Hi Andries,

I used to ask myself what you were doing around here...

We discussed here a few times "spiritual rape". Many agreed that is how they felt.  I know that is how I feel. A therapist told me is a term used to define what some ex-cult members experienced, how they feel in regard to what happened to their spirituality,  RAPED and insulted by decades of lies. 

He heard what he was about to do in the WEST was wrong (Bob Mishler, his then right hand told him) but rawat was worried what he was going to do for a living.  how was he become rich and all powerful?  He purposly deceived our most intimate personal part, for decades, stripping so many of so much.  It is understandable to feel that what ocurred was spiritual rape.

Many become atheist after leaving the cult. Many became cynical to the concept of some "divine design"  and being part of it, even when nature shows so much perfection, beauty and variation.  Life can be just taken or it can be taken in such a wonderful way.  Many found a way to accomodate all when in reality, evolution does not explain TRUTH at all. Even the word TRUTH is for many something "silly", overused by the stupid gooroo; many are cynical to the spiritual experiences of others.  I used to myself make fun of those who spoke of having one.  I have changed my view on that.

I couldn't let a fat greasy disgusting being deny me of what I already had before I had the disgrace of finding him.  But of course, it is too personal to be discussed here and unnecesary and can only create frictions among us because everybody has their own agendas and their own needs.  Nevertheless, what this gooroos do is so very wrong as it is wrong for one to listen to them.  I wish I knew more at that age.  I understand today more why young Patrick threw a pie on his face in Detroit.  If I myself had the opportunity (thanks God I cannot today slap him with my glove, 1800s style and....:0 ) I would slap him silly if such a thing was permitted.  No way I would jeophradizze my liberties for such an asshole.  Is just a thought.  No threat. 

That is why he needs so much security guards around him and why he is so very paranoid.  He know what he did and what he is doing, the leach!  He knows he pissed off so many.  LOL 

Is like somebody got in the middle of your life - I was fine really, I was- and took you in the wrong direction without your permission by stripping you little by little of your capacity to be YOU, just because you put trust on him.

Talking about ultimate betrayal.... 

 I read a little from your link and this is so much the same as rawat said about the Internet. I decided to post it here, getting off the spiritual rape thing.

Sai Baba on October 15, 1999 said in a sermon:

"Some of the elders sitting at the Verandah are indulging in gossip; it is finding its way into the Internet. (…) Swami has nothing to do with the internet. Not only now, even in future also. You should not indulge in such wrong activities."[4]

A message he repeated on September 26, 2000 by saying “Internet is like a waste paper basket”, followed three days later, on September 29, by:

I have already told you about internet, radio, video etc. We have seen so many people who have been exposed to these media. But, what is their effect? All transient, passing clouds that come and go. It is an utter waste of time. It is all business oriented. That is not our aim. Do not hanker after Internet: turn to the innernet. Concentrate on inner vision.[5]

"They" don't want their devotees to think for themselves.  So obvious.

Henna, looking still for the matches... dang it!
