The American Monk

By a super weird coincidence, after I had discovered Burt Goldman's amazing quantum jumping website, a friend of mine referred me to the guru known as the American Monk (http://www.theamericanmonk.com), and it turns out this guru is none other than Burt Goldman! I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Burt Goldman isn't a one trick pony and it would make sense that there would be a lot of steps to attain a level of enlightenment to discover something like quantum jumping. It seems clear to me that Burt Goldman is trying to reach as many people as possible by combining facets of established mysticism that he has acquired by traveling all over the world and learning from respected masters.

The thing to remember is Burt Goldman is 81 years old, so pretty much anything he does besides get his drivers license revoked and dying is a testament to the power of his wisdom and abilities. However, the only thing that I don't understand offhand is why neither of Burt Goldman's websites refer to each other. It certainly seems like you'd be helping people twice as much while doubling your chances at reaching people. But I'm sure Burt Goldman has a good reason and I get the feeling that his wisdom is above question, especially from someone like me.

On a side note I've noticed over the years that masters of certain arts of mysticism really hate it when others, like Burt Goldman, dilute cherished beliefs by creating their own hodgepodge hybrids mysticism. Sometimes masters take it personally and do something about it. For example, some claim that Bruce Lee was killed by the mystical chi powers possessed by Chinese martial arts masters for teaching their arts to westerners. I certainly hope that Burt Goldman hasn't incurred a similar fate by petty and vengeful maters. But I think it's a valid concern. And maybe, just maybe those vengeful masters are so evil, petty and vicious they'll seek to kill all of Burt Goldman's students too.

So while I appreciate everything Burt Goldman has done and is trying to do I think the risk of mystic vengeance is just too great to get involved.
