Michele:
First, r.e. your posts:
In the real world, I teach and publish.
I advise students to do their own work, use
their creativity, and credit their sources.
When you imitate someone, that could be flattery
- if it's done in concert and with attribution or
consent. But not as some purloined identity with a
contrary thesis.
Entering and ripping-off is not 'flattery';
possible factors at play: opportunistic
exploitation, covetousness, ego.
In the past I've been in professional situations
where people intentionally plagiarized,
paraphrased, republished without permission and
otherwise patently infringed on my original and
even copyrighted material. So, I retain
attorneys.
From these and other professional experiences in
government and public relations, I can distinguish
the difference between what is well-intentioned and
what is deceptive or belies an egocentric,
aggressive agenda.
Where I come from, we don't steal bananas - or
throw them at people. How cavalier, condescending,
insensitive. But I guess that just goes to show -
by his fruits shall ye judge him/her.
By the way, I read your gushy miragey op/ed
testimonial in ELK and understand you used to
transcribe and handle propaganda for miragey at IHQ
in Denver. Ever heard about the drunken Perfect
Master tape #1? 'Hey, senorita...' Wonder who has a
copy of that one now?!
I'm very curious about the sections of m's talks
that have been edited or deleted in transcriptions
over the years. Like ol' Rosemary Woods with the
typewriter and erase button in the Nixon White
House.
You know, miragey likes to quote Kabir. But have
you noticed that he NEVER refers to the sections of
Kabir's work which state verbatim that a true saint
or perfect master NEVER accepts money, gifts, or
wealth from one's devotees?
When miragey did the vehicular manslaughter and
then the hit-and-run, he also had an innocent
premie servant falsely take the legal blame. That's
another felony, in addition to the hit/run he
committed.
Miragey committed another criminal felony, when
miragey ordered Mike Donner to 'get Fakiranand out
of the country' - to avoid the arrests and
prosecution of Fakiranand + his accomplices in the
attempted murder of Detroit reporter Pat Halley. m.
was also protecting Rajaji, who had been
instigating the mahatmas and WPC to avenge the
pie-throwing incident. Do you know how many
innocent people miragey + DLM top officials moved
like pawns in the attempted homicide and aiding and
abetting of fugitive criminals and the org coverup?
Dozens of unsuspecting premies.
Did you know that Marolyn's husband miragey had
Michael Dettmers procure young blonde premie women
for his sexual pleasure, and then dumped them
abruptly after he got it?
Did you know that the writings of Sarupanandji
and other gurus does not indicate a legitimate
descent of guruship to the materialist rawat clan -
which is drowning in its own ill-gotten maya - but
rather through a historical series of
renunciants?
Did you know that people reported even back in
the 1970s that miragey knew that Jagdeo was doing
stuff with premie children at the Unity School in a
closed room with the lights off? Have you seen the
lies and spin doctoring by m's official
representatives on the subject?
Did you know that while miragey was publicly
accepting self-promotional civic awards and telling
premies not to do drugs or drink alcohol, he was
smoking cigs, imbibing cognac and smoking pot,
too?
Did you know that the IRS was auditing Divine
Light Mission, and that miragey had Dettmers and
others create a new org and shell corporations
which would allow miragey to divert and monopolize
the donation revenues for himself and his extended
family [e.g. Raja ji] without legal
investigation or prosecution for tax fraud? Just in
1982 alone, more than $100 million was raised?
Where did it all go to? 'It isn't easy to be rich.
Once you have one million dollars, then you need
two million...' etc. - miragey at Long Beach
How about m's and EVI's present claims that he
never said he was god or a savior? Who is Guru
Maharaj ji?
The 'authentic authorized story':
'Why do more than six million people around the
world claim he is the greatest incarnation of God
that ever trod the face of this planet? Why do
Christian priests claim that he has taught them the
way to love? Why do Hindus refer to him as the Swan
Avatar?'
-- DLM/EVI, Bantam Books, 1973
'God is the same, but now we look for Him to
come in a new way, to give His Knowledge. Jesus
gave this Knowledge, Krishna gave this Knowledge,
but now we must look again for a new Master to show
us the light. I have not come to establish a new
religion or sect, but I have come to give you
Knowledge...' -- miragey
...'they expect God Himself to come, they pray
for it, they ask for it, they announce about it,
but when He comes they fail to recognize Him. And
not recognizing Him is His physical form, they
cannot recognize him within themselves.' --
miragey
...'whenever he comes to the physical world, the
Perfect Master has to tolerate many difficulties.'
