    Skeptical. But having an open mind.

    He started out with some basis in reason and reality but then ended up in what seemed like pure speculation to me. But I'm gullible and uncritical so why not? I can see how accepting this world view could help inspire some towards spiritual practice, just listening to the possibility of such a world gave me some kind of inspiration and energy regardless of whether its true or not. I think in the end though it doesn't really matter what happens out there in the universe because we don't have any control over that. What matters is what happens in here, in us, since that is something we do have some control over.

    That was beautiful! Seriously! It hit home for me!

    I was a bit interested by some of what he had to say in the first few minutes and then he started talking about books, movies and public speaking which threw me off quite a bit to be honest. I then did some digging and found out that he is quite notorious for what he does, but it seems to me that it has all of the traits of being a money maker type thing.

    To be honest...I believe most of these individuals who are new-age thinkers, write books, sell dvd's and sell speaking engagements, are more than likely doing it for money, power and so on.
