The following is a piece written by an ex-Rajneesh follower who claims that the guru was enlightened, AND also deeply egotistical. Rajneesh had sex with...

... I don't care what ANYBODY says, the Hero/Heroine's Journey is what it's ALL about. It's the only game in town. To shirk from it or to simply hide out in...
Amen Gary, can I cut that out and paste it on my bathroom mirror? Although in my story CKG was not a monster, something happened in my heart (opening of the...
All these years I've been hiding the fact that I find less and less of value in Spirituality – what would They, the cognoscenti, think of me? – and at the...

When I was in the cult I had many discussions with fellow disciples about what our goal was as a GOOD disciple. These discussions usually wound up going in...
... Another false idea that was promoted heavily in the Sri Chinmoy Centre was the myth of the good boy/good girl disciple. According to this paradigm, all you...
