A popular business guru, Lance Secretan, belongs to the Institute of Noetic Sciences (you know, the institute behind psychic research). World business Academy, a Noetic Sciences institution, labels Secretan as a missionary.
What is Secretan's end game? Transformation by conversion to his myth. Using the power of business he hopes to transform the world into a spirit. The Institute of Noetic Sciences teaches that the next stage in human evolution is pure spirit. If that is the end then where does Lance begin his missional evangelizing? He begins by changing language. He reinterprets words like “sacred”, “inspiration” and “love”. He robs religion of these words and uses them towards his own end. Once his pupils accept redefined words then Oneness magic is just a punctuation mark away. Here Lance talks about his orchestration of words to bring change, “....Part of my work is modeling what it looks like to be a male leader....Just the very use of words alone will make a big difference. This is the type of work that I've been pioneering over the years....”
Not only is his method hostile to religion it’s also bad for business. An army of squirrels, chipmunks and bats couldn’t put a balance sheet together. Looking for advice based upon superstition is baseless. Using superstition as an excuse for self-indulgence is reckless (the squirrel told me to do it). The serial murderer Son of Sam, who received murderous instruction from a dog, tried that excuse. Bare with me if this sounds rational, but we should know the sources we’re getting our information from. If one collaborator gets advice from a ferret, another a mongoose, and yet another from an invisible whisperer who sits on his shoulder then how does one reach consensus? He can't. Instead, he trusts his own guide, and that guide will probably be something completely inconsequential like a mushroom. Oneness disintegrates when everyone follows his own intuition. Business guru advice may be no better then getting advice from a howler monkey.

Besides, listening to chipmunks leads to crossdressing.
