You guys this thread has just reminded me of the dreadful Eckhart Tolle "Power of Now" book my mother gave me once as a bday gift... she said it'd been on Oprah and that immediately got my hackles up but I gave it a read to humour her... and I couldnt finish more than a few chapters, it was so unnerving and creepy!

Then I looked him up on wikipedia and when I read "he underwent, at age 29, an "inner transformation", then spent several years wandering and unemployed "in a state of deep bliss" before becoming a spiritual teacher." I shoved the book in the back of a wardrobe.

so i just saw a trailer for a new paul rudd jennifer aniston movie called uh - Wanderlust? - where they visit a commune with all kinds of nu-age hippies and i guess have lots of sex? it looks pretty bad.

Been reading the same crap all over the web. Get your shit together mindvalley. Your products sell promises to people looking for more happiness in life, or a path to follow because they are lost. You should be ashamed of the lineup that you sell. Way to take advantage of the weak. On top of that you don't return their money and give child like excuses why or what happened. If I did that with my business it would fail eventually. Maybe you do read/listen to some of your own products. You may think that you will manifest your ideas to others... Not for long when you take advantage of them.
To the people that need or think that they need this type of path or help. Please pick up the phone and call your family or friend. If you don't have that, go find the things that make you smile. Do it yourself. Don't let people that charge you money tell you what to do.
Its called a conflict of interest.

It was fun while it lasted.

its only started, our journey...

btw polyphonic i sent that to 1m ppl after you posted it on the tim & eric thread... any chance you saved a copy?

I have it saved on my hard drive at home, yes.

: )

GIS for Tolle in general is frightening.. he has one of those strangely flaccid, saggy buddha-like faces that seem so... culty.

It was fun while it lasted.

"By learning a few simple techniques, you can alter your destiny."

Isn't everybody's destiny to die and be forgotten? What techniques does the Silva Method offer to alter that?

I haven't read this thread but when I was in HK this guy was all over the billboards

dunno if you can track him back tho

reproduction and the creation of immortal art xp

I love how Silva Method dude's videos are all coooool glitchy ambient techno, and white-tunnel FX to emulate LIFE AFTER DEATH MANNNN

immortal art

no such thing FYI.

btw has anyone mentioned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_(1995_film)

it seems apposite

close enough? http://www.damninteresting.com/this-place-is-not-a-place-of-honor/ xp

love that movie. xp

Ooh that looks interesting, though I'd get frustrated at her I think. Also reminds me of those ppl who think threads grow out of their skin but thats going way off topic.

i know i said i was done but

pretty low-rent, ladies.

"Gonna make a chance!" sounds like something Homsar would say

it's good for children to have fears so they don't grow up and get run over by a train.
