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:
“I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
