Told Us so…

“I withhold my support for any of the teachings.   It’s the same pile of shallow *crap* that’s been circulating the past 10 years.  A lot of chatter from and about our false egos…that’s all it is.”

My comment was directed towards James Ray’s teachings.   I used the phrase “dumbass” in my comment too.  This is the same man who is currently under investigation for conducting a “spiritual warrior” sweat lodge that resulted in 2 people dead and 17 more sent to hospitals.

Reminds me of the group in Colorado around 15 years ago.  In order to bring more light into their minds, they drilled a hole in the top of their heads the size of a quarter.

“A weekend that will truly change your life.”

At least that much was true.

I wouldn’t believe a word coming out of this man’s mouth.

$9000.00?

A fool and their money are soon parted.

“This is the most difficult time I’ve ever faced,” Ray told a crowd of about 200 at a hotel in Marina del Rey. “I don’t know how to deal with it really.”

Noticeably LACKING in emotional skills, huh?  Nothing *wrong* with this of course.  It simply reveals a state of both emotional poverty AND spiritual poverty.

“Warrior”, indeed.   Simply the word itself conveys a state of conflict.  And just imagine…having the audacity to claim being able to ‘teach’ “Harmonic Weath”!    Everything about every idea expressed indicates a LACK of any kind of understanding or realization of the ‘spiritual’ or ‘quantum’  planes of existence.   Much less living in HARMONY with those planes of existence.

One time I asked an Indian Shaman the purpose or meaning of ‘animal guides’.  He told me that these guides are necessary in order to carry us across the great void that separates the realms of spirit from the earth.

And I responded, “If I don’t imagine any void of separation then I really don’t need anyone’s or anything else’s help to access the territory at will, do I?”

ANY and ALL of our ideas based on the concept of separation and/or conflict, are of our own making, meaning Man-made and, do not express ANY Realization nor Understanding of Absolute States of Being.

Finally, all the frauds are being exposed…

Reality consists of both positive and negative.  Anytime we focus our will and our desire upon only positive, is the moment we’ve stepped into a fantasy land founded upon wiping out Reality.

And Reality always eventually shows up and wipes out the wiper.

Harmonic Wealth consists of genuine Attributes of character, expressing an Integration of the dimensions.  A Spiritual wealth will be reflected as mental wealth, which is an abundance of ideas; it will be reflected as emotional wealth, which is an abundance of intimate relationships and finally…it will be reflected as physical wealth, which is defined as the “use of” energy, not ownership and possession of it.

Anyone teaching conflict knows nothing of Harmony.

Dear Torben,

I’ve checked back to your webpage a few times over the past months.  I’ve followed the links and I’ve read.  And it comes to me to write to you again, though I honestly admit to not knowing ‘why’.  I often don’t know the ‘why’, when the inspiration moves me.  It simply does and I accept it.  I learned long ago resistance is futile.  It merely wears me out.

First, let me say I haven’t read a thing I wouldn’t agree with concerning the people in question.  However, my response would be different.   Waging a battle of negation over whose view of Reality is going to dominate over the other IS the “old energy” pattern.

Some of us claim to be a victim of a certain person, while that certain person claims to be a victim of some of us…ALL at the same time!  Excuse me for being so bold as to say it sure looks like two ends of the same rubber band to me.  A pot, calling a kettle black and vice versa.  It has “Victim” written all over it.

Sure, investments and expectations don’t exactly match with Reality.  Notice anything in common with the rest of the World?  ALL our personal Kingdoms based on illusions are unraveling.

Signaling it’s time to get Real.

A “donation” is one thing.  A “shareholder investment” is another.  I wonder which one it was?  Usually when I buy shares, my check is exchanged for Stock Certificates.   If the company has no legal certificates to exchange for my check, then I wait for them to satisfy all the legal and financial requirements, according to all rules and regulations.  Let them prove themselves fit for public investment before asking for it.

Who are you really mad at?

So long we see ourselves as victims, we will feel helpless and will be lost, without understanding.  Admitting to being gullible and ignorant is empowering, because we, personally, can DO something about it.

If a man comes and knocks on my front door, promising me if I give him $500, he’ll turn it into $5000, I’m going to ask for his client list.  I’m going to demand proof before I hand any money over to him.

Especially, if it’s anyone of us claiming to be any kind of ‘spiritual teacher’, who hasn’t even so much as yet claimed responsibility for emotion.   I’ve been observing responses towards one another.  And I haven’t noticed a great deal of any discernable difference when it comes to expressing quality of spiritual substance of character.   It’s a competition of who has been the biggest victim of whom.  Who is best when it comes to using a whip of Guilt.

“Mea copa, mea copa, mea maxima copa”, “through my fault, through my fault¸ through my great fault”…

“New energy” pattern says:

You bet I’m [[[[[[G U I L T Y]]]]]]].  I freely admit it.  I Am Human.  I make mistakes.  I’ve told myself lies and believed them myself, which made them feel like truth I was selling to others.   Who hasn’t?

And how we respond to the human in all of us is what distinguishes a ‘spiritual teacher’.  What is our Standard of Value?  Perfection?  Or the ability to embrace ~imperfection~?

I “stand behind the short wall” but it doesn’t mean I need be silent.

“I Am God Also”…the phrase has been used as some sort of claim, kinda’ like credit.  ‘Credit” is a way of saying “I believe in you”.   Well, I’m the sort that already knows it doesn’t matter one whit how many people believe in us.  It only matters how much we believe in ourselves.

So from now on, I’m going to respond to all claims of “I Am God Also” with:

“That may be but has yet been proved.”
