"The law attracted him to prison," that's some comedy gold right there
Hahaha that was an excellent joke 🤣
💀🤣😭💯
Is he in prison?
I read your comment just as the good doctor was saying it.
We are witnessing the death of critical thinking skills and what was once called "common sense" in the human population, especially in the United States. A majority of people seem capable of believing literally anything, no matter how absurd, ridiculous, and harmful it is to them personally.
You should see the bollocks they believe in Africa.
Wokism is causing the demise of Christianity, which is sort of good and also bad; because wokism is in its toddler stage right now. It's gaining momentum in the US. It's more advanced in Europe, and is currently destroying it. Wokism offers little criticism to the growth, power, and anti-liberal Islam. As a result, wokism and Islam are the two fastest growing fascist religions in the west.
For some reason the comments are not showing up? I miss them!
💯 %
It's nothing new.
Imagine telling people in Yemen or somewhere similar that they can just positively think themselves out of famine and poverty. The law of attraction stuff is just such a toxic teaching to me.
Good one!
The people of Yemen already believe this. It's called Islam.
In America, people pray and expect precisely the same positive results. It's all cults to me.
Exactly! This sells in the US to people who are shallow and searching.
Many people in Yemen spend quite a bit of their time focusing on beliefs and things that they believe are out of their control as well. I guess if it’s a major religion people don’t think of things the same way. It makes perfect sense to devote your life to a faith when things around you don’t seem to be rewarding that devotion.
@@stevewise1656 yeah just in the US….even though he started in the Netherlands and spent time in India….no one in those places subscribe to any nonsense like this apparently. But yeah everything is about the People in the US. Apparently everywhere else is enlightened.
Wise😊
"Cult leaders have a gift for finding vulnerable people to exploit." Yes, they do, and it's so sad. What a jerk to exploit vulnerable people in this way. Thank you for this analysis, Dr. Grande.
I dunno, good sci-fi writers seem to do OK. Heinlein, Azimov, Silverberg. Hubbard, not so much.
I've only read the title and the. "Levitating Spiritual Guru" was enough to have me paying attention. 🤣😂🤣
Imagine this guy and Teal Swan having a superiority contest, there would be no ceiling that could contain those egos. Thanks for the video Dr Grande. ❤️
😂
You must've missed the Matt Kahn, Teal Swan interview
@@baloog8 why? What did they talk about?
Employer discrimination against floating cult leaders is an issue in this economy.
The enlightened wallet comments totally made my day. Thank you!!
He's a grifter. How else can you view this? Thanks Doc. I totally agree with your summation.
You betcha
All he ever did was float through the air and people like you bullied him off the internets from jealousy. FOR SHAME!
@@aarondavis8943 LMAO. Thanks Aaron. I needed that laugh. Too funny.
@@aarondavis8943 You're not really serious, right? 😀👍
@@aarondavis8943 Are you joking 😳🙃🤣? IDK, but hoping that you are!!
This guy seemed to operate straight out of a cult leader playbook. Dr. Grande, I ❤️ your style of humor.. 🤣
He's been covered pretty well on the "little bit culty" podcast, if that tells you anything.
@@mattheusser1390 seems like a complete hitpiece...you can tell when he talks about another random "spiritual" person that was convicted of murder for some sweatlodge accident and we are now supposed to assume because it occurred in the same vicinity and they both are spiritual teachers that there must be some kind of connection? this point alone makes this doctor a moron in every sense of the word and immediately tells you he is full of shit. just because he wears an ugly hawaain shirt and speaks in measured tones we are supposed to give him credibility?? i think not. it sounds like he is having homosexual fantasies about bentinho and his jealousy is overtaking him...you aret fooling anybody...wait until you have a fact or two before you start in talking about others.
Another fine offering, Dr Grande. And a few well placed zingers perfectly executed! Your channel is one of my favorite places to be these days!😎🤔
Agreed!
There's a bottomless pit of naive new age ninnies willing to follow these hollow spiritual leaders.
You sure have that right.
i used to listen to many of them then i realized what bogus baloney it all is
Excellent explanation of cults and cult-like behavior!
