has... if swamig has had a similar shift into this condition, or is she just putting on a performance and recycling all the Hindu spiritual theater she learned in India?
I hope the Thought Police allows this post & Holly's response.
This forum is well monitored for good reasons. It provides a safe place for people to discuss cult systems and processes, how to recover from damages, and how to avoid them altogether. Many members have been harassed and threatened by cult members for posting critical comments and reviews when they did not do so anonymously.
It is not a place for people to promote gurus or defend their cults. The minimum understanding has to be the
WARNING SIGNS regarding cults. After that, it's good to research the archives on the Rick Ross website for all the extensive information on cults in general.
I for one, appreciate the monitoring which allows for serious critiques of questionable "spiritual" opprotunists. Sites critical of one leader or another have been cyber attacked, it's owners sued, and other sorts of nasty stuff. At least here people can anonymously testify and get more information about one cult or another.
Regarding evidence of "realization" based on behavior, this is not enough. Gurus can live the act for years. They may not reveal the worst for decades. Usually it is too late for followers and even their children who have given over their lives. They are the penultimate performance artists discovering (realizing) as
KUMARE did; that people create their gurus as much as gurus create themselves.
Better to be armed with information on how cults work. That you will get on this forum. The "thought police" do not exist here, however, the overseers of this forum engage in critical thinking and monitor it to protect its members from
TROLLS.
