  1. Michael Murphy, Esalen's potentialist

    Before the Esalen Institute, there was Michael Murphy's family's property, a choice chunk of gorgeous Big Sur, where, in 1962, Murphy (writer, seeker) and his friend and fellow human potentialist Dick Price dedicated the Murphy land to the now 50-year-old center for the pursuit of personal and social consciousness-raising. Notables like Aldous Huxley, Abraham Maslow, Joan Baez and Henry Miller contemplated themselves and the world there. Esalen's scholarly social initiatives tend to get overlooked, while the touchy-feely stuff gets the attention. Recent staff changes, the opening of a Carmel office and putting meat — albeit organic — on Esalen's menu has some grousing about its pristine alt cred. Murphy, now director of Esalen's Center for Theory and Research, is a witty, well-schooled man who stays — there's no other word for it — centered.

  3. Daum: Don't 'drink the Kool-Aid'

    Drunk any Kool-Aid lately? Or maybe you accused someone else of doing it? If so, congratulations, you're right in step with one of the nation's most popular idiomatic trends. A snappy, fruit-flavored way of referring to someone who unquestioningly embraces a particular leader or ideology, "drinking the Kool-Aid" has become a staple of self-righteous public discourse.

  21. Phantom Planet explores cults in 'Raise the Dead'

    There is a dark side to pop. It can be heard in the Beatles' "Helter Skelter," the Rolling Stones' "Midnight Rambler," Elvis Costello's "Accidents Will Happen." For songwriters, bad news can be an inspiration. Alex Greenwald, the singer-guitarist of L.A.-based Phantom Planet, certainly went to dark places for his band's  latest album, "Raise the Dead," which explores the grim phenomenon of cults. His new songs dig into some of the darkest American tales and tragedies of the 20th century, feeding on the legacies of Charles Manson, David Koresh, Jim Jones and others.
