Dr Eric Amidi sells a E-Book for 39 dollars and promises to give insight behind The Secret-The law of Attraction.I bought the E-Book and found that it doesnot say anything new at all. It is a rehash of The Secret. In other words it is just a slightly tweaked version of The Secret. It was a complete waste of money. Internet

Quantum Physics is not an easy subject to understand. I for one found this book very informative. I thought it was written in a very easy to undesrtand way. Maybe you were expecting an advanced book on the subject and that is why you were dissapointed, but I would definitly not call it a ripoff.

Though the demonism of the Middle Ages seems to have disappeared, there is abundant evidence that in many forms of modern thought - especially the so-called "prosperity" psychology, "willpower-building" metaphysics, and systems of "high-pressure" salesmanship - black magic has merely passed through a metamorphosis, and although its name be changed its nature remains the same.

The New Age Movement is generally traced back to the teachings of Theosophy and Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891). In a similar manner, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802-1866) laid the foundation for what became known as the New Thought Movement. Though less well-known, yet equally as diverse, New Thought has just as many branches and competing systems. In order to get an idea of where the latter came from - where it has been and where it is now - it is necessary to establish a timeline.

Phineas P. Quimby takes up the practice of mesmerism (mesmeric sleep or hypnotism), after attending a lecture in Belfast, Maine by a traveling French physician/mesmerist, Dr. Collyer.

After a few experiments on willing subjects, Quimby happens upon a most suggestive young man, one Lucius Burkmar. Quimby soon realized that Burkmar, while in a trance, could diagnose disease and prescribe remedies. They traveled throughout New England and gave their own exhibitions - the mesmeric faith-healer and his talented clairvoyant.

Looking for an explanation to Burkmar's success - and not content with the standard mesmeric theory that magnetic fluid was the causative agent - Quimby theorized that healing occurred through the sheer power of the mind. Quimby would say, "Some believe in various remedies, and others believe that the spirits of the dead prescribe. I have no confidence in the virtue of either. I know that cures have been made in these ways. I do not deny them. But the principle on which they are done is the question to solve; for the disease can be cured, with or without medicine, on but one principle."

I read your complaint and did a little research. I don't know if Dr. Amidi is a quantum physicist or not, but he did a Thesis "A Search of the Top Quark Using Artificial Neural Networks" at Northeastern University, Boston Massachusetts in 1996 according to this pdf of his thesis >>> http://www-d0.fnal.gov/results/publications_talks/thesis/amidi/
