I remember these videos too. My take on the strictly controlled viewing thing was that any 'normal' person experiencing the manifestation of surrender and devotion exhibited by these speakers would be out the door in two shakes, and to let this thing out into the world at large might bring down unwanted attention, or judgement, on prem rawat.
The weepy thing is hilarious too. When I was 'graced' to attend a 'training' event, Valerio Pascotti in charge ( or I think he called it facilitating - ha!), there was one part where, with everyone sitting a circle, each person had to get up, and stand in front of each of the other people, one by one, and say 'I will not judge you'. As if this weren't funny enough, just before the off, Pascotti placed a box of tissues in the centre of the circle, and right on cue people started to weep. I have never figured out any reason for them to have wept except that by this point they had reached such a degree of suggestibility that this obvious gesture by Pascotti, towards weeping being the right thing to do, proved enough to create the effect. It was all very sick and very sad. I regret now that I did not challenge the whole thing with a, 'yes you will, because you're programmed to judge everything and everyone - it's the thing that prevents you falling into the hands of unscrupulous exploiters', but I hadn't quite reached that point at the time (though not far off).
Sandy Collier, one of the bods in these videos, is so far gone, I'd put money on her never coming back. Someone told me they shared a hotel room with her at some event and her continuous weeping and wailing left them feeling very disturbed. Ugh! just thinking about it is enough to throw me into a panic attack. And this is what we should be aspiring to? Whoever said LIES (and I think quite a number did) was so right. Whichever way you look at it, whether they know it or they don't, it's all lies - and they are specifically targetting young people now - people that are most likely to be in a vulnerable and troubled stage in their lives - just like we were.
