Peter Young is as far as I remember is Malay Chinese. He came to the UK as a supposed mental health nurse/carer in the eighties. This was an easy entry route at the time. Get the right paperwork and you were granted entry. Of course he had bigger ideas than that. Someone needs to ask Lama Bigdong about his dodgy porno video rental shop. This was located on the Coast road (Newcastle upon-Tyne) and

Fallout from an initially trivial event amongst C-list celebrities in UK has brought to public light the set of abusive practices now known as "gaslighting". This is very useful enlanguaging.

This is a revealing article excerpted from Prophetic Charisma: From the stories I've heard Peter Young tell about himself, this article about how and why people become "gurus", describes him accurately.

A couple of quotes highly relevant to the Pathgate cult from this webpage on The Difficulties of Emerging from a Cult: "If they have to start thinking for themselves they will have to deal not only with the pain they ran away from in the first place, but also the realization that they were being manipulated and abused by Castaneda for years as well."

Corboy notes on another forum that research shows how abusers get inside the heads of their victims: A destructive mode of projective identification is delineated: a predator's catastrophic attack calculated to cause the victim a stress disorder marked by a disarrayed identity. This discomposure enables the perpetrator to aggrandize a manifold inroad upon the victim's identity to imp

Thank you RRmoderator. I say this in response to Udumbara, but really it's for everyone to see how these sorts of statements are so easily exposed for what they are: I know about Energy.

It is often very difficult to accept an abusive cult leader is fake. One of the important steps in freeing oneself from their influence is to accept they are abusive. Here is there clear proof Peter Young is a dangerous fraud: 1. The Buddhist authorities refuse to acknowledge Peter Young. He claims to be endorsed by them. He is not. 2. Peter Young claims to understand Buddhis

Interestingly, since this thread was started and notified to groups linked to Pathgate, Peter Young has removed from the web all the email contacts of its groups around the world (including on their own websites).

The simple objective proof that Peter Young is not who presents himself to be is this: Peter Young claims to be able to teach Tibetan Buddhism at a very high level.

Recovery advice: Do not isolate. Spend time in groups of people doing ordinary things, groups where fear does not rule. You may begin to feel less afraid. You were harmed in the context of a diseased community. You lived in a community that was assembled,created by PY, a community of scared people. Domineering types such as PY is reported to be create groups biased towards fear.
