So, in other words, you realized that everything I said about your mentor is true, that he is in fact a total hypocrite guilty of everything he condemns others for. Except that you are too proud to admit that your ignorance has led you down a stray path, so you resort to irrelevant responses because you could never actually admit that you were wrong about an obvious fraud.
Your defense mechanisms in this respect are childish and unhealthy. Why don’t you quit bullshitting yourself and everyone on here and actually respond to what I initially posted instead of resorting to more insincere attempts at flattery? Do you have anything to say at all in defense of your mentor, or was my initial suspicion that you actually agree with me after thinking about things a little bit completely accurate?[/quote]
No, I just think its sad and telling of your personality that you’re trying so very very hard on an online forum. If you had legit questions for me you would shoot me a PM. It’s the same shit I told Roybot. I’m not here to win anyone’s approval or validation.
Also that was no flattery. I seriously would like to meet you in person to see if you really are as high, mighty and seemingly confident as you claim to be online. Chances are you aren’t and you know it. And if you WERE a truly strong individual who was completely happy with himself you wouldn’t feel the need post all of this in response to this thread.
Now you’re probably going to launch another novel of a response making counter-arguments for every one of my points in excruciating detail with the aid of your trusty pocket dictionary. Go for it. I won’t even respond any more. Like I said you have actual questions for me, send me a message and I’ll be more than happy to chat. Otherwise keep doing what you’re doing. It’s quite entertaining.

That’s just being evasive. Asking you to post how you’ve benefitted from the vids is as legitimate a question as you can get when you felt strongly enough about the vids to start a thread about them. Something must have happened in YOUR life to make you want to post them, but when you’re asked for your experiences, you clam up. PMs will not make it any more legit and if you keep refusing to share your experiences on a thread that you started on how Arash has enriched your life, I wonder why you even bothered.

Dude, he is going to start nut hugging you soon now that you’ve given so much attention to him

I never PM anyone for answers to questions. I asked you in a visible forum and there clearly are others on here who are interested in exactly how you could fall for such obvious, self-serving bullshit. So if you have any responses to the questions I’ve asked you, post them here for all of us to see. If you have legitimate counter-arguments to my assertions, then what is your fear of posting them publicly?
As far as my personality in person, it’s different than it comes across in this thread. But that’s because I don’t have people showing me asinine videos made by self-help gurus looking to make a quick buck off of people gullible enough to fall for his shit. Trust me, I would have exactly the same response in person if I was subjected to the sort of drivel your mentor is shitting out of his mouth.
If YOU were a strong person who is completely happy with yourself, you’d say something like “I don’t care what you think. I like my mentor and your opinion of him means nothing to me.” Which would still be total bullshit. You DO care what others think. That’s why you paid your mentor to enlighten you in the first place. You want others to think that you’re “indifferent” toward the opinions of others because you have too much self-confidence for that sort of thing.
The fact of the matter is that you aren’t intelligent enough to justify your faith in this mentor character in the face of my arguments against him and his “philosophy”. The fact that you think I use a pocket dictionary when I post proves it. I haven’t used a single word in this entire exchange that isn’t part of any 8th grader’s vocabulary, and yet I’ve apparently left you with the impression that I use a thesaurus in order to sound halfway intelligent. I also type fast and am quick-witted, which is why my posts are usually of abnormal length. I have thoughts that formulate quickly and I type them out equally as fast. It doesn’t take more than a few minutes for me to produce my posts. But only a “unique lemming” would look at the length of them and assume that it takes a lot of time and effort to type this shit out, because that is what it takes for you to type something of substance out and then post it. Which is why you aren’t answering simple questions and are being evasive.
Furthermore, even if I WERE to PM you, you won’t respond and you and I both know it. On top of that, on the off-chance that you did respond to a PM of mine with something substantial, I’d just go ahead and post it on here anyways for all to see.

Great, but I really don’t give a fuck. The fact is my life is getting better and better. Congrats to you and your immense level of intelligence, keyboard warrior.
One other thing, Seph. You say in your initial post that your mentor’s video is guaranteed to get people talking and thinking. You forgot to indicate that you were referring to everyone but yourself. I’m thinking and I’m trying to “talk” about this subject. Why aren’t you? Isn’t that what you guaranteed would happen? I didn’t see anything about PMs in your initial post. It seems to me that once you realized there would be legitimate arguments and counterpoints to all the drivel your mentor is puking out you decided to hide behind the whole “PM me and I’ll respond” facade. If that is what your intention was, why did you even post this video in here to begin with? Why didn’t you just PM it to everyone instead?

