New Age is a classification of beliefs and movements that share common traits as described in the article New Age. A great many of these beliefs are drawn from several different cultures and religions from Hinduism and Buddhism to mystic Christianity and Hellenic religion. Many New Age phenomena are not expected to be duplicated in the scientific sense, since they are presumed to be apparent only in a receptive mind. For example, telepathy may not be possible for a skeptical mind since a skeptical mind is pre-conditioned not to expect the phenomenon to exist.
