Still sounds to me like a 'new age supermarket' where everyone picks up stuff according to personal preferences.
What do you think of gaia.com?

New age supermarket sums it up. It’s a marketing platform. Gather a lot of big names. Put them all in one place. The site consolidator gets a certain percentage of all sales generated through the site. All the celebs get exposure to the draw of all the other celebs. (Same reason McDonalds and Taco Bell etc are often on the same corner). It’s a win win for everyone. Put together big pricey tag-team events where they all show up at a resort in Costa Rica or an arena somewhere and they all in essence promote each other, generate new leads and cross pollinate. It’s a win win across the board.
That said, I don’t think it means they all agree with each other or are really affiliated in any way. Like 3 bands on a concert stage. I am not condemning them all just because of one or two. Although it does raise the Spockian eyebrow! Lol.

Yeah I just read his page and I couldnt finish it because a lot of word salad with no bacon. Atleast he say that amino acids are important for the body, but well gluten is amino acid aswell. So a lot of general obvious stuff with some new Age mystery magic aura theme which you can unlock with some magic plastic debit card for 299$ Don't see any valid sources on his page on where he gets his all information from. Bachelore of Science may entail many things and nothing accurate. Being Doctor Chiropractic doesn't say much as well apart from getting our back straight. Having some training using machines doesn't make someone credible expert. When coming to being researcher well, everybody can do that to certain degree. Paying hundreds of bucks for partial truth or misinformation?Doing some search and connecting the dots, a lot of it is available for free. Paying money so you got to sit there and weed out others bullshit? No thank you. But I do understand the wrapped up marketing of new Age / scientific terminology which makes it sounding promising because it's becoming mainstream to talk about mind over body without actually realizing what it is and that it may be something as simple as getting our assess from the coach and cleaning our room. I do have to come clean and say that I was intersted in what the guy had to say, but for some reason it didn't stick with me. There are much more credible neuroscientists out there worth taking a look at like Dr. Andrew Huberman on youtube for free.
Thank you for bringing this up so we could take a better look at this guy.
Supermarket is quite a good description!
For the sake of justice, I’d like to emphasize again that there is real quality stuff among the hot garbage. It does take decent prepararion to make good use of it without getting lost
From you say, he used misleading tactics (“Dr.”) and may be flat-out lying about his self-healing. That’s a shame. I’ve heard that manifesting and self-healing isn’t even that hard - and again, has nothing to do with spirituality.
If things follow as you say, his would be quite a pathetic and damaging work.
About the filter. Yeah… filter is very rare, so all in all most mazes became not a puzzle, but a trap
I guess when you say you "love", you meant in funny manner. Any way here is one looks weird.

I wish more people would be able to distinguish abilities VS enlightenment. The wrapping wouldn’t matter, as long as it is actually liberating for the one who ‘buys’ it
Reminds me of how I see the term Jñana (Gnana) in sandkrit traditions. As far as I can see, those were somewhat cryptic but truly profound words
So, about Emery Smith. I find his case i noteworthy regardless of Gaia by the way.
If I start from his claims you could be turned off. So I’ll start with a small story:
I was watching him giving a lecture beside a young lady. He was spilling real hot stuff, stuff that most people couldn’t even make up - mostly about interacting with other-humans.
Someone in the audience asks: “now look, if any of this is true, how come they haven’t killed you?”
He says “they won’t kill for this stuff” (he mentions the three things people get ‘blacked out’ for) and then “but they will put down your family for it. I don’t have a family anymore. My dog’s dead, and I don’t have any friends”
He continues: “look at Amardeep” [points at a corner in the audience, audience turns to look at that spot] “he directed Sirius Project. I was in the doc. He’s alive - but soon after he did the movie, there was a shootout at the temple his father ran, and his father died. They won’t kill you, because you’d become a martyr. But they will try to dissuade you”
I thought that was interesting. This was a 2016 lecture if I remember well. For scientific curiosity and hormonal encouragement I tried to find the attractive young lady in the internet - Olivia McKenzie -. I found her on linkedin, to my surprise. The timeline in jobs was curious enough… but then.
But then I saw her only post.
She was raising funds for her dead mother… killed in a random shootout in a small city in the middle of Oregon. Two years after that presentation.
Now… could that be a stunt? Well, why not? But still, that’s a whole levels complex to pull off, also because I found the shootout in the news.
That said, lemme mention his claims in a following post…

Me neither! The fact that you have to pay to see channeled messages is a big red flag
for me. Not saying that 100% of the content in there is wrong or something, is just that there is no scientific process or research behind the information presented there and the new age tone is quite big. And many of us knows already how the new age culture is (not good) the same for the “love and light” type of messages. I have family members who are subscribed to it and they tell me about it sometimes, so I know whats been shared in there, and yeah… waste of time (and money) in my opinion. I recommend you the Wave series and the second volume of it were the subject of New Age is presented, to have an idea. Anyways, if you like it, be my guess, but if you think on doing some type of promotion of it in here, don’t hold your expectations on a good response.That’s true. The thread has been serving its purpose. I appreciate the feedback.
I’m going off topic talking about Emery Smith. I was wondering if I should open a new thread on that one, but I wasn’t sure about that.
The reason I’m talking about this specific guy is that I found him on Gaia (so to me it doesn’t seem like a jarring transition talking about him, while now I realize it must be the case as you read it), and his content has quite stuck to in my mind, and I am just as excited about it as I wanted some skeptical perspective. The claims are quite huge.
Not sure how to do that, and I don’t want to shift the focus of this thread
Use the search function to read about what people have said about Emory Smith before starting a thread on it. There’s also information on the forum about the guy who founded gaia.com and some of the unsavory characters he hung around. All there if you want to dig around.
You might also want to familiarize yourself with how people here view the New Age movement and COINTELPRO. Provides context when discussing these subjects.
Well, I’m quite enthusastic about it, even while I see many serious problems (tons of low-quality stuff, questionable authors, likely contact with big info managers, etc). Didn’t mean to be salesy. If it can be taken as unwelcome promotion, I should change how and what I communicate.Me neither! The fact that you have to pay to see channeled messages is a big red flag
And btw, thanks for mentioning how you experience it coming from your family members. I never got to know anybody else who used, so I’m quite curious
