I can't put into words how dark these examples of the psychological harm Prem Rawat inflicts on his followers are. Few things better illustrate the harmful intransigence of "leave no room for doubt in your mind" when it comes to anything having to do with Knowledge and Prem Rawat. They remind me of Christians so hell bent on clutching their mustard seed that they've psyched themselves into knowing that god really did create everything in six days. They even built a theme park to show what he did each day. Oh, but when it comes to anything that might threaten their theme park - their wholly contrived and inflexible knowing - out come the absurd doubts, preposterous rationalizations and desperate theories: "supposedly from - hans, i (sic) didn't sound like him at all" "Online and on FB anyone could be anyone - we don't even know if people are who they say they are!" No, couldn't've been Hans. Must be an impersonator with an ax to grind. Someone so evil that they'd make-up a story about Prem and Marolyn sexually abusing their own children, pretend to be their son, and comment about it publicly. They obviously made-up that transcript of that supposed family conversation that never happened, too. (And please don't forget other such things that were said that I can't even repeat.) Then off they go, like the indelible poster of cult members in a circle frolicking in an open field scattering flower petals all about on a sunny day:  "Stick with the joy of being alive... stick with the Divine who we know for sure." Ordinarily, I'd feel a deep sense of sadness and empathy for their condition because I was there and I remember how tight its grip was. But these tragic circumstances are different. These are but two of many hundreds who will surely join the circle, and we certainly haven't heard the worst of it. Unlike the eye-witness accounts of Prem Rawat's procured women, extreme alcohol and nicotine consumption, sadistic physical abuse of followers, insatiable greed and the rest of the smelly list, this one shatters the facade completely and places Prem and all those who shamelessly continue to promote him and raise money in his name - including other family members - on the list of all time great grifters: Knowledge to them is nothing more than a means to their desperate and morally vacuous ends. Thank you for quoting 13: "What will they say if they hear his voice or see him speak? AI? Maya? Lila" A test? under the grip of his wife and a band of ex's? All of the above?" I'm sure it's all been said and I'm sure there's more to come. Modified by lakeshore at Fri, Mar 08, 2024, 13:21:14 |
