Fallout from an initially trivial event amongst C-list celebrities in UK has brought to public light the set of abusive practices now known as "gaslighting".
This is very useful enlanguaging.
There's a clearly expressed article about it here:
[www.independent.co.uk]
"Ten years ago I’d never heard the term “gaslighting”. But I realised something wasn’t right when I began to believe the person telling me that my mind was betraying me. I hadn’t just been lied to, I’d systematically and consciously been manipulated into questioning my own cognisance, driven into a spiral of self-loathing and constant anxiety by the belief that my perceptions were irrational and wrong."
"Gaslighting ... is breaking down a person’s trust in their own mind – something so damaging it can take years to recover from. It’s a daily form of coercive manipulation designed to make someone so vulnerable and confused that they rely more on their abuser than on themselves. It exists in the same sphere of controlling behaviour as isolating someone from friends and family, making them entirely reliant on their [abuser]. A common form of gaslighting exists in the chillingly common abuser’s refrain: 'You can’t leave me – no one will ever love you like I love you'."
Gaslighting is Peter Young's primary method at Pathgate.
What's truly shocking is that Peter Young very openly forces people to question their own cognisance in this destructive way.
He claims it is the only method that breaks down the "non-elightened mind", and thus open the enlightened mind.
His victims believe this, decimating their own lives as a result.
The straightforward proof that this claim is a lie is: Peter Young uses fear and violence.
Only someone who knows they are in the wrong, and seeks manipulative power over another, uses fear and violence.
There is no need for fear and violence.
That is the big lie.
Objectively, in observable fact, across the world, throughout all recorded history, and today, in every field, fear and violence closes people off, shuts them down and reduces their capacity for development.
Someone who is working from good intent, and seeks another person's liberation, uses positive reinforcement.
This is scientifically true, psychologically true, pedagogically true, and spiritually true.
The Buddha also constantly told his followers to listen to their own minds, and to very beware of those fakers who taught anything else.