Just like Trump, many are just dumb but the ones who cant see through his grift who have brains still believe his bs with no evidence becuase they don't care about truth anymore. To far down the rabbit hole with little or no chance back to reality! Many of the still think the election was stolen and if he thinks in his child break highly top secret docs classify themselves magically! Is sad,sick and scary who many believe ever word this pathological liar says, even when a retard can see his lying they belive him like gullible sad sheep!
Could that explain the recent political nonsense/beliefs? ツ
People like Bentinho Massaro are very dangerous
I have no idea that lots of negativity is an excellence.
His idea that anyone who says anything about me is only reflecting on how they feel on themselves, reminds me of what a much wiser, and funnier man once said, "I know you are, but what am I?"
Thanks for doing a video about him, Dr. Grande. I've been waiting this for a long time. Many of his previous partners claimed to have been abused by him. A typical narcissist.
Same
“Most employers are looking for non weather changing, non teleporting, non floating humans- it’s incredibly discriminatory,” that’s just too funny.🤣😂
Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤️
Yeah this is a hit ...😂😂😂
Yasss too funny 💀
i try to work the word transcendence into conversations whenever possible. people seem impressed when i do.
Great video Dr Grande! I just laughed out loud when you mentioned that he must save money on airfare by levitating. You're just too much. 😆
I can't wait for the New Age to become the Old Age. When I was a child I went to Sedona and had to hang out with my mom in all the crystal shops and was taken outside dressed in trash bags in the middle of the night with a meditation specialist named Mickey. We had flash lights in the dark and I was told I was supposed to look for aliens. I wish I just went hiking instead. Beautiful place.
Your commentary is hilarious! Thank you for such a fantastic summary of weird cults!
.......to express himself without crossing the cosmic boundary of free will which is another way of saying.....absolutely nothing..🤣 I laughed so hard hearing this part..As always Dr. Grande sense of humour is golden‼️
Dr.Grande covers absolute silliness and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
I lived in Chicago for a while, I couldn’t believe the number of “psychic reader shops”’ absolutely hilarious.
many of them have schizophrenia
There is nothing wrong with Chicago, it must be a fluke to have a few of these people doing crazy shit!!
Lol I'm from Chicago! Just the other day I saw a psychic reader house riding in a car with my aunt and this is on South Side of the city. I was a little surprised of the location. I expected to see one of those up North. 🤔💀
That being said, I believe only a select few are actual psychics and the rest are just cold reading for a buck and aren't in tuned to the spiritual, tbh.
@@thenewageriseth Call me an old cynic, but I don’t do the supernatural, I consider them a bunch of crooks, every damn one of them. Have a nice day 😁
@@jackthebassman1 That's fair, haha. Have a good one! 🌈
How has this guy not been one of Teal Swan's husbands yet? They'd get on really well (at least for a few weeks). Also, losing fat makes you lighter but increases your density
He's in competition with teal swan ..
Wouldn't work out....
Exactly my thoughts, they're like a match made in hell!
I thought the exact same thing!
I think America needs a Guru that can teach critical thinking! Then we could really be enlightened 😊
John S
I’m not implying Dr. Grande be a Guru. Lack of critical thinking is an epidemic in our country at the present time, I totally agree, we should use our brains and question things for ourselves rather than letting others tell us what we should believe as fact or conform to their way of thinking
"The Law attracted him to prison" I almost died laughing to that!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How you combine wry wit with profound insight gained from your years of experience & professional knowledge, training & practice is a joy.
You truly leave other TH-camrs in your wake.
Enormous appreciation from me & your many fans & subscribers in the UK 💗
Thank goodness I discovered your channel.
Humor is outstanding.
Seems like all of these cults have many things in common
SEX.
In my youth(the 60s) we did the same thing.
LSD helped a lot. That's true enlightenment!!!
Always interesting.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
Short-term satisfaction, and postmortem prizes calls many to the alter of stupidity and otherwise indefensible ideas. Christianity, Islam and Wokism included.
LSD will never lead to true enlightenment bc its a drug and wears off.
M F - Also a 60s kid! But we shared everything and were not greedy!
Sex is fine, but cults tend to get weird. 1 cult leader sexing up ALL of the women while forbidding the other men to have sex, or abusing children. Cults suck.
Best advice I was given when I was young.."Never fall in love with your Guru".
7:35 is actually what most narcissistic ppl talke about. I believe the story about vampire not having reflection in mirror is exactly their condition - unable to self reflect and blame *everything* about themselves onto others.
