The Law of Attraction seems very EGO-based to me.

[shanedk]

@dirkschuitsma I know, right?

[infimous]

ur too negetive mate, get a life, & a gf, or bf what ever floats your boats =/

[SpitballExpress]

@SpitballExpress [2] I don't want to be offensive, but why would I listen to shanedk over Canfield? It would be like listening to my middle-class Dad tell me how to invest money instead of Donald Trump!

Canfield walks the walk, as do many others of his ilk. Take the time to listen to them instead of coming up with false scam stories about them.

[TuxedoClam]

@shanedk People are thumbing down your comments? Why don't they just wish for them to go away instead? ;P

[blapgatify]

The healing arts?! I love these people's terminology, lol.

[blapgatify]

I love the title "metaphysician". I'm going to use that one.

0:50 Okay so if I picture a naked woman in my mind then...?

[TheHandgunhero]

If only attraction worked... I'd be a rich man by now if it were true.

[lardhat]

Hey, why do you secretists give this video a thumb down? Why don't you wish it to magically go away instead?

Go ahead, try attracting a something that closes his account down. ;)

[stabinferno]

Awful actor, but great thinker.

[PayasYouListen]

I had to find this video again because I saw a Simpsons episode today with a brilliant parody of it. They even had the Australian woman at the beginning and the "no one understands electricity bit". Made me laugh.
