After this last study day with my friends in the faith, I find that these programs seem to be right in sync with God's word, particularly the law of attraction. It's all right there in the Bible, if you know what to look for. I'm not talking about twisting God's word to fit what I want to believe, but the actual walk of the sinner to complete conversion. It's all about character development, allowing God's character to become imbued upon our own so much that when we think thoughts in our every day life, we are but thinking His thoughts. It's a walk of continually bringing self into submission to God, the "Higher Power", the "universe", etc., the Creator, and that's essentially what ESM and the paraliminals seek to help one with. I am so excited (and relieved!) to have this verified in God's word! God is so good!