- miragey
'We have to find this Word by a teacher, a
guide. A guide who is perfect, and who can teach
this perfect Knowledge to us. A perfect guide can
guide us. You need a burning lamp to light other
lamps. So, in the same way you need an enlightened
Perfect Master to make you enlightened and perfect
also. IF THE MASTER HIMSELF IS NOT PERFECT, HOW CAN
HE MAKE YOU PERFECT? YOU NEED A PERFECT Master.'
-miragey
'when Satguru comes... He is perfect, He was
perfect, and He will be perfect... A devotee is
sitting in America, Guru is sitting in India, but
both have a very powerful connection...So,
remember. We have to find that God, that person who
is perfect... So, remember: we are part of Him who
has manifested Himself as a Guru and who has come
into this earth, and now we have to be One with
Him. We have to completely merge and make our souls
one with Him because He is perfect, and once we
merge with Him we will also be perfect.' - miragey
[aka maharaji aka guru maharaj ji], 15
years old, 1973 Shri Hans Productions
Either these words were and are all true, or
you-know-who was and is a lying sack of
you-know-what. [the EVI spin doctors, too!]
Yes, I have seen big piles from elephants, but
never has lil' swami seen such huge stinky piles of
deluded demonic invention/reinvention! We must
exorcise these personality cult demons that have
been possessing the spirits, minds and bodies of
our beloved brothers and sisters!
Who falsely fed the saviour, avatar, messiah,
Krishna concepts? He and his family did - just look
at the stupid costumes, crowns, the specially
constructed stages, Krishna lila gopis' dance and
the Lord Christ plays, Millenium, the thrones, the
posing and the pictures, the official distorted
guru worship rituals of bowing, arti, toe-kissing,
etc. - all the real b.s. He personally authorized
and approved all those concepts and rites - and he
still feeds that elephant dung in piles to those
brainwashed people who will eat it - because,
frankly, it empowers dysfunctional him, miragey, in
their enabling codependent lives, and disempowers
them as independent, free-thinking human beings.
We're talking practically terminally brainwashed
r.e. some of the premie oldtimers.
Incidentally, did you know that countless people
have regularly experienced brilliant inner light
etc. way before and way after hearing about the
maha - or never having heard about him? Did you
know that some people here have experienced inner
light, music, breath power, nectar way before ever
receiving techs from m or his agents? I have
experienced inner light since I was a child. That
light has nothing to do with m. How to approach
one's own light, sounds, breath, being are not the
property of any self-styled guru, master, teacher.
The secrecy he insists upon for these universal
techniques and his related cult-enforced monopoly
on speaking about the so-called knowledge only
serve to empower him in a cult capacity and to
extract tens of millions of dollars from his
devotees for luxuries for his [and his
family's] exclusive use.
The so-called knowledge comes with strings - so,
it's not free - strings to miragey as the false
master of one's fate and life. Tell anyone with a
functioning brain that this isn't a personality
cult or religion? Using the strings of false guru
attachment, cult reinforcement and propaganda, Big
Brother video scenarios, demonization of the human
intellect, cult peer pressure and guilt trips, and
inflated god-like claims and claims of some inner
connection with him [which have since been spin
doctored by m and EVI and denied], miragey's
family have conned a lot of people into blindly and
mindlessly following the various Rawat clan
gurus.
Let's look at agya, for example:
Agya [the personal explicit direction/orders of
the guru], and agya's use as a mind-numbing
propaganda tool for brainwashing and total
submission to m. as the absolute authority and
superior power in this world, played a Huge role in
breaking down the barriers of any sane person's
sensibility, reasonable doubts, and aversion to
even the most dastardly deeds ordered in the name
of the almighty guru. Those who innocently come to
knowledge and m. today are merely given a
watered-down dose of agya -- yet reinforced weekly
[but not daily and nightly] with the image
of Big Brother hypnotizing them on a projection
screen in a darkened screen in a cold and
impersonal environment where he maintains absolute
control of the situation.
Tens of thousands of adults, in what should have
been the prime of their lives, actually submitted
their innate intelligence and personal freedom and
choices to the will of a pimply, greasy-haired
teenaged Napoleon megalomaniac. This would not have
been possible without a cumulative combination of
synergistic factors: the orchestrated messianic
'Lord of the Universe' mindset which Prem Rawat and
his minions routinely propagated and reinforced, as
evidenced in m.'s countless satsangs
[diatribes], Arti ritual [hymn of
absolute adulation and submission], official
media and publications, the enormous peer pressure
and cult conformity, the cult commandments and
rules, the bowing and prostation to his pictures
and his person, the emotional and personal
isolation many endured, the agonizing guilt trips,
and the pretense that any effectiveness and
experiences from the meditation techniques were
somehow inextricably linked with him, etc.
