3.0 out of 5 starsI really liked a lot of what you teach

I really liked a lot of what you teach, it really resonates with me. But your mouth is awful! I believe you can be passionate without the foul language. My father told me many years ago foul language is the voice of an angry man. Are you really that angry? It may be because you are so young and still have a lot to learn regarding effective communication.

With that being said I believe you are on to something big and I would like to hear more (without the nasty language).

Betinho, you have great vision. Many would benefit from what you teach. Many more need to hear what you teach, but every time you drop the f word a little of your lesson is lost in translation. After all you could be a great teacher, just keep its out of the frat house!

If it were not for the foul language I would have given your book 5 stars! Hopefully you can get this book edited after all it is an E book or you can try to do a better job with the next book.

Believe me when I say you are on to something great! I still believe in you, I know you can do this without the nasty mouth!

Thank you,

Two Star review

2.0 out of 5 starsConfusing
ByAmazon Customeron January 7, 2017

Perhaps I'm not spiritually advanced enough for this book. I found it confusing. I also thought it was a little bizarre to focus on what YOU want so much. I prefer approaching life with an "empty rice bowl" mindset, or Zen mind. I like the idea of surrendering to God's preference rather than forcing my own. While I might be intelligent, I'm not omnipotent or omnipresent, and I won't pretend to know it all or to know what's best in every situation. Maybe I'll understand this book one day, but right now I don't

Do you get a notification if reviews are removed? I don't think I've had that problem yet.

I also had my 1 star review removed by Amazon that was deemed inappropriate............I've been reading New thought/Age books for a very long time and all I said was it was recycled Law of Attraction stuff.........I don't know what was inappropriate about that............I mentioned that it seemed a lot of the 5 star reviews were placed by his "devotees" and after watching the videos it seemed a bit cultish.

I've spent thousands of dollars here and am considering doing business elsewhere..........Amazon is becoming a bit too Big Brother.

I thought the same, but then he made his "academy"-writings totally free. Is this something someone would do who is driven by money? All I can tell is I never paid for anything but got a lot of good approaches to view things differently by him. The book isn't that expensive and nobody is forced to buy it to get "his" teaching, so I see no ground to judge it. Earning money itself isn't a bad thing. Hope your review comes back again though. Haven't read the book yet.

You are spot on! This is just another money grab by this kid. There's a pattern if you research his past. Somehow my review was removed so he obviously doesn't want the truth to come out. I'm working with Amazon to have my review reposted.

Here are some interesting items from the one star reviews.

Neville Goddard died in 1972.

I was expecting something wonderful and revolutionary given the amount of positive ratings this book has. Instead, I was horrified to find out how bad the book was after maybe 20 pages.

I don't disagree with the major concepts since it's all rehashed, particularly from Neville Goddard. I'm an avid follower of Goddard and I have read all his books. What the writer is proposing here and keeps warning us "maybe it's too radical" can be found in Goddard's works and also his contemporaries. What's terrible is that the he is a bad bad bad writer. He tries to explain and elaborate his limited knowledge of quantum theories throughout the whole book with cumbersome, repetitive, inarticulate language. I have a master in Philosophy and perhaps that is why I find it so hard to digest. When you're dealing with metaphysical matters, scientific theories, explanation of realities and you do so with writing like a high school student... (mixed with a few F words in between) you come off as unprofessional.

Thank you. I completely agree with your comment. Apparently, like others before him the masses just follows. There is a huge amount of people that follow because he gives them what they want to feel, without any common sense or any further explanation that allows a person to not only get that good feeling but also it is logical. Neville Goddard and others (Creation Formula) from the 1900 explained all this much better, were authentic, professional, and empowered people with knowledge. Question is if he is so super accelerate, then why does not share it all for free on his website?

Repeating all over Seth Hicks and Bashar ByMr 504on January 30, 2017 Format: Kindle Edition Another one using repeated teachings claiming it is it! Nothing is new, just good way to bring people into buying. How many ways can they all copy the same thing!
