Like many others, I’m avidly following the case of James Arthur Ray. Whatever the courts find will have an impact on the billions of dollars currently being “earned” by the Law of Attraction gurus. Okay, so it might just make a tiny dent in the big picture. While I think the likes of Canfield, Robbins and Katie are avidly glued to their sets, I don’t think the typical student is even aware.

A lot of comments on my blog have been in reference to Byron Katie.
On the flip side, there’s been a resounding silence on the others, including Jack Canfield, James Arthur Ray, T. Harv Eker, and the “abundance” of Law of Attraction gurus out there. What’s up with that? Any ideas?

I just finished reading a fictional novel by Kathy Reichs, called Death du Jour. It’s a really well written mystery novel based on a character is a forensic Anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who divides her time between Montreal, Quebec, and Charlotte, North Carolina. (K. Reichs is also a forensic anthropologist, PhD, who divides her time between Montreal and Charlotte.)

CBC’s Marketplace (Canadian Television) just did a secret video recording of one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Get-Rich-in-ReaEstate seminars. The short version is this: Go to a two-hour free info seminar and get sold a three-day seminar for only $1,000 BUT if you sign up in the next two hours it’s only $500. At the three-day seminar event, from the get-go you are told that there’s is NO WAY that you can ever learn all real estate trade secrets, and that if you are really and truly committed to your wealth (and you’re a loser if your not) you can expect to spend anywhere from $12,000 to $45,000 in the Kiyosaki educational system. Then, still in day one, you are challenged (and remember only winners take quick and decisive action) to call your credit card company and increase your spending limit to $100,000. After all, it doesn’t cost anything to ask.
