Yes shamrock, you are right, Mooji did deal with that young woman quite skillfully. He shut her up in the same way so many men shut so many women up. What a dick! He couldn't bear her aliveness and openness and honesty. He shut her up by making his audience of sycophants laugh at her so they could all crash back into their turgid sleep

I agree with much of what you say Mary Lou. I sat with Ole Nydahl long ago in London. I went to him because Bhutanese friends were very positive about him. I liked Ole. I liked sitting with him, but I was too lazy to follow his Ngondro ways. I saw the value. I saw the value in the hundreds of centres he and Hannah opened in countries where teachings were limited and repression of the individual w

Kawa Lhundrub, two years ago you said Ole Nydahl was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Now it sounds like you are making entertainment out of that. Watching a stream of someone is quite different to being in their presence. I think Ole Nydahl, as with all ageing beings, is worthy of more respect.

Christopher Hansard will do nothing legally in the UK as he knows that the Sapphire Unit of the London Metropolitan Police have a number of statements concerning him on record as do Witness Against Abuse in the UK.

Sparrow and Autumn, thank you. It is always useful to read contributions from Hansard’s pre-bon era. I think you will find that the weird mental states that people experienced were more to do with being spiked with herbs than walking in circles. CH had no qualms about dosing unsuspecting patients with marijuana. I know he spiked me with far more powerful drugs – probably magic mushrooms. A

The therapy world is silent. That world knows (it is inconceivable that it should not) and stays silent. The naturopaths and chiropractors of London know. The homoeopaths and herbalists of Calgary know. There is silence from the ex-apprentices. There is silence from the business partners, publishers and lawyers. This silence is astonishing and horrifying.* ‘Violence against women and girls c

Please permit me to direct your attention to a letter published here: It is a tragic letter. For me all the more so as I met the author a couple of times many years ago.

I also recognised her vulnerability and authenticity, qualities that he especially liked to take advan

Back to Black. May I recommend a journey back to pages 74 thru 78 and the days of ‘Frank Black’ and his alter ego ‘mediatoruk’. They reveal a lot about the techniques used by Christopher Hansard and his ‘advisors’. ‘Frank Black’ starts off with a ‘rope a dope’ routine. The aim is to gain the trust of posters and lure them into revealing themselves through direct contact. This doesn’t work a

Christopher Hansard tells us that: ‘according to the Bön (pre-Buddhist) Tibetan tradition in which Christopher was trained, a person of his quality comes along only once every 700 years and is known as a “Lha-Khu” - a Thunder Being, an incarnation of the energy of medicine. Described as a bolt of lightning because he possesses a powerful energy, he is considered an awakener of consciousness. H

real-name-gone you use the term ‘flying saucer man’ to describe jeff bowe (p105). The only other time I have seen this term used is by someone called davron on sceptics.org.uk.

Chris_Farmer, it seems that you do have more interest here than clearing your name and establishing yourself as nothing more than a freelance web designer working on behalf of ex associates of Christopher Hansard. It seems that you are now here to defend Chrstopher Hansard, albeit indirectly by challenging Jeff Bowe. Perhaps it would be more helpful if you made your defence of Hansard clearer.

Chris_Farmer, I agree with others that it is unfair that your responses to Jeff Bowe’s questions on his blogs have disappeared.

Chris Farmer, for all I know you may well be the completely innocent and well-meaning administrator of the tibetanway website.

Hello again James. I think you’ll find that Christopher Hansard holds everything in contempt if it does not centre on him and his personal gain. I don’t think that the products on the ‘tibetanway’ website can be termed ‘standard herbal stuff’. As mentioned previously, the ‘tibetanway’ range is exactly the same as the range Hansard was selling. You can confirm that here: In my experienc
