Hoshun – Bullshit and You
WARNING: If you don’t like big boy words, don’t read this article.
“A man of integrity, sometimes has to take a risk.”
Yesterday, I took a risk. I spoke candidly about Joe Vitale’s new “hoshun” doll. I think it’s bullshit. I wonder if he’s lost his mind. I really hope not.
What it all came down to is this:
“The world needs what the real Joe Vitale can offer – with integrity. Not bullshit like hoshun.”
“Hoshun” is a PRINTOUT – of a magic doll, that Joe was given while recently touring Russian. He says that it is another cleaning tool, that will help make your dreams come true. Bullshit. Bullshit has hit the fan.”
At some point, shit began to hit the fan, and people started saying bullshit smelled like roses.
Attention: “Shit hit the fan.”
Not just with “hoshun” bit in the world in general. I wrote about that on my blogger blog if you want to read that article, click here.
Time to take a shower, to hose off, to get rid of the shit that has been holding you back. In other words, TIME TO WAKE UP!
So, to get the world, you, your kids, your bank account out of the crapper…
The world needs a few things:
1. Leaders. Will you be one of them? Will Joe be one of them who makes a REAL difference?
2. Producers. Pepole who produce what matters, not more bullshit.
3. Leaders who inspire and educate producers. Self explanitory.
Is Joe Vitale a leader? You bet. He was a leader in writing great hypnotic copy, and doing stunts that got MEGATONS of attention. Right now, I am concerned about the kind of leader he has become.
Is Joe Vitale a producer? Sure is. He’s written more books than I can count, he’s written more books than many people have even read. Many of them will change your life for the better, if you apply the lessons he shares.
But the question I want you to ask… isn’t about Joe. It’s about you.
Are you going to LEAD AND PRODUCE in a way that REALLY MATTERS?
Look, we need people who can build businesses, who can teach marketing, who can inspire others to do the same. We need REAL CHANGE, not more bullshit.
Look what people are selling, and buying, Magic Fucking Dolls.
Another cleaning tool? Hardly.
Shit has hit the fan.
Time to clean it up.
Mr. Twenty Twenty
If you benefited from this post, feel free to buy me a cigar.
I am with you on this one 20, we get distracted by stuff enough as it is – if I get distracted I want it to be worth getting distracted – ie please make it substance not bullshit.
Leadership brings with it responsibility.
Thanks Brian!
I really want to focus on Positive Possibility here, and I feel we can make a difference.
I really appreciate your comment, support and YOU being you.

Was really surprised by this turn of events, especially after the JAR scenario. It’s interesting, yet sad to watch those at the top of “their” game being held accountable by the very principles they live by and promote. “To whom much is given, much is required.” Never let us take that truth for granted. The bigger we become, the harder we can fall. I love you Joe and thank you again for telling us about The World’s Most Unusual Therapist almost four years ago. I am cleaning…..

Hi Jimmy,
Thank you for the comments and the share. A comment in Joe’s article disturbs me, about his ex friend missing out on wealth, because Joe can make the products with someone else. Joe isn’t the source of wealth, only one of many channels. The Divine is the source, and you can’t bullshit the divine.
Note: That wasn’t intended for you Jimmy, just a comment for the readers.
Thank you for commenting mate,
Mr. Twenty Twenty
Hi Jimmy,
I have watched a number of great teachers rise, fall and occasionally rise again. I watch myself, grow, shrink, and grow again. I hold all of them in love, and focus on the positive. (And I still enjoy the occasional use of the word bullshit.)
Mr. Twenty Twenty
Thanks Brian,
Way too much BS and way too little solid gold in the world.
I always appreciate you being upfront about where you stand, when we agree or disagree. I always know where you are on an issue. That’s a gift to me.
Have a great day!
Twenty Twenty
Look at Paul Reiser with all that hair! Great video, 2020. Great to see Dudley Moore again.
Love you Mr Twenty Twenty. Hopefully all of us can get a little clearer via these exchanges re what is going on that has impact on all of us and the world at large. Things seem to be moving at an ever increasing speed………………..

