It doesn't seem fair. That part of us which we all feel to be the most noble - the search for Meaning, which Steve so ably described; the striving for God, or...
"CHOOSE LIFE, CHOOSE LOVE, AND CHOOSE ALIGNMENT WITH THE DIVINE PLAN." These three choices are necessary for survival. There are big changes coming in the...
The thing I learned since leaving the cult is discernment. In a cult you are gradually led to believe that there is only a right way and a wrong way, good and...
I think this is an idea that should be explored at some point when everyone feels "stable" enough and has recovered to a degree that would ensure that such a...
I totally agree with you, Sam - not summoning Ghose to court to answer to his behavioural abuse of power and religious authority, (not to mention his avoidance...
Amazing. Sometimes I wonder how it is that people don't realize they are acting insanely. Then I remember how lost one can get in a cult. The critical mind is...
Very interesting angle.... I shall pass your post on to others through email.. Best, Sam ... have to revile him. Many con-men are intelligent, fun to be with,...
Great points, especially in the last three paragraphs!! :) I think those who read this -- who have their loved ones still trapped in the centre will benefit...
One of the best things Sri Chinmoy ever said from the perspective of someone with a disciple in the family is that the path is not meant for everyone. This...
That was very good advice. We all have to live with what has been presented to us in life. There are worse things a family member could do than to belong to a...
What excellent advice, very insightful and helpful, thankyou for your perspective...I liked the way you put "my disciple"...they are "yours" although they...
Personally,I sense something very insincere in your words of advice. Canthidetruth ... that ... meaningful ... my ... we ... disciple ... that ... with ... ckg...
James, this person really is what they say they are. I have spoken to them many times. This isn't a peacecourier thing. They are just accepting what they need...
Hi James I can understand your questioning of my motives and sincerity. I tried to stick to the bare bones of what it takes. Its been my experience that...
Interesting question....at that time, in those days...I doubt it. There was absolutely nothing on cults, nor was there the internet where a person could do...
Hi searchingwidely, I apologise for thinking you were another peacecourier sock puppet - if Ann has knows you - then I was mistaken. You refer to your daughter...
Hi again James, The use of my disciple was just a way of not getting into the sex or relationship of this person to me. Part of our relationship is built on...
Some guidelines when posting: 1)Do not try to assume other people's identity - this is not nice. 2)Please do not use foul language or profanity. There are...

I wish those testimonials that the former disciples had made had been available when I was still an active disciple of ckg. For example the testimony of the...
Here's a reprint from Sarlo's Guru Ratings yahoo group: "One of the oddest, funniest, most important adjuncts to spiritual knowledge on the internet is Salro's...
Yes, having the net at that time would have been very helpful. These days if I want to learn about something...anything at all, I can simply type it in...
It sounds like you are a bit resigned to the fact that there is "no changing of course" for the person that you love who is in the cult. Am I picking up on...
Sarah, This is really great advice. You can't just pretend that this is a good, healthy situation. It is a true nightmare from an outsiders perspective. I...
Sam, this is an amazing statement that really resonates for me, and I'm sure for others as well. When a disciple first enters the cult, they think that they...
I'm really happy for you that you found this group. It is hard to find because chinmoy's people have done everything possible to flood the internet with their...
Yes adept at lying...to myself first and then I could really make the group sound plausible because first I had to swallow a lot of things I really didn't find...
I think the real miracle is that we got out--even if we were damaged goods or still are, at least we reclaimed our lives from the hands of a psychopath. James ...
Yes, it became natural for me to talk about the path or Ghose from the idealised version that I had in my mind - that i had conjured from the conditioning and...