And, uh…yes, you DO give a fuck. That’s why you posted that video and encouraged discussion about it. Of course you give a fuck, or you wouldn’t have posted that video in the first place. You also give a fuck because you said you weren’t going to respond to me, and yet, here we are again.
Obviously I’ve struck a nerve. How much of your hard-earned money are you paying this guy to puke all over you? How much money are you blowing on these weekly seminars?
I doubt your life is getting better and better. Remaining stagnant at best is what I suspect. But whatever. You FEEL as if your life is getting better and better as a result of your mentor’s teachings. That’s enough for me. So…WHY is he making your life better? What improvements have you noticed?
seph89 - Your mentor is decidedly not for me. I personally have no desire to debate the relative merits of his philosophy with with you, but others obviously do.
It seems to me that when you post something like this on an open forum you are implicitly inviting discussion/debate/argument. That is generally the point of this sort of a board IMO.
You are bringing a set of opinions to the table and then refusing to openly discuss/defend them. This seems odd to me, but like I said I’m not that interested.

Was your thread just an advertisement?[/quote]
Not at all, but yes I am putting it on this thread for people to see.
There’s no point in not opening up unless you want people to think this is an advertisement for Arash. Unless… you secretly hate him and this is an attempt at reverse psychology to make people hate him? But then again, semi-long words apparently baffle you, so I might be giving you too much credit.
Seriously though, how has this guy actually made you life better? If you, the glorious beta male nuthugger, can’t explain why his life is better for having this guy in your life, why would anyone be interested?
On top of all that, he probably brews his coffee with a ten-dollar piece of shit machine he bought at Walmart. That little fucker thinks he’s so cool. I’ve got news for him. There’s a dark place in DarkNinjaa’s purple fucking pussy waiting for that rabies-infested little cocksucker.

It was barely background noise. Hardly offensive. Don’t tale things so personally and be someone you are happy with. Wow. As for banging models, I don’t want too.
Man, am I glad I clicked on this thread. Awesome material in here, sorry not the videos -I was in the 10 seconds crowd but probably because I’m old and decrepit and gave up a long time ago.
Pet peeve: it’s fazed, not phased like you got shot in a Star Trek episode.
DB Cooper: we had our run-in 'cause you’re a 49er homer and therefore lacked objectivity but you are funny as shit so I apologize posthumously (I think I misspelled that and used it wrong but I refuse to use my dick-tionary, hehe)
Spock: I find it creepy because I’m so much older than you but I found you adorable as hell also. My .02 -try some martial arts-type stuff, lots of guys and lots of “interaction”, especially in the grappling skills. The ones that are bad at it are probably the ones you want to befriend though. Trust me, I know.
I agree with Joe, because us Over 35ers have to stick together.

Sure I’ll go ahead and let you all in on how Arash has helped change my life for the better.
I train martial arts with Arash at his academy. He has become my teacher and mentor when it comes to life, not just martial arts.
Being around him and studying/training with him, I have first off developed a much greater sense of personal truth in my life. There is much less bullshit about me, if any at all, meaning that I don’t live for other people or seek out their validation and approval to the degree which I (and most of the world) used to. This change, though it may not seem like much, as taken my confidence through the roof.
I was already a very social person but the fact that I deep down cared about the external instead of being internally driven, held me back a lot when it came to social interactions (even though on the outside my social machinery appeared successful).
Anyways from there I have become much more socially intelligent. I can go into any job interview and NAIL it, because of my perceptiveness and ability to read others so well. I believe anyone is capable of this by the way, BUT there can’t be any internal struggle. In other words, your mind can’t be racing with thoughts of the impression you are making or how X behavior and Y comment appears or sounds to other individuals around you. If that is the case, then how do you expect to be receptive to what’s going on around you?
There’s lots more I can go into but most of it really derives from the points I have mentioned above. I’m comfortable and okay with myself and my improved confidence has led to much more rewarding social interactions, one of which has ultimately led me to an amazing new job which I couldn’t be happier with.
I’m sure there will be lots more comment and critiques but like I’ve been saying…I really don’t care. Words can’t change the fact that my life has improved and is constantly improving. And my CHARACTER, by the way, is NOTHING LIKE that of Arashs’. A lot of you have been looking at his outside appearance and speech and making quick judgement from it. The truth is that he is passionate in what he teaches, be it martial arts or inner game, and the CONTENT that he provides is golden. He has inspired strength in me which has led to an amplification of MY OWN personality traits and qualities.
