You swallowed it. Right?

Guru crap is like spilt mercury, it makes little globules that roam around and are impossible to pick up.

As more people become available for the gurus to preach at, they have created enormously profitable rip-offs that have been promoted by every numbnut on the web.

  • Positive Thinking - remember that? This provided the instant put-down to anybody who did not agree with you . "You are so negative!" and yet nobody has ever been able to make a negative statement in the English language!
  • Think and Grow Rich - this book has taken on a biblical aspect and yet it is no more than a hyped up theory designed to tell the reader that he is doing it all wrong!
  • The Secret - what a brilliant concept! Let's tell everybody that the universe (must not invoke God) wants them to be wealthy and all they have to do is "Ask" and navel contemplate while the universe delivers.
  • How to Ask - a whole range of products released to gull the stupids who did contemplate their navels but got no results. They weren't "asking right" but this course/ebook will teach them how.
  • Give to Receive - another great theory that says to give stuff away is to guarantee reciprocal receipts. The internet is flooded with free stuff - so much free stuff, in fact, that the market for most IM products only persists because of the way the free stuff has been spun, re-titled, regurgitated and hyped to hell and gone.
  • I'm pissed off with gurus - this is the latest band waggon and everybody is climbing aboard with their $47 miracle software (that isn't) that you can get for less by not buying after watching the stultifyingly boring video that is repetitive to a degree that the inquisition would have appreciated and which, after 20-30 minutes tells you nothing about the product.
  • WSOs - another process by which stuff can be sold cheaply on the reputation of the WF - but that reputation will soon fade as the crap multiplies with the introduction of one click of the mouse WSO creators.

Be honest. As each of these major cons was promoted, you swallowed it, didn't you? People are still telling me that they made millions - and I can too.

Well, I probably could IF millions was important to me, IF my life was nothing but an empty shell requiring money to fill it and IF I was prepared to believe what my experience and common sense tells me is a crock of faeces.
