He also insists in creating a completely new set of terminology on the subject, one that only HE understands... a classic way to become an "instant expert", whilst actually knowing nothing.

The question is this... would you rather learn real information or false information?

If you don't care, that's ok it's your choice.
However for those of us who want to spend our precious time and energy well, we don't want to waste our time learning nonsense from someone who seems more interested in promoting their own agenda than teaching the truth.
Oh I see..

I think you focused mostly on the way he delivered his idea. I think I can't even remember he actually said he was an expert, though I might be wrong here.

If you can watch and read all his movies and pdfs, it mostly centered on OBEs. Which I believe is actually our spirit leaving our bodies in might be contradicting to what others believe that it is just a dream scene of your bedroom. I have already read a lot of books on OBEs and they somehow matches his method. That's why I can grasp what he is really talking about.

Of course, real information. Are you justifying that he is giving out false information? I guess you even haven't watched half of his videos. Am I right?

You are saying that his idea is nonsense. Maybe because it is different from what you believe?


A lot of people judge a novel after just skimming Chapter 1.
