Self glorification is not necessarily a good thing.

Nicely inspiring. I found all the anonymous references amusing, heh

This is strongly reminiscent of that "Indigo child" garbage.

I started falling asleep around 2:41 so I stopped it. It doesn't really say anything that I can use and it just repeats the same dull pointless point. I guess it's great for those who need to be constantly reassured that they're sane in a crazy world instead of dealing with reality, but I don't live that way. Unless it turned into the opposite message at 2:42 through the end, this is not for me.

This seems scammy and the video made me uncomfortable (I can't stand those scenes where there is like strong eye contact and emotional hugging).

And I'm fairly certain that most anyone could watch that and decide that they're a wayseer. From guys in prison to hippies that attend benefit concerts to computer scientists that got bullied in school.

OMG! WE'RE ALL TOTALLY LIKE EINSTEIN!

Crest is recommended by 4 out of 5 dentists. I'm following that 5th dentist. Screw Crest!

Wavefreak58, be nice. People need hope. When they grasp at false, trite, or silly things in search of something in which to believe, they should get compassion, not scorn. I am not a Wayseer, but I understand why one would want to be.

I was not being scornful. I was speaking truth (as I see it at least) If one wants to be a visionary, one must look beyond the trite and cliched. The search does not end with placing false hope found in a slick video. It begins when the slick video is seen for exactly what it is.

I am definitely what the man in that video would call a "Wayseer", and he speaks much truth throughout that video ... but nobody needs to bother spending any money there, and the man in that video has no idea about how to actually bring anything about beyond his making money off the vulnerable.

Look similar? (I actually found this one easier to digest.)

LOL! I could not watch this video past the first 50 or so seconds. It was irritating and annoying and the guy said "nothing" to me. Just a bunch of words. (How broken am I?)

I can't tell you how pleased I am to read this.
I thought it was just lots of irritating, ear-stabbing noise to no useful effect. Am I suppose to feel 'uplifted' or something after watching it?

F*ck the video. I just went to their official site and saw their offer for a "21 day free trial." Says all you need to know about them. They're a scam set up to prey on lonely and confused people.

I am notifying an admin about this. If you were a newer member I might be tempted to accuse you of being a spammer for them. That's nice if you found the video inspiring, but this is not the place to push whatever they are selling. So I hope that wasn't your ulterior motive for posting this here.

People want to feel special and normal at the same time.

Being a visionary or not does not make anyone better or worse than anyone else, but you definitely do have a point when people start their own special "clubs" of whatever type and being thumbing their noses at others. In any case, that message in that video is founded upon an erroneous premise of so-called "self-help", and that is what makes it delusionary.
