Looks like somebody wandering the various isles of the spiritual supermarket.    I'm not sure why, if he understands the inherently pathological nature of the guru-student relationship, that he went on to another "guru."  I guess because he's falling for the idea that "this one is different."  But Rawat says the same thing.

Anyway, this could have been written by the authors of "The Guru Papers:"

The typical Guru-disciple relationship is disempowering, setting one higher than the other. In truth, both are the same, as there is only one of us.

...a teacher whose ego is swollen from his own imagined stature, is of no service to anybody else, including himself.

Got that right.  This, is right on with respect to Rawat and premies:

I have experienced this first-hand in my relationship to Guru-Maharj-ji, who shows-up at his own events, mostly to put everyone else down in order to bolster himself...as you can imagine, that got old for me after twenty-seven years, although there are many "premies", who still drag themselves there in their attempt to not be responsible for themselves...

27 years of being "put down" and usurping responsibility.  These things happen, I guess.

The name "Marcello Berman" sounds familiar to me, but I can't place it in my memory banks.
