I certainly don’t fit any of those groups, but still received the book in the mail in August 2008. I’m a 17 year old girl, still in high school. I tend to be socially and economically conservative. I read lots of books on all kinds of different religions and philosophies, but my faith is firmly rooted in evangelical Christianity. I don’t usually buy the books either. I borrow them from my church or other people. I had a history teacher two years ago who liked to attack the Christians in the class… The only magazine I’ve ever subscribed to is Seventeen (Probably not a target for people interested in promoting their philosophy). I don’t know of any Scientologists that live near me, but I think there are some illegals? Haha sorry. I don’t like the idea of being targeted by this cult/non-cult thing.

Weird, that I also received this book a month ago…I was very depressed and was about to break down. I went outside to grab the mail and saw this book addressed to me. I opened it and read a bit about it. I thought it was a message from God or something. It made me felt very different. It’s been a month since I received the book and I just began to read the first few pages. Then, I got curious and ended up on this site.

I don’t know like all the others why we all ended up getting this book, but I am going to read it and let whatever happens happens…

Thanks for sharing the all the information.

I recievied this book August 28th 2008 addressed to me, no return info. I flipped through it, as I am weary of ingesting just anything I come across- especially new age philosophies.

I am sincerely sorry for those misguided enough to find comfort in such a way of thinking. Making good choices and having good thoughts will not bring this result to you and a life of joy. Good people can make good choices and still suffer with a “joyless” life. To make it seem like a battle of good forces against “evil” might be a substantial note to make, but it’s not further elaborating on the external forces.

In general I found nothing profound or to my interest in the book. There is so much more to life than the ideas in this book. In my opinion, science is man’s attempt to explain works of God. Kudos to whomever for attempting to establish a moral code by shaky scientific reasoning, but it proves why such a thing is impossible to accomplish. It is only confusing people and diverting them from the truth.

To quote a revered theologian, “Seek truth wherever you find it”. The world is not subjective. And there is only confusion in this book.

For the record:
College student, 21 years old, no mail subscriptions, Christian, Texas, honor society Phi Theta Kappa, no idea how I got on a list….my only clue might be that I purchase a great deal of used books on Amazon.com. Anyone else do this? Maybe one of the sellers is connected to the publisher?

I am 17 and i found this book addressed to me as well. I subscribe to no magazines, attend a high school. Attending college as well. I give my address out to no one. I have no idea how they found me. No idea why i got it. I am interested in philosophy so i found it an interesting read. Curious to know more from this foundation of theirs… i”m a little nervous that they know my address and information. So I think that’s all i can say.

The truth behind Pro Evo. Recently my daughter was accepted to a major university, Aug 2008. Then shortly after that this book came in the mail. after reviewing the book and some of the subjects discussed I found that the science is questionable at best, as well it promotes a platform to confuse certain issues. As a technical consultant and having a background in marketing, this has all the trappings of someone getting a hold of a college or university's master list (this lists addresses and names of all students). This would give and does give all of your primary information. From this they can see certain factors like name, age, address, majors and even phone numbers. Then they simply just choose whom they want to target; sell the rest of the names and information and sit back for anyone looking to show interest. And the next thing to do is to find BB and chat rooms and any other places to "express" an openness to the "message" then try to engage them to spread their belief system. Its a chain letter concept that manipulates through social engineering by mere exposure. It plays on several concepts in sociology, and psychology. Then use pseudoscience to manipulate those who share a common belief "wanting to just unify the world". Oh and for the record, Joseph Haid a.k.a. Tomot OM, is his pen name he was an atheist hence the whole pseudoscience that was written back in the twentieth century. He died in 2001 and this is how they spread their message. He does not come right out at the beginning of the book and attack religion, he tries to use a dichotomy (when fallacy is used in an attempt to force or imply a choice)

Pro Evo Book was in the mail (Not sent to me). Much is vague other parts are bias. I figure it is some religious cult outreaching to the masses for new followers. I threw it in the trash with the rest of the junk mail.

I just received this book today. Like everyone else, I have no idea why I received it. I am a polisci major (and, coincidentally, had a very liberal/possibly communist prof), a social and fiscal liberal, and subscribe to TIME mag. I also recently worked with a local grassroots democratic organization for a healthcare referendum… In any case, I have skimmed the book and found parts of it both interesting and humorous.

My copy came today. How can one decline free food for thought?

I would fit in the “Older returning college student” though a bit North of 28 :o) Always careful not to register, and not a member of any organization.

Big fan of Amazon though, wonder if they know more?

I just received this book today, and it is probably due to the fact that I am a returning college student. Probably some sort of system in colleges that singles out older students, maybe some hippie in the arts department was smart enough to install a program that filters out students by age. Who knows, but I hope it a cult that knocks on my door so I can shoot them in the face for sending me this crap. Just kidding, but I thought it was my relatives that are very religious. Who knows.
