Charly this is getting into the realms of the neo advaita movement which is shallow to say the least .You should be well aware that the spiritual world is not regulated so any idiot with a modicum of charisma and a wee bit of intelligence can baffle the ignorant into thinking that they are a special incarnation . I am speaking from the view point of Vedanta which is a science of self realisation and Charly Self realisation is not a special state it is simply who you are .Vedanta contends that we are identified with our ignorance and only knowledge will free you from ignorance you bring knowledge to the mind the buddhi which is the intellect not the ego. Ask this man what enlightenment is and see what he says or he might just give you one of those pathetic wise spiritual looks and possibly a wave of his hand .<br /><br />Vedanta will tell you that Self realisation is when your mind is Subtle enough to discriminate between whats real and whats unreal it is called Viveka and the mind NEEDS to be prepared for this subtlety ..<br /><br /> When you have been around the ''spiritual world '' for a while you will not get seduced by people like this you can see right through their crap yet if you are still in ignorance it is very hard to tell .Charly sorry but I couldn't help myself be careful as this world is full of sharks. <br /><br />Ed is correct in saying this man is a phony he is playing a game.If you do your figures 1000 people at $150 a person that comes to a grand total of $150,000 dollars for a weekend , the way I live I could retire after one week and comfortably after 2.<br />This man has a severe case of enlightenment sickness .Good Luck and Love to you .

In his presence there is tremendous energy and bliss as well as love!<br />About the charge: the meetings there are always around 1000 people, so he must hold them in large halls, which are quite expensive to rent (especially in Switzerland).<br />The only controversial point I can see, is, that he wants his students not to do any practice, he says that it anyway would always only be the ego that wants to become something.Charlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-18250747895607355002013-08-27T16:19:29.082-07:002013-08-27T16:19:29.082-07:00I have rarely found Anyone who appears more fake t...I have rarely found Anyone who appears more fake than this man.
