Very typical ex-premie story

When you remove Susan's unpleasant comments from the "premie's story", you are left with a sweet story of trust, joy and generosity.

When you examine Don Johnson's claim of "premie's fake reviews", you find that of the thirty or so one and two star reviews only one mentions Prem Rawat's book and most of them have sixteen book reviews to their credit and are clearly independent and knowledgable reviewers.

And when you read Hans Rawat's comment "I wonder how many followers of my father actually know the history of the term "Perfect Master". He certainly didn't coin it." You have to realise he didn't listen and he thinks no one else did either.

The ex-premie world is like a group of people who signed up for a gym membership after seeing and talking to people who were long term members who looked great and praised the benefits of regular exercise. And then after a few years stopped going to the gym and then spent decades complaining that it didn't work and it was all a hoax.

Ten of thousands of people received Knowledge in the 70's and many, even most gave up and got on with their lives and a sad few dozen spent the rest of their lives blaming Prem Rawat for the fact that you no longer practice and therefore not longer experience any benefit.

As many reviewers noted about Don Johnson, he claims to have moved on and yet spends an entire chapter bagging his guru from twenty years ago.

Move on folks. Your cult is poisoning you.

A story that starts with a lack of trust surely? The premie was so certain that she was in the midst of a den of thieves that she didn't even think it worthwhile immediately checking out the lost and found tent to retrieve her money.

postedit. I now realise that Thinking is correct. If you read the story down you find that it was not actually the premie that exhibited the lack of trust but actually someone else described as her (cynical) 'mind'

On the contrary - they said " my biggest problem was not the lack of money". Some people have different priorities.

Indeed her biggest problem apparently was "how to stop my mind from screaming "DO SOMETHING! FIX THIS!"

So now we have two entities - the premie and the premie's mind? Really ?

Why is it so important to you ..

It didn't work and it was a hoax. It still is.

We were told to meditate constantly, go to 'satsang' at every opportunity, and spend all the time we had available doing 'service'. Family relations, hobbies and interests, romance and sex, study and learning, ambition - it was all denigrated and devalued by the 'Perfect Master'.

I was a shock to leave the cult after so many years dedicated to the 'Perfect Master', to see how much we had been duped, how much we had missed. It wasn't a hobby we lost interest in and then found some other amusement. The fact that our judgement was so flawed has left an indelible mark on who we think we are. After such an error, the next steps aren't so easy, not being able to trust our own judgement.

So we see that mark in each other, and we are here for those few left who see their way out of what is still a cult.

Don't you go equating it to gym membership! That's not at all how it was. You're gaslighting here. Bullshit analogy.

Yes, we've moved on. But we remain vigilante - of course!

1.The gym managment is incompetent and dishonest.

2. The gym equipment is unsafe and the staff encourage harmful training practices.

3. The gym is unsanitary and rife with disease transmission.

4. No one can ever get their money back.

5. Whistleblowers are hounded by expensive lawyers and staff are forced to sign NDAs.

6.The business is dependent on tax exemptions and claims to be a charity.

7. The gym owners, its shareholders and various hangers on are always bitching about former members who point out the gym is unsafe. The owners, the shareholders and hangers on demand former members move on and stop dissing their shitty business.

There are lots of gyms where unlike this one they take care so you don't catch veruccas, get torn muscles or get hit on by creepy strangers - AND they don't keep asking you for more money just because their boss is some kind of gym hotshot with a message he needs to take to the world in a private jet.
