wow that Aaron McCollum interview.

we're def in to coast 2 coast stuff which i adore but is a little diff from what i was trying to corral when i started this thread

1:26:30

i'm 15mins in to this interview and all i can think is what i'd do if i ended up in a conversation at a bar w/ this guy

he does look like a dude youd meet at a bar

I have met multiple dudes who sound like this at bars

the last one I saw again about a month ago when he was right behind me in the grocery store line and he started to ask about the beer I was buying and I was trying to be kind and give short answers and not make eye contact

transcript: http://projectcamelotproductions.com/interviews/operation-stargate/operation-stargate.html

thanks for posting that, cuz no way in hell was i gonna spend more than half a minute actually watching and listening that that guy. perfectly satisfied w skimming half the transcript.

AM: So where I live in Pasadena, I’m surrounded by some very awful things.

KC: So we’re talking about a hotbed of the Illuminati, but we’re also talking about a military presence.

They’ve learned that they could put a person in with these dolphins and actually it would cause deep molecular and psychic vibrations that happen where the dolphin is almost used... is used as a medium... and this person becomes a conductor. They coexist in this way, so that it really heightens the senses of the psyche of a person.

KC: Right. And so then what would happen? guess we’re kind of going off into the area of speculation, although it occurs to me that perhaps this is part of your buried memories.

i wonder exactly how many times this aaron mccollum person has seen the bourne movies?

but yeah gr80 otm, the mindvalley ppl ultimately make me angry but these free-your-mind self deluders just make me feel sad

the first three and a half minutes of this are really worth your time

this

mostly otm, tho the freemind people sometimes make me mad for different reasons, like tax evaders who call themselves political prisoners

mindvalley also makes me sad, so much struggle

dont get in a mindvalley about it

don't cut a a six-inch mindvalley in the middle of your skull, bro.

soul, i mean. damn.

I think I just used quantum jumping to learn how to... feel

i guess more than the monetization of things, the whole constructed elitism thing is really what makes Mindvalley/self-help way more creepy & fascinating than these other people who are just weirdos

^ super OTM

like you have Vishen outright bragging about how exclusive Awesomeness Fest is whereas I can't imagine Free Your Mind Conference turning away anyone.

vishen's playing the game. hey man, you're one of the chosen ones, so come with me... definitely more sinister than the usual new agey weirdo thing.

LOL we should poll those youtube titles...

"How to be the Boss of Your Desires"... lol that just doesn't even make sense. Being the boss of my own company, be the boss of my financial planning & decisions, etc... if it said that it would makes sense but, like, who else would be in control of my desires? By definition they are mine!

by definition you are theirs

OIC... passions of the mind, etc... still a semantically terrible title.

only I can do this

ââ,¬Â¢

these guys are funny w/their 5 min youtube video solutions to lifes great problems

how to be the boss of yr own desires is weighted the same as how to shoot professional videos, theres is nothing that cant be solved via webinar

lagoon u ditched the vlogging game too early, imo

rip my thought leadership clout

someone once gave me this ridiculous DVD

http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Extended-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/B000K8LV1O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1329339022&sr=8-5

unfortunately it made me hate life even more

yah the secret is some foul shit, what every mind valley aspires to

this thread would not exist without the secret

• ask
• believe
• receive

The Secret seem like "people are easily manipulated if you tell them what they want to believe, and you can sell lots of DVD's"

its just another vers of the law of attraction, this time w/pro marketing

magical thinking always leads tot he same thought, its a universal constant

THERE IS that one guy with braided hair who seem slike he has the most BS job in the universe - like he a "spiritual consultant" or something

mv people seem to talk about the secret a lot

I've always thought that an "America's Best Motivational Speaker" would be reality show gold. Winners are determined by who can gain the most followers with special weekly challenges for motivating/coaching addicts, jobless, etc.

I love this guy's blogging

http://livingstingy.blogspot.com/2010/10/are-all-motivational-speakers-frauds.html

this just all makes me want to start a spoof life coaching/personal growth website (that will "accidentally" be taken seriously and make me a wealthy cult leader)
