Not having been foolish enough to pay for such "techniques," I couldn't say for sure. If I were to guess, I would imagine that the Return On Investment was similar to that of the TM Sidhis (which cost $5000 or so, depending on when/where you got them) compared to the $5 paperback copy of the Yoga Sutras they were taken from. Using the same percentage (0.001%), that makes the "million dollar techniques) worth about $1000. > Ot perhaps you are the fool. Very possibly. I did pay 5000 bucks for something worth 5 bucks, which definitely makes me a fool. But I learned from that experience, and stopped short of paying 1 million bucks for something worth a thousand...if it's worth that much...
