With a background of about thirty years of work and intense study in the areas self-improvement, self-awareness, philosophy, comparative religion and the Technology of Prayer:

Here's this  author's assessment of four common tools for
 Personal Growth and Transformation

Using the symbolic metaphor of education, this assessment ranks  these modalities   in  terms of:  
1)   using them to  successfully connect to and co-create with Creator/God and  
2)   using them successfully change one's life:    

Traditional Religion -- learning to participate in a traditional religion is like going to grammar school.   You begin to play at  life on Earth but you really have no idea what's actually going on.   Regarding traditional religious beliefs, no matter which religion a person learned, the source of those beliefs is almost always what that person learned from his/her  parents.   The parents learned their religious beliefs  from their parents, who learned it from their parents, who learned it from their parents, et cetera, et cetera -- in some cases going back more than a thousand years.  Many people have simply accepted their parent's beliefs about life and the nature of the universe without questioning the accuracy or validity of those beliefs.   

"The Secret" -- watching the video, "The Secret" is like going to high school  -- You get a basic survival-level  education.   You begin to wake up and realize there is a world out there that you didn't know before, and there are specific ways to interact with it.   Viewing "The Secret" is a valuable start in seeing a bigger picture of life and reality, but you still have no specialized knowledge and all but no experience.   Many of us have known and applied the secret (the law of attraction) to our lives and found the results to be sporadic at best.   See their website at:    http://thesecret.tv    

"What the Bleep Do We Know"  and  "Down the Rabbit Hole" -- These two, excellent videos are like going to college.   They take viewers well beyond anything that "The Secret" has to offer.   They give viewers a big-time wake-up call.   You realize that the world is not as you have been led to believe it is by those who claim to know.   You realize you have been making irreversible, life-altering decisions based on false, incomplete, or intentionally deceptive information.   You study the evidence, you learn much, and have some very special and very valuable skills,  but almost everything is still head knowledge.   http://www.whatthebleep.com/community/ 

Theta Healing -- Theta Transformation   Is the Technology of Successful Prayer.   It's  like advanced degrees of higher education.   It's like Masters and Doctoral studies.    When you watch the two videos, "What the Bleep Do We Know"  and  "Down the Rabbit Hole," you'll understand that Theta Healing / Theta Transformation is applied quantum physics.   You'll also understand that Theta Healing / Theta Transformation is next logical step in personal transformation.  

The Introductory Theta Healing  Seminar gives you specialized knowledge and teaches you the Theta Healing skills.  Fortunately, the process is relatively easy to learn.   You can also take additional classes later.   Although the additional classes  are valuable, they are not essential.   The introductory seminar teaches all that you need to know to become fully functional as a Theta Healing practitioner.   

Theta Healing / Theta Transformation puts you, your knowledge, and your  skills into action out in "the real world."   When you practice Theta Healing, you are simultaneously in the physical world and in the non-physical world of Creator/God.    When in that mental state, you can successfully co-create with Creator/God.   You can make major changes in your own life and in the lives of your family and friends and you can increase your value to the company you work for.   Many of us are already doing so, right now.  

But don't believe any of this, and don't disbelieve it either.   Make me prove that "The Secret" is simply the wake up call.   Make me prove that Theta Healing / Theta Transformation  can assist you in making a significant change in your life.   Then and draw your own conclusions.
