| Prem Rawat's deceitful bait and switch |  | ||

Something I never hear premies able to address is how Rawat is deceitful and always has been in the way he "sells" his cult. The fact is he has always done a bait and switch on people and he still does. Rawat tells people that they could have this ultimate experience of knowledge and that you just have to be "ready" and if you are, you could freely have it, so, for most people who received knowledge, the question was "why not?" especially back in the days when you didn't have to listen to 100 hours of deadly boring videos first. The problem is that what you later found out from Rawat was that if you wanted to have the "REAL" experience, which you obviously didn't get when you received knowledge, given that it was a big bunch of nothing for the most part and became just boring meditation after the novelty wore off -- you had to have his "grace" to get it. So, then you had another choice. Do you dump the whole thing at that point, like many people did, or do you dive in a little further and try to surrender and get the "grace" to actually have something that might be the ultimate experience? Maharaji/Rawat, to premies as opposed to "new people," then said shit like this as part of the bait and switch: "This is what we all want to achieve, this is all we want to get, And I'll tell you something - it's not very difficult at all. As a matter of fact, it's one of the most easiest things you can do. It's easier then driving a car; it's easier than to pick a flower, it's easier than tying a tie, it's easier than any of these things. It's the easiest thing. But to get to the point, we need one thing, and really bad; and that's Grace." Prem Rawat - Denver, May 1974 So, now there is this new requirement for people who had gotten this supposedly free and no-strings experience. It isn't enough just to receive knowledge and have this supposedly free experience, now you have to have the grace of Rawat, whatever that is and to get it you have to surrender to him. And, besides that, Rawat said that if you don't practice, not only will you not get the ultimate experience that you must have his "grace" to get, bad things will happen to you, something that wasn't disclosed before you were induced into "receiving knowledge." He said shit like this: "If you don't practice this Knowledge, you will get rotten inside. There is so much energy contained in this Knowledge, just imagine how much harm it will be able to do you if you know it, but do not use it properly." So, now, you are stuck with a catch 22. In order to leave the cult at this point, you not only have to give up on the idea of having the ultimate experience, you also have to risk becoming rotten inside. The only way you could reject the cult at that point, is to turn your back completely on who Rawat claimed to be, and that basically what he was saying was full of it. That could be hard thing to do at that point, especially for a young person, who is surrounded by premies, and who sincerely wants the experience and wants to have "faith" in a supposedly divine "teacher." No wonder many of us got sucked into staying for years. It appears to me that it's Rawat who is "rotten inside," for pulling this kind of crap on people. Have you ever had a premie try to explain this? I actually think it is one of the most damning things about Rawat, and, as usual, he, and the current cult members, just pretend like it didn't happen, or isn't important.
Thanks once again to the www.prem-rawat-maharaji.info website for explaining this so well. Notice the deadly silence from the cult and the premies about that website? Speaks volumnes about how effective it is.
