The guy was also a big part of the movie “The Secret”.
Quacks.
I practice self-identify throught ho'oponopono (sith) for almost 3 yeas now. This is an "updated version" of traditional ho'oponopono created by Morrnah Simeona, and it became popular with Dr. Hew Len with the help of Joe Vitale (a popular self-help book writer featured in "The Secret" movie). In essence, you take 100% responsibility for all problems that you experience. By taking responsibility, we can become free of them. All problems are nothing but memories stored in our subconscious. With ho'oponopono, we appeal to the divinity (god/universe) to transmute those stored memories into void, and then void becomes filled with love.
So if you have a problem with someone, by taking 100% responsibility, and by doing the cleaning processes, you and that person becomes "free".
I've studied a lot about modern ho'oponopono. I can see resemblances with other books and philosophies such as Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now books, A Course in Miracles, etc.
I suggests to watch these documentaries, The Secret and What The Bleep Do We Know.
Observer IS the creator. He shapes the reality on his own image and beliefs. It's not easy to grasp the whole concept, specially considering that everybody is projecting different realities and they have to be combined together, but to me this just confirms that the world is based on contradictions and if we are able to accept those contradictions we will understand more, but we will never understand everything. There is no single answer on any question, there is only an answer for that particular person and that's most far we can go.
My experience with "The Secret" involves attending a New Year's Party with my brother several years ago where we stayed up all night playing drums with a group of people. When the morning came, and we all got up to go home one guy said to us "I have this movie that you have to watch" and proceeded to lift up his shirt and remove from his pants a DVD.
We realized that he had to have been keeping this in his pants all night, and as my brother and I made our way to the car I told him "you realize that we have to see what that is the moment we get home".
Upon arrival back at my brother's apartment, we proceeded to watch the movie, and were mystified that someone had tried to compile an hour and half video around the idea of "positive thinking"; much less that someone had thought enough of it to carry it around in their pants to impart to strangers at a party.
This is by far the dumbest thing I've ever seen here.
I don't think I believe any of this, other than that he wants to make money off of the internet because everyone wants to make money off of the internet. For one, he claims to be writing a book, despite having an apparent 5th grade reading level. I hope he spent about $100k of that $2.5 million on a ghost writer before he lost it. Also I'd bet he's telling the truth about being a high school dropout.
For another, he claims to be running bemodel.com, but that site does nothing but display stock photos.
I also find it hard to believe that anyone who would point out "The Secret" (and not the book version either, but the movie based on it) as their inspiration could ever scale a website to enough traffic to make $100k+/mo. I'm skeptical he could even spell PHP let alone use it.
I have to say, it's VERY tempting for me to buy his ebook about making women chase me. That has to be a non-stop laugh riot.
