Power of the human mind?

[Andrew Isaacs]

So, I stumbled upon this article as I was getting caught up on my weekend news. Apparently 21 people suffered second and third degree burns at a Tony Robbins seminar in SF during a motivational "crowd participation" stunt last Thursday.

Of course, I'm sure there's more to the story. There always is. But, I'm curious about the BP constituency's reaction to this. Is this a case of guru-gone-crazy or an O-ye-of-little-faith problem?

Its a case of an improperly prepared bed of coals. The trick to firewalking is the coals. Properly prepared the coals are burning, but covered with a layer of ash. The ash is an insulator and keeps your feet from getting burned. There's to "power of the human mind" or any such mumbo jumbo involved.