Interesting take on the mirror myth!
Well said!!!
Vampires do that?
As it gets cooler out, and winter approaches, i fear we may be seeing less of Dr. Gs fantastic shirts! The horror!
Basically, this guy experimented what most tourists do in the coffee shops in Amsterdam
As a fan of alien lizard people, I would love for you to speculate what could be going on with a person like The Black Alien Project. He was born Anthony Loffredo, but has undergone many body modifications and tattoos to look like an alien. His body mods include: bumps, and swirls implanted all over his head and body, the splitting and tattooing green of his tongue, tattooing of his eyes black and green, the sharpening and dying of his teeth blue, the removal of his ears, lips, nose, and fingers, and he plans on removing a leg! The before and after pictures are shocking! He’s not the only person to have these kinds of body modifications either, however there’s only like 5 people that have removed their nose, and one other to remove his finger. So far no one has amputated their own healthy leg. The comment sections of his social media is always a battle of two sides. One side egging him on because it’s his life, the other begging him to seek mental health therapy. What could be going on in a situation like this?! And what’s your opinion on if he should be able to amputate his own healthy leg?! I’m not sure if this guy is into conspiracy theories, but he’s definitely an alien lizard person lol!
Thanks Dr. Grande!
Going to have to look this guy up now out of morbid curiosity 😄
He wouldn't be the first to have a healthy leg amputated unfortunately. You have reminded me of an article I read many years ago. There was a photo of a young person who had done exactly that, and a discussion of the ethics regarding surgeons being willing to perform such an operation. I think it's called body dysmorphia (Google's saying I spelt that wrong)
It's similar to the trans/sex change phenomenon, although thankfully less common. People who feel that they are really amputees, but born in the wrong body!
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video ; only speculating while levitating above a word salad generator like this.
I know one thing.......
You are ROCKING that cool shirt, Doctor!
I think Bentinho IS the Master of ONE thing.......
I bet he's a good fisherman because his mastery is being a Master Baiter.
I really feel sorry for those that fall for this kind of joke But so many want something to follow always seeking on the outside and never seeking on the inside I find him very creepy looking As always I have enjoyed your accurate analysis
It's important to note that people do not choose to be deceived. They *just are* through a variety of explanations. Upon this premise, it helps provide satisfying explanations for the rise of Christianity and now the religion of Wokism. Bad ideas are much worse than bad actors, because bad ideas take advantage of good but uncritical minds. The intellectually lazy are especially susceptible. They become absolutely certain, and act on these ideas, when it would suit them, and everyone else, to be uncertain.
I live in a country where 90million gullible inhabitants have fallen for the joke called catholicism
@@rogerwilco4736 They fell for it only if they chose it; *it's highly unlikely they chose it.* (Not unlike the the Muslims, Baptists & Mormons, Orthodox Greeks, scientologists and many more)
@@rogerwilco4736 They didn't "fall for it". They, almost all of them, were indoctrinated through no choice of their own starting at a very young, impressionable age. They are not stupid. They do not even equate the sacraments as forms of ritual cannibalism. They really think all that stuff is real.
When the separating from family and friends, the telling a person to commit suicide, the food control, and the sleep deprivation were mentioned, those were huge red flags to me. I don’t understand how people missed the horrifying historical cases of Jim Jones and David Koresh. And I doubt they need a permanent physical location. They only need meet online and make plans once. I hope so much no one is there when this man wants to make an end of himself.
I appreciate all you do Dr. Grande!
I can't imagine having some stranger walk up to me and start telling me the crap that this dude was trying to make people believe.
I don't know if I could keep myself from laughing right in their face.
Thank you!! I was following Bentinho on social media for awhile when I started to get sociopathic vibes from him and stopped following. This is a brilliant analysis.
He looks like a sociopath. I feel so sorry for the people who got sucked into this crap.
I have enough trouble keeping both feet firmly planted in reality. I can’t imagine levitating!😂😂😂
Thanks Doc, hope you’re doing well today!
The only one enlightened and empowered was him. Everyone else lost theirs. Loving you Doctor 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
Once again, your understated humor at pointing out the absurd is par excellence. Thank you.
I know someone who is super intelligent and damn near clairvoyant. Very adept at reading people and situations.
