In Yoga culture "ego" is only a dirty word for the minions, see the gurus want the flock docile and their egos get in the way of that. Now for the Guru, he is excused from following the Yamas and Niyamas and can engage his ego to the fullest extent possible. If he wants to fornicate like Hugh Hefner and extort money from his followers and hurt merely for entertainment purposes like Iyen

Run don't walk away from Cunov. This guy is another predator/con-artist/NLPer in the mold of Carmine Baffa and Ross Jeffries. He preys on weak and insecure men and their inability to get dates, etc. See the pictures of all those foxy ladies he has as coaches, etc? They are desperate man bait to make you look past the $2500 price tag for some watered down NLP/Speed Seduction garbage and

Indeed Wilber never apprenticed under the Bad Boys he so extolls. Being a recluse and ersatz academic and theologian of the New Age, he had little time for that. But he has no problem urging others to join up with these monsters who supposedly practice "crazy wisdom" He certainly doesn't care how many lives will be ruined by his proclamations. He is not one to care for anyone

I just viewed The Integral Movement video. And it is a very slick and very deceptive piece of advertising. Very little truth lots of hype, lies and half-truths. Fraudulent would be a good label. Indeed there are very few men and women scientists, thinkers, and artists associated with it. It's mostly a watering hole for tainted psychologists looking for a new racket to make money off of. To m

Integral Spirituality is a morally bankrupt and mentally deficient movement. It's founders and promoters are at best damaged people that no one should look to for spiritual advice or instruction. It's also clear that many of the leading lights are morally bankrupt and adamantly refuse to condemn even the most atrocious behavior of their compatriots. Not just once, but time after time

Looks like Lerner is another enabler and protector of Cohen, the fact that he condenms those who critize Cohen is really telling - the man has no moral or ethical compass. Mr. Lerner is no friend of the truth nor a protector of people no matter how he promotes himself in such roles. He should be considered a liar and con-artist. As far as the mutual admiration society of so-called spiritual

When Ken Wilber gives a guru his seal of approval and even pimps for him, the guru is bad news. Wilber never promotes non-tyrants and/or con-artists. First it was Adi Da, Trungpa, Coen, now it's Tolle and Genpo Roshi. Here's what he says about Genpo Isn’t Genpo Roshi about the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen? It’s not just Genpo as a human being and as an Enlightened human being. He

Interesting, Genpo's 'Big Mind' Method is a variation of a old NLP method called a "Parts Party" and it's newer cousin "Core Transformation" but with a real sick twist, Genpo is actually creating another sub personality and have them halluncinate satori in the process. Normally this doesn't work well, but when you have a big name like Wilber and cr

Hi Ziggy I looked at their websites - both old version and current. The old one reeked of being a cult recruitment site replete with students all wearing black clothes. The current site is so vague a person would have no idea what they are really about. Just a lot of vague new age nostrums and platitudes that any prospective will read in the meaning they want. Two other warning signs: &q
