Thid is exactly what tbe scientologists are dling throught their auditing techniques. They want to know absutely everything about you in order to use it AGAINST you if you dare criticizing or challenging them.
That’s a very good point ! As if only spiritual people are empaths...what a crock of shit! I’ve met tradies who are very empathic but don’t go around blowing their trumpet over it and just get on with life.
Yes that Durek probably fits the profile very well... I just wonder how gullible people can be to believe in all this c..p, or is it just that they all really understand the dupe but just go with it in order to be attached to the latest hype that attracts the most famous people? A big cynic fraud is all of this, only arranged so the " leaders" and " shamans" can earn the enormous wealth they all say they do not need... oh yes??? And I feel sad for the Norwegians having a princess that is so gullible that she falls for every new age fraudster out there, but then she is in the trade of new age so perhaps she is more cynical than she looks. She had this " school" some years ago where people could come and speak to angels....
That woman goes to see the shaman because of relationship issues and is blown away that he is able to tell her that she wants "a relationship where she doesn't have to take care of someone." All he did was rephrase "You don't want a codependent relationship," which would have sounded too obvious to appear insightful.
It amazes me that so many of the people whom strive to be different from the rest of society and consider their style and beliefs to be truly unique look and sound like everyone else that considers themselves counter culture
The spiritual wellness industry is valued in the billions in case anyone was wondering. It’s not a regulated industry and whilst there are many well meaning spiritual teachers there are equally a great deal of narcissists and ego driven, power hungry people hiding under the guise of wanting to help others. Walking a spiritual path can feel incredibly lonely, unpicking all your conditioning and trauma can leave you feeling vulnerable which is how these self imposed gurus manage to hook and exploit people, they are very clever in what tactics they use. Not to mention abusing indigenous practices (sweat lodges, plant medicine etc) with no real respect for it but simply trying to make money from it. This is why it’s extremely important to tap into your own discernment and intuition.
Even intution can be ambigous the problem with these communities is most of them are run by sociopaths. Connecting with your own discernment and intution doesn't automatically fail proof you fron sociopaths. Using logic and reason over emotions can keep people out of danger.
You do not need all this expensive stuff . If you sincerely want to connect with the healing powers of nature, just go outside and stay with the elements alone some time. They teach you, what you need to know . Animals , plants , stones, rivers, air, everything can teach you. Cost no money, but your full awareness and devotion in your daily life . Sometimes on your way you also may meet some human person to learn from . Then it is not about money but choice.
Best of all? Mainstream science agrees with this claim :D Being in nature (or even just in a park or garden) is good for you. Breathing the air outside, in nature, is good for you. Getting a bit of sunlight (just daylight, no need to sunbathe) is good for you. Gardening - digging in the earth - is good for you. Interacting with animals is good for you. It doesn't have to be "spiritual", just spending time outside in nature and paying attention to the world around you.
As someone who had to go through the traumatizing experience of finding someone deceased because of how strongly they believed in "Energy" instead of calling an ambulance, watching this made me feel physically sick. Great documentary nonetheless.

This documentary just made me realise how desperate us humans are for connection, love and connection to the divine. Which is ironically free for all to experience. Our desperation is easily exploited by greedy tricksters. Follow your own heart and don't be seduced by shamans or even plant medicines, although they have their place, they are useless without a solid spiritual basis and practice you do sober. It's good to experiment and taste a few things, but as your get older you realise you need a solid anchor to come back to. Find those who walk the walk not only talk the talk 💓
yes agree about plant medicine. It definitely works but it has to be part of you and your lifestyle or else it is useless. Ancient peoples were much closer to these plants and nature so it worked for them and they created system of plant methods. But you cannot expect plants to work on some desperate, middle aged,fat slob with no spiritual discipline. Which is the majority. Human dross.
Yes, the great awakening is classic luciferian doctrine by Alice Bailey and Helena Blavotsky false light of lucipher, they're being deceived by demons.
I think they are all con artists. I couldn't spend more than five minutes in the same room as any of these people. Borrowing $30,000 to spend on workshops with a guy who killed three people with his shenanigans is nuts. Maybe I'm too old, or cynical. I don't understand this mindset to trust other people charging large sums of money to deliver the "TRUTH".
The only thing you absolutely HAVE to understand is this; 49% of human beings are gullible twats. The other 49% are psychopaths who are VERY happy to prey on the twats. As for the remaining 2%? That is the tiny minority of us who have brains on active duty at ALL times.
*“Leaders make quick decisions”* translation: DONT think about giving me your money.. just do it! Suspend your critical thinking and ACT NOW! 😆 Pressure to decide something immediately is a sign of a con.
Yes, I made my decision: I am keeping my money and not buying that material! (By the way, once, I was unfortunate enough to participate in a similar event. And during the break, I just walked outside, for some fresh air, and never came back. ... Felt very good!)
Any sort of self-improvement thing that asks you to "be more vulnerable" immediately and is automatically assuming you need to be more vulnerable is showing you a neon-red flag. Even therapists are not supposed to ask anyone to talk about upsetting things until they are ready to and if/when it does it is supposed to come out organically when the client brings it up. Also so many people have the problem of making themselves too vulnerable and need to be more self-protective and I think that group is over-represented in the group of spiritual seekers.
Great documentary!! These so called "spiritual leaders/Gurus" are sociopathic & their followers need a really good mental health licensed therapist. I'm sadden by this. I've been scammed like this in the past as an ex-new ager and devotee to empty self development seminars/workshops filled with smoke and mirror grandiose fake ideas that lead no where fast. I got the right professional help and came to my senses. I have a simple boring life with lots of emotional sobriety wanting to be a just an everyday human with two feet on the ground. Much happier person now experiencing the ups and downs of being a human. I even have a hard time now with Corporate, whose culture expects you to be super human and have unrealistic goals that cause burn out, group think, and unrealistic values.

