Hi Vix,
yes sometimes things do happen with posts and you lose them! That has happened to me a few times.
From the research that I have been doing, it seems that corrupt Gurus all tend to use the same lines on their victims...
A guru will justify all kinds of abuse of power, saying to the devotee "I did this to wake you up!"
Can you imagine how confusing that would be? Someone you trust and look up to doing something that makes you feel vulnerable, diminished, scared or belittled and then telling you it is for your own good?
Especially when you have already been taught not to trust you own mind? You have been taught to become compliant. Any doubts that arise regarding the Guru's behavior are dismissed by the victim as being "just the mind."
Over a period of time this works very effectively to keep devotees in check.
It's gas-lighting, or to use a stronger term, it's brain-washing.
