Notes

Kitselman had a brief brush with Scientology, but we can forgive him for that.

"He taught his children that all the major religions basically teach the same thing: that we should all pursue our connection to our higher self, the master, the inner voice, the saviour, the aumakua, the bodhi, God, Buddha, Jesus, our soul, the all-knowing, the inner voice, our intuition, 'I've got a hunch,' 'something tells me,' our superconscious, or 'whatever you want to call it. Since there are many names for this, and the name to be used depends on the person and their cultural orientation, he used "E" when referring to this, and the appropriate word is to be verbally filled in during E-Therapy sessions. He said that all religions had their Prophets, those who spread this word, in various ways and times throughout history. He further told us that it was man who often corrupted the message, that we all have a direct connection to this, and that we don't need to go to an organized house of worship to get it....He also taught us not to deify anyone to the point of our own blindness.
