Ol' Freddie seemed to be quite a control freak and is said to use divide
and conquer to control his minions. Not someone worth emulating or
channeling.

I was wondering what you would think of this all - just happened to
see it on someone's facebook page. I sort of looked askance at that
hypnotism business too. Thanks for giving your take on this.

*/I think I missed the part where he got "fucked over." It sounded to
me like he ran into someone charismatic, fell for their spiel, and now
years later is trying to find some way to pretend that he didn't make
the decisions he made.
/*
*/
/*
*/For the record, some of the things he says about "Randy," his
teacher, and his over-enthusiasm to "recruit" him as a student may be
true. I had already *stopped* teaching new students (except to give
free intro lectures) at that point because the Rama guy had taken all
of the fun out of teaching for me by making it almost "competitive."
Really. The schtick was "Find 12 students, get them to sign up and
then take them on as your 'apprentices' and I'll give you a spiritual
name."
/*
*/
/*
*/My response was, "Big whoop...I've already got a name, thank you,"
followed by "Well! , that's certainly icky," so I had nothing to do
with teaching any of these guys. I gave intro lectures and if anyone
was interested in learning more, I passed them along to the sanest of
my friends so they could take over their 'apprenticeship.' /*
*/
/*
*/Basically, I disagree about his premise that he was "hypnotized."
Except in the sense that he hypnotized *himself*, aided by a guy who
fed his delusions. As the guy himself says, "Since we walked in
wanting 1) to be special, and 2) for life to have some magic, they had
us, whether we saw the gold or not." He and his girlfriend hypnotized
*themselves*, by falling for the first charismatic person who promised
them both #1 and #2.
/*
*/
/*
*/For the record, what this guy Jim Piciarello leaves out is his role
in things once he'd decided to blame the decisions he made on "having
been hypnotized." He started working with cult deprogrammers from CAN
that were sicced on him by his parents, in an era in which the term
"cult deprogrammers" was synonymous with "kidnappers."
/*
*/
/*
*/The only way he touches on this aspect of his "cult experience" is
when he says at the end "I ultimately got out with help when my
concerned high school friends and family joined forces, did the
research on how to communicate with a cult member who cannot think
critically, and engaged me in a peaceful intervention." He fails to
mention the part where he later *joined* these deprogrammers and got
paid by concerned Rama students' parents to kidnap their adult kids to
"rescue" them, earning up to $10,000 a pop for his services.
/*
*/
/*
*/He also leaves out something even more essential IMO, which is that
the cult deprogrammers who recruited him so effectively that he wound
up working for them took advantage of the same naivete that Rama had
-- they told him he was 1) special, and that 2) his life would be
magic if he helped to kidnap his former associates. And he fell for it
again, having learned nothing. /*
