It would not surprise me if one day in the near future your stellar documentary work will be recognized with a film award. All your work has been an enthralling pleasure to watch.
@@ChengTeoh The only thing Neville ever sold were his books. He actively refused people’s money and never asked for a single dime. He was here for a greater purpose which was the fulfillment of the promise. You might already know this, so do with that info what you will. Edit: Neville also didn’t target a “vulnerable” audience. People that came to him were from all walks of life, from the wealthy to the happily married to those in tip top health. He also wasn’t on the Law of Attraction BS that’s been recently coined 🪙.
Thank you for the video! I am a survivor, having a parent who believed in the law of attraction to a toxic and unhealthy degree… Layers and layers of victim blaming over the years. Your video is now a part of my healing journey. I think you did a great job on the visuals and editing… Was really easy to follow along. Thank you!
Same here. My mom fell victim to that belief and passed it on to me. I was discouraged from developing my own interests as a child because the things I was drawn to had 'low vibrations' and I was 'hurting myself' by having them in my life. I had intrusive thoughts and felt negative emotions from time to time, like any human does, which made me feel guilty for bringing misfortune on myself and people around me, which in turn created more and more intrusive thoughts and negative emotions.
That must have been such a nasty contradiction to unwind. "They're you're parent, they must know best, and they would never steer you wrong" is engrained in us from birth. So you're pretty awesome for surviving it and now healing yourself.
Hug. Recovering from dogmatic abuse & the resulting internal dehumanization is a journey of deprogramming. It been 6 months since your comment, & I wonder how things are going for you, and hoping you have found some ease. 🖖
Thank you so much. The concept of LOA took over my life for the last several years in a very toxic way, especially when the world at large is constantly parroting these ideas both online and IRL. I blamed myself for everything bad that had ever happened to me, even when I knew it wasn’t logical. I feel so freed after watching this. It’s so dangerous and harmful, these facts are so important for everyone to know.
The teachings of "we are gods" and "we are worms," although looking like opposites, result in the same cruel damage to those who believe. If you're NEVER allowed to just accept both the glory and the absurdity of being human, it will lead to a dark place. Stoicism, determinism, Calvinism etc. lead to the "we are worms" conclusion -- so anything bad that happens to you is your fault, even if you are unable to change it. A little bit insane and unhinged. But the opposite, "we are gods," ALSO means that anything bad that happens to you is your fault, because you didn't "believe" enough or have strong enough ability to prevent it. Both of those views completely strip us if our humanity. There's no mercy, no compassion -- just blind, brute worship of "principle" even in the face of self-mutilation. Letting go of that lust for "certainty" is paradoxically the only path to emotional security.
As some say "Every job is more likely a pyramide scheme in some sense, but we as humans are not aware of it much. " every job is like that and someone has to promote a product to make money, to survive and pay the employees. The author of this video is also part of very different pyramide scheme, or youtube type of scheme, without realizing it.
I promise you the answers your looking for, the void your trying to fill you can all be found in a relationship with Jesus. He loves you and wants a relationship with you
I've read The Secret. Honestly, my takeaway is that positive thinking can help motivate you when you feel shitty, but you have to do the actual work to achieve actual stuff. If you're sick, go to the doctor, if you want money, you have to work at something. A perfect life will not just fall into your lap because you think happy thoughts.
many people think that the law of attraction just places whatever you want into your hands the following week after thinking about it the week prior. i think maybe the law of attraction just opens your mind to more possibilities, leading you to believe that you manifested opportunities. people forget that there has to be actions taken to get where/what/who you want
I agree, I also believe that if you do the work and you are heading to your dream job or whatever because your done the work to get there and you keep saying “it will never happen” you are right, it will never happen because you are self sabotaging.
Go to the doctor. Bah. Let's hope they don't kill you first. Doctor's don't know shit anymore and are pill pushers. But LOA is a scam too. You have to become your own doctor. Ayurveda is pretty good. But we do need meat. If you have an illness, don't give up searching until it's solved.
@@Sarahizahhsum funny you should say that, because I have an illness that has me going from one doctor to another to get answers/relief, and I can understand your frustrations with the medical establishment. But when I said, "Go to a doctor", I mean that you can't just wish illness away using positive thinking. Basically, mix the esoteric with the practical
My impression is that many New Age students disengage from Reality, become passive and ironically extremely compliant with Authoritarian directives because It’s more comfortable to not assume personal responsibility. A Course in Miracles friend told me that he believed nothing is real ... he later tragically ended his own life.
My siblings are extremely greedy, want to be multimillionaires with not having to work. They believe in these Gurus and Law of attraction. My sister has been on several Esther Hicks cruises. Both of my siblings started to do evil things. They ruined my reputation with terrible lies and think it’s funny. They stole laptops, jewelry and my gold and silver coins. Then they stole my part of the inheritance I got from my dad. They both say, they didn’t do anything wrong and that it’s my bad luck that they stole from me.
That is truly tragic and very sad. I’ve heard of several people going absolutely broke following Esther Hicks, Sri A and Bob Proctor. These guru grifters are all about suspending common sense, disregarding critical thought and avoiding reality using comforting words and watered down spirituality as bait. I totally resent the way they belittle people who work jobs.
@@MissRed92837 The same thing happened to me. I reported the Public Trustee for PERJURY. Ever since then, I have been under attack from the EVIL MASONS. This is a big county town. THEY ALL KNOW OR ARE MARRIED OR LIVING WITH EACH OTHER. The police raided my house ILLEGALLY WITHOUT A WARRANT while I was out. I only know because all the neighbours ran up to tell me when I got home. The real estate has tried to ILLEGALLY evict me 3 times. THREE COPS showed up at my house when they KNOW I am living alone, they would not tell me why they were here. THEY WANTED TO COME INTO MY HOUE. I SAID "'NOT WITHOUT A WARRANT" But I don't care. I did NOTHING to ANYONE. I had a MORAL obligation to report a CROOKED PUBLIC OFFICIAL. I stand firm ALONE against a small army. I pray to the Lord for help and the strength to keep on fighting for JUSTICE. They even dragged my name through the dirt and are all laughing at me.. But that is OK. GOD SEES ALL. My inheritance was STOLEN by my EVIL sister with the HELP of these crooked officials. IT IS NOT HAPPENING. NOPE. They are going to prison for PERJURY - UP TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON. They should NEVER have come for a Bible believing, Jesus loving Christian with a DEGREE IN CRIMINOLOGY. BIG MISTAKE.
My mother gave me some advice years ago and it has never steered me wrong yet. "If it sounds to good to be true, it is. If solving a problem was that easy, no-one would be sick/fat/poor/lonely etc"
If all this soft of thing works then why are people still depressed, unemployed, miserable. I nearly got caught up a few years ago. Did not part with very much money found it did not work but I learned a valuable lesson. This guy really tells the truth.
Terrible mindset regardless of if you believe in self help or not. There is so much useful information in these books and you can take from it what you want but it sounds to me like your mum lost belief in achieving the life she wanted and now has installed those thoughts into you
@@adrianakusieluskus8941 your life is shit, don't blame other people because you dont have the ability to use your'e imagination to make your life better, no one told you to read these books or view positive content, keep being negative and see how far that gets you
I am diagnosed with OCD, so thoughts can easily become “negative” and can stay at the front of my mind for hours on end. When I first started suffering from this, I was a believer that thoughts have some special meaning, and that belief amplified my OCD. Therapy has taught me that thoughts don’t have meaning unless you give them meaning. Everyone thinks “immorally” at times, but behavior is what makes the difference. This video is liberating!
I have ocd too. Sometimes I get anxiety what thoughts changes to reality the negative one. Obvi I want positive one too come in reality but not negative one.
I haven't been diagnosed but i experimented the same thing. At one short period of time i really believed that the thoughts had a real impact on the world as i dwelved into the law of attraction. It was great as i was looking for a job and started the position. But as i did not need it anymore, i saw how guilt inducing it was. And I learned about cognitive bias, magical thought found in psychosis
Listen, take it from me, I was depressed, suicidal, and gave up on my life 7 years ago, I decided with willpower to change my way of perception and the story I was telling myself. The thoughts that were in my mind were negative, I was broke, didn't see any way out, taking care of a sick parent, felt stuck in life, and my thoughts were down right draining the life out of me. A sudden shift happened within myself, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and I took accountability for everything in my life then let go of fear and guilt. I started believing in myself more, and things I wanted would happen, I put in the effort for them though. Things don't just magically happen for you, you must seek them out with intention, willpower and action. Positive thinking helps a lot though, to see the bright side of a horrible situation might change the way you see everything in life. Now I look for opportunity In every situation (good or bad). Final thoughts...A true "Guru" won't charge you money to teach you something that is priceless. There are too many scammers out there so be careful!
Craig ... i think the law of attraction has been water down ... the reality is , it works BUT you must put a lot of effort and be mindful. ... you cannot be in the desert and expect a ferrari i came from the most poor village in Africa ... holding a positive mind and believing helps to give you hope ... thats all what i had m, hope for a positive live and guess what i did it . I am now a network cloud engineer married to a beautiful european woman with 2 kids and if i look back i don't see what really happened than hope and positive mind i hold all my life I am not defending the Secret but i am telling you nothing in your life is for nothing , when you feel low , broke , suicidal etc... there is a lesson to learn.
I've been there myself; I felt lonely, my glass empty, nothing to see, no-one to talk to, then, I realized that it was four o'clock and happy hour wouldn't start for another half-hour. That moment taught me patience.
My life has been changed through doing some of these new age practices along with Ritual Magick. I'm with you because you can't just do the internal work, it takes external effort. Almost everything I've learned has cost me nothing. I don't pay for workshops or seminars, and occasionally I will buy and audiobook or regular book to learn some deeper things. Even science is starting to suggest that reality is just a simulation and that our mind is what creates everything we see. We can all benefit from the help of psychotherapy and belief in ourselves. Again though I also believe that you still need to do the external work to give the internal a path of least resistance to work through. For example my partner and I did a ritual to manifest a new job for me that I would be happy at and be working for someone who was a good leader. I had already put in applications at that point and got a call the next day from a job an interview that lasted 5 min because it was a formality and started the following Monday. My manager is exactly the type of person I wanted to work for because he is a good leader and isn't going to stay in the same place forever, he is moving forward and is already putting in extra time to make sure I'm better at my job. Do I think I could of got the job either way, sure, do i think getting called the day after the ritual was a direct result of us doing that? Maybe or maybe not all I know is it put my head in the space to go after what I wanted. I just got lucky the first call I got was exactly what I wanted.
Active in Freemasonry for thirty-two years, Bob Proctor served as master and secretary of St. Martins Lodge in Chatham as well as several other lodges on Cape Cod, Boston, Cambridge, San Francisco and England.
Bcos this world has laws. Cash doesn't fall from sky, it comes to you thru ways per law .. work is one such law. Simples. Worried about how many like Christie don't get that. Basics.
