Joe Vitale Revisited.



It's time to revisit Joe Vitale and see just what it is he is up to now

Looks like ol Joe Vitale has hooked himself up with the film "The Secret".

Another mystic way to improve yourself through the "Laws of Attraction".

The film is largely influenced by Wallace D. Wattles' 1910 book "The Science of Getting Rich."

The Secret, described as a self-help film, uses a documentary format to present the Law of Attraction.

This law is the "secret" that, according to the tagline, "has traveled through centuries to reach you."

The film features the short dramatized experiences and interviews of a team called "personal transformation specialists", "spiritual messengers", "feng shui masters", what ever that is, and other experts, right!

As described in the film, the "Law of Attraction" principle posits that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs.

The film also suggests that there has been a strong tendency by those in positions of power to keep this central principle hidden from the public.

The previews or "clues" to the film, show men who "uncovered the Secret...".

The film also includes quotes by historical figures, described by producer Rhonda Byrne in the voiceover as "past secret teachers."

Byrne states in the voiceover, "I can't believe all the people who knew this; they were the greatest people in history."

The people identified include: Hermes Trismegistus, Buddha, Aristotle, W. Clement Stone, Plato, Isaac Newton, Martin Luther King Jr., Carl Jung, Victor Hugo, Henry Ford, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Robert Collier, Winston Churchill, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph Campbell, Alexander Graham Bell, and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Seeing as how all these people are dead it's kind of hard to walk up to, e-mail them, or write them and ask them if they really believe in "The Secret" of if someone is just using their name to sell someone a "bill of goods" for their own profit.

Here's a letter from "BK" who, IMO, seems to have his head on his shoulders and is thinking clearly.

BK from Fresno, CA. USA

Vitale is very believable and is listed as a "Metaphysics" expert. He and others expect you to believe that all you need to do is VISUALIZE what you want, FEEL what it will be like to receive it, and BELIEVE it will happen. Money (or whatever you wish for) will fall from Heaven. Sure it will........

Golly "BK" it doesn't sound like you need to apply for your secret decoder ring to get "the Secret" you know it already.

Nothing comes to you just from thinking about it. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" seems to come to mind

This person has asked two questions that I had asked myself when I saw the "Dr." in front of Joe Vitale's name. Sounds like he took the time to find the answers.

Dr Loveless from Chicago, IL

"Dr." ... of what? "PhD, from where?"

The main problem I have with Mr. Vitale is that his academic credentials are questionable.

He attended Kent State University but apparently never graduated. Nothing wrong with that in itself, except that in order to get a legitimate PhD you have to not only graduate from a 4-year college or university, you usually have to earn a master's degree as well.

You have to dig deep online to discover that Mr. Vitale's "PhD" is from the non-accredited University of Metaphysics in Sedona, AZ.

I find it disturbing that in Mr. Vitale's Hypnotic Gold program he makes a point of introducing himself as Doctor Joe Vitale, as if that is his main claim to fame. I wouldn't mind so much if the content had value, but when he interviewed a 10-year-old kid for creating a website all about farting, I had to draw the line and cancel my membership.

Do you mean to tell me that Dr. Joe Vital's PhD was made up out of thin air, kind of like farts? Must be, as there isn't any base B.S. or B.A. for him to build on, to get his PhD.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me when we are talking about a man who is trying to sell you on the idea that in order to get what you want all you have to do is think good thoughts about it and it will happen.

Ok after taking another look at Joe Vitale it seems as if he's still trying to sell his same old line of BS that the power of good thoughts will get you what you want with out any hard work on your part
