::: You seem to have reverted my edit on the grounds of a wording error in my explanation, but it seems that my point still stands; "seek to unite science and spirituality" does not accurately describe the "New Age approach to science," because science relies on testable explanations, which are almost invariably absent on matters of spirituality. I can think of no compromise, as my initial edit was incredibly minor as to the change in meaning, anyway. Added "purportedly" back, in lieu of a better solution. (also I remembered to log in yay)

Outdated statement
Part of the statements about the supposed affiliation of New Agers to the Democratic Party of the United States, and opposition to the Republican Party, are based on a 1995 source. It is speaking about the political affiliations of New Agers during the Presidential term of Ronald Reagan (1981-1989). Nothing seems to cover changes in their political affiliations over the last 28 years. Do we have more recent sources? Dimadick (talk) 15:58, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
A valid point; I'm not sure if we have any more recent sources, so it is probably best that we add sentences ensuring that the date of the source is made clearer. Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:20, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Yes, excellent point. I have just altered the relevant sentence (end of the first "Demographics" sub-section) so it now begins, "In 1995. ..." Even if more recent reliable data is found and used, I suggest we retain this sentence as it provides a useful snapshot of the era. - Babel41 (talk) 20:38, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

This article talks about Paul Heelas. A long time ago, I was personally informed by Paul Heelas that he defined the New Age as seeing God as the Self. There could be a link to Self religion here. Vorbee (talk) 19:39, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Modified the wording of a section to improve accuracy
The position that new age science seeks to unite science and spirituality is non-neutral in favor of new age; "new age science" is a misnomer, as it is not science. It takes a sentence of reading through the science article to see this.

p.s. - this is not to say that there is not New Age Pseudoscience (see Masaru Emoto), but the correspondence between real science and intuitive understanding of reality goes back at least as far as Gary Zukav's 1979 book The Dancing Wu Li Masters - pseudoscience is not limited to New Age, as in the cold fusion fiasco 1989 - Epinoia (talk) 20:39, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