The victim blaming thing has always made me angry. It destroys empathy and support so that if you have a misfortune, you get kicked when you're down. Its psychopathic and creates secondary psychopaths.
I was reading the "Law of Attraction" a few weeks ago. I had to stop reading when Abraham said women who are raped are not victims, but a "co-creator" in the rape. So disgusting.
Yeah! And how You Chose Your Parents to an abused child! These people know nothing but slapping others down who simply need to work through whatever it is in order to heal. You have to wonder what is really going on in their minds.
@@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace humans must understand and accept their nature . When we forgive ourselves we become able to forgive the other humans.
I’ve read all the books and seen all the videos, and it all started with the secret. The Secret helped me to not give up but I see it all for what it is now. This video is really well done.
If you're looking into spirituality, just note: You dont need crystals, tarot, tapestries, etc.(material objects associated with it). That's not what makes spirituality, spirituality. Edit: Spiritual Ego is the biggest form of Ego
@theedge8992 Satan has nothing to do with spirituality. Besides, he's just a human construct to me, but he seems to have a lot of power in christianity. Dont agree with this because its not gods way? SATANIC!!
Everyone needs guidance. So that's not correct. But! We do need to become independent to the point where we feel comfortable with our ideas and the world.
Thanks for sharing this, please allow me to tell what my music teacher told me, “ If you idolize someone, you will never make it as a musician “. This thought , I etched into my mind with any other industry or people. I have realized that if I idolize anyone I will not be living my dreams and become unhappy. Not I am saying that you don’t need any inspiration but totally depending on other people’s advice and opinions you will never get a “Salvation “.!!!
Your uncle is correct. I’m a practitioner that helps people discover themselves. I charge no money... and I’m absolutely hated amongst the community because I actually walk the walk. And because I don’t charge money, and offer myself freely and help people get the results they wish for... I’m absolutely hated for it... new age spiritual folk in this for the money are, and can be quite vile creatures. When they discover you’re not like them and in it for the money and ego swell. They will attack you in anyway possible. Stooping lower than the energies they speak about. Your uncle is correct in my opinion. My experience tells me that most of these people are actually quite mentally ill and un aware of it, or in denial. Most of them can’t even follow the basic fundamentals that they teach. And as soon as you ask any questions that may seem “logical” or “rational” you are immediately cast aside... “not resonating” on the “right frequency” etc 😂 trust your uncles words! Because most of the people I have met are completely non genuine, full of shit, narcissistic arseholes! 😂
My mind had been set free when they asked me to pay. I was a believer before, but when I found out that further information needs a subscription fee. That's the time I found out that it was a scam. This new age belief is just like an abrahamic religion in disguise. Its like you are paying your efforts and money to scam you further
I don’t think the algorithm knows the benefit of the contrary or playing devils advocate. Maybe it does the dialect, however I can imagine it only pushes bias viewpoints.
When I was making $40,000 a month, I'd never once touched a self-help book. When I abruptly lost everything, I buried myself in these books searching for any solution to my financial problems. Likewise, I've never been more religious as when I was diagnosed with cancer. When we're most vulnerable, we're most at risk to falling prey to magical thinking.
I agree. That's when I was vulnerable also. I was dealing with abuse at work and wanted to get away from the environment. I was desperate and I started buying the books. I thinks it's amazing that you did good for your self financially without the self-help books. I hope your health has improved. It hurts my heart when people are foing through a tough time in life and are vulnerable but try to be positive and take positive action but still fail and people will shame you for feeling depressed about it. Life is already difficult enough and the heartless comments don't help.
Well see more than anything God was setting you thru such trials to humble you and look up to Him. But I see your logical thinking blinded you from that.
This is why I love UA-cam, despite all of the bots, the enormous quantity of shitty content, you can still find gems like this, good quality stuff. Thank you so much :]
The only secret is you have to take massive action towards your goals,feel uncomfortable and still there is no guarantee that anything will be achieved
Thanks for creating this. When The Secret came out, some of my best friends embraced it. We argued passionately with me questioning its absurdity and my friends defending it. One gay friend argued that as he'd learned from The Secret that the reason we are assaulted physically and verbally by bigots is because we expect to be. He went on that he got on a bus one day, where he's used to being called the F word and no one said anything bad to him because he forced his mind not to expect it. Notwithstanding the fact that as children, we never expect to be called these things or assaulted but we LEARN to expect them over a lifetime of such abuses, this movie taught my friend that being abused was his fault and that he could avoid being abused by basically burying his head in the sand. The Secret preys on people's need for control over things they can't control and misleads its audience into thinking they can't alter their lives with expectations. One of The Secret gurus caused the grizzly deaths of 2 high-paying followers in a fake Sweat Lodge where the group participants were all scalded by steam which he forced them to endure by concentrating, to the fatal detriment of his followers. Another of The Secret gurus was an admitted ex-convict. Con! The worst party to this crime, in my opinion, is Oprah Winfrey. She's a smart woman and has made herself very successful by her own efforts following effective thinking, not wishful thinking. Yet, she deliberately promotes these lies and these liars almost as a sort of class warfare tactic where billionaires seem to realize the best way to stay super-wealthy is to 'throw out oil slicks on the race track' of success, fooling people into wasting their time and not acting rationally to achieve. And many people eat it up. A second friend was poor, as we all were, and The Secret really appealed to her so much that it literally hurt and offended her need to believe it such that she became angry with and resentful of me for criticizing the ludicrous structure of the il-logic of the Law of Attraction. I call it the Law of DISTRACTION.
@@velveetaslingshot well I understand I am talking to a random person talking random shit. 😂😂 absolutely meaningless. it more meaningless than what self help gurus say. 😂
James, I said it before and I‘ll say it again: Your channel is by far the most underrated one I ever came across. 1-2 Million subs by the end of this year!
Omg I just remembered one teacher in middle school preaching all these stuff, she also told me that my aura was dark so it would have attracted bad stuff. I was like 13 and that was the moment I realized not all adults were intelligent
That’s child abuse! She should be struck off & never allowed around children or adolescents again. 13 is an incredibly vulnerable age. Thank goodness you had enough sense and self-esteem to see her BS for what it was, but someone not as strong as you could be absolutely broken by that statement.
@@layaclode6363 I mean yeah but she acted like she was some sort of crystal energy shaman, she wasn't evil or anything she was just a little brainwashed
Still, if she had the most basic of training in the esoteric (or psychological) sciences, she would have known to never EVER say anything like that. In my humble opinion, she was projecting HER darkness on to you. Never okay! Good on you for rejecting her vile authoritanism.
@@layaclode6363 Agreed, a hurt, lost person harming another without realizing it. Luckily Auro didn’t believe her but I bet some did…. I feel for them and am glad you just thought she was dumb. FYI most times we think someone is dumb its something like brainwashing or the seeing things like the dress as a different color because we are all a little different in some ways, the same in others. I hope she learned to stop saying that to kids or stops working with them if she cant grow beyond that…..
Thank you, I needed this. I'm somewhat involved with this stuff - and while it mostly just brings positive thinking and hope into my life, for a while it did cause me to wait around for good things to happen to me instead of putting in the work. I quit my job to build a business, a decision I still stand by, but at my core I believed things would just fall into place for me because I wanted it enough. I'm obviously young and naive and learning, and have since started putting in the work and doing the scary things. But in my low moments, I'll still reach for my tarot deck to try and extract some hope - I think I can excuse myself that weakness :)
The amount of effort it takes to make such a well made, well planned, well written video - and you do it all alone. I absolutely love your work, man. Take love and take care.
One of the best videos I have seen exposing the frauds of a multi-million industry. I was a believer of this movement for over 10 years and when I began to critically look at it, was shocked about the high amount of fraud and lies that were within. Your video is clear, without hate and very well done. Thank you James.
@@AngelkissDj Proud Green Party member here! I voted Socialist in recent election for governor of my state, because they were on the ballot. Very tough choice between them vs the Green candidates (Gov + Lt Gov pair). But, the Green candidates had been on the ballot before, and I'd voted for them before. So, I gave the new guys, the Socialists, a chance.
OMG! THIS EXPOSÈ MAKES ME SICK TO MY CORE!!!! So many names of people i have been exposed to, thinking they held All the Answers!! I Manifested more thru my own Mind and sheer Willpower when my life fell apart in 2011. In hindsight i guess didnt fully Trust my own Power and invested in many of these programs thinking ' I could do better' yet i had NO TANGIBLE RESULTS FROM THEM!!!!! Thank U James. Im so grateful for this eye-opening segment! New subscriber from South Africa 🙏💛
One of the strengths of these videos and your channel is that you don't mock or have a condescending tone about anyone. I cannot overstate how refreshing that is
… and there’s a lot of money to be made in that refreshing approach. There’s a lot of money to be made in the debunking business, and being respectful with it.
Cheers brother I love this & kudos to you for having the courage to admit you were duped & to have the grace to correct it by sharing the truth 🙏🏻 I have shared & will continue to do so. Sending love & light your way ❤️🙏🏻 xx
This is another from of bullshit I see everyday. People posting random quotes in youtube comments, and even dumber people falling for it. If you don't have anything to add, please gtfo with your random quotes.
Yes, the quotes are nice and inspiring and all but I see you everywhere with similar quotes😂 Don't just copy and paste the quotes everywhere, they don't bring much value to people (I've been there and done that myself😂)
WOW WOW WOW!!!! I had no idea. This is a life changing video for me. Thank you so very much for the truth. I just threw my THE SECRET book in the trash. Thank you again.
Do you want to tell me that video of this boy is mainly about educational breakthrough? :-) If it was he would just grab a mic and talk. Why does he need so much editing and music and the whole movie theater if he is mainly about rational education? Why does he need the BIG CAP LETTER TITLE A DISTURBING/DARK TRUTH when than he says that this is only his opinion? :-) That's his marketing moves to keep all of you guys on his channel.
@@gojakla12 The Movie the Secret was a sudden launch pad for dozens of new age internet gurus who never successfully reached an audience. After the Movie the Secret they all fell over each other getting into the bigger market access that the Movie had created. Just Google how the Movie the Secret was only a Marketing Breakthrough but never a Spiritual Breakthrough.
@@gojakla12 Yes, but he said at the outset that he has no problem with making money. He is not being hypocritical, at all. And of course he wants to and is making money here at UA-cam by attracting and keeping guys watching his great content. But I am watching because it is really good content. People quite often need to be entertained while being educated to keep their very short attention span. Grabbing a mic and just talking is not easy to do and neither is making this video.
The problem is it isn't about spirituality at all! It's a about materialism through and through. Spirituality is about caring for all people (oneself included). This is about caring for one person. Numero uno!
Using devices that pray on people in a vulnerable state, passing off theories & personal falsified anecdotes as truths & laws. It’s a hard truth no one wants to look at & props to you for being willing to do a deep dive into a very uncomfortable truth.

