There is also the 'reality' slant to Knowledge, which often comes up in satsang.  That the past and the future are related to imagined reality, or unreality, and the 'actual' reality is this absolute present moment, is the doctrine here.  The techniques are the tools for reaching this 'real' reality which is synonomous with God, the Life Force, the Creator, or what you will; the unreality obstructs this process in the form of 'mind', thoughts about the past and the future.  The problem is that the past and the future are very much reality.  The present is impossible without the past and the future (try having a conversation without employing memory).  And this present that is talked of, isn't this the illusion?  That at the 'point' where the future becomes the past, somehow, God exists. In fact, however, at that point nothing exists; the 'point' is an abstraction.  Prem Rawat is, of course, terribly confused about all this; he's even tried suggesting that 'Nothing' is the goal of practising Knowledge, in other words that he is propogating a complete negation of life.

I agree that Knowledge is all about devotion to Prem Rawat.  It is sold to the lost and the lonely as a love that will never let you down - unconditional love.  Of course unconditionally loving a crowd of people you never even pass the time of day with is easy.  Who said, 'I love humanity, it's people I can't stand'?  Well whoever it was, the sentiment could very feasibly be attributed to Rawat.  By the same token, the lover who only exists in your imagination as the perfection of the species, one whose bad habits and unsavoury characteristics you are never confronted by, is the ideal lover.  Consequently (and perhaps sadly for some of us) the illusion of perfect love is broken when we realize our perfect lover is a consumate playactor.

Remember too that Rawat was expounding on the glories of 'This Knowledge' way before he was shown the techniques by his master.
