There was quite a bit about about Beckwith in that other thread on The Secret, a few people from his former churches posted?
Paste what is below into Google and see the different posts here about the Visionary Rev Dr Michael Beckwith.

If you are interested in Beckwith, then you could start a new thread about him, and cross-post and link to all the info on Beckwith, to put it in one place.
There was some early stuff about him asking for CARS as gifts, which was quickly removed from his website.
How bad is Beckwith? That remains to be seen. But he clearly is a slick-operator, looking out for #1.
He is selling a dangerous New Thought ideology, same as James Ray.
Beckwith is very slick, he toned down his "cancer" bullshit on Oprah.
Beckwith BS and unproven claims that his methods can "cure cancer" could easily lead to people's deaths, as they might not get treatment, and just try to THINK the cancer away.
Beckwith has claimed his process "dissolves cancer". He is a liar, obviously. That is, he has no proof of any of it, its hype, BS, salesmanship.
I recall he was asked to show the MEDICAL RECORDS of the cancer he "cured" with his methods.
Where's the proof? There is none, zero.
So start a new thread just on Beckwith if you want, in this forum about Cults, Sects, New Religious, and cross-link to him all the other details, and search the internet for more information on him. There would be all kinds of complaints against him, here and there.
Then post cross-links on other wesbites about Beckwith, and over time more information will come forward.
Beckwith is just a hype-master, a salesman, a self-promoter. He's raking in the money, just like James Ray, due to Oprah.
These New Thought preachers like Beckwith, mainly they are about money money money, dear lord they make a lot of money, as they tell people the more money they give Beckwith, the more money the universe will give them.
Its a license to make money.
New Thought has been a cash cow since the mid 1800's, literally.
If you are a slick greedy crook, with the gift of the gab, and don't mind lying for a living, become a New Thought practioner. They make a bloody fortune.
The Secret make them all millions, and it will come back again in a few years, in another form.