I needed to completely release this thought system. I ended up feeling defeated and beat myself up and felt bad. I woke up and realized that even if I didn't have all the answers I thought I wanted, I didn't believe Esther and Jerry Hicks had them either. I can't bear to listen to most of the people who tout these ideas now. Thank you for making this video and sharing it.
That Esther Abraham lady is wicked. Who in their right mind wants to be attacked, beaten or worse why does she think it’s OK to tell people when bad things happen to them it’s their fault?
Bob Proctor is as old as they get, and somehow he's managed to go barely unnoticed, until now. The new age only copy the likes of him. He must be stopped, to break the cycle.
Cant stress more on “what an eye opener it was” when you said that vulnerability makes us loose our critical thinking... Well done .. You have a long way to go...
Your videos are eye-opening and also a bit scary as it tells people to be more mindful of who they listen to and to the origins of the knowledge that they consume in today's world. Everyone should have the essential ability to question and not blindly follow any advice. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for doing this video. I worked for a person who was an amazing therapist but was very much involved in these coaching programs. A colleague who worked with me took me to one of these new thought events. I was also at a very emotional vulnerable place at the time. These group (large group awareness trainings) are insidious! I spent a weekend in a hotel conference room with no natural light with people I didn't know. We were guided through intense exercises designed to work us up, make us more vulnerable and instill this communal bond with each other. By the end of the third day, the final exercise had all of us, including myself in tears. Then came the sales pitch. "You want to continue to do this good work? Don't you? Don't let your money issues (read thought blocks) be an obstacle. Go talk to so so (who had some Pali or Sanskrit name when they were clearly Bob or Mary or Joe or Sue)." I was pissed and so turned off after that experience. It is incredibly culty and my have an automatic adverse reaction to it because many of my family members have been swept up into this B.S. for decades. Spiritualism, Scientology, Rosicrucianism, Jehovah Witness, Eckankar. I've come to reject it in adulthood because it is abusive gaslighting profiteering rackets.
The problem is that a lot of the people that fall for these quacks DO listen to their internal guide [whatever the hell that means], the problem is that both them and their internal guides are too goddam stupid.
Your content resonates on a high frequency! Jokes aside, your documentaries are fantastic, and your overall message behind them is of great spirit. Thank you for the quality of content that you provide.
I have just stumbled on your Bitcoin Documentary when I was learning about Bitcoins. I have always been suspicious about them anyway. And it was so polished, well-searched and professionally done. I am always wary of random person making their own "documentary". Whenever I see a documentary made by just a youtuber, just their name, I just am suspicious already. I always just watch PBS, DW Documentary etc. I asked, who is this James Jani?! And went on to browse your videos. I just want to tell you that you are a truly truly intellectual and kind person for doing all this amazing docmentaries to save people, enlightening them with your properly researched well-made documentaries. Everything you said here is so accurate. Thank you so much for being another angel in UA-cam community, I'd rather give my views to you, support you and hope you earn the reward that you deserve by opening so many people's eyes to massive scams disguising as instant-rich, feel good promises. What do we need too much money for? I dont understand these evil-minded people. I salute you and hope you remain humble and earn fair for all the goodness that you deserve for helping people be informed.
Mate….this is the one of the most important documentaries I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe how good this is. A few months ago I was all in on “The Secret”. Watching this I’m literally speechless.
@@golightly5121 Witchcraft and quackery, though at the very least, in it's earliest implementations and conceptions, witchcraft was at least often sincere and had some little bit of real trial and error. If anything, I'd describe this stuff as the ultimate distillation of all of the duplicitous and manipulative tactics used by charlatans throughout history and perfected and industrialized.
@@mattjk5299 :Agree, witchcraft teaches that a person, with their will, or with some spiritual force, can have a desired outcome. I suppose The Secret is not teaching to contact some external force for gain, I have never read the book or listened to it. Witchcraft might be me overstating it. I do know that New Age teaching often encourages contacting spirits for different outcomes, that is not safe advice.
@@golightly5121 i wouldn't exactly argue that witchcraft or occultism is literally real, or that there aren't people out there who are using it as a gift of some kind, but I can understand it for what it is, and that the law of attraction stuff is probably more widespread and a prime choice for charlatans. I suppose what I meant is that spiritual beliefs and magics in general, while they have a long history of being used for scams, have mostly sincere roots in old tradition, culture and attempts to understand the world, metaphysical or physical. Of course, we have the information to look at a lot of this stuff and note it's flaws and suspicious aspects, so people absolutely should take heed of that. I'm more or less a materialist in the philosophical sense, but that doesn't mean metaphysical primacy is "stupid" or any similar sentiment.
Well as an video editor and producer i notice that very very well and i still dont get it how can some1 be good @afterfx, premiere, seamless transitions, soundesign...its a pure art of storytelling, if u find out who is behind this please let me know❤
My only statement is: if you’re looking for someone to guide you to success, you are already setting yourself up for failure. The journey is figuring it out yourself and learning as you go. Not someone telling you what to do.
@@businesskurserse Stupidity framed as “Success Values”. Failure is the best teacher. How can you master your own mind when you are relying on someone to take the journey for you. Of course, tips and suggestions from professionals are a part of that journey but if you are a builder, you wouldn’t want another man building for you. If you are a doctor, you wouldn’t want another man taking your tests/doing your surgeries. You learn by action, not by sitting back and watching/listening. I can tell your UA-cam name and profile pic is just fodder for a man with a limited mindset.
@@businesskurserseHmm. The comment is not about not getting support, knowledge, a team or teachers / coaches…. It is about not doggedly following a step by step program that someone else has made to get to someone else’s goals. We each need to figure out what is truly success for us - and learning as you go. (As per the comment.)
Well done. The "Your fault" trick is everywhere in the spiritual or esoteric world today. And its so clever, because there are always sensitive hearts who fall for it...
@@lastflowers2401 I hope you're not coming at this as a true "law of attraction" disciple. If so, we just need to send law of attraction missionaries over there to teach those kids to think about chicken nuggets and fries and all that good healthy stuff. That was they can put a McDonalds in over there, helping to fulfill the law of attraction prophecy.
Love this comment. Facts and truth don't care about your emotions or feelings, we should use truth as a universal stand point instead of cults and religions society would be better with no doubt
It's truly sad, though, that they got that lady to say she healed herself from breast cancer--only for her to die from breast cancer. Makes me wonder if she refused medical treatment, believing she was healed or able to heal herself. So sad.
Katrina; Cancer has a industry that generates money, there are effective natural treatments that have more likelihood of 'prolonging your life (not curing your cancer). It all depends on the type of cancer as well.
@@postcodeox278 it really sucks though that they care more about the money than saving lives. If I recall correctly, there was this guy who discovered a cure to something and patented it but he wouldn't sell it instead he made it free since he wanted everyone to have access to the cure. But then once the patent expired companies got their hands on the patent and basically have turned it into a monopoly. In addition, all the companies at the top of the monopoly help each other so that they can all benefit. While we common folks all have to pay their high amounts for that cure.
@@postcodeox278 I never said that she shouldn't have sought natural treatment, as I believe there are doctors who employ those as well. My point is that any treatment is better than attempting to simply will one's self healed through the power of the mind, which is what it seems she was suggesting through her own testimony.

