I'm not on PATHS anymore, but I have absolutely no interest in wasting anymore time or money on this scam. And I certainly am not interested in "Operation Success", a module which supposedly works if you do these ridiculous worksheets, which are a rip-off of Abraham's teachings. If you do get results from "Operation Success", how would you know if the results you got weren't from the worksheets only?

The PATHS marketing strategy is brilliant: Post on self-help forums like this one and Powerful Intentions, where people are most likely already practicing personal development techniques. Sell them on this new "technology" that will "deliver" "millions" of "instructions" to their brains. But then take credit for any "results" they have, when the "results" they have seen are either placebo or are from the other self help techniques the users were already practicing. Or the "results" could be from the massive amounts of spirulina that are a requirement when using PATHS.

And then there's the fact of the pricing: Charge a HUGE upfront sum, so then the monthly payments after that seem relatively small. There is a guarantee, but it is for one month only. But when you look at the description for the modules, they all say the modules take about 60-90 days to work. WTF? What the hell kind of guarantee is that? But then you have all these affiliates telling you that they didn't see see results until after the first month, so against your better judgement, you keep going, hoping that the program will finally kick in for you, so you too can have these FABULOUS results. But then you realize...PATHS is doing nothing. But you've already lost your guarantee, and PATHS couldn't care less, because they've already received the BIG money from you upfront. Does this sound like an honest, ethical business?

And then there's this. Sounds a lot like PATHS, huh? And check out the testimonials. They are the exact same testimonials from the PATHS website, except the "module" names have been changed. I wonder if these people knew their testimonials were going to be used to sell another product?

I'm just glad I'm done with it. I'm disappointed in myself for foolishly believing that staring at a computer screen for three minutes would "download" "millions" of "instructions" to my subconscious. Never again will I purchase any self-help product with such a shady guarantee policy and insane pricing.