So Joe needs money. Everyone send Joe a quarter then he won’t have to push this crap.
The whole “Secret” thing, starting way back in 1956 with Earl Nightingale’s “The Strangest Secret In The World” has always been about being an inspirational and motivational tool, to help people grow.
I think we need to remember, the teachers of “The Secret” are individuals, each with their own agenda and were only brought together as examples of people who had used the original inspirational material to bring about huge and lasting changes in their own lives.
Okay, a lot of these people are spiritual marketers and have something to sell and the video has helped them grow their personal wealth over the past four years since its release.
The problem for people who make large amounts of money this quickly (and remember, I have been around this all my working life) is they believe it will go on forever.
One has to start to wonder, when a man starts taking such desperate measures, ones which seemingly go against his own spiritual values, if the bubble has burst and he can barely afford to put the gas in the Rolls.
Perhaps the free eBook didn’t go as planned and people didn’t flock in droves to buy the hardcover?
Perhaps they did?
Perhaps this is pure meglomanic greed?
Who knows…
Do you think Joe has put himself in the shoes of the desperate person shelling out their last forty bucks for a computer in image clawing onto the last straw of hope?
This is not a product aimed at the marketers is it?
It is aimed fairly and squarely at the vulnerable and it exploits their vulnerabilities.
And that’s the nice version of what I think about this.
If you want the dirty version, head over to Dharmaville on Google groups.

I like you!

Excellent blog posting. Need I say Joe Vitale is a dilemma. He produces more products than I can keep a track of, it is like product differentiation and milking spiritual cash cow with a guerrilla marketing style.. Create something for everyone. And then persuade them to buy. Easy money for him. Production costs are next to none, and good residue comes in.
From advanced point of view, it is silly to think that a hoshun has any power whatsoever. The power is within, not outside..just like you pointed out.
It says on Joe’s website that this hushon is also a cleaning tool.
Excuse me, a cleaning tool? ..well, that’s one thing I have always had a problem with. Joe Vitale has promoted with plenty of attention the Ho’oponopono technique. What I can appreciate about the technique is that it promotes the fact that I AM 100% responsible for everything in my life and the cause is within. Very cool – until the suggestion is made that I should use this, that, and the other cleaning tool (external things). It is like, excuse me? What the heck? Am I not 100% responsible, and how all of sudden these external objects have some power over me. Nobody has been able to explain me this aspect.
Cheers Twenty …
Good pickup and way to go for having the balls to kick ass with this!
You know whenever people are duped into something that puts the power outside of themselves, all of humankind looses, the whole planet looses …
Unless of course it’s caught and the bullshit is illuminated for what it is … and then we all get to wake up a just little bit more …
Si.
Pat & Joe are awesome people who have turned my life 180 from where it once was… yet a print out doll and some audios, it has me disappointed. At a certain point you are selling lottery tickets to the poor, creating the infamous poor tax. By the way I now have 5 different Hoshun images, created w/ my graphics program… hehe…
All change happens on the inside. External tools (such as this hoshun doll) are only that. Tools. Like the “prayer clothes” or ” Christ Crosses” (made out of a tree that the fictional historical Jesus allegedy slept under) merely tools.
The object to awakening is to ultimately internalize ALL external technology. Everything we humans do and create is some version of an internal technology. For example, automobiles. We all KNOW how to levitate and teleport, we just haven’t “remembered” how yet. Telephones. We all communicate telepathically with everything on this planet, we just haven’t remembered how to do it so that it’s practical. And here’s the biggy. External authority. Politicains, police, judges, school teachers etc… All are a hoax. We are our own highest authority.
Think about this. If you have the ability to vote (which I gave up on long ago) for men who create the laws (you know, the ones used against YOU) and these men create jobs filled by men (acting as police and judges) who can arrest and incarcerate you for breaking those laws that the men YOU voted for created, it stands to reason then that YOU have that ability directly does it not? You could arrest. You could adjudicate (and I have) because it’s YOU and your power that put these people in place.
So, everything we create is already within us. All the way from the new car you desire to the need to be controlled. The object is to eliminate ALL third party interlopers. Discuss.
Hey Twenty..
Awesome! I love what you wrote.. It reflects much of what I have been thinking lately.. Hugs, Blessings and much prosperity to you my friend!
Aymee
I love this Twenty! Thank you for STEPPING UP AND SAYING WHAT EVERYONE IS THINKING BUT IS NOT BOLD ENOUGH TO SAY!!
As you always say Boo Yah! (did I spell that right!? LOL)
However, I personally, have another insight into this seemingly dubious new product offering:
Joe and Pat, no matter how beloved they might be, are definitely operating under the “loco spell of Hoshun”.
FACT: Joe goes to Russia, is given secretive magic doll. Joe stares at secretive magic doll daily (he thinks it is inspiring him…. ) Secretive magic dolly begins to take over Joe’s mind and make him see visions of “copies of itself” being made and disseminated to the masses. Secretive magic doll Hoshun gives permission for Joe to “rake in the bucks” with the “Hoshun images” because Secretive magic dolly is not stupid.. it *knows* Joe will make, market and sell like a madman if he sees the money!
The plan is now complete. Joe is so full of visions of Hoshun he thinks he IS Hoshun! He sells his brilliant idea to Pat. Pat creates the music (knowing most Vitale ideas make big bucks) Joe and Pat have put in place the marketing tools.
** Hoshun’s plan to take over the world is now officially underway!**
Coming soon! Hoshun- A- Vision!!
A Hoshun image will appear LARGE on a website (http://HoshunPower.com) after people pay $27. They will be able to stare into the one pupil of Hoshun imprinting their desires upon his Secretive magical self. Results (or your very own personal blindness) are guaranteed!
I’d better get busy …
I love Ace’s comment above. YES ALL IS WITHIN US.. and Ace, many are remembering. I use telepathy daily as well as instant manifestation.
YOU GET WHAT YOU BELIEVE. If you believe it possible, you have it in your life. You cannot have what you don’t believe exists or is possible. This goes from illness to money to telepathy to time travel.. etc. The true Being that we are is unlimited and unbounded by time/space. What we experience is that “Being” bounded and limited by the programmed and accepted beliefs running in our minds (our real computers).
I’m off to make my Hoshun Power website (see above)…. I am under the spell of Hoshun…….. his eye is calling to me….
Amy Flynn – I agree… He stared at the doll and got idea to spread it far and wide to make more $$, while the doll was controlling him. We can get together on the Hoshun Power website. I have the image created already.
The only purpose of the doll is really a representation, & as such anything could be used. A small metal cross on my neck is to remind me of my beliefs even if they have changed. yet I could assign anything those values.
So I want my wish to come true… well first I need to stop procrastinating, but see that’s internal something a piece of paper can’t do. Yet I can write on a Sticky “Commit to your work” I can have a cute little snoopy doll to remind me to believe in miracles. But seriously for a tool that cost $37, I want an actionable tool. For $27 I bought a cool program that that reminds me regularly of my schedule. Less money and actual tool… MJ
Thank you Kathy.
We all do our best.
Hugs to you,

