Odd coincidence? Extremely bad luck? The Secret was just parodied on the most recent Simpson's.

Season 21, Episode 2. It's around 13:30.

For the tl;dw:
Bart gets Krabappel fired by boozing up her coffee. She tumbles into a spiral. Bart feels bad, and then Milhaus suggests he buy her a book called The Answer, which is supposed to solve all her problems.. It's obviously The Secret.

It aired Oct. 4, the day after "Spiritual Warriors" began...

If this is a premeditated joke by the people behind the Simpson's, they must have intended it simply to be funny to the New Age Community who might've been aware that one of The Secret's shills was having an important series of retreats concurrently.

It's only because people died that we all are in on the joke, too.

lulzy?

or tinfoilery?

Plastic Shamans...google them...this is just the latest in a line...hijacking native American customs for their own income. The grandfathers have rolled over in their graves...a bunch of white people sweating and trying to become warriors the same way Michael Jackson wanted to be white.

One of the links on the links page sounds eerily familiar...

Accelerated Healing
Accelerated Healing is a process of locating and removing negative and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, held in the energy system, holding you back from the life that you consciously desire. This process of healing helps guide you to your highest potential.

There is no sig.

Looks like scilon operation but I see the press release makes mention of Native American Indian rituals, possibly a front for scilon operation.

"It's natural Native American wisdom craft lore of the ancients, have you heard of L Ron Hubbard, he was an honorary Native American Indian you know?"

Or it could just be as billed, but with the possible connection to Hubbardism I suspect more than a little Hubbard influence.

OK. So it's not strictly Scientology related, but spookily familiar to those of us familiar with Scientology's quack treatments:

They should try a slightly less dangerous scam like selling spiritual firewalks to tofuheads and the Pointy-Haired-Bosses who want to build teamwork, corporate spirit, cull the weaklings. (Remember, there's no US in TEAM!)
The number of people who want to prey on the gullible with cash is like an everflowing bait-bucket.

Oprah's ugly secret: Oprah Winfrey sells self-aggrandizement as self-help | Salon Life

Gawd I hate Oprah! That stupid woman has no critical thinking skills whatsoever, and she influences (and is revered by) millions of other stupid couch potato females with nothing better to do than watch her dumbass happytouchyfeelie goodtime feel good about yourself idiocy.

Yeah, you can postulate/imagine/mock up/visualize wealth, happiness, love, luck. It's so much easier than actually working for it! Never mind that it's magical thinking and doesn't work.

Oprah touts this kind of generic self-help magic to the ignorant masses who, for whatever reason, believes in whatever moronic thing this stupid bitch is shilling for.

This is the same shit Scientology espouses. It's the same shit that a dozen other scam artists market. Only the buzz words are changed. It's the same turd from a different asshole.

Oprah allows her BFFs, Travolta, Alley and Cruise to spew crap directly into the eyes and minds of the afternoon talk show crowd. The fact that these people are at home, watching television in the afternoon should tell you something about her audience.

She's a powerful influence, coupled with being a selfish twat who doesn't care that some of the shit she's backing can ruin people's lives. She hasn't a care for that, she only cares about ratings.

She herself is a gullible dipshit.

We have over 9000 penises waiting to rape your kids!

Consensus

It's not Scientology, but it is exploitable. If we can confirm that the owner was previously involved in Scientology, we could write a press release that includes all the information, isn't inaccurate, and includes the scientology connection (with more emphasis than it's being given in the media right now). This could - and it's no guarantee - but this could spur some news reports to include that fact.

This isn't a silver bullet by any means. You're not going to take out scientology over these deaths. But every negative mention of the cult in the press is one more cut. If we can get Scientology mentioned in the same articles, that'd be a small win.

You messed with the wrong fuckin' internet, buddy.

'Sweatbox' victims were attending 'Spiritual Warrior' program - CNN.com

(CNN) -- The two people who died and the 19 others who fell ill at a central Arizona resort after spending time in a sauna-like "sweatbox" were attending a program by self-help expert James Arthur Ray, authorities said Saturday.
Two people died and were 19 injured after spending up to two hours inside this "sweatbox" at an Arizona resort.

Two people died and were 19 injured after spending up to two hours inside this "sweatbox" at an Arizona resort.

The dead were identified as James Shore of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Kirby Brown of Westtown, New York, Sheriff Lloyd Waugh told reporters. They were among the 50 or so visitors at the Angel Valley Resort near Sedona attending Ray's "Spiritual Warrior" program.

Nineteen others were treated for injuries sustained in the sweatbox, a dome-like structure covered with tarps and blankets. Hot rocks and water are used to create steam in the enclosed environment.

Waugh said investigators are looking into evidence that "may turn this into a criminal prosecution."

Investigators are looking into similar events held previously in other locations by Ray, who refused to speak with officers at the scene, Waugh said. A follow-up interview is expected to happen.

Ray's publicist, Howard Bragman, did not immediately return calls from CNN on Saturday.
Don't Miss

Ray posted a noted late Friday on his Twitter page, saying: "I'm shocked & saddened by the tragedy occurring in Sedona. My deep heartfelt condolences to family & friends of those who lost their lives."

On Saturday he posted another message, saying he's "spending the weekend in prayer and meditation for all involved in this difficult time; and I ask you to join me in doing the same."

The self-help guru is widely known for his programs that claim to teach individuals to create wealth through all aspects of their lives -- financially, mentally, physically and spiritually.

Ray, whose company is based in Carlsbad, California, has appeared on a variety of national programs, including CNN's "Larry King Live." In that appearance, Ray was about to address 3,000 people in Phoenix, Arizona.

Asked what he thinks about critics of his teachings, Ray told King:

"Well, you know, it's interesting, Larry, because any time a new idea comes to the fore, it goes through three phases. It's first ridiculed. Then it's violently opposed. And then it's finally accepted as self-evident, normally after the opposition dies."

Angel Valley Resort advertises itself as "a place to relax and heal ... where powerful earth energies are present and active." It was founded in April 2002 by Michael and Amayra Hamilton, both of whom are teachers and counselors there.

The resort is on 70 secluded valley acres 20 minutes from Sedona, surrounded by thousands of acres of national forest, according to the Web site. It has Internal Revenue Service nonprofit status as a religious organization, its Web site says.

"There are twenty marked vortexes and angel sites to experience connection with Earth and spirit, deep relaxation, and balancing," an online brochure says. "Angel Valley offers two labyrinths and an Angel Wheel for going inward, finding answers and getting insights."

No information about the sweat lodge could be found on the Web site Saturday morning, and numerous internal links were not functioning.

The use of sweat lodges for spiritual and physical cleansing is a part of several Native American tribes' cultures.

A traditional Native American sweat lodge is a small dome-like structure made up of willow branches carefully tied together and covered in canvas. Rocks are heated in a nearby fire pit and placed inside the lodge, and water is poured over them to create steam.

"We are curious to find out what happened there," Richard Moreno, a member of Pira Manso Pueblo tribe, told KPHO-TV. "I've been participating in the sweat lodge since the age of 3 and I've never recalled being sick from being in the sweat lodge."

Moreno told the station he has never been to a lodge that held more than 20 people.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