They also need to avoid them as they offer nothing but a form of temporary emotional solace and nothing else. It all caters to the insecure and needy ego and edifies no one nor instructs them how to transcend these insecurities like our work does.
@@chargerdave1971 : Hello Brother. Thank You for your reply. Hmm, sometimes it makes me happy that I'm a gay man, as these particular, types of problems are likely, never to effect me. Scientist and researchers in human nature and biology, would tell us that woman do these things because it is in their biological, nature to do so, in order to attract a mate. It's doubtful they are looking to actually, be physically/sexually abused but they put their self worth in their outward appearance and then, this sadly, usually, becomes to end result. Now, for the purpose of this discussion here; you are telling me that this "guru," this "spiritual leader," seems to have condoned this. I'm not sure if he was promoting this sort of thing, or simply, explaining what usually, happens when women carry on like this. Then, at the same time, society will continue to tell women to put all their focus on the exterior in order for them to be loved and have any self worth, what-so-ever. So really; what are women supposed to do. You are damned if you do and you are damned if you don't, sort of thing, so it seems, they simply, cannot win. So here we seem to come to the crux of the matter; our inability to separate Spirit from Flesh. It has been a struggle since the dawn of time and since the beginning of our species. Even those who claim to be "Spiritual Leaders" do not always, have a good, grasp on this, thus where the abuse enters in, thus making all spiritual groups and spiritual pursuits look bad. Look phony and end up being perceived as a scam. Maybe many ARE, JUST THAT, but not all. I do not want to be SO, disillusioned as to think that NO, person and NO, group out there, are not TRULY, seeking Spiritual Growth and Evolution and the desire to Emerge to Become BETTER, Human Beings, overall. But I will tell you now; any spiritual pursuits that become big business, are doomed to fail. They are doomed to miss the mark, overall. Developing Spiritually is NOT, and I repeat NOT, about becoming RICH, MATERIALLY. Never has been and never will be. Because everything in the U.S. is about CAPITALISM, and GETTING AHEAD, MATERIALLY; even most, Spiritual Leaders in the U.S., miss the mark here. I'm not American, myself and am in my late 50s now, and have spent an entire lifetime on a Spiritual Quest. And I DO, mean a LIFETIME, as this began as far back as I can remember. I've always had this desire to be a better quality Human Being and not get overly, wrapped up in material things. So I can readily, see the pitfalls of almost, all the groups and leaders I see presented here. My message though, is that; one cannot ONLY, pursue the material life and fleshly desires alone, as we are beings made up of MORE, than that, and they will NOT, make us happy, in the end. Being comfortable and being happy are two, vastly, different things. Correct? So whether all these groups and individuals are scams or not, does not mean we must scrap the entire thing, as the world and humanity will not be any better off if we do this, either. Correct? We are already, going too far down that road, as is, and need to pull back more, now, as is, rather than go even further down a very, unwise and destructive path that could spell the doom for all of us, in the end. Correct? Warmest Wishes. Be Well and Safe. Out. ❤🔥🙂🖐🏼😔
Is it just me or did the Shaman Durek "healing" of Alexis seem like something out of an SNL skit? This all seems to be a hip modern-day version of the old-school faith healing revivalist preachers.
The very unfortunate thing is the misappropriated term of Guru. Again, Indian Spiritual terms have been taken over from a rich and authentic culture to a consumer/materialistic culture.

