My husband is in Masterpath. I've put up with it, thinking since he's an adult, he can choose this if he wants. But, it bothers me. It seems like a scam to me. I worry about a Jonestown-like situation, or that Sri Gary will decide that his followers need to give him all their life savings.
Also, it's all very secret and it seems like it's coming between my husband and me.
I've read about Masterpath on this and other sites, but I've found nothing definitive to either ease my worries or convince me to get my husband out of it. Any advice as to how to handle this? Thanks.
Hello Viola Barry,
I would worry for the indoctrination part, not for possible future financial losses...
My ex spouse followed a female Supreme Master whose teachings stem from the same school Sri Gary Olsen comes from, meditation on the Divine Sound and Light. It is an ancient path.
This school preaches that a spiritual master should never accept any kind of money from the disciples. The would only take donations, given voluntarily.
Yes, the method is traditionally secret. Meditators put their thumb into their ear and meditate in squating position to hear the Audible Lifestream. If you picture this position, you understand why it is so secret ;-))
I do understand that this ideology becomes an obstacle in your marriage. I lived this trough and I lost the love of my life to the Divine Sound and Light path. If you wish to keep your marriage and husband, my best advice to you is unlimited tolerance. I hope you can take what I could not.
Good luck in your efforts,
I feel your pain,
