Likewise, when I buy a book I don't like, I will post a 'negative' review saying why I didn't hopefully saving people who see likewise a few dollars.
As I said, I began reading his book, power vs. force and found it so full of pseudo science that I honestly felt cheated -cheated - that I paid money for it and people recommended it -lee ioccoca? Or did Hawkins make that up too?. I sort of felt guilty re-selling it on ebay.
I find it funny that none of you can comment about his fake degree and his fake knighthood- to me that's a sure sign of fraud, and interestingly he creates a cult like mindset in his followers that as evidenced in this thread. i am just going to ignore what you said dor, because it's dualistic 
If his work was purely spirtual not making scientific claims I wouldn't comment on it, but my posting here is to simply make people aware of these facts, I would do the same if someone posted something about the "dr" EMoto and his fraud -and fake degree
Like I said you addressing him as doctor is an insult to people who have actually studied and worked for those degrees.
I believe the world and mind are much more complex and powerful and spirtual than science and sketpics currently asses - and I am perfectly willing and wanting to explore new ideas, but psedu science and frauds tarnish the whole area of spirtuality, pd, Im and all that' 'stuff'

Nope! Because you seem very negatively motivated. That's the feeling I get when I read your postings...which is why I finally addressed your comments because it definitely seems like you already had your agenda posting which you openly admitted to in the above post.
Dr. Hawkins has a MD. That is a medical degree. There. I addressed your skeptical quote. In regards to knight-hood..honestly I didn't even notice he had a knighthood. Honestly does it make me think of him highly? No. Because I don't gauge people's integrity by their titles..however people who are easily mis-led may... is that my problem? No.
For example I have a bachelors degree. I studied entomology. Am I an expert in entomology? No. However do some people perhaps think more highly of my intellect than I would have them think? Yes that has happened. Is that my fault? No.
PhD aside..I really honestly don't give a arse because I read Steve's blog & he doesn't have an MD or PhD but because some of what Steve states resonates with me.
In regards to Hawkins creating a cult-like following that is not his responsibility. If you honestly think about it, anyone can have a bunch of followers following them around & merely repeating what they say like drones. It is a common phenomenon created by the people who follow & not the original thinker. Take this example: Jesus came down. Was born..say hypothetically speaking. Let's say Jesus taught very highly spiritual concepts. Okay. Well, what happened when Jesus died? Other people wrote his ideas down & mis-interpreted them in accordance with their own internal frameworks.
Is Hawkins responsible for people mis-understanding his concepts? No. Is he responsible for those who are powerless & naive? No. It seems you are not aware that others can take care of themselves quite easily & for those who cannot.. experience will teach them far better than any single skeptic could.
Like I said.. I repeat. If you want to start an anti-Hawkins thread feel free to! This is a free forum w/ free speech but.. I find your postings dor to be very in line with what I call.. "thread hijacking"...which is nothing more than a type of trolling in my personal opinion.
