Everything you really need to know about life is contained within the Ring cycle.

Hmmm... nice call as always Paikea...!

You sent me straight to Wikipedia where there is a great article on the Ring Cycle... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ring_Cycle )... Thanks...

I recommend reading about what real scientists think of that particular film.

Would that be the real scientists featured in the film or some others of your choice?

[WGfg4CCZ]

The Secret, isn't.
I have read the book, (it's available for free on the Net)
and it's nothing but Hocus-Pocus Mumbo-Jumbo new-age-feel-good Horse-Apples.

It's a scam, in other words. Complete nonsense.

if you ask me, here's:
Kenzan's "Secret" to happiness:blah blah blah...

Not sure how a freely available eBook can be a scam? Who would stand to benefit from this 'scam'? Certainly not you it would appear...

Rather than list all the names I've come across in various articles on the movie,
This review pretty much sums it up.

Sorry, but that movie is just nothing more than New-Age Flatulence.

Just because it's free or worded well doesn't mean it's legitimate.
Just look at Phil Elmore.

By the way, you owe me 2 chicken Pot-Pies for my advice.

That's the currency of the future!
Stock up now!

Wagner's or Tolkien's...?

[WelcomeMe]

Some good old-fashioned common sense.

Off-topic but were you the Obukan guy who visited NW Kendo the other week?

[VewCoorkPow]

Wagner. Tolkien was a hack.

My younger son is named Tristan, poor devil.

Interesting review from someone who hasn't seen the film... any other films you haven't seen that you don't approve of?

...and my point was that for something to be a 'scam' then someone has to benefit... not sure who you think benefits from the distribution of a free eBook...

... and fresh out of pot-pies...

I don't need to join the Ramtha Cult to know that it contains enough value to encompass a cow-flop either.

Snip:
Upon further investigation I find the films’ producers, writers, directors, and a number of the featured “experts” are members of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. The film is a propaganda piece for a cult.

I did a little digging on Ramtha:

Ramtha is a 35,000 year-old spirit-warrior who appeared in J.Z. Knight’s kitchen in Tacoma, Washington in 1977. Knight claims that she is Ramtha’s channel. She also owns the copyright to Ramtha and conducts sessions in which she pretends to go into a trance and speaks Hollywood’s version of Elizabethan English in a guttural, husky voice. She has thousands of followers and has made millions of dollars performing as Ramtha at seminars ($1,000 a crack) and at her Ramtha School of Enlightenment, and from the sales of tapes, books, and accessories (Clark and Gallo 1993). She must have hypnotic powers. Searching for self-fulfillment, otherwise normal people obey her command to spend hours blindfolded in a cold, muddy, doorless maze.

End Snip:

...and my point was that for something to be a 'scam' then someone has to benefit... not sure who you think benefits from the distribution of a free eBook...

I see it this way:
I give you a shot of the happy juice today: The first one's free....all I ask in return is that you tell aaaaall your friends about me, and where and who you got your bliss from.
Ain't nothing in this world for free.

Scam: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation

Fraud: a person who is not what he or she pretends to be : IMPOSTOR; also : one who defrauds : CHEAT b : one that is not what it seems or is represented to be.

... and fresh out of pot-pies...

That, my good man, is simply an egregious crime.

Nope; that was Chris Tilt. He had nothing but praise for the NW Kendo folks, by the way.

[GOLAGLULT]

*Manos, Hands of Fate.

Have you seen the MST-3K* version, by any chance?

He was great! Strong kendo, nice guy.
