The more you know the clearer it becomes

Some of the things in this video seem to be good things
They are not.

They directly contradict the Bible - Jesus said "I am the way...no one comes to the father except through me" It is amazing to me the nerve of the people who put together these ads.

The following was taken directly from Oprah.com

" When you get into your car, after you close the door, pause for a few seconds and observe the flow of your breath. Become aware of a silent but powerful sense of presence." ( If you are not a Christian then presence you are feeling can not be the Spirit of the Lord - What is it?)

"Pay attention to the gap between your thoughts—when one thought subsides and before another arises. In this way, you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. When these gaps occur, you disidentify from your mind and feel a certain stillness and peace inside you. This is the essence of meditation and the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment." ( Again if you are not a Christian, what are you meditating on? If the Spirit of the Lord is not influencing your thoughts, who or what is?)
"It is not easy at first to be there as the witnessing Presence, especially when the ego is in survival mode, but once you have had a taste of it, you will grow in Presence power, and the ego will lose its grip on you. The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into the world." ("Presence" the only Presence- with a capital P- I want around is God- with a capital G- What a cheap imitation of a real relationship with God this is - this basically says your purpose is to bring your own will into being - hmmmmmm)
"he pain-body doesn't want you to observe it directly. The moment you observe the pain-body, feel its energy field within you and take your attention into it, the identification is broken. A higher dimension of consciousness comes in. It is called Presence. You are now the witness or the watcher of the pain-body." (The farther into the site you go, the farther out there it gets)
"Don't try to become free. Don't look for peace. Don't look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance." "When you accept what is, every moment is the best moment. That is enlightenment."