To all New age thoughts, self help books authors, I am grateful to them, since following their teaching and help I was lift from a deep depression. Thank you.

The following quote is inspired by Wayne Dyer, may his soul be in a good place: “It’s not only about what we want, it’s more about finding out who we are”
@@Dani00071000 it's been 6 years? Wow.. I have a favorite quote from him(heard it 1st in a documentary made by him, mostly happening on a beachside) - "When you change the way you look at things, things you look at change."
Great video, and right on target. I was deeply involved in the new age world for twenty years, and I feel that much of my need to believe these things were the result of unresolved childhood trauma and wanting things to magically be better and even easy. This stuff is so seductive to the spiritual bypassing set...happy I pulled out of that and finally became a more critical thinker and learned to face my pain and the complex and hard truths about life. Wish I had been able to do it sooner.
That's the spot that many of this people use. They know that people have voids in their life and use the correct words to make you think that their teachings will be the the solution to make you a full and complete person, and this not only apply with spirituality but with the "money gurus"
He is forgetting one thing..some people believe in karma...and as an example the people who are born in poverty and starve their whole life is a result of their actions in previous lifes..theyve build it themselves..how can you explain it otherwise..why would nature or god let innocent people suffer and others born in riches lead a wonderful live? My logic is that the law of attraction works in a way for certain people and people who have been born in bad circumstances is more the result of bad karma
I am replying to the karma question and explaining why karma most likely does not work. 1. Lessons from punishment are learned when people know what they are punished for and not when they have have no recollection of their past deeds. 2. Among rich and fortunate people, there are so many really bad characters, skunks. If reincarnation really happens, it is logical to assume that the character traits of an reincarnated person are preserved from one reincarnation to another. Otherwise, it would not be called reincarnation (bringng the same human entity into another round of life). Hence, a person, who is bad in this life, was also bad in his/her previous lives and did bad things as the person's character dictated. Yet, in this round of life, they are still nasty, but not punished by karma for being nasty in their previous lives and living in wealth. This indicates no karma. Think of German Nazis, who tortured and killed thousands of people, looted money, escaped from Europe, moved to America and lived long and enjoyable lives after that. What kind of karma lets such monsters live decades of their lives in luxury after they committed those crimes? No karma. Karma is comforting belief of weak people, who are not strong enough to stand up against bad guys.
I guess all the starving children I’m third world countries should just be taught to think fat thoughts. These grifters have always infuriated me - thank you for this video.

