    Better not speak up against the cult of the material. :eek:

    I give it another week before we see at least 5 Hollywood stars on this band wagon.

    As soon as that happens the gig is up... :p

  2. Why do half ass traders, who can't even keep simple promises believe they are above everybody else and don't need therapy themselves? :D jk

    (I too hate it when that happens....)

  3. Again, the distinction needs to be made as to the nature of the therapy you are referring to. Bibliotherapy tends to soothe the reader (refer to David Burns's Feeling Good Handbook). On the other hand, retail therapy generally has a disproportionately beneficial, lasting effect on the vendor. I looked through the book at a bookstore. If you bought the book, then I think it is fair to say that the author has BEEN-DONE-HAD you.

    Now, off you go. The universe is waiting.
    :p

  4. Agree.

    I also believe the book is not good and doesn't render a good image to the documentary. In order to really understand the power of the message one should see the DVD in full version.

    After that, read the creative process in the individual by Troward, and finish off with the science of getting rich by Wattles.

    As Spyder puts it, mileage may vary though....(sometimes significantly), but the mix is pretty potent.

  5. Admittedly, I am not at all familiar with the DVD. Is that, perhaps, the more expensive alternative?
    :D

  6. You are welcome to use or waste your money as you wish.

    Nothing to debate here....

    Why all the tension guys? Someone said this, and I concur:

    You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it to be, you are here to create the world around you that you choose, while you allow the world as others choose it to be, to exist also.

    Peace...

    Ha !

    CNN just released the results of the latest CDC study of most prescribed drugs in America.

    Can you guess the number 1

    That's right Antidepressants .. :cool:

    Good to see this so called secret has been so effective.




    People listen to me:

    The best way to feel good and help yourselves is not found in a $50 dvd / book.

    Get out of your house go down the street and give the first homeless guy you meet a $50 food voucher / gift certificate.



    Do that once a week and then watch your life change for the better.

  9. These are old messages. Its an old Con. Anyone remember T. Lobsang Rampa --- and can anyone tell us who he really was.

    Regarding the packaging: remember that a pig with lipstick is still a pig.

    I watched the first part of Opra's special and she bought out all these exceptionally successful people to talk about it. If you have any doubt about the con look at the special and look at who the people were and what they were succeeding at!

    If it feels too good. If it looks too easy. If you can't see the sucker in the game. Its a very old story.

    How wonderful for you. As for me, I am a devout atheist. How wonderful for me, I can give all that glory to myself.

    And just fyi, faith does not require religion.
