 Grooming the spiritual ego, is John Douglas teaching his “elite” people to 
channel?

 John Douglas seems one thing as an adept but would one want just some 
layperson who has paid $100,000 to be with John Douglas to lay hands on you?

 I recently took Cohen’s interview down, because I had taken down another two 
interviews by a rather popular Advaita teacher whom we discovered (through 
credible feedback from the victim) had drugged and raped a girl between her 
ages of 14-16 when he was 40ish, back in the early ‘80’s. His students were 
complaining that it was unfair that I had taken him down and left Cohen up. I 
had done so because what Cohen had done wasn’t illegal, and was also well-known 
now.

criminal. But this is the United States...

 
 I always thought that Maharishi was wise to establish his base in Europe. You 
never know what they might have found even on him.

My 2 cents.

More Satanga,   “Spiritual egos..They are feeders, they are particular 
narcissists, they need the energy of others for validation. They don’t have 
much. Their spiritual identification is about the ego.  That is the level of 
their identification spiritually. It isn’t Self but it, the identification has 
sufficient juice. 

 So this guy has the ability to give these people these very flashy experiences
 that have embedded in them extremely pleasurable bliss experiences.
 This is very very bad.  People get excited, people did.  
 So people give themselves over.  By the nature of the bliss experiences people 
start
 abdicating power.  Yikes!”

I was thinking of Andrew Cohen and neo-advaitas you have had on batgap.  You 
kind of gave them their ropes to let them hang themselves.. A lot of spiritual 
ego by example.  

 This more recent thing I didn't get the name on.  The people sitting around a 
table at Revelations were being real guarded to not get anyone in trouble but 
it was an active concern of theirs. I was just listened some and asked 
questions a little and wrote some notes. It was interesting spiritual satsanga.

The process described is like what is taught in "remote influencing" as 
researched by people like Ingo Swann and his students as well as 
researched by the military.  And they warn against it because one could 
accidentally take on the bad traits of the target.  A lot of this stuff 
is actually very simple but people would have never thought to try it.  
It's true use was to help someone, generally helping them feel better.


These methods were not part though of my tantric training which used 
siddhis.  Influencing there was only to be used as a defense method.

 In some of the discussion here on FFL it was pointed out that narcissists will 
fall down when their practical performance in life is actually looked at. 
..That organizations or groups can protect themselves from the ND’edPerson by 
having clarity in missions, job descriptions and performance evaluation. ..the 
bigger the narcissist the harder the fall that can come.  

 Performance is basically what turned the president here out in that case. What 
were more formative values to the group guided and prevailed in the process by 
looking at all the metrics of performance. It became pretty clear that a change 
of leadership was needed for the essential survival of the group.

FFL gave throughout in their critique and takedown of the ‘spiritual’ 
ND’edPersonality. Some of that insight was helpful in the process that brought 
the change of leadership to the University here. 

 In some of the discussion here on FFL it was pointed out that narcissists will 
fall down when their practical performance in life is actually looked at. 
..That organizations or groups can protect themselves from the ND’edPerson by 
having clarity in missions, job descriptions and performance evaluation. ..the 
bigger the narcissist the harder the fall that can come.  

 Performance is basically what turned the president here out in that case. What 
were more formative values to the group guided and prevailed in the process by 
looking at all the metrics of performance. It became pretty clear that a change 
of leadership was needed for the essential survival of the group.

And then enters, The Spiritual Ego.. 

 Unprepared for if and when it occurs, 
 it is very seductive someone saying,  “I am a powerful one”, “I can do it for 
you”, and “I am a guru”.
