In that respect, I would encourage any one of them to invest in Jack's tapes or any other number of other videos and CD's available today.

Just as it seems, it is your opinion they CAN learn from the internet and written words and they really need only listen to you.

I have noticed that there are some people who want to learn but there are certain individuals who want to pontificate. These individuals never seem to have a question, but they always seem to have an opinion on every single issue that comes up.
To those who want to learn, I encourage them to ask questions, but with the understanding that without visualization it is indeed difficult to get a meaningful answer.
To those who want to teach (but don't want to learn because they think they have all the answers), I suggest that perhaps they in real life they don't have any real people to teach & that's why they resort to the internet.