Hi Sami,
Your post inpsires me to make a distinction.
There are cleaning tools, and there are cleaning products.
Let’s say that I Haleakala says “corn” is a cleaning tool. He’s the man, so in his system, corn is a cleaning tool.
But if he starts selling corn, then corn becomes a cleaning product.
Anyhoo….
I am a bit more old school, “I love you” contains it all.
It even contains the other 3 phrases.
Hugs mate,
Twenty Twenty
Thank you Simon!
Hugs and love brother!

Hi MJ,
Pat and Joe are wonderful people who HELPED YOU to turn your life around. They may have provided tools, inspiration, data.
You did the work.

Mr. 20/20,
I love Joe as a good friend and have watched him grow over the years and write some incredible books and help a lot of people. That doesn’t mean that he’s immune to drifting off into hokey-ness, which IMHO is what a print-out of Hoshun on your computer is.
You are bold, my friend, you tell it like it is, you pull no punches, and that’s why I love and trust you so much.
Blessings,
Todd
Hi Todd,
I love Joe too. We are all human, and can get tempted, get lost, and get forgiven and get found. He’s a great guy, like me, like you, like the readers.
It’s my hope that this helps him remember his core, as well as everyone who reads it. I’ve been exploring how to be more authentic and how to help people grow into their power, especially as I write this episode of life out.
Hugs and love to you Todd. Thank you for being you, real, honest, and sharing your wisdom and music!

Was this a serious promotion? Since it was promoted on Halloween, I just thought it was a little tongue-in-cheek thing they were doing. I didn’t take it seriously! LOL
Hi Martha,
So far, they haven’t claimed it was a gag.
Maybe it’s a gag that Joe and Pat haven’t claimed the doll is a gag??
Maybe somebody should tell them!!
Whoops, I guess we just did!!
20,
Nice call
Noticing the distinction between a superficial pursuit and an authentic connection.
thank you for the voice and vision,
Dan
It is bullshit. I found a free image of hoshun at cafepress,saved it,cropped it and printed it. $37 for that image is crazy!!
God whatever next.. I feel sorry for JOE and PAT that is total crap and everyone knows it. If people buy that damn doll they are idiots!
