Yes, really.  I just watched this again and it kind of freaks me out.  The part of the Passages video when these very same people lie through their teeth, down below,  makes me angry and indignant.  I mean they are just lying about factual reality and I know it's false. But this part just freaks me out because each comment is completely subjective and I cannot say that the person isn't experiencing or believing what they say they do..

I really have to say, with one or two exceptions, I think these people are not lying or pretending, they are saying what they actually believe to be true, and they do feel some kind of emotional attachment to Rawat.  They also really believe he is the source of good experiences they have had.  I know this, I also used to believe it.

I mean, I see how you could look at what they say, and how they say it, and think, "hell, I should give that a try."  I mean, it sounds great, doesn't it?  And it was the same thing that got me involved as a premie in the first place, and although I don't think I was ever that gushing, I used to say the very same stuff, for years, when I was a premie.  That's really the only reason I'm not impressed by those devotional statements. 

Two of the people I do not believe.  One is Ron Geaves, I mean I just do not buy, and consider completely disingenuous, his statements about how his life is the very best he could possibly imagine, that if he had one wish it would be to do it exactly the same, etc., that I think is a big, made-up lie.  He's just saying it for effect, and the superlatives just give him away.  He is just an over-acheiver in the prending to be blissed out department.  I mean, I don't even believe he believes what he's saying.

Gallwey I also don't believe.  His agitation and shifty eyes relay dishonesty.

But the others aren't engaging in hyperbole like Geaves, and they aren't squirming and fidgeting like Gallwey, they seem to just be experiencing an emotional attachment (which they interpret as "love") for this guy Rawat.

Now, they are all x-rated premies, not ordinary premies, and I don't know if that is a factor, but it is major creepy to me.

Comments?

Doesn't this freak any of you ex-premies out?  I mean doesn't it hit the old buttons?
