Criticism
Cosmic Ordering has been criticised as "nonsense" by the Right Reverend Carl Cooper. He describes it as goal setting dressed up in spiritual language. He also distinguishes Cosmic Ordering from intercessory prayer, noting that prayer is not "divine room service".
Cosmic Ordering is satirized as "Space-star ordering" in the "Something Happened" episode (Season 4, Episode 3) of The IT Crowd. In the episode, Douglas Reynholm joins the "Spaceologists" and makes wishes to the stars for what he wants. His wishes for a helicopter and the ability to do tattoos come true because he buys himself a helicopter and a tattoo book, while his wish to have a metal hand comes true because his self-inked helicopter tattoo becomes infected and leads to the amputation of his hand. Douglas uses the successful fulfillment of his wishes to try to convince the IT team to join the Spaceologists.
Cosmic Ordering has been claimed by TV celebrities to have actually helped them. Big Brother (UK reality TV series)winner Brian Belo claimed Cosmic Ordering helped him win the 2007 show.
UK TV presenter Laura Hamilton claimed she used Cosmic Ordering to get a place on Dancing on Ice.
Self-help author Stephen Richards claims Cosmic Ordering changed his life, when he changed from being in poverty to becoming a millionaire.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
