Without exposing anything of the method, only responding to the ad copy, this is another example of
a fantastic description of a product that isn't all that fantastic. I wonder why I keep falling for
Hilford's ads...
Okay, it does not work on the swami principle (that was a big part of why
I got it, but it isn't that - closer to DW principle or Anneman's Mental Masterpiece method). The I
Ching uses 64 hexagrams, but this only uses 8 trigrams, so it isn't really I Ching at all. Second
disappointment. The "handmade pocket sized book" is a folded piece of paper. Not a book. As to
using the AN or Dance of Shiva method, the paper is thin enough to see through, so watch your angles
a lot more than if you were even using regular typing paper. The coins are exactly what I expected:
cheap feng shui coins, which is fine.
One of the things that I've seen in another of
Hilford's releases that bugs me here is the PUA stuff. When he sets up a f*rce at once point so you
can get your participant to think she is supposed to go home with you, that just leaves a bad taste
in my mouth. Mixing fortune telling with sexual manipulation seems really wrong to me. It is a
small part of this rather thin package, so easily ignored, but come on, really?
I do think
I will eventually make something of this, but it is more like a half-baked idea turned into a
product than a developed and tested system. For the money, I'd rather get an actual reading system
that at least looks like someone might have tried it out before packaging it and selling it.