Dr. Grande, your jokes keep getting better and better.🤣
“Which is another way of saying… absolutely nothing” 😂 that’s how every thing he says sounds to me. Just making up words at one point.
Most new age "gurus" are just uncaring narcissistic monsters. You cracked me up w/the stupid general words they use! 🙄👺🤡Wonderful analysis. Thanks Dr G😊💕💕
Hi Zena! 👋 I wrote you a couple of comments yesterday and I think they were deleted. Or my account is dead. Did you see them? One I left for CT disappeared, too. Now I am worried. Hope I'm not banned again. Hugs to you and your mom. ❤🧡💛💙💜💛 I hope this one shows up. 🥺
@@LDiamondz Hello!! I think YT is wonky as I couldn't see comments until I hit the weird button to show most recent on some channels, I was worried too. Oh no, sorry they disappeared. 😑I wrote CT twice too w no replies. Mum had a bad day yest but will bounce back. Thanks always dear...love hearing from you, massive Hugs and Love your way!!😉😘🐦🦋🌷🌻💚💚💛💛🤍🤍🌞🎈🛡🌄💞
Too bad George Carlin isn’t here to deliver a rapid-fire recitation of all those idiotic cult terms. Now _that_ would be therapeutic! In all seriousness though, I really appreciate your eloquent bashing of these spiritual gurus, Dr. G. It gives me inner peace. 😊
George would have a field day with this nut-bag.
This goes beyond critical thinking skills. People who join cults are fundamentally broken in some way that makes them rife for exploitation.
Right up my alley as a yoga enthusiast and teacher w the infamous Bikram as my guru. Great topic! It’s Grande time. Let’s do this.
Since i am a supreme reptilian leader - disguised as an incel - from planet Zorox and i can see trought glass (as long as it is not tinted) i feel i could start my own cult now and challenge this imposter... 🦎🛸🙏💵
Planet zorox beings never get on with those from planet Scammer...
Now every time I'm about to waste money, I will laugh at myself for getting my wallet enlightenened. If I habitually patronize multiple vending machines, it is a Great Awakening level of enlightenment.
Every new cult leader is easy to spot, because they follow the exact same formula, but people continue to fall for them. People's need to belong, to anything, is just too strong.
Will Boulder *ever* reach the point where it tells the Bentinho Massaros of the world that it's already stocked-up on crazy but that Berkeley might be in need?
British stalker Alex Belfield. Recently sent to prison for 5 1/2 years. He never personally stalked but used his mass following on social media to incite hatred towards celebrities. Would make an interesting and current case if you're able Dr Grande :) first time this has happened in British law
What an interesting story and analysis. I appreciate all your videos, Grande. They all make a big difference to me every day.
Sorry I'm so late, been trying to ring shops, I found out that Australia has a public holiday to mourn Queen Elizabeth the second. Thank you Dr Grande , the great content you upload daily, never fails to make my day. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis and topic.
Hi CT. Guess what? I wrote you a couple of comments on yesterday's video, and it disappeared. Just gone. I hope you can read this one and you and the fam are OK. Love % Hugs. ❤💜🤎💚💛🧡
@@LDiamondz Thank you beautiful we are fine. Miss you 😢 😜❤💙💙💙🍷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
@@LDiamondz Hello beautiful friend. I know the video you're talking about it went to edit something and accidentally deleted it. How are you and your daughter. Sending love and lots of hugs from me and family. Noah is growing he is such a loveable little boy 😜😚❤💙💙💙✉🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🎇
🎉YAY! Time to wind down for the day, with the best Grande in the world! Been watching your vids since your first upload, and consider your analyses as the best on YT. Love from your fans in Denmark🇩🇰
This is very good and wise. "They are a sympton of a larger poor critical thinking epidemic", he says of the guru's followers. Could the Doctor speak more on this angle please.
I think it's time for the alien lizard humanoid merchandise to come out.
Really excellent video. You hit on so many important points and your explanation around the larger problem seems spot on.
I have never understood what must be missing in a person to want to join a cult. There must be a certain amount of covert narcissism to join these "religions" because there is always a leader that tells them over and over how special they are and they really must need that on some level.
Thanks for another useful video on dangerous cults. This one has been under the radar in the past, but has started to get more attention recently. Perhaps doing a video on the law of attraction or signs that you're in a cult might be something you'd consider for the future.
