It was actually about two or three years ago that I first read one of your articles on your "old" web-site. And it was from this that you encouraged me to seek out and purchase Robert Fritz's book 'Path of Least Resistance' You are right! Outstanding .... and because of this book I bought his other book 'Creating!'..." -- Dr. Ian Mac Donald, N.D. (6-19-2000)

"Dear Mark,

I'm taking Frederick's advice regarding inertia, and beginning with small steps. I've been reading info from the site for the past year, and its time to put ideas into action....

I suppose this is not much of a testimonial, but I just wanted to say thanks for putting up the site and providing such interesting possibilities." --  Antipodean Exile (5-18-2000)

 "I've spent literally a dozen hours or more over the past week reading information from your web site. This has got to be the ultimate for information on real FREEDOM." -- Jeff R.

"I just discovered your site and I must say it is truly impressive. There is just so much junk on the internet, your site has the most "content" I have ever found. I'm looking forward to many hours of reading your report series, and checking out all your links. Yours is definitely a site worthy of being "bookmarked" and I will return to it regularly. Just a fellow freedom lover who would rather not give out his/her name." -- Name Withheld

"For many years, I lived my life as a freedom advocate and an entrepreneur without any real idea how to put my ideas into action. Discovering the materials at www.buildfreedom.com has been a revelation. My personal "freedom quotient" has advanced considerably, and my business success has skyrocketed. I can say without reservation that buildfreedom.com is the most practical and rewarding site I have found on the entire Web. Keep up the good work." -- Chris B.

"Your site is a great accomplishment and I hope you are having an effect of making people think." -- Todd B.

"I recently found your Web Site. It's extremely educational. I study parts of it daily." -- I. L. M.

"Just recently discovered your site and wanted to tell you how terrific it is. I very much look forward to reading (and hopefully to begin implementing) the freedom-espousing ideas that you present!" -- James M.

"This is just a thank you spam (I'm sure you get your share), I've been reading the reports on Build Freedom, and they are a crystallization of a lot of the mind set that I've been trying to establish in myself. The information is becoming part of my toolset for my goals, and I would just like to thank the man who pioneered the information, and assembled it for those proceeding along like paths." -- Sean T. Wood

"Your writings are profound and enlightening. Do you happen to have one single book which encapsulizes all of your wisdom concerning individual freedom? Of course, you already have a wealth of information available. I've recently gotten into mind-trek.com and buildfreedom.com. The report and book references appear as if they will take a lifetime to read and (especially) assimilate." -- Richard S.

"Thanks for the web site though -- I've already located a copy of the book How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. I like your attitude too about building freedom vs. fighting tyranny. How inspiring!" -- M. W.

"For the past few years, I have been involved in trying to change the political system for the better. This endeavor has had its predictable result...Then I found your web page...and I just wanted to write and tell you what an incredible WHOOSH it has been. I intend to spend the entire weekend buried in all of your reports." -- S. L.

"I've been reading the various Buildfreedom.com reports. This is powerful stuff! Keep up the good work! I'm new at this, but I plan to learn the ropes." -- Sadaka

"I was always looking for the highway to freedom and success; the day I first visited BuildFreedom.com I found it." -- Sir S.F.P.Koopmans <PK@4u.Net>

"I've really enjoyed your articles. The three BF reports* I mentioned in my email to the LRT** really changed me in a profound way. I'm looking forward to your coming debate on Monday. I don't know if I'll be able to add anything to the discussion but hope to be further enlightened!" -- Jim Morris <nosacredcows@juno.com> <http://home.onestop.net/nomad>

"So, how did I discover my own "freedom?" Well, I wouldn't exactly say that I discovered it. I would say rather that I had it pointed-out to me. Pointed-out to me primarily through my reading and re-reading (over the last 24-months) the Build Freedom Reports, Build Freedom News, the DeRivaz Hallucination (DRH) Debates, and certain posts and threads on the BF and FWO lists. And, though my comparing of the "DRH-free" writings of Mr. Frederick Mann with the (for-lack-of-a-better-term) "hallucinated" writings of certain individuals, the Neo-tech writings, my own former "hallucinations," and my own life experiences...