I'm an ex-member of the Ordo Templi Orientis. I was in it for 10 years. The OTO is an occult organization which started in Germany in the late 1800s as an attempt to create an "Academia Masonica" which would bring together various Masonic rites (Masonry only has 3 regular degrees, called Blue Lodge, and everything after that is done through semi-autonomous "rites" like the most popular Scottish Rite which has 33 degrees or York Rite which has 10 degrees) to learn from one another (and bring those which had existed in other countries into Germany) as well as be a reconstitution of the 1776 Bavarian Illuminati. On top of this the OTO claimed to hold a "key" which one of the co-founders Kellner says he discovered in his travels meeting and unifying Eastern and Western spiritualities). Eventually Aleister Crowley joined and, as is his norm, took over entirely. He reformed the Order to match his own self created religion called Thelema (a hodge podge of many different religions but which focus on him being a Prophet of "The New Aeon of Horus". I was a dedicated Thelemite for around 13 years (including my time in the OTO) and after a series of weird personal events sought out the local chapter of the OTO to ask them for help and see if I wanted to join. I was a little stunned to see they had so few members and their temple space was running out of temporary rentals above an occult book store. All the same these people had chill vibes and were able to talk about things I just could not with anyone else as there's so much esoteric jargon in Thelema telling someone like a friend or family about Nuit, Hadit, Ra-Hoor-Khuit, Babalon, The City of Pyramids etc etc is near impossible. I decided to join. They offer a 0th degree called Minerval which allows you to attend Lodge meetings (non-members can only come to the after gathering, usually at a pub, bar or restaurant or attend the public demonstrations of Crowley's "Gnostic" Mass which in reality is just a Thelemic Mass based off the Mass of Russian Orthodox Christianity... but be warned if you go the eucharist, called Cakes of Light, contain a single drop of either blood or semen put into the massive batch before cooking it to kill any viruses possibly present) and the 0th degree is supposed to be an unbinding way to see if you want to go further or back away... but in reality the ritual contains vows which are far from unbinding. I progressed through several of the degrees before I left. I left for many different reasons but was in it for 10 years (I'm about to turn 31). My Lodge itself was full of pretty normal people but the Grand Lodge which ran out of the US began to be something I questioned more and more especially when one of the highest rank members, James Wasserman, begun outwardly spouting far-right ideals, posting pics of himself smiling with people like Roger Stone and Milo Yiannopoulos. If you search up "Proud Boys founder" on Google Images several pics in you'll see a picture with a man on the right wearing a shirt that has a unicursal hexagram and the number 93, those are Thelemic symbols. Looking into it he was an OTO member as were others in the Proud Boys due to James Wasserman's militant Trumpism. The man in the pic sadly passed away due to an overdose. Then there's Augustus Sol Invictus who was only booted from the Order when public relations got bad as he was a keynote speaker at the tragic hate rally Unite The Right. He was not kicked out for his views which were known beforehand but for making the news... oh and he was a candidate for the Libertarian Party nomination in the 2016 United States Senate election in Florida, was the publisher of Revolutionary Conservative, a magazine which calls for a violent far-right white uprising. To add to that In response to Invictus's campaign, the chairman of the Libertarian Party resigned due to Invictus calling him a "violent Fascist and Neo-Nazi" whose ideology was incompatible with libertarianism and saying he did not want to be part of the same party. The chairman also accused Invictus of supporting eugenics and of "sadistically dismembering a goat in a ritualistic sacrifice". Invictus responded by admitting that he once wrote a paper advocating eugenics but saying that he has since "changed his mind". He said he had sacrificed the goat and drunk its blood as part of a ritual to give thanks for surviving a pilgrimage in spring 2013, but denied it was "sadistic". So yeh while my Lodge was full of normal people the same cannot be said of many others especially those in America and Australia. I started being far more critical and doing research, openly breaking my vows to keep silent about all I've experienced and seeking out leaks about future degrees. I found out that the Order had actually essentially died out in the past (in the 70s I think, I'd have to look it up to find exact dates) and an author named Francis King wrote a book called The Secret Rituals of the OTO with every degree's ceremony and teachings included. The book matched precisely my experiences although certain signs, grips and passcodes were changed following the book being published. I knew the OTO was openly leading towards sx magick, that didn't bother me, but what I found and read in the final degree teachings was far more messed up than the sort of thing I was expecting. Those interested can easily google "Secret Rituals of the OTO pdf" and find it to see what I'm talking about. I also found out there was a long history of far-right tendencies within the OTO going back to Crowley. When the OTO first came to America the FBI puts tabs on them and heard the leader state that he believed evil-moustache-man from WW2 was right in thinking Germans were superior to others. Crowley's own opinions on evil-moustache-man are harder to pin down as the British government has declassified the fact he was working for British secret intelligence against Germany during WW1. It's highly implied he joined the Golden Dawn and caused the schism that brought it down because of direct orders from the British Government as The Golden Dawn was becoming a hub for well known Irish Nationalists who wanted to British to relinquish control over their country. However in his personal diaries he writes actual sx dreams about evil-moustache-man. A man, who doesn't seem too stable himself but none the less has acquired and is collecting and publishing primary source material about the OTO runs a website the OTO has been trying to get shut down for many years but can't as it is hosted in Sweden. It is called parareligion (search "parareligion oto" in google to find it) and while it is hard to navigate and full of weird stuff its a treasure trove of primary source material covering the entire 100+ years of OTO history. It even, kinda sillily, logs conversations about my own Lodge Master and a "controversy" where he took 5$ from the dues of members (which he replaced immediately) to buy uhh some white stuff that goes in the nose. Throughout my time in the OTO I met people from many different esoteric Mystery Schools and cults ranging from Freemasons (by far the most down to Earth, chill and normal of all the people I met were all Masons with 32nd degree Scottish Rite Masons being regular people like one who was a university teacher and specialist in translating ancient Sanskrit into English) to several versions of reconstituted Golden Dawns, several reconstituted Rosicrucian Orders (the most cult and kinda pathetic just successful is AMORC and the most respectable and legitimate was the SRIA available only to Master Masons affiliated with the United Grand Lodge of England which most Masonry is), non-English Grand Lodge Masons like Memphis-Misraim which many of the OTO's own initiations are based off of, an ARG that turned into an actual cult called Project 89 that convinced me to bring around 10 friends to farm to start a commune which failed miserable (please do not harass anyone who was affiliated with 89, most have moved on and are very good people who just did some stupid stuff when their were younger), chaos magick groups such as DKMU and much more. If you're interested in asking me anything, really anything, about any of this just let me know. To close off I want to note I was introduced to the occult through TH-cam videos and the algorithm driving my interest in spirituality into deeper and deeper weirdness.
@@KevinM88TR11 Yep for better or worse long messages are sort of an inescapable habit of mine (and yep that is foreshadowing... though I suppose you can already see what I haven't yet written and I'm willing to bet it is quite long). Almost every single Mason I've met has been an outstanding person. Whether or not I'd seek out initiation myself is still a matter of personal debate (it always should be, if you're ever encouraged to be a Mason by a Mason they are not following proper etiquette) and it is a debate I plan on continuing holding off on forming any final decision about for another few years. You'll understand a bit better reading into this response but parts of the internal debate I'm having is, to not make the same mistake I did with the OTO, do the research required to know which Grand Lodge I'd want to seek out (and more personally whether or not what I've already undergone was enough for me and I'm better off being a solo practitioner). My experience with the OTO showed me that everything I loved about it was Masonic in origin and everything I detested about it had its origins with Crowley and twists on Freemasonry which existed in it even before he joined. Through the OTO I met many Masons from different Grand Lodges and different Rites and they were always without question the most stable, respectful, respectable and genuinely human out of the vast array of esoteric groups I encountered. The outstanding character of Masons, in my experience (this is important for reasons I'll get into but in short Masonry can change quite a bit depending where you are) goes for whether they be regular and accepted AKA allied to The Grand Lodge of England or belong to an "irregular"/"clandestine" tradition (derogatory words used by the former, regular and accepted masons, to describer the latter) with examples of "irregulars" being Continental Freemasonry which has alliances to The Grand Lodge of France and even more obscure traditions like Memphis Misraim and Co-Masonry both of which allow for both men and women Masons. Pretty much all of the Masons I've met are academics, actual professional builders/physical masons, coders (builders of the digital world,) artists (physical and digital) or dedicated mystics with any exceptions being students or professionals of some variety or another. The vast majority of Masons are Judeo-Christian at base (due to the history of Masonry and to the symbolism of the degrees being Judeo-Christian, the allegory of the building of Solomon's Temple forming the vast majority of it) but different Masons syncretize traditions like Neoplatonism, Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism or the Western Occult Tradition into their spirituality. Not a single Mason I've ever met, ever, has been a Satanist. The very idea of Masonry being Satanist is anachronistic, they'd be denied entry, and could only possibly be feasible if you consider that some Masons, not many but some, are Gnostics who believe that the God of the Bible is a lower creator God of a more supernal Unity (depending on the form of Gnostic this "lower God" could be like Plato's Demiurge who is an artisan-like figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe or in Sethian Gnosticism, a quite rare belief system for Masons as it clashes with much of the degrees, a truly corrupted being who the True God sent Jesus into the world to save us from). More commonly, and more usefully to understanding the Divinity that the majority of Masons acknowledge, Masons are Neoplatonic and if that sounds scary to traditional Christians consider that the Neoplatonic tradition influenced greatly the Catholic Saints Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo and there is an engraving of the father of Neoplatonsim (nowadays academically called Late Platonism), Plotinus, in the Vatican itself. Those Christians who are Protestant/Angligan/Other will be happy to know Neoplatonism influenced also influenced dozens of early and modern theologians including Origen (who possibly even went to school with Plotinus, historians debate whether it is the same Origin or another who just happened to live in the same city at the same time... who just happened to think somewhat similarly... all the same we have no concrete proof), Meister Eckhart and Arius (the man responsible for the divide in the Church that led to what we'd now call Eastern/Russian/Greek Orthodox). In fact its hard not to find some connection to Plotinus and Neoplatonism in all Western Christianity, all Western Esotericism and even within more philosophically inclined Islamic traditions like Sufism and it was quite popular to read Plotinus in the Islamic world during the Islamic