Poor Michelle! My heart goes out to her. It makes me so angry. I have
long advocated that these cultist, un-regulated meditation groups
should be brought to heel to protect the vulnerable from their so-
called "enlightenment" mind-control practices.
Please tell your friend Michelle from me - every cloud has a silver
lining and she could yet turn this to her advantage. I have Lionel
Hutz
J.D's number and I'm sure he would be delighted to take on her case on
a no-win, no-fee basis and sue the arse of the irrsponsible course
leaders. From her winnings she could perhaps afford to treat
herself to
some counselling at http://knappfamilycounseling.com/.
Poor Michelle!
Michelle unfortunately is in retreat and cannot be reached! I'll be
sure to lose, uh, share your message with her...
Here is what her partner had to say about the retreat leader:
"We’ve been blessed with an extraordinary teacher. Alan embodies the
wisdom and compassion that these practices are all about, and
combines a unique blend of deep contemplative experience (with the
Dalai Lama as his root teacher) with deep scholarship, Eastern and
Western (see bio, here). Having Alan as a teacher’s a bit like having
a Nobel Prize winning physicist -- who also happens to be profoundly
kind and generous -- as your Freshman-year science tutor."
