Self Help comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from September 2013 to September 2017.
New Age Manipulation and the Self-Help Trap
The segment critiques the modern "New Age" movement for reducing alchemy to purely symbolic or psychological self-help. The hosts suggest that this perspective may be a form of disinformation funded by elite institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation to prevent people from exploring the literal, scientific applications of mind-matter interaction.
Physics and the Critique of New Age Manifestation
Bandler, drawing on his background in physics, critiques the New Age movement for using vague terminology and failing to provide practical "how-to" steps for manifestation. He argues that reality operates by rules, like the melting point of gold, and that "manifesting" requires building strong beliefs and taking action. His book, "Using Your Brain for a Change," is presented as a manual for optimizing human assets rather than simply "repairing" people.