However, this cosmology and transformation could
not have been effectuated or complete without AGYA
-- the guru's direct orders to the
devotee[s]. Within the framework of the
Rawat family's cult philosophy, the word of the
Master literally becomes the final word, the
ultimate worldly authority -- the powerful
psychological device used in communication to relay
and justify the various insatiable demands,
habitual capriciousness, hypocrisy, inanity and
insanity of any questionable m./organizational
doctrines, operations, or shenanigans. Agya has
also been ritually used as the measure and test of
one's obedience, fitness, and devotion to the
Master.
For instance, would Dettmers have done the deeds
he performed - had it not been for m.'s direct
agya? Perhaps not. [How about it, MD?]
Similarly, when orders and demands were made of the
premies, agya was routinely invoked by m. and
relayed via m.'s mouthpieces throughout the premie
hierarchy and pecking order of each community
worldwide -- e.g. m. has stated that he needs a new
plane, or m. says to forget about your jobs and
families and that a true premie should only live to
attend the festivals with one's Master, or we have
been advised to tell you that it is preferable to
leave cash or checks made out to m. in the darshan
line [foot-kissing], or m. says you must
[________fill in the blank] if you dare
even call yourself his devotee...
When mahatma [instructor] Fakiranand
[aka Mishra] and his companion went to bash
in reporter Pat Halley's skull in August 1973 in a
murder conspiracy of retribution [for publicly
throwing a cream pie in m's face and thereby
undermining a millenial 'Soul Rush' event at Cobo
Hall in Detroit], do NOT think for a moment
that it was some kind of a rogue operation [as
the org's spin doctors concocted and quickly
related to the shocked premies]. In fact, the
hitmen themselves were under the distinct
impression that they were simply following orders
-- the will of the guru and his top-level
organization. And, in fact, some very informed
persons indicated and alleged at the time that the
last telephone call between the hitmen and the DLM
hierarchy before they left the Detroit ashram on
their appointed rounds was with the young Rawat
himself. Yes. Rawat himself. What did the honchos
at DLM IHQ in Denver tell the hitmen to do? What
did Rawat himself say, too? We already know that
miragey ordered Mishler and Donner to direct the
flight of the fugitives.
Why, then, did m. shortly thereafter pose in
photos with Raja ji [in the And It Is Divine
magazine] as the Godfather, and why was there
the ritualized pie-throwing by m. at premie special
events for several years thereafter? What Real
Demons were actually being flaunted or exorcised?
Why was DLM directly involved in the aiding and
abetting of fugitives, an organizational cover-up
and dissemination of lies, and subsequent $10,000
payoff to Halley to circumvent any official
investigation, lawsuit, or criminal indictment? WHO
was really being protected? 'No cheat, no deceit',
remember?! 'Satsang' means company of truth; yet,
where and when did m. and his org Ever share Any
truth or light on this matter? Was this EVIL deed
and pattern establishing a precedent for the
subsequent criminal response and mishandling of
m.'s hit-and-run vehicular manslaughter [and
the hush money payoff] a decade later in India
[as related to EPO by Dettmers]?
It is well-known that some WPC and security
personnel around m. indicated they would Kill to
protect m. -- or if ordered to - without question.
Just like the KGB, CIA, or Mafia. What kind of
spiritual racketeering has been engaged in, at all
levels and in a number of areas, too, over the
years?
Did m.'s interpretations, abuse, and perversion
of the concept of spiritual AGYA pave the way for
the virtual enslavement of thousands of
well-meaning souls, for crimes committed and
concealed, for the x-rating [sworn secrecy]
of his personal activities, and for the
accumulation and obscenely gross misuse of hundreds
of millions of dollars in monetary donations?
Here is an excerpt from 'Life with Knowledge'
(circa 1975), A Premie Guidebook, DLM, Chapter 6,
entitled 'AGYA':
'You were told about this word, and explained its
meaning thousands and thousands of times. And the
word is 'agya'. If you follow agya, there is no big
deal, no big problem. Then you don't have to worry.
