MrLipid's detailed review of the Wild Divine products - very informative.

Every reviewer reaches the dreaded "Been there, done that" mentality sooner or later. Requests for you to review the latest hard drive utility or antivirus package seem just a bit ho-hum. The thought of having to delve through the newest barrelful of useless, bloated features in an office suite becomes enough to give you night sweats. And assuming you can even get the makers of a game like Unreal Tournament 2K4 to give you the time of day, who really wants to read your review, anyway.

So I went looking, and was delighted to see a tiny review for something that sounded more original than anything I had heard of in years ...

"The Journey to Wild Divine trains people to think and feel in new ways. To be more creative, more imaginative, and to inspire to a much larger awareness, one that is superbly equipped to deal with the complex changes of modern life."

"The Wild Divine is helping to transform our mass consciousness to one of peace and harmony through a very practical program that allows people to get in intimate touch with the innermost core of their being. To know that they have more power than they have ever realized, to know that they can influence what is happening in their body, in their mind, in their emotions, as well as in the world that they create everyday."

"The Journey to Wild Divine takes important stress-reducing elements necessary for general good health, and wraps them into a form of entertainment that can easily become a part of day-to-day life and can ultimately lead to long-term health benefits."

"The Journey to Wild Divine is more than a game, it's a tool for the Mind-Body work we value. It certainly has proven so with me - and it's a hit with my patients. It's an outstanding product and since it's amazingly inexpensive, I encourage my patients to use it as home practice. It's complex and challenging enough that no one has gotten tired of using it."

"This enchanting game is like having Yoda in your living room! It trains you in mind/body/spirit magic. Become a warrior of the heart, learn to harness the power of your intention, and create a conscious life- all while having fun."