"Through having realized my own "freedom," I have developed the ability to think in terms of individual human beings. In other words, only individual human beings possess the power of volition. For example, I automatically translate sentences such as "government must do for people what they can't do for themselves" into "people must do for people what they can't do for themselves" - an absurd sentence.

"As a result of the thinking processes implied above, I've re-acquired that youthful inquisitiveness, joy, and innocence that I had between the ages of 2-5 years - that same inquisitiveness, joy, and innocence I see in my 4 year old son everyday (all humans possess these feelings - and over time these feelings get suppressed or expunged by others - wouldn't you agree?). I feel younger and have more energy. I have purged feelings of "guilt" and feelings of "unworthiness" from my mind. I HAVE UNLEARNED WHAT I'VE LEARNED. (Changes in diet and homeopathic medicine have also played a part in increasing my positive attitude and vigor). I'm 33 years old and not since age 5 have I felt so alive." -- T. Spooner

"I have very much appreciated the ideas I've learned about through the BuildFreedom.com web site and the various mailing lists about building personal freedom." -- J. M.

"I have never heard of you before, but have been reading through the Build freedom website and it is amazing. Thank you for one of the best websites I have ever seen." -- Adam Bishop

"Dear Frederick,

Although I've technically paid money for most everything I've received from you (eg., reports, newsletters, Irvine seminar, etc.), I cannot help but feel a debt of gratitude toward you for everything you've either directly or indirectly caused to come into my life through your materials. This letter is a token of my thanks and appreciation for the marvelous and exciting changes I'm seeing both in my thinking and in my outer circumstances.

I first ordered your materials from your ad in the April or May '94 Libertarian Party News. Something in that ad really grabbed me! I think it was, for the first time, having the real possibility of practical freedom available in my life NOW. From the start, a major theme of yours has always been the absolute importance and necessity of "PERSONAL POWER." Although I always felt I understood what you meant by that, recent revelations in the last couple of months within myself have convinced me that my understanding had been primarily intellectual. And that's fine; change always begins with theory. But now I'm starting to EXPERIENCE the literal meaning of those two words; that "personal power" is a certain feeling of security, confidence and expanded possibilities and opportunities not seen or understood before. [Emphasis Added] I cannot help but repeat ideas and phrases that have appeared in your materials from the start. That as one gains "personal power," the "terrors of the tyrant" begin to lessen. All of a sudden those things you always thought or suspected would not be possible to do (amongst other things, too dangerous!), are now solidly within the realm of possibility. You see more clearly how to arrange your life and affairs advantageously in ways that "Big Brother" most probably will not be able to (cannot?) do anything about - if in fact "he" is even aware of what you're doing. All of a sudden the truth of this realization opens up tremendous possibilities for not only, as you've always put it, "making a fortune" (which most certainly is a type of freedom in itself), but for me, just as significantly, SIMULTANEOUSLY weakening the tyrant in a way that is VASTLY MORE EFFECTIVE than casting one vote, i.e., "bleeding the tyrant" by channeling resources out of the "loop" that the tyrant has created. From my viewpoint, a definite WIN-WIN situation for all "women and men of good will!" Frederick, what can I say; the major themes that you've been repeating all along have PROVED to be true!

...The last day of March was my last day of working for someone "in the system." Now I get to look forward to the fun and excitement of looking for those individuals of good will that are open to be shown how they too, in a relatively short time, can gain a level of personal and financial freedom that up till now they've probably only dreamed about (if that)! Like many people, I've more or less been spreading the message of the desirability of freedom all of my adult life (I might add, for free). And that's been just great and a lot of fun and satisfaction and I intend to continue. But now I can show people what they can specifically start doing IMMEDIATELY to significantly increase their freedom in the present. And I'm being offered a potential fortune to do it! Now that's "the power of knowledge!"

Also significantly Frederick, through you I found out about Scope International and the writings of W.G. Hill. His writings have helped greatly expand my views of the world and the freedom that's available NOW for those who are ready, as "the mysterious writer J.E.T." said, "to seize their freedom." I highly recommend his writings! It bears repeating, "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER."

My hat's off to you, Frederick. Keep up the good work!" -- David T. Smith
