I posted about my unfortunate encounter with one of these " charlatons "( David Willmott  on the 19th Sep. 2004. 

IMO people who were " that way inclined " ( into control / power over others/  imagining they were "spiritually" superior and more " realised") were , consciously or not , quick to spot the sales pitch that the Guru revealed to them.

IMO there were probably other  Mahatmas/ Initiators/Instructors/ Facilitators who weren't simply duped ( like the rest of us ) but were  inspired for all the wrong reasons. It is irrelevant whether they were "official " or not as the "brainwashing" was often more intense and the harm that was done to their victims was the same or worse.

 I am pleased to say that ,as a result of that Post on this forum ,  I have been contacted by another "detainee" of this  person's unofficial ashram and we will be having some " cathartic" chats !

Save you looking, here is my previous post

Here is a little of my story re. Rawat. It is sad and very painful to go back over this

stuff and of course a long time ago.

In 1973 , when I was 19 , and four months after my father had suddenly died , I had the misfortune to meet a premie called David Willmot. He told me about Guru Maharaj Ji and the Knowlege he had received via Saph. He described Saph. as a real cool dude that he had hung out and smoked pot with in North London.

This man( David ) was quite a lot older than me and very ( I realised later ) controlling. I should have been going to university that September but he made me believe that that was a waste of time as the purpose of my life was to receive K. and "realise" it. Unbelievably he then co-erced me in to travelling to the deepest Norfolk countryside where he had set up an unoffical Ashram and where I was to "prepare" for Knowledge. at that time there were about ten inmates. We were only allowed to leave the farmhouse to go to work ( " humble" jobs - I was a mushroom picker in Cromer !) and then we gave all our money to David. All our belongings were taken away ( of course I never saw mine again ) and we all wore the same kind of uniform ( jeans and jean shirt ). We weren't allowed to visit our friends or family and he opened all our post before we received it. My hair was cut off so I would learn not to be vain..... and so on and so on....

I would say over twenty young people passed through his special brand of spiritual aid that I knew of....but I have only come across one since, at that time still trapped in premiedom , and one who wasn't. Did anybody else on this forum ever come across David Willmot or someone like him ( I heard he also changed his name....)?  

I ran away ( completely zombified... ) after receiving Knowledge ( from Ashok. at the Palace of Peace ) and spent a short time in Portsmouth Ashram which, weird though it was, was like a holiday camp after what had gone before.... !David didn't stick around for long. He moved to Scotland and then to his home town of Oxford and was never seen again.

All that and I still stayed around..........