Thank you for the video! I am a survivor, having a parent who believed in the law of attraction to a toxic and unhealthy degree… Layers and layers of victim blaming over the years. Your video is now a part of my healing journey. I think you did a great job on the visuals and editing… Was really easy to follow along. Thank you!
Same here. My mom fell victim to that belief and passed it on to me. I was discouraged from developing my own interests as a child because the things I was drawn to had 'low vibrations' and I was 'hurting myself' by having them in my life. I had intrusive thoughts and felt negative emotions from time to time, like any human does, which made me feel guilty for bringing misfortune on myself and people around me, which in turn created more and more intrusive thoughts and negative emotions.
@@PercivalSproutI'm so sorry, I hope you have peace now.

@@joedennehy386why do you care if someone has an opinion or not
Thank you so much. The concept of LOA took over my life for the last several years in a very toxic way, especially when the world at large is constantly parroting these ideas both online and IRL. I blamed myself for everything bad that had ever happened to me, even when I knew it wasn’t logical. I feel so freed after watching this. It’s so dangerous and harmful, these facts are so important for everyone to know.
The teachings of "we are gods" and "we are worms," although looking like opposites, result in the same cruel damage to those who believe.
If you're NEVER allowed to just accept both the glory and the absurdity of being human, it will lead to a dark place. Stoicism, determinism, Calvinism etc. lead to the "we are worms" conclusion -- so anything bad that happens to you is your fault, even if you are unable to change it. A little bit insane and unhinged.
But the opposite, "we are gods," ALSO means that anything bad that happens to you is your fault, because you didn't "believe" enough or have strong enough ability to prevent it.
Both of those views completely strip us if our humanity. There's no mercy, no compassion -- just blind, brute worship of "principle" even in the face of self-mutilation.
Letting go of that lust for "certainty" is paradoxically the only path to emotional security.

