Vicki, I spent two years writing a book on the subject. If you're not
willing to START the process by reading--not even buying, just
reading--that book, I doubt you're interested enough in what I have to
say that anything I did would make an impact on your growth.
If your question is honestly about how you can read Virus of the Mind
without paying anything or asking anyone for help, I suggest you go to
the nearest Barnes & Noble, where they will be happy to let you plop
down in one of their comfortable chairs and read the whole book cover to
cover at no charge.

Sometimes.

No. To get out of the box requires a leap of faith. The world is also
full of cranks and charlatans asking the same thing of you. That's one
reason it's so difficult to make the transition. Anyone who gets burned
once is reluctant to try again.
I'm not sure what "money" you are referring to. I haven't asked you for
any money.
