Quote by: Radarlove Maryjane, I thought you said you were withdrawing from this debate? Anyway, welcome back. I agree with you, I never feel comfortable when so-called "human potential experts" charge large amounts of money for workshops and study programmes - particularly when the people attracted to them are often vulnerable and in crisis. But people, in the West at least, can do what they want with their money... surely? Out of curiosity, I wondered what the super-rich did with theirs. Here are some examples. A man recently paid $502,400 to have lunch, yes lunch, with the world's leading investor and billionaire businessman Warren Buffet. All the money went to charity. In 2005, an art collector paid $104m for Picasso's 1905 painting Boy with a Pipe. In the same year the Bugatti Veyron, the world's fastest legal on-road sports car, went on sale for $1.7m. The most expensive yacht is owned by Oracle founder Larry Ellison - cost $68m. A toy collector recently paid $60,000 for a pre-war Dinky box of 6 type 1 vans. So, $2,000 for a week long seminar. The obvious question, what do you get for this money. : The opportunity of overcoming your fear of death. : The opportunity of learning how to meet and converse with deceased loved ones. : The opportunity of dramatically expanding one's knowledge and awareness of life. : The opportunity of learning how to travel in the many different dimensions of time and space away from the physical. Therefore, I would suggest this is good value for money when compared to the cost of expensive material objects. You have a choice. Follow the creeds ignorance is bliss and shallow is good, or, choose the more challenging but far more gratifying exploration of other worlds and your inner self.

The dude who runs that is my hero, so many rich saps to rip off, so little time.
