Thank you, Rob. Hard to predict, indeed. That got me laughing.
Lorn is a real person. Cripes. The world would be a better place with more Lorns.
There are a lot of spiritual organizations out there. Some of them use Large-Group Awareness Training techniques. These techniques use specific pressures (like being in a large group, stage-fright, etc.) to get past the layers of ego built up in people's minds.
Can they help people achieve enlightenment? Yes.
Are they the sole path to enlightenment? No.
Can they take advantage of people? Yes. A clear sign this is happening: someone repeatedly signs up for more seminars, courses, forums.
Are they to blame when someone snaps or commits suicide? I would argue: No. MKP claims 43,000 men through their program as of 9/2010. The SUICIDE RATE PER YEAR for males in the US is 17 per 100,000. It shouldn't be hard to find more than one person linked with MKP that has committed suicide.
Hope you are well,
T.
