Was the inspiration for my success, December 2, 2008

I know AJ personally and I first read the draft about 4 years ago. I can honestly say that the story was an inspiration for me and sparked me to new thinking and new actions (I wrote my own book after being inspired by AJ and his efforts). When I read the book I asked AJ- "Is this real?" and after much discussion I know that this is a true story. The incidents of "mysterious" nature are factual. I can say then, that this reality opens up so many new possibilities if we are willing to explore them.

Be careful of the wolf in a sheep's clothing, January 12, 2007

First off let me say that the core concepts of this book are solid and "work", but that they are not entirely new. Second, it is a big leap for someone who has not been involved in any "New Age" exploration in the past. Finally, just one thing about "The Money Game"- the author is spot on about this game. What is money, really? It is just a belief we have regarding some exchange of value.

Let's just say, hypothetically, that everyone on earth suddenly stopped accepting money as a "form of payment." Where would you take your money to trade it in? Is there a government office where you can exchange your money? What would they give you? Our money (in the US) used to be based on… Read more
