I'm sorry fellas. I didnt mean to shit all over your hide and seek game. I am just having a bad day. I work 9-5 and I feel like nobody loves me. I will delete my other comments and go cry myself to sleep. Peace.
If you believe this, then I know a Nigerian widow who wants to transfer millions of dollars into your bank account.
Twyman's faith based nonsense is not science. He has compromised his experiment by having direct contact with the person entrusted to hide the book. This certainly raises doubts about the legitimacy of his intentions.
A truly scientific experiment would not allow either party to know the other's identity, let alone allow them to come into direct contact with one another!
Twyman should allow a university known for paranormal research to conduct the experiment. Then if he can find the book, that would prove he has ESP.
However, even if Twyman could find the book through ESP, that would hardly be proof that "we are one." In other words, his experiment is not relevant to the question, "Are we all one?"
I am not suggesting we are not all one. But for Twyman to claim he is conducting a legitimate and relevant scientific experiment, when anyone can plainly see that he is not, only proves he is a snake oil selling fraud.
I just wanted to say that I'm very happy that many of you are connecting and sharing ideas, whether you agree with each other or not. That's what this is for - to begin a conversation. Try to be kind to one another, though, since everyone's opinion matters.
Finally, for those who wonder about the authenticity of this experiment, the young woman who hid the book, Leslie, is being given a polygraph test next week so we can demonstrate conclusively that no one was in on it.
You may be right, my friend. In the end, you have to decide for yourself if you want to believe or not. It seems you have already made up your mind. And that's ok. But let others make up their minds as well. The fact is that lie detector tests are known to be 95% reliable. It may not be perfect, but it's pretty good.
By the way, I took a test four days ago as well, and passed. That brings the possibility that we both lied to next to nothing. Something to think about.
Wrong! Scientific truth is neither something one decides to believe in or not, nor is it a popularity contest. Belief is not science and neither is general consensus. Ex: Galileo/Copernicus disproving Earthcentrific
"Pretty good" still leave a very wide hole of doubt. A truly scientific experiment would leave nothing to chance.
This so called scientific experiment has been hopelessly compromised. A truly scientific experiment would require no contact between you or the person hiding the book.
467 psychologists have this to say about polygraphs on wikipedia:
'There is little scientific evidence to support the reliability of polygraphs. Despite claims of 90% - 95% reliability, critics charge that rather than a "test", the method amounts to an inherently unstandardizable interrogation technique whose accuracy cannot be established. A 1997 survey of 421 psychologists estimated the test's average accuracy at about 61%, a little better than chance.'
"Talk sense to a fool and they will call you foolish." - Euripides
to answer your last question, see my previous responses. oneness is about oneness in spirit, not all physically the same. if this were the case, life could not exist b/c everything would be an identical clone. physical life is about contrast. no two things are alike - snowflakes & DNA show examples of this. even our spirits are separate. the oneness is the microcosm being part of the macrocosm, not identical clones in every way.
living proof of manifesting and cocreating our own reality. see us and please be a guest on Ghost Chat New England: History, Mystery, Legends and Ghosts (C)
I would go even further by saying that there is only One. And yes what you give to others -with the right intention that is- you are giving to you-r-self. It doesn't even have to be money though. it can be joy, understanding, love...
I think I get it: We're all one, so when I pay Twyman to teach me how be one, (even though we already are(???)), it won't matter how much, because I'm really only giving the money to myself! If the course works, I'll be able to take stuff from others' hiding places, but that won't matter either, because there really is no such thing as "others", so it's already really my stuff anyway! Cool.
what you're misinterpreting is that the oneness is spiritual, not physical. obviously we are not physically one. see my previous comments about relying on the visual sense. every separate physical thing came here for a different experience, so your cynical interpretation of oneness does not apply. drun1999 is correct that One is the only thing that exists - in infinite forms spanning infinite time.
i dont see how he's misusing anything. even though i dont see a way to *prove* oneness using this technique (b/c i cant think of any way to do it without knowing for sure that the people involved didnt plan it beforehand), the technique is real. that i have experienced in person, and it works b/c your spirit knows everything. if the mind can learn to feel & listen to it very closely, then this can be done, among other techniques that he taught for free such as spoonbending & sacred heart.
Ok, we may never come to an agreement here, but let's check: I am 100% satisfied with evidence that spoon-bending is a simple magic trick. The best response I've heard so far from the benders is : "It -can- be a mere trick, but it's not when -we- do it". If you agree with them, I fear we're not going to change each others' minds. debate
