[edit] Can you explain his connection to New Thought

Someone just added New Thought Movement and New Thought writer cat tags to this article, but there is no textual refence to this person being associated with the New Thought Movemenet in any way. Please expalin the reason, or the cat may be deleted. Note that simply writing about spirituality or unusual techniques of spiritual attainment does not mean that a person is associated with New Thought. Thanks. cat Catherineyronwode 11:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advertisement

"During the 1970s, Burkan gained his reputation by creating innovative, cutting-edge methods for developing human potential." This reads like an advertisement and needs to be changed for NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.44.130 (talk) 01:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
