Talk:Berkeley Psychic Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I chose to delete this sentence:

"The education and instruction of the Berkeley Psychic Institute is indicative of cult behavior, and should be analyzed very carefully before engaging in."

This statement is based on opinion and does not describe facts. There is no reason that it should be incuded here, anymore than it should be included in other spiritual organization articles. The phrase "should be analyzed very carefully" is also the author's opinion; advice is meant for forums, not wikipedia articles.

[edit] quoting internal terminology

I extended the quotes in the following sentence to delineate terms that represent internal terms used at the institute:

The Institute primarily uses psychic readings as way to "clear energy" and "de-energize mental image pictures."

I'm not sure this is the best way to handle this particular sentence, but I think the terms should definitely be somehow delineated if they are included at all.

[edit] Uncited Material

I removed the following paragraph due to it's lack of any citations:

A full examination of Lewis Bostwicks belief system seem to indicate that he suffered from some form of mania. It is unknown whether he suffered from Bipolar Disorder One or was Schizophrenic. His belief in questionable abilities with such certainty in addition to erratic and eccentric behavior leads one to question his state of mental health. It is well documented but not well known amongst most church members that Lewis was on Predisone. His personality changed dramatically after he started taking his medication. Additionally, Lewis attempted to committ suicide by overdosing on Prednisone. His failed attempt led to hospitalization and loss of the use of his legs.