i agree that some 'magicians' may do spoonbending as a magic trick. that doesnt mean it cant be done for real as we have the power to cooperate w/ the elements. James is genuine & his mission is to truly help people open up to the power of their spirits. he would not have been offering all these courses for free thru the years if that wasnt his intent. my best friend can do this spirit-tracking technique. he's an old native american and said these types of things were common among the tribes.
That's what I -said- : "Yes, it's a trick when the magicians who debunk us do it, but -not- when when -we- do it". Com'on, man, really, that's lame.Then there's the phenomenon we -dont- know the tricks for, which might've made some points with me, if they didn't still cling to the so-thoroghly disproven spoon trick too. Flat out fake. How can we accept our "spiritualists" lie about one trick but tell the truth about another? No, we must believe it all.
james offered a course in spoonbending b/c the same will from your mind+spirit that can affect matter, can be applied to help mass consciousness. when they applied that thru group meditation in jerusalem years ago, they used a Biometer which measures units of light to show physical results of their work. after the meditation the reading rose to nearly 9500 angstroms which is the highest that was ever recorded from a group meditation.
I have a strange feeling after watching this trailer. It leaves me feeling like I've been invited into a dense and sticky energy. Oneness being what it is, while honoring James' truth as a part of the whole I choose now to leave his show.
Oneness is all there is. The Infinite is playing hide and seek in the finite. Only mind has a need to "prove" oneness. But of course mind is just the Beloved minding -- Oneness playing as twoness.
I agree with fancyfreenomad. I certainly don't need Twyman or any movie to give me "proof". The proof is not "given" in this manner. The awareness is awakened within and when you awaken to it you know because you see it and it is self-evident. It isn't hard and yes our soul knows the Truth... the evidence is all around us. I am not a fan of Twyman by any means, I think he's a second rate huckster, good message/bad delivery, but will be curious to see the film.
i don't need proof; i know we are all one, but for people who do, i hope this film shifts their thinking about the assumed "reality" we think we know, but have barely begun to scratch the surface of. The comment below by rawfoodkevin is nothing but cynical & resigned malarkey fueled by his ego. His soul knows the Truth. I can't wait to see this film!
You are the one who is "cynical & resigned malarkey fueled by his ego".
I made a legitimate comment, yet you choose to attack me personally instead of address my message.
What you "know" hardly passes for scientific evidence that "we are one", which is what Twyman is claiming.
Besides, if you really believed "we are one" then you would not be such a hypocrite in attacking me with uncivil, illogical ad hominem slurs. If we are one, then why are you attacking yourself?
hehe, "attack" is your story, not mine. You let me have my say and i'll let you have yours and we'll all be ONE happy entity! Yay! And hey kev, breeeathe...it's just youtube.
Take your own advice. Those who attack me are the ones who are wound up too tight.
Of course, attacking me just proves you too truly do not believe "we are one".
I am just the messenger. My message stands on its own.
For the record I will say that we may in fact all be one, I make no claim either way. But Twyman's method of attempting to prove "we are one" is most certainly "faith based" and NOT SCIENTIFIC.
Interesting to see the kinds of responses Mr. Twyman is bringing forth here. James, are you paying attention?
I understand what catko747 is saying about "invited into a dense and sticky energy".
RawFoodKevin, I really don't see fancyfreenomad "attacking" you... yes, that is your story. Nothing that fancyfree said to you is anything that one wouldn't sometimes say to themselves, if they were honest and self-reflective about their own ego play and thoughts.
PS to RFK - If you wait for "science" to validate existence there will be alot of wondrous experience missed. Soul/Spirit/Intuition/third eye/inner knowing.... all perceive, create, experience much that is not (yet) measurable in the laboratory!
exactly, science thus far only pertains to the physical realm. it's like ancient tribes such as the Mayans knowing the Earth is round before needing to see physical proof. modern man is programmed to rely on merely the visual sense to inform him about reality, when in fact this sense informs us least about reality compared to the other senses, esp hearing and the 6th sense (which really is the 1st sense). the eyes only see the surface of things, hence the belief that we are all separate.
it takes much 'unlearning' thru introspection to learn how to figure out the way things are using your intuition. learn to feel & look within and you'll discover the ability to find all the answers. but first you need to let go & detach from analytical, logical thought.
hey where can i watch this, april 15 ? on t.v or what?

Polygraph tests are scientifically proven to be unreliable. That's why they are inadmissible as evidence in courts.
Once again, this is not a scientific experiment. To bill it as such is dishonest and fraudulent.

whether he succeeds or fails:
he is a retard

this video is retarded
the whole premise of oneness is retarded
movies that copy "the seceret" effects are retarded.
Let me ask you this, if we are all "one" and since there are retards, are we all retarded?

Indeed, there -is- a "One", but make our separateness somehow less real than our oneness denies 1/2 of what we are: One, and many.
