Thank you for your reply!

I didn't know they were all Hungarian. Very interesting. You said:

I asked about Thelma Moss since she "wrote the book" so to speak on Kirlian photography, and the article you linked about Grandpierre referenced Kirlian Photography, along with a lot of other "new age" aspects of some "old age" philosophies.

I can't help but wonder if the new freedom of Eastern Europe has encouraged some to rediscover their roots - spiritual beliefs and such - which may have been outlawed under socialism/communism. Hmmm...

Yes, Eastern Europe has fascinating roots, indeed.

I do know Dr. Grandpierre has a profound interest in ancient cultures. I know that he was deeply disturbed by the communist regime's misappropriation and co-option of Hungarian cultural symbols, particularly folk art and music, that it "twisted" in such a way as to legitimize and prop up the state -- and he loudly complained about it at the time.
