• Firewalking, anyone? 

  
  

  When the letter below landed in my inbox, it created a few moments of uneasiness.  I saw it as a challenge:  am I fearless enough to do this?

  
  

  I got past that pretty quickly, though, because of some of the insights that have dawned on me recently.  I have realized, as Dick Sutphen puts it, that my goals have been in conflict with my values.  I had been hurting myself for a long time over my failure to establish the healing center I had set as a goal almost thirty years ago.

  
  

  When I formed that intention, I wanted to save the world, heal the people, and especially to heal the healers.  At the time, I didn’t know yet how much I valued peace, solitude, privacy and liberty.  I’d never really had enough of it to understand its importance to me.  It has taken a long time for me to realize this, and to grasp that these values would have to be sacrificed if the old goal were to be realized.

  
  

  The healing center was my Plan A for most of my life.  I still don’t have a Plan B yet, a goal that would be consistent with my values.  Each time a new objective presents itself, I look at it in the light of my primary values, as I did with this firewalking thing.  Leading seminars of any sort would not be for me… too much disturbance of my precious wa, setting dates, appointments I must keep… yecch.

  
  

  So, for anyone out there who would like to undertake a career of leading seminars, here is the offer:

  
  

  
  

  Dear Friends,
  
  I have been teaching firewalking seminars for over 25 years.  No one on the planet has been teaching firewalking longer than me.  It is incredibly rewarding work.  In one night, this extraordinary experience can change a person’s life forever.
  
  If you would like to become a certified firewalking instructor, please read on.  I am doing a group class to certify instructors on March 6,7,8,9 near Tampa, Florida.  The tuition is only $2,000 and you can earn back your entire tuition the first time you conduct a firewalking seminar.
  
  All firewalking instructors worldwide were trained by me or someone I’ve taught.  Collectively, we now have over two million graduates on six continents.  I’ve taught firewalking to Anthony Robbins, Sundoor’s Peggy Dylan, Dr. Andrew Weil, Geraldo Rivera, and a host of famous celebrities and CEOs.  People from all walks of life are drawn to firewalking.  Even
  Fortune 500 companies are now using firewalking in their executive training programs.  You can read more about this on my web site: www.firewalking.com.
  
  Here is your opportunity to enter a field of service.  You will be able to help people overcome their limiting beliefs about themselves and empower them to attain goals they used to think were impossible.
  
  This is the first group certification class I’m offering in over nine years, and I have no other classes planned at this time.  Covered subjects include fire regulations, liability, weather conditions, types of wood, marketing, safety procedures, presentation skills, dos and don’ts, logistics, corporate formats, venues, plus additional information that can be valuable even for people who already lead seminars.
  
  In just four days, and for only $2,000, you can launch yourself on a new and exciting career!  But even if you have no desire to ever teach firewalking, this is an opportunity to attain personal excellence and at the same time have an unforgettable and exhilarating experience.
  
  For more information, please go to www.firewalking.com or send me a request by e-mail.  If you already know that you want to join this firewalking instructor training, call 800-218-0055 and reserve your place with a $1,000 deposit using your Visa or MasterCard.  You will then receive a confirmation packet by U.S. mail.
  
  If you are not interested in becoming a firewalking instructor, you may still wish to read my new book EXTREME SPIRITUALITY with a foreword by Dr. Andrew Weil.
  
  Warm regards,
