QuotePilotThis lady is an operator, she got her livelihood pinched back by miss katie and payback's a bitch, with this expose, she can pick up a few of her own followers with this little gem: "I call it shameless living" Engaging story. Clearly she is still in the biz. I guess this is the self-help equivalent of how any business would undercut it's competition. I saw

a quick word about this blog Byron Katie and Janaki First off, its good that someone finally stepped forward to give a little hint of how the sausage is being made behind the curtain, even from afar in Europe. The fact that she is still deeply emotionally enmeshed with Byron Katie, will probably make it readable for those deeply involved in the Byron Katie system. (every single one of t

Quotehelpme2timesPilot, I definitely feel differently since you have shared the link re Janaki's experiences with Byron Katie, which I did not know about.

QuoteThe AnticultFor example, there is that new link with some long story about Byron Katie.

Pilot, I definitely feel differently since you have shared the link re Janaki's experiences with Byron Katie, which I did not know about. Can you understand why I might have felt suspicious? I urge people to read Janaki's very detailed tale of her long-term (more than a decade) experience with Byron Katie. Once again, here is a link to it: [Byron Katie and Janaki] In Chapter 2
