"Heard and Huxley created a 'club for mystics' that profoundly influenced several architects of the new American spirituality. In addition to Smith, there were Bill Wilson, cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous; and Michael Murphy, who used Trabuco as the model for Esalen Institute at Big Sur, the birthplace of the human potential movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The spiritual legacy of Trabuco also lives on through the growing legions of Americans who now, according to a 2008 Pew Research Center survey on religion, claim no religious affiliation and might identify themselves as 'spiritual but not religious.'"
