Why "New Age" Is Mostly a Sales Opportunity (An Academic Summary)
1/ The statement "New Age is a joke" captures real scholarly concern.
Not because esotericism is fake—but because modern "New Age" represents secularized, commercialized adaptation rather than faithful transmission of Western mystery traditions.

RAY LYNCH
Deep Breakfast
1984 U.S. pressing
A perfect late night spin, and one of my three favorite #ambient / #newage records ever.
I first heard this WAAAY back in the mid 90s.
I was visiting my best friend’s house for the first time, and upon entering his house, I saw a giant pile of CDs on a side table.
“These yours?”, I asked him.
“Nah, man. Those are my Dad’s.”
I noticed most of it. A lot of classic rock, some folk stuff, Simon and Garfunkel…etc.
Then I saw THIS in there.
I had never heard of Ray Lynch before, so I was intrigued.
“Dude, what’s this about?”
“I don’t know man. Let’s throw it on.”
I was hooked from the very first track “Celestial Soda Pop”, which apparently, early #80s NPR used as a theme song for one of their shows back then.
Just a beautiful album.
Dan’s father never saw that cd again. 🤷
