I never read with him, but I would try to stay away from male psychics. They are worse then the women psychics. Men can be possibly empathic, and give advice, but not clairvoyant . I've read on this topic and several.... ..professio nals??? (for lack of a better word for them) said this, and it is always what I personally believed. JUST MY OPINION (i'm really tired of having to put a 'disclaimer' for everything i say, so can we all just respect everyone else's opinions without any backlash/personal attacks, please?)
@Kindred:
I will be your twin Downer - I've read the Secret, I watched the DVD, I have also read other books along the same lines - did the vision board, positive thinking, positive affirmation s. And good things DID happen, things I had on my vision board. Not all, but some. But also bad things happened. Part of the "Secret" is being able to 'let go', - not obsess over it. I was really actually able to do this for months at a time. Some things happened, some did not. But very bad things have happened when I actually was thinking positively, and never ever saw it coming, so...idk. But this discussion prompted me to pull out my vision board again. Now I just have to get into the 'believe it is already in my possession' mode. However, most of what I want are NOT material possessions . they are things about my family, how I would like them to be, what I would like to see happen with them (good, positive things, like success and happiness, so I don't know if it works via 'proxy' like that.)
Another is to not think about how what you want is going to come - just believe that it will, in fact, it says believe its already yours - already in your possession. You really have to BELIEVE it and have FAITH. This belief runs along the same lines as the Bible, Mark 11:23 thru 11:25.
Also, one part of the Secret that is left out - Karma. You have to forgive others, whether to them personally or in your heart, and be sincere - so, purity of heart, and to do no harm and wish no harm against anyone.
Hope this helps.
