History
Mohr believes that a person can simply write down their wish list and wait for it to become reality. However, this would appear to be a new name for ideas proposed back in 1937 during the Great Depression by Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich which sold into the millions, and which is still widely available. Hill's ideas were then adopted for Christianity in a most blatant manner by radio and television evangelist Reverend Ike, and then by a stream of televangelists such as pop singer turned preacher Kenneth Copeland; builder turned preacher Bob Tilton and even Jim Bakker of the failed PTL television empire.
Mohr's idea that individuals can use their desires to "connect with the cosmos" and make those desires become reality is a rewrite of the work by Napoleon Hill and others who have promoted similar ideas before.
