I disagree. I've listened to some of his CD's which were loaned to me - it's just good common sense stuff that people can do, but usually don't even think of.

What is it about the people in California?
Remember the woman that channeled some ancient Indian guru named Ramtha or something like that? Used to fill auditoriums.

That’s part of what makes these guys con artists though. They charge hundreds even thousand of buck for their “seminars” and CDs and then fill them with false bravado and common sense. Neither of which people should be paying for.

Kind of chuckling. There’s a common sense component to walking on hot coals? Who knew?

A mob of people listen to a messianic speaker, walk on hot coals and get burned? Sounds like Obama voters.
