It's a learnable skill, you have to present yourself as an authority and be able to walk people through it step-by-step

So true, Gerry.  There are a number of premies who have sort of mimicked Rawat and either become "guides" "coaches" and organizational consultants through this method.  Just watching what Rawat or some other charlatan will give you the forumula.  I have no idea whether they actually help people, but the formula is basically this:

1.  You act like you have full authority and see things that the "confused" people being "helped," don't.  The skill here is NOT to understand what is going on with someone, just to act like you see more in the situation than they do.  In this process you never admit that YOU, the authority, is messed up or got it wrong, you focus on the problems of the other person(s).  This is Rawat to a "T."

2.  You use simplistic metaphors and stories to get your point across, basically, that the problem lies with that person (they are lacking insight, etc.), not with anybody else.(also Rawat to a T.).

3.  The end result is seeming to be helpful, just by getting people to focus on themselves and think about why they feel the way they do.
