I've been watching recent posts, and your responses, with mixed emotion. 

It seems to me to be a no win situation for everyone, where everyone gets defensive and goes full circle, only to arrive where they started.  Having said that, it's highly entertaining to read

If a person chooses to stay in one place, then that's fine.  If they choose to not to use peripheral vision and to keep an open mind, then that's fine too. 

My hubby is a premie yet I have never had a problem with it and never really had the urge to 'attain knowledge'.  All I wanted?  To go and watch M speak live, to make my own assumptions and then go from there.  I like the way in which he speaks as it is simple and can be seen to be inspirational, but I can get the same kind of things in books and from other speakers if it is something that I feel I need to hear/read. 

At first I was pissed off that there were no public events at Amaroo for quite a few years now.  What made the premies so special?  I saw a certain cockiness to their attitudes.  Then I got pissed off when some of them told me that I would never attain true bliss until I had received K.  Then I decided to write a letter of complaint.  It ended up written in a diplomatic and, what I thought, spiritual manner.  My hubby delivered it at the recent event.  That wasn't a necessity.  I said what I needed to say.

The thing is, I was feeling all this frustration and anger and couldn't work out why, but hubby and I spoke about it and came to some conclusions.  Hubby said that he wouldn't be where he is today if it hadn't been for the past 25yrs of K, but he is in no way following it like a cult. (wouldn't hang around if that was the case  He is open but not gullible.  He is accepting but questions certain things.  He practices but his life does not revolve around it.  He kind of agreed with me when I say that it seemed to be 'same sh#t, different analogy'.

So, those 4 days that he spent at Amaroo did wonders for me.  I realised that K wasn't for me.  I realised that I was being unecessarily harsh towards his beliefs.  I realised that I make my own knowledge without particular ceremonies, philosophies, cults or because I'm searching.  I'm not.  I've found what I need and leave infinite room for growth. 

The reason, I believe, that people turn it into a cult is because they are desperate,  They can't survive if they don't have someone to tell them what to do, when to do it and how to do it.  Learn to be open, to take what you need, get rid of the crap and move on.  Don't be bitter, don't hold on to anger, don't hold it against the followers just because their 'master' is not all that!

And the funny thing is: when I had worked all this out, I looked at the back of a Library book by Wayne Dyer and saw this;

"That which offends you only weakens you."

So that's it!  M and K are not my cup of tea.  I don't get goosebumps, I don't get overly inspired and I have my own techniques and visualisations that get me to places that I need to go Thank you M for allowing me to find my own way - free of charge.

Peace
