My hunch is that the group of sensitive persons gathered by the guru may play an important role in generating potent experiences. When people are sensitive and possess a shared goal, this may create an incalculably powerful shared consciousness. They talk about this happening at rock concerts. Part of the virus importance is how he or she can gather this type of community together for much

Welcome to CEI, Windjourney. There's been a lot of crossover from the metaphysical scene into QAnon. Ditto with the wellness and yoga communities. It's like the Venn circle diagrams.
