Is Anthony Robbins the Second Coming of Jesus....?

Too many words in this thread.

True, Drooly - but consider:



1. If you could see oodles of lovely lasses bouncing and waving their arms (refer to the Chris pic above) at an AR seminar, wouldn't that be a major incentive to attend?



2. If someone who wanted to start a BB to encourage indie artists were to ask you "who would be a good example/role model to follow ", wouldn't you point in Chris' direction? She takes away something (attitude, point of view, perspectives) from someplace(e.g. beliefs, experience, AR seminar) and passes it along to encourage other musicians here & elsewhere. Chris must have received some good ideas herself from personal resources, including probably AR.



3. It's difficult to cover in a sentence or two concepts that take at least several pages in a book or a half-hour in a seminar. Kinda like explaining Tolstoy's "War And Peace" in 30 seconds or less, lol. That's why I'd suggest buying a used book or cassette for cheap or borrowing from the library.



There are terms that, once you know the content and context, work quickly and concisely. If I were to say to Chris "I had a problem eating creampuffs every chance I had, but I used a 'Swish Pattern" to change that", Chris would probably understand what I mean, but the term is exclusive.



Explaining the helpful concept in theory and experience, in an inclusive manner could be 3 or 4 threads in itself! LOL.



Just as my silly reference to the "Walrus is Paul" will have meaning to some, but not to others. Unless someone's into "all things Beatle" or been around a few years, it's just an in-joke. So we're talking here of mostly experiential-based things which are not always easy to convey.



But fess up, Drooly. You just wanted to provoke Chris into posting a beach pic of herself, didn't ya???? hahahaha!

But what is he charging? If I want the Tony Robbin's experiance exactly how much will it cost me? (Everything, from start to finish??)



If you'd rather not say that's ok and if it is a good investment that's fine.



Also, the people forced to repeat courses over and over, are they also expected to pay for them over and over?

Ron - hahahhaa For someone who hasn't been to a seminar, you really did read the books and absorbed a lot of info - SWISH!



Gregg - For Date with Destiny - the one we did last month - it was US$4000/person as an individual event. Its way cheaper if you buy the whole package with 2 other seminars. (we're on the package) That IS a fair amount of money and more than worth it. And no one forces you to go to them, people go back because they get so much out of them! ahhaha It's funny you use the word 'force' - do you think I was forced to go??



I met one person who did DWD 5 years earlier, it's their fav program and they love the Gold Coast, Australia!! hahaha



Gregg - one thing we learnt is, if you make something a MUST and work out WHY you want to do it, your whole being will work towards making it happen. I would actually recommend "Unleash the Power Within" which is a long weekend and the one that really brought changes in myself and was also my first AR program! I accidentally quit smoking because of it!! hahaha The cheapest seats are US$695. I want to do that one again soon. There is someone I love that I would love to take there!

LOL, well I have the memory of an elephant, which is okay except I also tend toward having the thighs of an elephant!



As for cost, as I mentioned, a person can get the personal at-your-leisure AR for very little denario. As I was studying Neuro-Linguistics using libraries (before the internet was so big), I ran into, at the same place (shelve space) .the 60 minute AR cassette I mentioned and borrowed that, too.



AR is a protege of Drs. Bandler and Grinder, with whom I was already familiar and who expropolated and formulated the principles of NL or (NLP), their classic work is Frogs Into Princes (link to customer reviews at Amazon).

AR gleaned and distilled their most useful concepts to teach others.



Now, I'm not sure what the "crack ho" ratio would be, lol, but I also saw that at Amazon a "personal" AR seminar can be had on CD new for $11.20, used about 9 bucks.

And while I'm shilling for the guy (hmmm...I should get a cut of all this,haha), those who are down & out, down on their luck and/or not knowing where their next meal is coming from can contact Anthony Robbins Foundation, which assists those who are not in a position to help themselves very much (e.g. those in prison) with access to such materials & material need itself.



for example:

"What began 25 yrs ago as Robbins' individual effort to feed two homeless families has now grown into the Anthony Robbins Foundation's international holiday “Basket Brigade” that feeds more than one million people in nine countries every year and has provided support or initiated programs in 2,046 schools, 758 prisons and more than 100,000 health and human service organizations and homeless shelters to assist the homeless, elderly and inner-city youth."

(AR website)



Chris can correct me on this, but it's my understaning that 'giving something back' is strongly emphasized as a big part of the "AR Experience" (sounds like the name of band that does Hendrix covers, hahahaha!)

[bbchris]

hahahaha I was wearing a g-string under those bondage pants - that's got to count!! hahahaha



Ron - you are absolutely correct - giving something back is very highly promoted by Tony Robbins. He explains that we must contribute to fulfill our needs and to raise consciousness and awareness. He recommends tithing 10% of money you receive and also give your time. One thing he says he does (as a suggestion of what someone can do to contribute) is when you're in a new town, go to a hospice (or somewhere where lonely old people are) and find someone (if you can) with no family or who gets no visitors and visit with them and ask them about their life. I thought that was a wonderful thing and actually I prefer to be with old people than children. So I yes spend time with elderly folks who tell me their life stories and it's very very rewarding. And puts life into perspective.



I also have a friend who's wife & child were murdered in front of him - you think he would have an excuse to be 'bitter' with a chip on his shoulder. Nope, he's the loveliest giving man I've ever met - he has patches in his scalp with deep knife ruts where hair will never grow and he lost his family. People like him inspire me too. If you ever come to HK and he's in town, I'd love any of you to meet him. Kind of put my life into perspective...



Too many people use the 'bad' 'sad' things in their life as an excuse not to do something good for mankind. Life isn't fair - its how we deal with the outcome that makes us grow and contribute to society.



Ron! I think "Giving Something Back" is a FANTASTIC name for a band!! wooooooooooohoooooooooooo
