RE: Building Your Super-Self: STEP ONE - Dump The Fucking Noise

in GEMS • 5 years ago

I'm glad too! Always excited to find someone who challenges my thinking (your posts have real depth, which is fucking rare!).

Btw, the feeling of being burned out on the whole law of attraction scene - I get it! I once spent three days harassing Joe Vitale on his blog (fun times, haha) for what I perceived to be a money-grubbing mentality and a lack of depth when it comes to some of the stuff he was peddling.

And I once spent 45 days of sustained daily effort aimed at finding evidence that the law of attraction is bullshit, because I was sick of all the gurus and the feeling that I was being SOLD a hook that was supposed to reel me in and squeeze me for every dollar in my wallet and every minute of my attention.

I wanted it to be real, but I knew about confirmation bias and all the other stuff that might actually be making me a sucker, so I decided to immunize myself against the bullshit.

End result is me attempting to use critical thinking and nuance whenever I can (often quite unsuccessfully).

P.S. I will be posting more "conspiracy meets vibration" posts on my @vibrational account and, starting on Monday, posting via @bookclub (book reviews, big ideas from books, etc...). There's a 9/11 post I plan on doing on @vibrational - I'm really looking forward to seeing what you think about it.

Cheers!

    🤣

    I must confess: as evil as it sounds, I was actually kind of pleased when I'd encountered him commenting in a Facebook group random about going through a rough divorce. Granted, my own marriage was falling apart at the time - so it was sort nice to receive a seeming-confirmation that even the alleged LOA gurus were human and couldn't fool-proof themselves with their theories against such relationship disasters.

    Cool. haha. 😎

    Feel free to check back and post a link to your 9/11 post if I happen not to come across and comment on it, as I don't often spend alot of time in my feeds here but would be curious to read...

      I'll probably post it tomorrow (I'll let you know). I wanted to do it today, but got sidetracked with a post about Star Wars!
