man i heard the new james bond movie is supposed to be really weird

don't want to derail the thread but I have friends who have gotten really into AA over the past couple years and they are now moving closer and closer to shit like this

it's basically a pyramid scheme that doesn't help you but helps the group, then. i know plenty of people here in l.a. (which is admittedly perhaps more obnoxious about it and here it's more culty perhaps) who have experienced it and the ones who are acolytes are, of course, super into it (which is stupid imo) and the ones who have friends who have gone that route share similar tales of them changing for the worse w/r/t being a spokesperson or recruiter waaaaay too often.

wait there's repeats

irl lols

why is the language of these things so technical and so meaningless? is it trying to sound scientific? it bothers me so much!

overcoming brain injury

Read this as overcomBing brain injury. Which would indeed be mysterious.

i'm going to re-post this for those who may have missed it last nite:

so far, my favorite Mindvalley product is QUANTUM JUMPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just watch this interview Vishen did at the home of Burt Goldman, developer of the Quantum Jumping method:

thank you for posting this thread here, gr8080. entertaining stuff i couldn't have seen otherwise :-)

bing brain injury, find malek

Mindvalley seems like taking green advertising to an extreme ... pretty gross to play on peoples' moral instincts to extract $$$million$$$ out of them. tut tut, etc.

haha that stuck out to me too

^epitaph for this entire movement, if you can effortlessly pretend to be in possession of one meaningless skill why not 20, quantum jumping is kinda the ultimate cause u just beg the universe to bestow expertise upon you

the story of how he learned to become a photographer in just five days is amazing

'plant your feet' 'take lots of pictures'

'to date hes been in at least ONE International photography hall of fame'

"so far he's been in at least one, international photography hall of fame."

lol xp

ha, it is impressive

yeah but guys: dog+piano

just watched the vid, and sorry dudes but I actually kind of think if its just about thinking something dumb so you can try and make art that's fine kind of?

But then when it comes to basking in the monetization of everything and spreading the horrible thought process that led you to make what you've made then it becomes indefensible?

http://sht.tl/EGI

i wanna see him quantum jump into some skills that actually take a significant investment in education/skill - like why can't he quantum jump into learning judo?

well that might be next

he should've held the footage until then

his grandkids are going to go to 10 colleges, that is crazy

ok I obv didn't get to the piano yet before I posted my last post

none of these guys can hold a candle to braco. quantumleaping? don't need it. this guy just stands and looks at people.