It's a bit like modern day chrisianity
@@cookiehale1445Right. New Thought Spirituality is saturated in the modern church. They have kicked Jesus Christ out and now trust in themSELVES.😮
I've read The Secret. Honestly, my takeaway is that positive thinking can help motivate you when you feel shitty, but you have to do the actual work to achieve actual stuff. If you're sick, go to the doctor, if you want money, you have to work at something.
A perfect life will not just fall into your lap because you think happy thoughts.
many people think that the law of attraction just places whatever you want into your hands the following week after thinking about it the week prior. i think maybe the law of attraction just opens your mind to more possibilities, leading you to believe that you manifested opportunities. people forget that there has to be actions taken to get where/what/who you want
I agree, I also believe that if you do the work and you are heading to your dream job or whatever because your done the work to get there and you keep saying “it will never happen” you are right, it will never happen because you are self sabotaging.
Go to the doctor. Bah. Let's hope they don't kill you first. Doctor's don't know shit anymore and are pill pushers. But LOA is a scam too. You have to become your own doctor. Ayurveda is pretty good. But we do need meat. If you have an illness, don't give up searching until it's solved.
@@StephSkyy Absolutely. Positive and encouraging words can help pick a person up when feeling discouraged trying to achieve a goal.
@@Sarahizahhsum funny you should say that, because I have an illness that has me going from one doctor to another to get answers/relief, and I can understand your frustrations with the medical establishment.

My impression is that many New Age students disengage from Reality, become passive and ironically extremely compliant with Authoritarian directives because It’s more comfortable to not assume personal responsibility. A Course in Miracles friend told me that he believed nothing is real ... he later tragically ended his own life.
Oooof. A real danger. Plz dont do this anyone 😮
My siblings are extremely greedy, want to be multimillionaires with not having to work. They believe in these Gurus and Law of attraction. My sister has been on several Esther Hicks cruises. Both of my siblings started to do evil things. They ruined my reputation with terrible lies and think it’s funny. They stole laptops, jewelry and my gold and silver coins. Then they stole my part of the inheritance I got from my dad. They both say, they didn’t do anything wrong and that it’s my bad luck that they stole from me.
That is truly tragic and very sad. I’ve heard of several people going absolutely broke following Esther Hicks, Sri A and Bob Proctor. These guru grifters are all about suspending common sense, disregarding critical thought and avoiding reality using comforting words and watered down spirituality as bait. I totally resent the way they belittle people who work jobs.
A COURSE IN MIRACLES IS DEMONIC, I KNOW THAT FOR A FACT.
@@MissRed92837 The same thing happened to me. I reported the Public Trustee for PERJURY. Ever since then, I have been under attack from the EVIL MASONS. This is a big county town.

I only know because all the neighbours ran up to tell me when I got home. The real estate has tried to ILLEGALLY evict me 3 times. THREE COPS showed up at my house when they KNOW I am living alone, they would not tell me why they were here. THEY WANTED TO COME INTO MY HOUE. I SAID "'NOT WITHOUT A WARRANT" But I don't care. I did NOTHING to ANYONE. I had a MORAL obligation to report a CROOKED PUBLIC OFFICIAL. I stand firm ALONE against a small army.

I am diagnosed with OCD, so thoughts can easily become “negative” and can stay at the front of my mind for hours on end. When I first started suffering from this, I was a believer that thoughts have some special meaning, and that belief amplified my OCD. Therapy has taught me that thoughts don’t have meaning unless you give them meaning. Everyone thinks “immorally” at times, but behavior is what makes the difference. This video is liberating!
I can relate to that
I have ocd too.
Sometimes I get anxiety what thoughts changes to reality the negative one.
Obvi I want positive one too come in reality but not negative one.
Good comment.
I haven't been diagnosed but i experimented the same thing. At one short period of time i really believed that the thoughts had a real impact on the world as i dwelved into the law of attraction. It was great as i was looking for a job and started the position. But as i did not need it anymore, i saw how guilt inducing it was. And I learned about cognitive bias, magical thought found in psychosis
Thanks for this comment!
Listen, take it from me, I was depressed, suicidal, and gave up on my life 7 years ago, I decided with willpower to change my way of perception and the story I was telling myself. The thoughts that were in my mind were negative, I was broke, didn't see any way out, taking care of a sick parent, felt stuck in life, and my thoughts were down right draining the life out of me. A sudden shift happened within myself, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and I took accountability for everything in my life then let go of fear and guilt. I started believing in myself more, and things I wanted would happen, I put in the effort for them though. Things don't just magically happen for you, you must seek them out with intention, willpower and action. Positive thinking helps a lot though, to see the bright side of a horrible situation might change the way you see everything in life. Now I look for opportunity In every situation (good or bad). Final thoughts...A true "Guru" won't charge you money to teach you something that is priceless. There are too many scammers out there so be careful!
I love ❤️ your amAZing story. Shift in perception and right action!!!!! Namaste 🙏
Craig ... i think the law of attraction has been water down ... the reality is , it works BUT you must put a lot of effort and be mindful. ... you cannot be in the desert and expect a ferrari
i came from the most poor village in Africa ... holding a positive mind and believing helps to give you hope ... thats all what i had m, hope for a positive live and guess what i did it .
I am now a network cloud engineer married to a beautiful european woman with 2 kids and if i look back i don't see what really happened than hope and positive mind i hold all my life
I am not defending the Secret but i am telling you nothing in your life is for nothing , when you feel low , broke , suicidal etc... there is a lesson to learn.
Believe me lad, you have clearly never had to face real problems in life.
I've been there myself; I felt lonely, my glass empty, nothing to see, no-one to talk to, then, I realized that it was four o'clock and happy hour wouldn't start for another half-hour. That moment taught me patience.
My life has been changed through doing some of these new age practices along with Ritual Magick. I'm with you because you can't just do the internal work, it takes external effort. Almost everything I've learned has cost me nothing. I don't pay for workshops or seminars, and occasionally I will buy and audiobook or regular book to learn some deeper things. Even science is starting to suggest that reality is just a simulation and that our mind is what creates everything we see. We can all benefit from the help of psychotherapy and belief in ourselves. Again though I also believe that you still need to do the external work to give the internal a path of least resistance to work through. For example my partner and I did a ritual to manifest a new job for me that I would be happy at and be working for someone who was a good leader. I had already put in applications at that point and got a call the next day from a job an interview that lasted 5 min because it was a formality and started the following Monday. My manager is exactly the type of person I wanted to work for because he is a good leader and isn't going to stay in the same place forever, he is moving forward and is already putting in extra time to make sure I'm better at my job. Do I think I could of got the job either way, sure, do i think getting called the day after the ritual was a direct result of us doing that? Maybe or maybe not all I know is it put my head in the space to go after what I wanted. I just got lucky the first call I got was exactly what I wanted.

