I've Had It With The Gurus

What I'm about to say is not an attack on Bob Proctor. I believe that what he is teaching is true, correct, and wonderful. I am very fond of him from The Secret and the videos I have found of his. His books are fantastic as are his audio programs. However, I am disappointed today, and fed up with gurus in general. Here's the deal:

On Bob's website, there is a coaching program. It is very select, chosen by Bob himself on receiving your application, a phone interview, etc... In addition, you are guaranteed to receive all of his material free as a part of this course. Call me incredibly naive... But the program seemed to me to be a generous outreach of Bob to a few people he personally chooses to help them take their lives and turn them around. I figured this was free, or at least not insanely priced.

So after my application, at the end of the phone interview, I was accepted into the program. My excitement peaked. And that's when the interviewer mentioned that I would need to pay just under $7000 for the program. I told him that simply wasn't possible at this exact moment, and he said that Bob would say to attract it to me, don't worry about the way. I agree with this. But my personal skill at manifestation has not yet built up to that level. I receive what I need right as I need it, and I am led out of harm's way. Sometimes I manage to manifest a nice treat. But the problem is, I wanted a mentor who would assist me in raising this process to another level. If I can manifest that type of money in the next month (which is when the program will begin), then what do I need Bob for? If I can raise $7000 out of thin air in one month, I'd say I've pretty much arrived.

So in my disappointment, I've made another decision. I opened my website, www.jonpeeoh.com, to disperse information and to sell e-books at a very low, affordable price. I've done alright. But this spiritual information, the law of attraction, the power of creating reality, is what will help all of humanity to move forward. If I help you, then the energy I have put out will return to me. Therefore, rather than charge the $9.99 which I felt was more than fair and cheap enough, I'm through selling. The world needs this information, the world needs a higher spirituality and form of consciousness.

I'm scrapping the manuscript with the new section, The Meaning of Life, and tossing it out. I will not be writing anymore e-books for a long time. I began the site to help myself more than anyone else, to solidify my own thoughts and amplify them, to help me to step back into my spiritual process of unfolding. I am back in that flow, and that purpose is served. I may write more articles, I'm not sure. But from this point on they will be different.

I have focused on the theories and on beginning applications. I'm through with that. There are important things you can do to boost yourself into a spiritual reality, and that's what is important - the practical experience, not the many "why"'s that come with them. There's enough information out there to piece that picture together with. From this point forward, I will be focused on practical applications and how to literally reshape your life as quickly as possible into a magickal, spiritual experience of joy.

I am going right now to my page to remove the paypal links and set direct links to the e-books. They are all free. The Secrets of Manifesting Your Reality is free now. Ten Steps to Manifesting Your Desires is free. Enjoy. I am no longer standing on a stable ground of understanding. Having moved back into the flow, my reality and concepts of reality are once again shifting and changing daily, weekly, monthly. I look at parts of those writings and decide right now that I would write some parts differently. Same for the articles. However, as spiritual growth can be viewed as a series of stairsteps, I will leave my steps visible to others who may be able to walk up them as well.

In the future, expect contrasting, contradictory information, as reality is not static and maybe what works one day works differently the next. Maybe I see it in a new light. Maybe I was just plain wrong before. I do the best I can, but I'm not perfect. I'm perfecting. Just as everyone is. I fully intend to ascend within this lifetime, and I fully intend to enjoy a lifetime of immense wealth. But I guarantee you this: When I am a wealthy, rich, powerful manifester, I will assist others in learning the process FOR FREE. I will not want anything from you.

I made many mistakes in setting up jonpeeoh. Two in particular: 1) If you offer something for nothing, people do not value it - so I made it cheap. And I offered plenty of free stuff. The funny thing is, the free articles were valued more than the e-books, which shattered my original conception of something-for-nothing-being-undervalued. 2) I sold the e-books cheap. If I was going to sell them, I should have sold them for $50 apiece. The only thing more suspect than an information product for sale is an information product for sale CHEAP. I, having recently been through a very rough financial period, know better than anyone that $10 is a price I could have shouldered many times, but $20-$50 for an e-book? That could have fed my family a few times... However, a $10 e-book reeks to others of poor information, of a cheap effort to make a buck. I'll let you know right now, I spent more than three times as much money on adwords pulling people into my website than I ever made on e-book sales. If jonpeeoh was a business, it'd have a CLOSED sign hanging on the door.

I want to create a community, and that really has not happened yet. The forums were overrun by idiot spammers who were spamming to an empty room, and now the process of signing up is such a pain, who would bother? I set up an audio tester program for some entrainment/nlp/hypnosis products I would like to develop, had 9 people sign up, and after two and a half weeks I haven't had a comment, an email, nor any indication of life from any of them. I am refunding their money today, and I am shutting down the audio program. If you want audio programs, many fantastic ones are out there. I do not wish to be a one-man audio program generator, as this is far too much work for one person with no assistance. Also, just because something works for me, doesn't mean it works or works the same way for others, and vice versa. Without others' feedback, I could be selling useless programs. If I decide to offer audio programs in the future, they'll be free.

Anyway, I will still attempt to make a little money off my page. The way this will work is by using adsense ads, as well as my Amazon affiliate links. If you click through a book on my website (or for instance, in the previous post), and buy the book, I get a few cents for it. That's right, you buy a $20 book, I get about 30-50 cents. Not exactly a killing. You click on an adsense ad you're interested in, and I will make anywhere between 0-8 cents in general. Also not exactly a killing. What I DO like about that is that it doesn't cost me anything, as adwords does. I'm done paying for advertising. Anyone who finds my site, now finds it of their own synchronistic process.

The purpose of my site from now on will be dissemination of spiritual knowledge. If I can cause that to become a dialog with others, so much the better. Otherwise, it's me talking to myself. Either way, I'm fine with it. Anyway, I've blathered enough.

Take that, Bob Proctor!
