The fact is, those people haven't made either of those two claims yet nor will they because they know that they can't. And that's precisely why those jackasses are just making themselves look out to be fools and idiots - the fools and idiots that they are!

You see, if ECMT is the same thing as yoga then it would've been the ancient yogis who discovered the energy factor and yoga must also reset energy factors in a person's mind. There's no getting around it. You cannot say that ECMT is the same thing as yoga unless you're prepared to also make the same claims about yoga as well. Consequently, because these two claims cannot be made, anyone arguing that ECMT is the same thing as yoga is just making themself out to look like some gigantic fool or idiot.

On top of that, Attreau recently pointed out that even the one argument that those nitwits do make is in actuality that argument's own best rebuttal. You see, whereas yoga might've been defined as the restraint of thought, ECMT is not. ECMT is defined as energy control or, more specifically, the resetting of energy factors. While some forms of yoga might be all about the restraint of thought, ECMT is all about energy control and the resetting of energy factors. If any restraint of thought occurs while performing ECMT it is only as a consequence of performing ECMT correctly; it is not the technique itself, though. Nor is ECMT's mindshutdown yoga's restraint of thought. The two are entirely different. Consequently, when you say that yoga was defined as the restraint of thought you're stating right up front just exactly why ECMT is not the same thing as yoga.

"Even the one argument that they do make makes them look like fools and idiots," Attreau said.

Nor for that matter does Attreau's ECMT focus on breathing pattern or incorporate the use of a mantra or any physical contortions like yoga does, making the claims of these people all the more ridiculous.

Attreau goes on to point out that you won't see these intelligence-challenged morons ever make any mention of the energy factor:

"To do that, they would be doing something that they've tried so desperately not to do and that is mention something that is actually said in my book. Up to this point in time, the people who have been trying to mislead the public have very carefully tried to dance around mentioning anything that's actually said in the book. They know that it's a very interesting book and to do so would just pique the public's interest in the book. Consequently, what they do is just look for something that they can quote out of context, which is essentially all that they're doing with their claims pertaining to mind shutdown," he says.

The problem is some of these ignoramuses haven't limited their remarks to just the casual and misleading quote out of context. Some have posted what have clearly been malicious and deliberately misleading lies about Attreau's book "The Fabulous Energy-Control Meditation Technique and more..." For instance, one sick-minded lapdog for yoga who claims to have borrowed a copy to read posted a review of Attreau's book on Amazon.com that contained the following insane lie: "It was just the author rambling about not eating red meat"

Attreau's response: "People who tell lies with the delberate intent to mislead the public are insane in the purest essence of the word. Hate me if you want, but don't hurt the public, for crying out loud."

Any way you want to slice it, there's no rational way to gloss over the behavior of these birdbrains. Behavior that has all the characteristics that's typical of individuals who appear to be running scared. Behavior that has not only resulted in these dunces making gigantic fools and idiots of themselves in public but in some cases losing their sanity as well. Attreau has some advice on how to deal with these kind of people: "Just mention the energy factor to them. I guarantee that'll shut them up real fastlike."