It's like, you're told to do something and you do
it! ... It's Like Guru Maharaj Ji is standing a
hundred feet above you and saying, 'Listen. You
want to get out of this place? Okay. Now make a
left.' And you go, 'I don't need your advice.' 'But
if a person can be that humble and really
understand that, 'YES, I AM A LITTLE CHILD, and I
need directions,' then everything will be so
beautiful.' -- Guru Maharaj Ji
Beautiful for whom? The mega-millionaire Master,
or those spiritually entrapped and ENSLAVED?
Habits: 'Whatever you sow, you reap. If you sow
good, you shall reap good. If you sow bad, you
shall reap bad.' -- Guru Maharaj Ji
On the use of drugs and alcohol: 'Well, the only
thing I can tell you is that, look, you already
have a Knowledge that is much more superior than
that. It is like this: a person is in one city and
he is telling everybody, 'Oh, I want to go to
another city as soon as possible.' And he has a
falcon jet which is A-OK. It runs; it's perfect.
But all he does is take his suitcase and start
walking. And that's not the quickest way. It's not
good to just say, 'Oh, I want this enlightenment to
be soon as possible', and then instead, going to
something that is completely inferior.' -- Guru
Maharaj Ji
On marriage: 'What people do is they say, okay, we
have to get married now, and then they get married.
After some time they think oh no, I don't think I
like this thing. I think I better get back to do
service. And they leave their wives and they come
back and it's like, they want to do service again,
and they're really confused and I say, 'Man, do one
thing. Make your decision whether you want to get
married and stay married. You understand. Don't get
divorced in two weeks because that is the most
terrible thing you can do.' -- Guru Maharaj Ji
Service to the Master:
'If you want to be a disciple at all. If you want
to be a real human being, first of all you have to
be a servant. And how can one become a servant? By
service.' -- Guru Maharaj Ji
Channels of Communication:
'...channels of communication through which
DIRECTION can be given so that we all can work
together. Therefore, everyone arranging any
activities in either my name or in the name of
Divine Light Mission MUST CONTACT Headquarters by
telegram, telephone, or telex, FOR APPROVAL OF ANY
PROPOSED ACTIVITY... BY ESTABLISHING THIS
COMMUNICATION, ALL ACTIVITIES CAN BE APPROVED AND
SUPPORTED BY THE DIVINE LIGHT MISSION, AND ANY
SPECIAL PROPOSALS WILL BE ABLE TO COME TO MY
ATTENTION BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION...' -- Sant Ji
Maharaj [aka Guru Maharaj Ji aka Maharaji aka
Prem Rawat aka Prempal Singh Rawat] (caps
added)
So, don't blame the lowly servile operatives -
when everything associated with the cult from the
mega-money diversions to the songs played at events
is sychronized by orders from the top - the buck
clearly stops with miragey - a master of smoke and
mirrors.
By the way, some of us even enjoy occasional
meditation, etc. But our personal experiences have
nothing to do with the greedy guru. For those who
have distanced themselves a bit from the cult for
awhile, looked at all the available information out
there related to the techniques, the history, the
already extensive cult documentation, and then
reused their brains instead of relying on their
emotional attachment and cult concept
indocrination, the verdict is clear - miragey has
royally abused and betrayed the trust of the
premies.
He is therefore unworthy to be a guru, master,
or teacher of anyone. Instead, he has shown himself
to be a greedy guru, who has practiced cheat and
deceit.
Premies, take back your lives - which some of
you gave away a long time ago, when you surrendered
the reins of your life and your mind to someone so
unworthy, deluded and selfish. Remember: 'No cheat,
no deceit' was his mantra. Well, he didn't practice
it in his official capacity or personally.
Therefore he has failed the test.
[Incidentally, Michele, I didn't think you'd
apologize, either.]
You know, I used to watch cult groupies scramble
and callously trample others in their services or
at events just to get closer to miragey, sometimes
thinking nothing of even undermining or sabotaging
other premies, in their deluded cult personal
aggrandisement mentality. The same personality
types would naturally have no compunction or
hesitation about facetiously or condescendingly
doing the same to folks here. It's funny how some
premies can be such ignorant egotists - who
mistakenly think they've cornered a monopoly on
truth - when the actual official personality cult
representations are founded upon the quicksand of
cheat and deceit.
Guru enshrinement and personality worship is
ultimately an obstacle to enlightenment,
spirituality, intelligence, liberation, and further
progress on the individual's path of life and
truth. Slavery is dead, premies. Wake up! There is
a healthy holistic afterlife, here and now...
Peace and lentils,