Golden Age which gave the world such brilliance such as the very concept of mathematical algebra forever changing the world and allowing for much of modern science. The "flavour" of Freemasonry largely depends on the Lodge the Mason belongs to and the Grand Lodge to which they align. There is an allegiance between a very large group of Grand Lodges which form "regular and accepted" Masonry that share acceptance of degrees conferred in one as valid in another. This means a Mason from any allied Grand Lodge can travel almost anywhere in the world (for a list look up The United Grand Lodge of England's site and the page on Foreign Grand Lodges) and find brotherly hospitality and recognition. The reason The Grand Lodge of England is so often referenced is well.... that's where Freemasonry officially started. Freemasonry technically only has 3 degrees, called Blue Lodge, which ends with Master Mason. These degrees focus on morality, ethics, philosophy, history and what we'd generally now call The Liberal Arts (this being natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities and has nothing to do with Liberal politics). The degrees use an allegorical play, in which the candidate plays the protagonist despite not knowing exactly what will happen (a truly fascinating experience and honestly one of the coolest ways to learn I've ever experienced) and without saying more than in commonly known the first three degrees focus on the building of the Temple of Solomon, and the story of the chief architect, Hiram Abiff. After these three degrees there are semi-autonomous "rites" and "organizations". The teachings of these rites and organizations are not directly policed by Grand Lodge but must at least be in alignment with the morality and ethics taught in the first three degrees. This causes much confusion to those not familiar with Masonry. For example many people think Albert Pike's book Morals and Dogma represents the beliefs of all Masons but it doesn't it only describes one Masons views who was prominent in The United States' Scottish Rite's Southern Jurisdiction. That's quite a specific area and jurisdiction so you can understand the frustrations of say a British Mason or even more so a French Mason who isn't even connected to the Grand Lodge of England like the Scottish Rite is in the US having to deal with allegations they follow the words written by Albert Pike. To make understanding this easier the two most famous rites are the 33 degrees of Scottish Rite and the 10 degrees of York Rite. These rites are equal, often pictured as two staircases leading to the same place except the York Rite has steeper larger steps and the Scottish Rite has smaller steps. These both continue the journey of Hiram Abiff and include within them things like (in to particular order) Mark Masonry, Order Knights Templar, Royal Arch Masonry, Order of Malta (not the Catholic version, a Masonic one), Knights of The East and West and Knights of the Rose Croix. There is also a female rite called Eastern Star but it is not seen as equal to the other rites, something that has always bothered me. There are higher Organizations for women such as Daughters of The Nile but (regular and accepted) Masonry is primarily patriarchal. Besides the Rites there are also Organizations such as probably the most famous The Shriners or esoteric SRIA (a Masonic Rosicrucian Order and pretty much the only Rosicrucian Order I've encountered which didn't feel like a scam but that is just my limited experience). The SRIA is worth dwelling on as members from which created The Golden Dawn that gave birth to much of modern occultism as well as, fascinatingly, The Royal Society and indirectly because of this The Royal Institute (meaning without Masonry and the SRIA we may well live in a world of darkness as The Royal Society is where Faraday first demonstrated and proved the existence of the electromagnetic field to power a light. To give you an idea of just how monumentally important this group is The Fellows and Foreign Members of The Royal Society include the ranks of Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutherford, Paul Dirac, Lise Meitner, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Dorothy Hodgkin. It is entirely secular and separate from Freemasonry and the SRIA but was created by their members in a time where there was still a degree of religious persecution of science going on as a place for free thought and well funded experimentation. It persists to this day and while membership and fellowship is quite lax (somehow Elon made his way in) there is still much it does worthy of praise and attention. For example probably the best introduction to Quantum Field Theory you'll find is a YT video, delivered behind the same desk Faraday demonstrated the Electromagnetic Field, where David Tong gives an excellent and engaging talk)
@@KevinM88TR11 Just an interesting side note about something I'm only discovering now myself so I don't know much about it but apparently there is a body of female freemasonry that is seen as "regular" and recognized by The United Grand Lodge of England. It was only accepted after it stopped being mixed and only had women members, before that being "irregular". It's called Order of Women Freemasons. Co-Masonry is a different thing and is considered "irregular". I'll have to read more to learn whether they confer Scottish and York Rite and whether Women Masons and Male Masons associate with the United Grand Lodge of England "meet on the level" which while now a common English expression comes from Masonry and means see each other as equals. If they do... this greatly increases my respect for the UGLE (yeh, I've been writing United Grand Lodge of England because their initials sound silly... I mean UGLE... really? I suppose it does ward off those who'd judge a book by its covers, or an Order by its abbreviation, but it still is a bit silly)
Wow! So much information in a single message! I see you are really deep into the occult things and have a passion for this. May I ask, what is it for you personally? What does it give you? Is it knowledge, meeting interesting people, emotional draw? Just curious
America doesn’t have the corner on spiritual money making. Eastern religions have monopolized the market outside Christianity and other monotheistic religions for centuries 😂🤣
Gurus are a Big,Big Scam. And the ones from India you really really watch your watch wallet & never invite them into your home .Anything that teaches love & needs money or your time like FB is usually as a scam. Find a library book on "How to Think critically".
The ONLY positive side of this is the love, support and connection people show each other. As many comments have pointed out, it’s an extremely unregulated and exploitative movement.
I wish the narrator cited the claim that "In the U.S. there are almost 450,000 religious groups that in France are considered to be cults." That seems kind of a high number.
You can certainly see where Mormonism and Scientology came from. I'm not religious, but I recall some old Christian apologist saying, 'When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing - they believe in any old rubbish'.
Mormons, otherwise referred to as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, do believe in God and the Biblical Jesus Christ. They view him as the son of God who died on the cross for the sins of mankind...just like other Christian religions. Yes, some doctrines are different and they do have the Book of Mormon as well as the Bible, but they also have faith in the same Jesus Christ.
@@kristinab1078 I'm sorry, but you're wrong and someone lied to you. Mormons believe in a Jesus of their own imagination. They think he is Lucifer's brother and the child of Father God and one of his many wives. Absolutely NONE of that is Biblical. It's actually blasphemy and heresy.
@@kristinab1078 within all of mainstream Christianity there has never been a reputable authority of any kind that considers Mormons to be Christian. Mormons just created a new religion and inserted Jesus into it . Just own up to it and enjoy your beliefs.
Some aspects are meditation and mindfulness. This is healing. When somebody although ask you for a lot of money or to do dangerous things and the whole thing moves around a "leader" this is problematic.
The occult, sorcerery and New Age is demonic. God sent his only begotten son,Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. We must repent, believe in Jesus Christ and turn from such sin.
You can't even get mad with those people 😛. The world is so messed up you can't blame people for disappearing into their own little sexually charged world and living in denial of the world's realities. 😢
I feel most sorry for the people at the Vegas con...how vulnerable must you be to borrow and give money to someone who is responsible for multiple deaths
Astounding: His declaration that putting people in (totally unnecessary) danger is "the price of leadership". No, sir. That's absolutely NOT leadership. That's ego -- and yours is apparently still quite intact.
I listened to a podcast about their deaths, it played real audio from the retreat and it was bone chilling. He was telling them to let go, in an unventilated tent with a massive fire, let go, it won’t hurt you… and no suprise ppl died
Sometimes people defend the leader saying that the ones Who died were weak or already sick, so if they survive they are strong and ready. It's very Wicked, but many situations work like that in everyday Life without even realizing. So some of these cults are fare from being "alien" they're an extreme version of ordinary Life and so far familiar to the mind.
I remember some americans coming to my country South Africa selling idiotic courses like advance leadership for more than $3000, people flocked to sign up. The engineer in me analysed the whole scenario and i never fell for such crap
@@pointa2b388 lol it's part of the american myth of becoming rich by commerce. Selling more is the sign of success. In many European countries there was a different kind of applied american mindset: the middle management in local enterprises aka a bunch of highly paid egos on the loose. Typically they came with mentality of solving what these silly locals cannot solve. They never spoke the local language and they had all sorts of extravagant behaviour that would never be condoned to someone else. They never solved anything, actually did worse, then went away angry saying that we are "lost cases".
I'm glad I was delivered from the New Age hive mindset. I have a whole podcast about how to unravel from the New Age mentality, but it's so difficult to tell others about it without talking to a brick wall of "enlightenment".
I hear you on that. As a Zen teacher, I have to continually remind people that claims of enlightenment don't give anyone a pass on being ethical, and don't excuse taking advantage of others. Critical thinking is vital, as well as not putting anyone on a pedestal. As one famous Zen master - Shunryu Suzuki - put it, "There are, strictly speaking, no enlightened people, there is only enlightened activity."
yea....there are a tremendous amount of uneducated, very unstudied people.... there are however... very powerful spiritual teachings..... the entire new world.... advanced weapons advanced tech advanced propulsion... was all on the back of one woman called maria orsich... who was a HELL of a psychic. and brought more power to the nazi's and now the rest of the world that you honestly wouldnt even believe if youd read or here what a true "spiritual" master is capable of.
@JaneSmith-nothingness She wasnt at first. but you try saying *no* to the 3rd reich and i guess *adept* would be a more proper term. this womans consciousness was able to find other consciousnesses hundreds and thousands of light years away.... and relay extremely detailed information.... they were building shit in 1935 and the nazi's found them out. her and a group and citizens from all walks of life in germany had sold everything they owned and started buying exotic alloys and all kinds of equipment... the secret police eventually caught on. seized everything. hitler himself said.... no... let them keep building. they did... eventually? hitler had her find the draco. and by 1941 they were equpping U boats with anti-g pulse engines. the first truly 5th gen human craft to hit orbit and settle on the far side of the moon was a fucking german submarine... it already had most of the needed design capabilities.. it didnt take much modification. it was practical. they did it. after byrd got his ass kicked in the arctic... the germans did the flyby of the white house just a couple years later.... if you look at the old photosand footage? those ufo's were flying luftwaffe formation. -_-... then they made a deal with the US. we got the tech... they got the industrial ability to produce... thus the fruits of "paperclip" were born in making the US a dominant power in space. and i ended up in the later generation of these programs.

