Can’t Recommend Breakthrough Experience
Dr DeMartini has developed an approach to self awareness and self improvement that is worthwhile to study and definitely contributes something to the field. Theres an effort to integrate quantum physics or non dual theory to his work. However there are at least two major problems to his Breakthrough Experience seminar. First, is his personality. Sadly he spends an inordinate amount of time bragging about how famous he is and how much money he’s earned.I don’t know if he’s insecure or narcissistic but it’s on full display throughout 2 days of lectures. His respect for billionaires is boundless and without examination of how their wealth was accumulated or how they treat their employees or the public. That might not be a problem except that he also claims to have integrated a spiritual aspect to his approach.He doesn’t explore or discuss a possible contradiction between a high drive for money and wealth and a spiritual perspective to life. Second, he often states that he has a good sense of humor- which is always subjective of course- however his humor involves a great deal of sexual innuendo. I am not a prude but I do believe that there is a time and place for sexual innuendo but that a high cost professional lecture isn’t the appropriate forum for sexual innuendo. Instead I recommend that if you’re interested in his work, you buy his book or listen to a podcast.Sadly I cannot recommend his Breakthrough Experience workshop.
