I'm Daniel and I'm a writer from England. I created this blog because I wanted to give you the truth about the "Quantum Jumping scam".

.............

The thing about this entire Quantum Jumping Burt Goldman thing is simple. People are shocked by the concept of parallel universes and so it’s in their natural instinct to feel like they’re being tricked in some way.

i can't stop thinking about this shit. watching this interview with miriam gubovicova for the 3rd time and worrying that i'm in too deep.

As we promised, here at Mindvalley (the publishing company producing FinerMinds) we've been working to develop ways to help you discover your inner powers and become anything you want to be - the kind of visionary who dreams up game-changing businesses and gets featured in magazines. Or an abundant adventurer with all the resources you need to travel the world, live like a rockstar and cross every item off your bucket list.

its pretty smart of these guys, they register a billion sites SEO-optimized for their product and "scam"

daniel is a writer from england so

"the leaderonomics show" is not a cnbc asia program, i don't think

http://leaderonomics.com/theleaderonomicsshow/

that host came up on google as a HR manager for GE asia in 2003, at least

http://www.cfo.com/article.cfm/3010619/2/c_2984789?f=related

that's one of those things that seems so minor, but like, why fib about it? no you were not on cnbc asia, you were just on some webshow.

it does not look like a real show.

also the way the host grunted "uh-huh" "ya" "yup" thru that interview, did not indicate to me someone really well-trained in on-air broadcasting

maybe they wanted to convey an amateur vibe. you have to watch out for these people! they are subtle manipulators

in this kick ass video we want to convey a kick ass amateur vibe

we're amateur vibe rockstars

I had a loooong talk with my mom about this thread on Saturday -- she is trying to write a book, and she goes to a lot of "conferences for writers" (that's what she calls them) and they are full of aspiring life coaches and self-help hucksters in addition to regular people trying to sell memoirs about their crazy lives. She's very aware of this panoply of potential weirdos/predators, but has made a few questionable "friends" along the way. She's kind of a curious restless person (anyone who knows me knows that this sounds familiar) and I think she goes there to peoplewatch as much as anything else. She has also made some alright friends and people who are genuinely interested in what she's doing and whatnot.

tl;dr --> my mom is into this shit (like this thread is, not like involved)

has this been posted?

vishen otm?

replace "fox news" with "mindvalley"

ha ha we so need an mindvalley IRE thread in a similar vein to the google+ google plus googleplus invites thread.

cool story vishen

She's kind of a curious restless person (anyone who knows me knows that this sounds familiar) and I think she goes there to peoplewatch as much as anything else. She has also made some alright friends and people who are genuinely interested in what she's doing and whatnot.

I feel like I'm a lot like this and sometimes I worry I'll get sucked into something that tweaks my specific idiosyncrasies. Then again, I don't really have the kind of money to get too deep into these kind of things...

Does make me think about the whole "stare not long into the abyss" thing. I already own The Power of Now, perhaps its already too late for me XD

Yeah, I think some people are just wired to find this sort of peoplewatching interesting, and it can get a little scary if you get too close. I was checking in with her to tell her about Vishen and the gang, but also to make sure that her radar was still functioning. She has gotten herself into a bit of a pickle before, and was doing a lot of work for free, and it was getting in the way of her relationships with other people (namely me).

I think it's interesting to vicariously experience these different states and mindsets in other people ... it's like exploration, satisfies a kind-of curiosity. Problem is actually getting too deep with it which is more dangerous with social stuff.

i enjoy people watching, but a far as loons like these the internet is abt as close as im confortable getting, theres a big diff between watching and interacting, actually relating to these fools would be p depressing imho

Yeah, that's some dark territory to get into. Like imagining how a crazy person thinks ... it's really weird and unsettling.

Yeah, my mom is a bit of a danger-seeker/tourist, I think. It's weird, but I totally get it.

these guys and their insular weird culture depress me!

*pops champagne to inaugurate 10th year of posting on message board*

haha

also:

I don't think it's actually that weird to compare how these people are fucked up to how we're all fucked up, like aren't we all part of a big cult called...america
