1-- The Incredible String Band's Robin Williamson and Mike Heron, whom I 
revere, were deeply into Scientology.  So careful with that tarbrush...!
2-- Kate definitely was into Gurdjieff, and there's no onus there-- G. was 
an original, advanced, insightful thinker about the human condition.  
Aside from the reference in Them Heavy People, there are subtler 
references in Full House ("Remember yourself" was G's central teaching), 
in Breathing ("All and everywhere" must reflect G's "All and Everything" 
series), and I think in Strange Phenomena ("G. arrives, funny had a 
feeling he was on his way" is too similar to the style of Ouspenski's "In 
Search of the Miraculous" to be coincidental, to my ear...)

I'm perfectly agreed that discussions of the validity of Scientology, 
Homeopathy and Gudjieff belong elsewhere, but if you have quotes to back 
up your claims, they belong here, along with counterevidence about KT's 
beliefs.