@@mendingwall3823 The law of attraction is demonic! Stay away from anything New Age! It is the oldest deception in the book. Satan wants humanity to turn away from the true living God! Your creator.

They all claim to want to remove negativity but it's through adversity that real change can happen. to suffer through hardship and find gratitude is the real development.
Unicole's basic narrative is the same one Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles used to gain a following: An alien sent to earth to take on a human body to communicate information with humans.
It's also very similar to the prophets in Christianity, Judaism and Islam (and probably many more religions). Change "alien" for "angel" and there you have it. Those recent cults give us a good insight at how those huge religious movements started. At the beginning, it was a narcissist conman who convinced enough people.
@@CodeLife_12 No it is not, a prophet in Christianity is a human who is getting messages from God. And not an angel. I can't speak for the other religions. The only thing similar is telling the message. But that's about it.

“That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 NKJV This is all re packaged occultism with the same lie that was told by satan in the garden. The desire for hidden knowledge and the promise to be like God.
Same MO, different generation. Genesis 3:5 KJV “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Signs of the times. Not good.
Stunning how many unhappy broken people are out there looking for answers in all the wrong places. If we had strong governments who actually cared about the welfare of the people they represent the world and mental state of people wouldn't be so broken and damaged.
@Kathleen Reid Stunning how many people are still marching along to society's ever increasing beat, just like Fritz Laing's movie where people are so much treated like machines by the system they are in, that they start becoming machine like. Just look at a video of what goes on inside an Amazon ''fulfilment'' centre. Nothing is being fulfilled but the meglomania of a few guys at the top of this model, we all know who some of them are.
Fritz Laing's Metropolis was kinda predicting the times we are entering now...and people are starting to run in the other direction. Can't really blame them.
m.th-cam.com/video/Sx-vMdGqL3A/w-d-xo.html here's the link to the original uncut movie, some people might prefer the shorter version... its easily found.
It's not just the government. It's society itself that rejects people like these who don't fit the assigned norms. They are not allowed to be themselves. So of course these "rejects" will escape reality and find a place where they feel they belong. Even if they have to create their own communities at the expense of their unique individuality. Governments only get involved once these groups call themselves religions and want tax breaks. Or once a mass suicide occurs. By then it's too late. The way to prevent this is to accept others as they are. It's really not that hard yet here we are.
That's not the government's job you stupid call me how dumb are you you actually think of the government is in place to give you mental fulfillment you're completely stupid and a communist and you've obviously fallen for many of these things cuz you're looking to join a cult well you can join one and it seems like you already are the cult of communism and liberalism
new age spirituality in all its forms is big business people! when assessing information always consider who stands to profit financially for example through speeches, seminars, self help courses, books, other products & services etc.
4:03 "Currently valued at $12,000" Umm, do you mean to say that the entire New Age industry is worth less than the value of a decent used car? I find that hard to believe
I love when they get to the part where the guy says he wants $28,000 of your money and nobody just stands up and says “what the fuck are you talking about dude?“ And leaves.
Amazing! These poor people don't realize that they are paying this guru's wages and helping him keep up with a life style he once had. $29K x 40 to 100 people over a weekend conference. That's not bad - right. Thank you to the creator of this channel.
the woman at 10:39 claims that 432 hertz is the frequency of the earth. She is incorrect, the earth frequency is 7.83 hertz (been moving towards 8 hertz). Sure, many claim that 432 Hertz and 8 Hertz are intrinsically linked because when we tune a musical instrument at 432 Hertz, we get a C-Note at 256 Hertz? She should have spent some time reading about Shumanns Resonance, which is the true earth frequency. More spiritual bypassing with no factual proof or evidence of anything, just based off subjective interpretations.