Also, just wanted to note that especially in the age of the internet and social media having a physical location for a cult really isn't necessary. The important thing is that you have a core community travel along with you, and then you can still stay in contact with plenty of others through the internet. That seems to be what this guy and other do . Finally, plenty of cults/cult leaders move to greener pastures when they have to do so, and this more frequent moving/nomadism might even been more useful for them as long as they keep a core community physically with them.
4:54 - 5:01...That had me laughing for a good 10 minutes!! 🤣 Thank you, Dr. Grande & have a great day! 🌵☺️
I recently found this channel, is is great.
"The law attracted him to prison..."🤣🤣🤣
Love how you change up the many topics you cover. Love your channel. Love this analysis. Love you. Take care.
This dude is worse than any televangelist I have ever seen. And I've seen em all!
May he rot in hell.
Remember that old late night guy, Murdock I think it was? He was the worst. Seed $...send him $1k and you won't be poor anymore, God told him. ☹️ ugh, so many of them!
I loved the witty jabs in this one, it made for a very entertaining video haha
I knew a girl in this cult. It was really scary the way she would talk and argue that he was the “real thing”.
Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande!❤️
It's a shame the mental hospitals are not around any more!!!🤡👹
absolutely love videos on gurus, please do Sai Baba!!
Loved it! Especially the ending. Thank you! I wish they would teach common sense, manners and how to be independent in schools.
Excellent as always! You’re precious Dr. Grande
I saw a study on NOVA in early nineties/late 80s about multiphase sleep that claimed sleeping 4 hrs on 4 hrs off times in 24 hours was as effective as continuous sleep. I've also seen it was the norm before the light bulb.
Check out the study and results of the discovery of the *Glymphatic System.* Every neurological mental health issue is exasperated by lack of sufficient deep sleep and REM. Sometimes the mental health issue, such as rumination, causes loss of sleep too (making it worse.) I'd say the discovery of the Glymphatic System is one of the most important findings in human mental health history. I'm surprised it didn't get more press coverage, because it is grounded in science and fact. As a result, 4 hours' sleep at a time should quickly be discarded as dangerous to mental health.
How intriguing! I'm def gonna look into this. Thanks
"you only need light when it's burning low".. 🔥🔥🔥 Kreten.
Well he seems toxic
How dare you!!
Awesome site thanks for your hard work
Superior synopsis, Doc! Spectacularly Sensational Shirt, as well!
Dr. Grande, can you please do a video on Dr. Steven Greer and his CE5 protocol?
Love your humour! And that's a great commentary on Bentinho
Fascinating. I love hearing your opinion on issues.
Excellent breakdown Dr. Grande. Thank you.
Perfect. I was hoping someone would analyze this one
I am a Japanese viewer. When he sits on the sofa like yoga, he reminds me a notorious guru Asahara, a founder of AUM committing Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995.
I love you Dr Grande! This was great!!
You are awesome Dr. Grande! Your humor makes my day.
non duality teaching, you fearful playing brother. ❤
Oh boy, this is one I have been waiting for.
Awesome shirt Doc!!❤
That wisdom set at zero line was killer
Good Day, Dr. Grande. Love that shirt!!
I think he is great. I've been following him for about 7 years. He definitely sees. If people who critisize him enjoy their critical thinking so much they should definitely use that as the source of happiness.
Yes, I don't see the problem... but then I've never been the type to get "too close" to new age gurus. His message just works for me. Maybe he's a scumbag in his personal life. Both of those things can be true. But like I said, I believe there is a safe distance from these gurus where you can benefit from their message without getting tangled up with their "personal demons".
Seems like the weight loss thing is to try and make them more sexually attractive to him.
He's right that overweight is a major life shortening threat, but that is not all there is to human health and living a good life; not by a longshot.
Thanks as always doc!
You always make me laugh Dr. Grande with your logic & humor
Good rundown on this guy and - nice shirt!
Ty for all you do
Great dry humour in contemplating the behaviours of a megalomaniac! Always an education watching your videos and, often, entertaining.
It would be interesting to know more about his parents and their beliefs. He was born at a time when New Agers were touting "Indigo Children" who were/are supposed to be the "Saviors in the New Age." They probably had a lot to do with his current delusions and ideology if he was brought up by parents who believed him to be an Indigo Child.