When I was making $40,000 a month, I'd never once touched a self-help book. When I abruptly lost everything, I buried myself in these books searching for any solution to my financial problems. Likewise, I've never been more religious as when I was diagnosed with cancer. When we're most vulnerable, we're most at risk to falling prey to magical thinking.
I agree. That's when I was vulnerable also. I was dealing with abuse at work and wanted to get away from the environment. I was desperate and I started buying the books. I thinks it's amazing that you did good for your self financially without the self-help books. I hope your health has improved. It hurts my heart when people are foing through a tough time in life and are vulnerable but try to be positive and take positive action but still fail and people will shame you for feeling depressed about it.

Totally agree!
Thats so accurate!!!

Facts
the production quality is something else....
Thanks for creating this. When The Secret came out, some of my best friends embraced it. We argued passionately with me questioning its absurdity and my friends defending it. One gay friend argued that as he'd learned from The Secret that the reason we are assaulted physically and verbally by bigots is because we expect to be. He went on that he got on a bus one day, where he's used to being called the F word and no one said anything bad to him because he forced his mind not to expect it. Notwithstanding the fact that as children, we never expect to be called these things or assaulted but we LEARN to expect them over a lifetime of such abuses, this movie taught my friend that being abused was his fault and that he could avoid being abused by basically burying his head in the sand. The Secret preys on people's need for control over things they can't control and misleads its audience into thinking they can't alter their lives with expectations. One of The Secret gurus caused the grizzly deaths of 2 high-paying followers in a fake Sweat Lodge where the group participants were all scalded by steam which he forced them to endure by concentrating, to the fatal detriment of his followers. Another of The Secret gurus was an admitted ex-convict. Con! The worst party to this crime, in my opinion, is Oprah Winfrey. She's a smart woman and has made herself very successful by her own efforts following effective thinking, not wishful thinking. Yet, she deliberately promotes these lies and these liars almost as a sort of class warfare tactic where billionaires seem to realize the best way to stay super-wealthy is to 'throw out oil slicks on the race track' of success, fooling people into wasting their time and not acting rationally to achieve. And many people eat it up. A second friend was poor, as we all were, and The Secret really appealed to her so much that it literally hurt and offended her need to believe it such that she became angry with and resentful of me for criticizing the ludicrous structure of the il-logic of the Law of Attraction. I call it the Law of DISTRACTION.

Omg I just remembered one teacher in middle school preaching all these stuff, she also told me that my aura was dark so it would have attracted bad stuff. I was like 13 and that was the moment I realized not all adults were intelligent
That’s child abuse! She should be struck off & never allowed around children or adolescents again. 13 is an incredibly vulnerable age. Thank goodness you had enough sense and self-esteem to see her BS for what it was, but someone not as strong as you could be absolutely broken by that statement.
@@layaclode6363 I mean yeah but she acted like she was some sort of crystal energy shaman, she wasn't evil or anything she was just a little brainwashed
Still, if she had the most basic of training in the esoteric (or psychological) sciences, she would have known to never EVER say anything like that.
In my humble opinion, she was projecting HER darkness on to you. Never okay! Good on you for rejecting her vile authoritanism.
@@layaclode6363 Agreed, a hurt, lost person harming another without realizing it. Luckily Auro didn’t believe her but I bet some did…. I feel for them and am glad you just thought she was dumb. FYI most times we think someone is dumb its something like brainwashing or the seeing things like the dress as a different color because we are all a little different in some ways, the same in others. I hope she learned to stop saying that to kids or stops working with them if she cant grow beyond that…..
lol That part! "All Adults are NOT smart." People can be so mean. I am sorry that happened to you.
Thank you, I needed this. I'm somewhat involved with this stuff - and while it mostly just brings positive thinking and hope into my life, for a while it did cause me to wait around for good things to happen to me instead of putting in the work. I quit my job to build a business, a decision I still stand by, but at my core I believed things would just fall into place for me because I wanted it enough. I'm obviously young and naive and learning, and have since started putting in the work and doing the scary things. But in my low moments, I'll still reach for my tarot deck to try and extract some hope - I think I can excuse myself that weakness :)
*Greatness is built when nobody else is watching.*

This guy's editing skills are insane.
The Movie the Secret was never a spiritual breakthrough, it was a marketing breakthrough
well put
Do you want to tell me that video of this boy is mainly about educational breakthrough? :-) If it was he would just grab a mic and talk. Why does he need so much editing and music and the whole movie theater if he is mainly about rational education? Why does he need the BIG CAP LETTER TITLE A DISTURBING/DARK TRUTH when than he says that this is only his opinion? :-)
That's his marketing moves to keep all of you guys on his channel.
@@gojakla12 The Movie the Secret was a sudden launch pad for dozens of new age internet gurus who never successfully reached an audience. After the Movie the Secret they all fell over each other getting into the bigger market access that the Movie had created. Just Google how the Movie the Secret was only a Marketing Breakthrough but never a Spiritual Breakthrough.
@@gojakla12 Yes, but he said at the outset that he has no problem with making money. He is not being hypocritical, at all. And of course he wants to and is making money here at UA-cam by attracting and keeping guys watching his great content. But I am watching because it is really good content. People quite often need to be entertained while being educated to keep their very short attention span. Grabbing a mic and just talking is not easy to do and neither is making this video.
The problem is it isn't about spirituality at all! It's a about materialism through and through. Spirituality is about caring for all people (oneself included). This is about caring for one person. Numero uno!
Using devices that pray on people in a vulnerable state, passing off theories & personal falsified anecdotes as truths & laws. It’s a hard truth no one wants to look at & props to you for being willing to do a deep dive into a very uncomfortable truth.
so why people dont like this then?