It's interesting to me that all new age ends up being is church in which you worship yourself.... it's got Sunday preaching, basically hymns, events that are identical to prayer.... it's literally just a way to put oneself in the place of God.
I'm an astrologer/tarot reader and even I find a lot of this too much. These things are only supposed to be tools. They're not supposed to control or isolate people and when someone claims to have all the answers, run.
I'm glad to hear a voice of reason from someone who practices occultism. It makes me feel bad to enjoy things like tarot and astrology when there are those truly hurting people for money. Whether it's going to actually change your life or not isn't the point. Only you can change your life.

Two things you really have to learn early in life, is to say "-Give me proof" and "-Citation needed". Some of these people have obviously never heard of it.
They are obsessed with always becoming something better. God, its exhausting.

I dont know how Hinduism or Buddhism could possibly enable you to experience you true and best self. Meditation is is an evidence based practice that has many positive effects that result from it.

There are people out there who are truly dedicating themselves to assist and help others, unfortunately it is the minority among the minority. I grew up in Los Angeles, moved around Latin American and was for some reason confronted with these new age advocates. I am currently living in Alto Paraiso de Goias a hub for these activities. Not uncommon to see hari krishnas, next to shamans, next to yoga gurus, etc. Sacred medicines here is the weekend activity of choice, I am Native American and these medicines were always the last resource of use, once all other methods were exhausted. 98% of these "brothers and sisters of light" are some of the most egocentric, rude, explorative and clueless people, i have met in my life.
Man wanting to be just like God is nothing new. Selling false hope for money is nothing new. False teachers come ang go. Gurus do not waste their time with poor folks.
I cannot begin to tell y'all how very, very grateful I am to have escaped from California a few years ago. I'm not being superior - I went to one group after another. Shamans. Empowerments. Yogis. People with "spiritual" names. Different kinds of meditation. Thousands and thousands of dollars spent. Grateful to have lost every last shred of interest in these "gurus" and the other followers. HOW much I love my kittenz, the opera on Saturday morning and a lovely cup of coffee ALONE in my garden. Gurus. Yes, indeed. ❤️💛💚 Love and karmic faerie dust to all. PS - I'm OLD...does anyone remember a radio ad - I think it was on 95.5 KLOS in Los Angeles - where a sitar or tanpour (so) was droning away and the voice actor came on and said, in a thick, fake Indian accent: "HOW TO REACH ENLIGHTENMENT: Sit naked in a room and listen to Pink Floyd."

The Haitian "Guru" Durek was straight calling on JINN to possess that woman temporarily & everything he needed to know about her they told him.

At 13:00 the similarity between “New Age” men’s group interactions and “Right Wing” men’s groups came to mind. Programs aimed at meeting needs people aren’t having met.
But isn't there such a thing as healthy ways of getting needs met in a healthy way and an unhealthy way? By this logic, every single type of religion and spirituality and wellness program would be toxic, because there are these cults and crazy "spiritual and self-help" leaders out there. Overall, I think that everything from 5:14-14:49 seemed to me possibly more good than bad, I don't know, but I didn't see anything really troubling in those parts of the documentary. I think it's good for men and women to gather and get into their bodies, connect to deeper levels of their being, and talk about their emotions. I do think these types of things can make participants vulnerable to manipulation, so I would have to see and know more to make a judgement. And there are lots of problems with what was shown during this clip from 5:14-14:49, things like cultural appropriation, spiritual ego, etc. But hopefully there is healing going on in those spaces shown, and in spaces like these. People in our society need a lot of healing, we're living in a very traumatized world. There has to be some good healing spaces in the world, even as we recognize what a widespread problem it is that there are so many people taking advantage and doing harm. So we need to be able to discern between them, but not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Worse than letting someone else tell them what to think...they pay money to have someone tell them what to think!!

Yes that Durek probably fits the profile very well... I just wonder how gullible people can be to believe in all this c..p, or is it just that they all really understand the dupe but just go with it in order to be attached to the latest hype that attracts the most famous people? A big cynic fraud is all of this, only arranged so the " leaders" and " shamans" can earn the enormous wealth they all say they do not need... oh yes??? And I feel sad for the Norwegians having a princess that is so gullible that she falls for every new age fraudster out there, but then she is in the trade of new age so perhaps she is more cynical than she looks. She had this " school" some years ago where people could come and speak to angels....
That woman goes to see the shaman because of relationship issues and is blown away that he is able to tell her that she wants "a relationship where she doesn't have to take care of someone."
All he did was rephrase "You don't want a codependent relationship," which would have sounded too obvious to appear insightful.
Ok its the part where he's like, "your body is releasing a lot of sweat" while she is visibly not sweating. These people have waaaaay too much money.

The spiritual wellness industry is valued in the billions in case anyone was wondering. It’s not a regulated industry and whilst there are many well meaning spiritual teachers there are equally a great deal of narcissists and ego driven, power hungry people hiding under the guise of wanting to help others. Walking a spiritual path can feel incredibly lonely, unpicking all your conditioning and trauma can leave you feeling vulnerable which is how these self imposed gurus manage to hook and exploit people, they are very clever in what tactics they use. Not to mention abusing indigenous practices (sweat lodges, plant medicine etc) with no real respect for it but simply trying to make money from it. This is why it’s extremely important to tap into your own discernment and intuition.
Of course new age shit is demonic. Follow Christianity don’t be a fool.
Even intution can be ambigous the problem with these communities is most of them are run by sociopaths. Connecting with your own discernment and intution doesn't automatically fail proof you fron sociopaths. Using logic and reason over emotions can keep people out of danger.

You do not need all this expensive stuff . If you sincerely want to connect with the healing powers of nature, just go outside and stay with the elements alone some time. They teach you, what you need to know . Animals , plants , stones, rivers, air, everything can teach you. Cost no money, but your full awareness and devotion in your daily life . Sometimes on your way you also may meet some human person to learn from . Then it is not about money but choice.
I agree with you. 🌹

Best of all? Mainstream science agrees with this claim :D Being in nature (or even just in a park or garden) is good for you. Breathing the air outside, in nature, is good for you. Getting a bit of sunlight (just daylight, no need to sunbathe) is good for you. Gardening - digging in the earth - is good for you. Interacting with animals is good for you. It doesn't have to be "spiritual", just spending time outside in nature and paying attention to the world around you.

