I am not saying that the concept of quantum suicide is valid: the whole thing would require many-worlds to be true, and even if it is, the idea that you can disregard the futures in which you die is controversial, of course, but I do think that if MWI is true, the futures in which you survived due to freak events would be much less common that ones in which you survived due to lottery wins: the lottery win is not all that improbable. That does not necessarily make doing this a sensible lifestyle choice.

Incidentally, I actually wrote some articles on this kind of thing recently, though I did not propose that anyone should actually do it, and do not propose that. It would be a silly thing to do.

Hope you're week is going great. Burt and I have been crazy busy over
the last few days preparing for his upcoming video class with Vishen
Lakhiani of FinerMinds.

It's happening THIS Sunday.

In fact, Burt JUST got off the phone with Vishen and I overheard them
chatting about what to cover during the class and all I can say is...

IT'S GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY GOOD.

Not only is Burt going to speak about WHY it took him over 30 years to
reveal his Quantum Jumping technique to the world, he's also going to
talk about what he's been working on in the past 1 year since it's initial
release - including some pretty powerful and advanced techniques.

So, even if you're already an experienced Quantum Jumper, you most
definitely don't want to miss this. Burt's been working really hard on
preparing some excellent material for you so I know he would greatly
appreciate your attendance!

the stranger who changed Tom's life

Hi Tom,

"When a butterfly flaps its wings, could it cause a hurricane half way
across the world?"


It's fascinating how even the most insignificant events can create a
massive ripple across time, and change our lives in unsuspecting
ways.

Someone, somewhere, met their soul-mate because they missed
the bus by only a fraction of a second and bumped into them while
walking to work...

And someone got their dream job after a chance encounter with a
perfect stranger at the dry-cleaners...

And someone's life was spared when they decided to turn right at
that stop sign instead of proceeding through...

You get the idea right?

Everything in your life... your job, your partner, your possessions,
your friends... came to you through a series of insignificant events
that took you along the path towards where you are NOW.

When you think about it, you'll realize the connection between tiny
events (like missing the bus) and your ultimate destiny is totally
mind-blowing.

But consider this - what would your life would be like if all these tiny
events had unfolded differently?

What would have happened if you had got on that bus? Never met
that stranger? Proceed through that stop sign?

Would your life be better… or worse? Imagine what you could learn
about yourself and your choices if you had the ability to discover the
paths you *didn't* take.

It may sound unbelievable, but there is ONE way to find out and it
involves something called "Source Foundations..."

A simple yet powerful technique that you can use to discover your
hidden destiny.

This is revealed in Burt's Quantum Jumping video class.

It's ridiculous how gullible people are. Let me guess, at some point it involves giving money to that Burt guy. Become a great photographer ! what kind of a test is that ?Why wouldn't he connect to his genius medical researcher self, and cure cancer !

How is he doing it Ani? By e-mail? or on facebook or something?

If it's e-mail, then just add him to your blocked list. All his e-mails will go to the Junk folder.

Hi Tom,

Burt is in the next room talking on the phone to our fulfillment
company and I just overheard something I HAD to tell you.

I have to make it quick though because I don't think I'm really
supposed to be telling you this and Burt will be off the call
soon.

It seems our shippers are not very happy that Burt decided
to run this special 30 day trial offer. The response has been
HUGE and we didn't give them much warning. They have
been working around the clock packing up and sending the
courses.

Burt is of course thrilled about this was his only hope from
the get-go was to allow as many people has possible to try
this program.

Mission accomplished.

Our shippers, however, are not as thrilled about the amount
of work this influx of orders has generated (at a very minimal
profit).

Anyways... to get to the point.

I heard tell them that he wouldn't offer a deal like this again
without increasing the profit margins (and discussing it with
them) first.

uh-oh.

But the good news is, there is still a few hours left for you to
take advantage of this once-in-a-life-time (literally) deal.

Here's your last chance.

Jump Into a Universe of Infinite Possibilities.
The abundant you. The inventor you. The creative you. In alternate universes, everything you desire may have already taken place. Tap into this infinite potential with Quantum Jumping.

...Leading scientists like Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku and Neil Turok, all of whom are responsible for life-changing breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics, have all suggested the existence of multiple universes.

...In these alternate universes, alternate versions of YOU could be living out their lives.

And with an infinite number of them, it means that anything that can happen, does happen—in another universe. If this hypothesis is true, there is a universe where Obama never won the election and another where Princess Diana is still alive. There is a universe where you are the King of Scotland and a universe where you are a tea farmer in China. A universe where you are a celebrity musician, and one where you busk on a pavement for spare change.