I woke up and realized that even if I didn't have all the answers I thought I wanted, I didn't believe Esther and Jerry Hicks had them either.

times. Well Done
Cant stress more on “what an eye opener it was” when you said that vulnerability makes us loose our critical thinking... Well done .. You have a long way to go...
Hell of a quote right!
Your videos are eye-opening and also a bit scary as it tells people to be more mindful of who they listen to and to the origins of the knowledge that they consume in today's world. Everyone should have the essential ability to question and not blindly follow any advice. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for doing this video. I worked for a person who was an amazing therapist but was very much involved in these coaching programs. A colleague who worked with me took me to one of these new thought events. I was also at a very emotional vulnerable place at the time. These group (large group awareness trainings) are insidious! I spent a weekend in a hotel conference room with no natural light with people I didn't know. We were guided through intense exercises designed to work us up, make us more vulnerable and instill this communal bond with each other. By the end of the third day, the final exercise had all of us, including myself in tears. Then came the sales pitch. "You want to continue to do this good work? Don't you? Don't let your money issues (read thought blocks) be an obstacle. Go talk to so so (who had some Pali or Sanskrit name when they were clearly Bob or Mary or Joe or Sue)." I was pissed and so turned off after that experience. It is incredibly culty and my have an automatic adverse reaction to it because many of my family members have been swept up into this B.S. for decades. Spiritualism, Scientology, Rosicrucianism, Jehovah Witness, Eckankar. I've come to reject it in adulthood because it is abusive gaslighting profiteering rackets.

I have just stumbled on your Bitcoin Documentary when I was learning about Bitcoins. I have always been suspicious about them anyway. And it was so polished, well-searched and professionally done. I am always wary of random person making their own "documentary". Whenever I see a documentary made by just a youtuber, just their name, I just am suspicious already. I always just watch PBS, DW Documentary etc. I asked, who is this James Jani?! And went on to browse your videos. I just want to tell you that you are a truly truly intellectual and kind person for doing all this amazing docmentaries to save people, enlightening them with your properly researched well-made documentaries. Everything you said here is so accurate. Thank you so much for being another angel in UA-cam community, I'd rather give my views to you, support you and hope you earn the reward that you deserve by opening so many people's eyes to massive scams disguising as instant-rich, feel good promises. What do we need too much money for? I dont understand these evil-minded people. I salute you and hope you remain humble and earn fair for all the goodness that you deserve for helping people be informed.
Mate….this is the one of the most important documentaries I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe how good this is. A few months ago I was all in on “The Secret”. Watching this I’m literally speechless.
The Secret is just repackaged witchcraft.
@@golightly5121 Witchcraft and quackery, though at the very least, in it's earliest implementations and conceptions, witchcraft was at least often sincere and had some little bit of real trial and error.
If anything, I'd describe this stuff as the ultimate distillation of all of the duplicitous and manipulative tactics used by charlatans throughout history and perfected and industrialized.
@@mattjk5299 :Agree, witchcraft teaches that a person, with their will, or with some spiritual force, can have a desired outcome. I suppose The Secret is not teaching to contact some external force for gain, I have never read the book or listened to it. Witchcraft might be me overstating it. I do know that New Age teaching often encourages contacting spirits for different outcomes, that is not safe advice.
@@golightly5121 i wouldn't exactly argue that witchcraft or occultism is literally real, or that there aren't people out there who are using it as a gift of some kind, but I can understand it for what it is, and that the law of attraction stuff is probably more widespread and a prime choice for charlatans.
I suppose what I meant is that spiritual beliefs and magics in general, while they have a long history of being used for scams, have mostly sincere roots in old tradition, culture and attempts to understand the world, metaphysical or physical.
Of course, we have the information to look at a lot of this stuff and note it's flaws and suspicious aspects, so people absolutely should take heed of that. I'm more or less a materialist in the philosophical sense, but that doesn't mean metaphysical primacy is "stupid" or any similar sentiment.
Same bro I realised it ages ago that the the secret stuff is nonsense

My only statement is: if you’re looking for someone to guide you to success, you are already setting yourself up for failure. The journey is figuring it out yourself and learning as you go. Not someone telling you what to do.
@@businesskurserse Stupidity framed as “Success Values”. Failure is the best teacher. How can you master your own mind when you are relying on someone to take the journey for you. Of course, tips and suggestions from professionals are a part of that journey but if you are a builder, you wouldn’t want another man building for you. If you are a doctor, you wouldn’t want another man taking your tests/doing your surgeries. You learn by action, not by sitting back and watching/listening. I can tell your UA-cam name and profile pic is just fodder for a man with a limited mindset.
@@businesskurserseHmm. The comment is not about not getting support, knowledge, a team or teachers / coaches….

@@postcodeox278 it really sucks though that they care more about the money than saving lives. If I recall correctly, there was this guy who discovered a cure to something and patented it but he wouldn't sell it instead he made it free since he wanted everyone to have access to the cure. But then once the patent expired companies got their hands on the patent and basically have turned it into a monopoly. In addition, all the companies at the top of the monopoly help each other so that they can all benefit. While we common folks all have to pay their high amounts for that cure.
@@postcodeox278 I never said that she shouldn't have sought natural treatment, as I believe there are doctors who employ those as well.

Thanks for this incredibly produced video, James. Always important to be wary of easy answers to difficult questions.
Great video, and right on target. I was deeply involved in the new age world for twenty years, and I feel that much of my need to believe these things were the result of unresolved childhood trauma and wanting things to magically be better and even easy. This stuff is so seductive to the spiritual bypassing set...happy I pulled out of that and finally became a more critical thinker and learned to face my pain and the complex and hard truths about life. Wish I had been able to do it sooner.
Well said
Spot on!
That's the spot that many of this people use. They know that people have voids in their life and use the correct words to make you think that their teachings will be the the solution to make you a full and complete person, and this not only apply with spirituality but with the "money gurus"

I used to believe those shits
Now I'm just working hard and improving myself
@Sanjida - I was the same too :) Glad my eyes were opened
believe nothing question everything
He is forgetting one thing..some people believe in karma...and as an example the people who are born in poverty and starve their whole life is a result of their actions in previous lifes..theyve build it themselves..how can you explain it otherwise..why would nature or god let innocent people suffer and others born in riches lead a wonderful live?
My logic is that the law of attraction works in a way for certain people and people who have been born in bad circumstances is more the result of bad karma
I am replying to the karma question and explaining why karma most likely does not work. 1. Lessons from punishment are learned when people know what they are punished for and not when they have have no recollection of their past deeds. 2. Among rich and fortunate people, there are so many really bad characters, skunks. If reincarnation really happens, it is logical to assume that the character traits of an reincarnated person are preserved from one reincarnation to another. Otherwise, it would not be called reincarnation (bringng the same human entity into another round of life). Hence, a person, who is bad in this life, was also bad in his/her previous lives and did bad things as the person's character dictated. Yet, in this round of life, they are still nasty, but not punished by karma for being nasty in their previous lives and living in wealth. This indicates no karma. Think of German Nazis, who tortured and killed thousands of people, looted money, escaped from Europe, moved to America and lived long and enjoyable lives after that. What kind of karma lets such monsters live decades of their lives in luxury after they committed those crimes? No karma. Karma is comforting belief of weak people, who are not strong enough to stand up against bad guys.