This documentary just made me realise how desperate us humans are for connection, love and connection to the divine. Which is ironically free for all to experience. Our desperation is easily exploited by greedy tricksters. Follow your own heart and don't be seduced by shamans or even plant medicines, although they have their place, they are useless without a solid spiritual basis and practice you do sober. It's good to experiment and taste a few things, but as your get older you realise you need a solid anchor to come back to. Find those who walk the walk not only talk the talk 💓
yes agree about plant medicine. It definitely works but it has to be part of you and your lifestyle or else it is useless. Ancient peoples were much closer to these plants and nature so it worked for them and they created system of plant methods. But you cannot expect plants to work on some desperate, middle aged,fat slob with no spiritual discipline. Which is the majority. Human dross.
Anyone can connect with the divine and you can do it yourself. All you need to do is quiet the soul and mind.

Any sort of self-improvement thing that asks you to "be more vulnerable" immediately and is automatically assuming you need to be more vulnerable is showing you a neon-red flag. Even therapists are not supposed to ask anyone to talk about upsetting things until they are ready to and if/when it does it is supposed to come out organically when the client brings it up. Also so many people have the problem of making themselves too vulnerable and need to be more self-protective and I think that group is over-represented in the group of spiritual seekers.
Just went over this with my new therapist 🙌
@@minstac1530 What do you mean?
Great documentary!! These so called "spiritual leaders/Gurus" are sociopathic & their followers need a really good mental health licensed therapist. I'm sadden by this. I've been scammed like this in the past as an ex-new ager and devotee to empty self development seminars/workshops filled with smoke and mirror grandiose fake ideas that lead no where fast. I got the right professional help and came to my senses. I have a simple boring life with lots of emotional sobriety wanting to be a just an everyday human with two feet on the ground. Much happier person now experiencing the ups and downs of being a human. I even have a hard time now with Corporate, whose culture expects you to be super human and have unrealistic goals that cause burn out, group think, and unrealistic values.
I noticed the new-age is infiltrating the corporate world as well.

This is a very good documentary. Very, very thorough and it covered so many new age "gurus". People need to be aware of them.
Don’t be daft.
They also need to avoid them as they offer nothing but a form of temporary emotional solace and nothing else. It all caters to the insecure and needy ego and edifies no one nor instructs them how to transcend these insecurities like our work does.

@@chargerdave1971 : Hello Brother. Thank You for your reply.
Hmm, sometimes it makes me happy that I'm a gay man, as these particular, types of problems are likely, never to effect me. Scientist and researchers in human nature and biology, would tell us that woman do these things because it is in their biological, nature to do so, in order to attract a mate. It's doubtful they are looking to actually, be physically/sexually abused but they put their self worth in their outward appearance and then, this sadly, usually, becomes to end result.
Now, for the purpose of this discussion here; you are telling me that this "guru," this "spiritual leader," seems to have condoned this. I'm not sure if he was promoting this sort of thing, or simply, explaining what usually, happens when women carry on like this. Then, at the same time, society will continue to tell women to put all their focus on the exterior in order for them to be loved and have any self worth, what-so-ever. So really; what are women supposed to do. You are damned if you do and you are damned if you don't, sort of thing, so it seems, they simply, cannot win.
So here we seem to come to the crux of the matter; our inability to separate Spirit from Flesh. It has been a struggle since the dawn of time and since the beginning of our species. Even those who claim to be "Spiritual Leaders" do not always, have a good, grasp on this, thus where the abuse enters in, thus making all spiritual groups and spiritual pursuits look bad. Look phony and end up being perceived as a scam. Maybe many ARE, JUST THAT, but not all. I do not want to be SO, disillusioned as to think that NO, person and NO, group out there, are not TRULY, seeking Spiritual Growth and Evolution and the desire to Emerge to Become BETTER, Human Beings, overall. But I will tell you now; any spiritual pursuits that become big business, are doomed to fail. They are doomed to miss the mark, overall. Developing Spiritually is NOT, and I repeat NOT, about becoming RICH, MATERIALLY. Never has been and never will be. Because everything in the U.S. is about CAPITALISM, and GETTING AHEAD, MATERIALLY; even most, Spiritual Leaders in the U.S., miss the mark here.
I'm not American, myself and am in my late 50s now, and have spent an entire lifetime on a Spiritual Quest. And I DO, mean a LIFETIME, as this began as far back as I can remember. I've always had this desire to be a better quality Human Being and not get overly, wrapped up in material things. So I can readily, see the pitfalls of almost, all the groups and leaders I see presented here. My message though, is that; one cannot ONLY, pursue the material life and fleshly desires alone, as we are beings made up of MORE, than that, and they will NOT, make us happy, in the end. Being comfortable and being happy are two, vastly, different things. Correct? So whether all these groups and individuals are scams or not, does not mean we must scrap the entire thing, as the world and humanity will not be any better off if we do this, either. Correct? We are already, going too far down that road, as is, and need to pull back more, now, as is, rather than go even further down a very, unwise and destructive path that could spell the doom for all of us, in the end. Correct?

Is it just me or did the Shaman Durek "healing" of Alexis seem like something out of an SNL skit? This all seems to be a hip modern-day version of the old-school faith healing revivalist preachers.
The very unfortunate thing is the misappropriated term of Guru. Again, Indian Spiritual terms have been taken over from a rich and authentic culture to a consumer/materialistic culture.

