Wow, thanks. It's as though they're insane. Yet, most often, it turns out they're actors on the global stage. I see the Esalen Institute mentioned. As a young teen I came across the works of Joseph Campbell and thought I found a big key to understanding the human psyche. Turns out he's in the club. Some of the players are very subtle, like Campbell, harder to spot, though he was closely associated with Esalen.
