I think we've crossed the rubicon from hucksters to lunatics (maybe we crossed it awhile ago?).

yeah these guys are almost cute + loveable in a "aw you kids go have fun now, dont hurt anybody!" way compared to Mindvalley etc

I was going to post about the time I went to a new age conference/expo like the one Spectrum posted about and a reiki practitioner demonstrated reiki on me while grinding his johnson against my hand (multi-tasking) but then Dolphin Human Hybrid and it just seems so inconsequential now.

Once you cross the Rubicon, though, it means war!

I'm a human/dolphin hybrid

i am a weredolphin.

I love you for this

like who owns all those stores that sell giant pewter dragons holding crystal balls and like tarot cards you can buy featuring members of popular 80s band tears for fears as the tower the jester the prince the hot topic merchant etc

i was walking by one of these stores the other day, and i sort of gazed longingly curiously in through the window for a while because i used to be heavy into pewter dragons and gem dice when i was a kid, and i was kind of weirded to notice that all the cast-resin fairy statues were tarted up like goth chicks, with like striped stockings and eyeliner and artfully distressed leaf brassieres and shit. i was kind of bumming on the state of fairies today because the fairies of my youth didn't have to be all trendy and slutted out, but then i realized that the fairies of my youth were actually trendy, slutted out stevie nickses, with diaphanous gowns and crystal coke spoons, only i didn't realize it at the time because my sphere of awareness was limited to RPGs and the ghost rider.

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
