They are already blaming the victims. The original article quotes a Robbinite follower, that you won't get burned if you are in a "peak state", which of course is a lie. A brazen lie. You don't get burned if there is lots of ash covering the coals acting as an insulator, and you pass over quickly. But Robbins screwed up, got sloppy, and these people BLINDLY walked over re

Hypnosis and trance-work with a trained licensed competent professional is fine, it can be something good to try. But the unlicensed sharks, its a nightmare. Its the same as getting a medical operation from a licensed professional, or a backstreet butcher-job. You can die from the butcher-job, where the medical professional could save your life.

James Redfield made a ton of money when his book was a big hit years back. The end of the Celestine Prophecy book, instructs the reader to buy more books to give to others to spread the message. Very good viral marketing technique. James Redfield is a soft-sell salesman. The Celestine Prophecy is an absolutely awful book, and his Prophecies failed too. He is now trying to cash in on the

Gary Smith targets people who see themselves as being "different". So he targets people who seem to want to believe almost anything. For example, that the sun will explode next year. Of course, anyone with basic general knowledge will know the sun has been around for billions of years, and will continue as such. But Gary Smith knows he can defacto "hypnotize" his main
