Why is the battle for the mind so easy for people like Byron Katie or Tolle to win, and so incredibly difficult a battle for those on the honest side of the fence?

People hate ambiguity in life, shades of grey, thinking things out (complex and messy);they'd rather have someone "more evolved" figure things out for them. Read the latest new age book, go to the latest lecture, etc. etc. anything but struggling through it oneself.
I doubt there are easy answers for the most perplexing of problems, but think people follow the latest "one" to make life more palpatable.

She thinks she knows "God" and what "God" is, and just plays word games and mind games. Think of the outrageous arrogance of Byron Katie proclaiming in her book Losing The Moon, that the Nazi war criminals in their crimes against humanity, were doing the Work of her idea of "God". It literally is demented, to be as arrogant as Byron Katie is about those serious subjects.
It takes far more courage to admit to yourself you don't have the answers about certain complex things, or only a partial answer, or no answer yet or ever. To tolerate that level of uncertainy and ambiguity in certain areas of life.

It is simply ironic that people choose the path of least resistance when it comes to dealing with the realities and struggles in life, and will gravitate to a solution 1000x more ambiguous..like the solutions offered by a slickster like BK. It is maddening to watch, and more maddening to know the world remains a literal playground for anyone who chooses to make a living by exploiting the vulnerability of the average person, rich or poor.
Oh God, I remember that part now. That statement really jolted me. How sick to equate motivation with fear.Quote
I watched the video again, Byron Katie re Money, and wooo, I can totally see through her now. Thank goodness.
I just watched a minute or two of this. My favorite bile inducing quip from BK: "motivation is fear".
She expertly creates so much confusion in her interviewee/victim. Sigh.
