Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Beyond Human Sweat Lodge event goes terribly wrong

I doubt anyone is truly pure. We are, after all, human, and are bound to make mistakes. I think what matters is that we always try to do the best we can, and with the best of intentions. And should we not expect the best actions and intentions from the people we are hoping to learn from?

Without doubt, James Ray is a complete moron for putting people in danger of their lives, but I am pretty sure that killing three people wasn't his intention. After all, where's the profit in it?

But with Marie Diamond, the intention is very different. From what I can see, she consciously and deliberately decided to keep money to which she was not entitled, in spite of it being legally, and what is far more important, morally wrong. I am willing to bet that the injured party did not immediately decide to go for a court case, and that they had tried on numerous occasions to retrieve their money, but to no avail. What sort of energy did that create, I wonder...?

We can all get things wrong, yes, but only someone with no sense of what is morally right or wrong would behave in this shameful way. Even more shameful, is the fact that Marie 'Diamond' creates product after product on the LOA and Universal Abundance, yet when there's money on the table she behaves like a crook! Surely, of all people, these 'gurus' should be setting an example, but in her I just see an example of how I never want to be! What sort of energy did she thing she was creating?

The video on Youtube of the Chasers and 'The Secret' that the late, great ZMNC introduced us to, is intended to be a a parody, but in Marie's case, it's embodies the proverbial true word spoken in jest.

The final segment where the two presenters are shoplifting and justifying it with the LOA is pure genius! Check out the disbelief on the Chinese lady's face when they are explaining their rationale for stealing her shirts! Oh, yes, and you get a bit of James Ray - the bit where the cat is being tortured with the Twisties packet. Hey, maybe the sweat lodge was just a cover story and when the truth really comes out, you'll find that he had a whole group of people sitting around with huge Twisties packets on their heads.

But with Marie, isn't that just want she was doing - not the Twisties stuff, I mean the taking stuff and keeping it even though it rightfully belongs to someone else.

Maybe Marie, in her vast wisdom of The Law Of Attraction thought that the Universe was giving her this money, and that, she was entitled to it. I'll bet her face was a picture when The Universe changed its mind and sued the arse off her!

This calls into question the efficacy of products these 'gurus' create. After all, if the LOA is true, then she must have attracted the law suit!

Think about it: If someone who is supposed to be an expert on Universal Abundance is so constricted financially and 'energetically', that she needs to 'steal' money, then what the hell is she doing claiming to teach people about it all? WAKE UP PEOPLE AND SMELL THE COFFEE!

Why she thought that she could just keep the money is beyond me! And what sort of image did she think it would create for her when it all came out?

Learning Strategies should cut her loose, but instead they are publishing more of her products - some New Age crap about hexagons is the new one. So, does this mean that money is more important than integrity here too? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. I already know the answer!

At the beginning of the year, when I returned to this forum, I wrote that I was sad to see that Learning Strategies had got so involved with the gurus from 'The Secret' - a tacky marketing exercise, enshrouded in bad energy right from the start. I wasn't wrong, was I? In fact, 'The Secret' is at the heart of all this Vyncke stuff, too.

And what's wrong with the name Vyncke? Oh yes, I forgot, it doesn't sell stuff quite as well as one's porn name. Silly me!