I'm an ex-member of the Ordo Templi Orientis. I was in it for 10 years. The OTO is an occult organization which started in Germany in the late 1800s as an attempt to create an "Academia Masonica" which would bring together various Masonic rites (Masonry only has 3 regular degrees, called Blue Lodge, and everything after that is done through semi-autonomous "rites" like the most popular Scottish Rite which has 33 degrees or York Rite which has 10 degrees) to learn from one another (and bring those which had existed in other countries into Germany) as well as be a reconstitution of the 1776 Bavarian Illuminati. On top of this the OTO claimed to hold a "key" which one of the co-founders Kellner says he discovered in his travels meeting and unifying Eastern and Western spiritualities). Eventually Aleister Crowley joined and, as is his norm, took over entirely. He reformed the Order to match his own self created religion called Thelema (a hodge podge of many different religions but which focus on him being a Prophet of "The New Aeon of Horus". I was a dedicated Thelemite for around 13 years (including my time in the OTO) and after a series of weird personal events sought out the local chapter of the OTO to ask them for help and see if I wanted to join. I was a little stunned to see they had so few members and their temple space was running out of temporary rentals above an occult book store. All the same these people had chill vibes and were able to talk about things I just could not with anyone else as there's so much esoteric jargon in Thelema telling someone like a friend or family about Nuit, Hadit, Ra-Hoor-Khuit, Babalon, The City of Pyramids etc etc is near impossible. I decided to join. They offer a 0th degree called Minerval which allows you to attend Lodge meetings (non-members can only come to the after gathering, usually at a pub, bar or restaurant or attend the public demonstrations of Crowley's "Gnostic" Mass which in reality is just a Thelemic Mass based off the Mass of Russian Orthodox Christianity... but be warned if you go the eucharist, called Cakes of Light, contain a single drop of either blood or semen put into the massive batch before cooking it to kill any viruses possibly present) and the 0th degree is supposed to be an unbinding way to see if you want to go further or back away... but in reality the ritual contains vows which are far from unbinding. I progressed through several of the degrees before I left. I left for many different reasons but was in it for 10 years (I'm about to turn 31). My Lodge itself was full of pretty normal people but the Grand Lodge which ran out of the US began to be something I questioned more and more especially when one of the highest rank members, James Wasserman, begun outwardly spouting far-right ideals, posting pics of himself smiling with people like Roger Stone and Milo Yiannopoulos. If you search up "Proud Boys founder" on Google Images several pics in you'll see a picture with a man on the right wearing a shirt that has a unicursal hexagram and the number 93, those are Thelemic symbols. Looking into it he was an OTO member as were others in the Proud Boys due to James Wasserman's militant Trumpism. The man in the pic sadly passed away due to an overdose. Then there's Augustus Sol Invictus who was only booted from the Order when public relations got bad as he was a keynote speaker at the tragic hate rally Unite The Right. He was not kicked out for his views which were known beforehand but for making the news... oh and he was a candidate for the Libertarian Party nomination in the 2016 United States Senate election in Florida, was the publisher of Revolutionary Conservative, a magazine which calls for a violent far-right white uprising. To add to that In response to Invictus's campaign, the chairman of the Libertarian Party resigned due to Invictus calling him a "violent Fascist and Neo-Nazi" whose ideology was incompatible with libertarianism and saying he did not want to be part of the same party. The chairman also accused Invictus of supporting eugenics and of "sadistically dismembering a goat in a ritualistic sacrifice". Invictus responded by admitting that he once wrote a paper advocating eugenics but saying that he has since "changed his mind". He said he had sacrificed the goat and drunk its blood as part of a ritual to give thanks for surviving a pilgrimage in spring 2013, but denied it was "sadistic". So yeh while my Lodge was full of normal people the same cannot be said of many others especially those in America and Australia.
I started being far more critical and doing research, openly breaking my vows to keep silent about all I've experienced and seeking out leaks about future degrees. I found out that the Order had actually essentially died out in the past (in the 70s I think, I'd have to look it up to find exact dates) and an author named Francis King wrote a book called The Secret Rituals of the OTO with every degree's ceremony and teachings included. The book matched precisely my experiences although certain signs, grips and passcodes were changed following the book being published. I knew the OTO was openly leading towards sx magick, that didn't bother me, but what I found and read in the final degree teachings was far more messed up than the sort of thing I was expecting. Those interested can easily google "Secret Rituals of the OTO pdf" and find it to see what I'm talking about. I also found out there was a long history of far-right tendencies within the OTO going back to Crowley. When the OTO first came to America the FBI puts tabs on them and heard the leader state that he believed evil-moustache-man from WW2 was right in thinking Germans were superior to others. Crowley's own opinions on evil-moustache-man are harder to pin down as the British government has declassified the fact he was working for British secret intelligence against Germany during WW1. It's highly implied he joined the Golden Dawn and caused the schism that brought it down because of direct orders from the British Government as The Golden Dawn was becoming a hub for well known Irish Nationalists who wanted to British to relinquish control over their country. However in his personal diaries he writes actual sx dreams about evil-moustache-man. A man, who doesn't seem too stable himself but none the less has acquired and is collecting and publishing primary source material about the OTO runs a website the OTO has been trying to get shut down for many years but can't as it is hosted in Sweden. It is called parareligion (search "parareligion oto" in google to find it) and while it is hard to navigate and full of weird stuff its a treasure trove of primary source material covering the entire 100+ years of OTO history. It even, kinda sillily, logs conversations about my own Lodge Master and a "controversy" where he took 5$ from the dues of members (which he replaced immediately) to buy uhh some white stuff that goes in the nose.
Throughout my time in the OTO I met people from many different esoteric Mystery Schools and cults ranging from Freemasons (by far the most down to Earth, chill and normal of all the people I met were all Masons with 32nd degree Scottish Rite Masons being regular people like one who was a university teacher and specialist in translating ancient Sanskrit into English) to several versions of reconstituted Golden Dawns, several reconstituted Rosicrucian Orders (the most cult and kinda pathetic just successful is AMORC and the most respectable and legitimate was the SRIA available only to Master Masons affiliated with the United Grand Lodge of England which most Masonry is), non-English Grand Lodge Masons like Memphis-Misraim which many of the OTO's own initiations are based off of, an ARG that turned into an actual cult called Project 89 that convinced me to bring around 10 friends to farm to start a commune which failed miserable (please do not harass anyone who was affiliated with 89, most have moved on and are very good people who just did some stupid stuff when their were younger), chaos magick groups such as DKMU and much more.
If you're interested in asking me anything, really anything, about any of this just let me know. To close off I want to note I was introduced to the occult through TH-cam videos and the algorithm driving my interest in spirituality into deeper and deeper weirdness.
@@KevinM88TR11 Yep for better or worse long messages are sort of an inescapable habit of mine (and yep that is foreshadowing... though I suppose you can already see what I haven't yet written and I'm willing to bet it is quite long). Almost every single Mason I've met has been an outstanding person. Whether or not I'd seek out initiation myself is still a matter of personal debate (it always should be, if you're ever encouraged to be a Mason by a Mason they are not following proper etiquette) and it is a debate I plan on continuing holding off on forming any final decision about for another few years. You'll understand a bit better reading into this response but parts of the internal debate I'm having is, to not make the same mistake I did with the OTO, do the research required to know which Grand Lodge I'd want to seek out (and more personally whether or not what I've already undergone was enough for me and I'm better off being a solo practitioner). My experience with the OTO showed me that everything I loved about it was Masonic in origin and everything I detested about it had its origins with Crowley and twists on Freemasonry which existed in it even before he joined. Through the OTO I met many Masons from different Grand Lodges and different Rites and they were always without question the most stable, respectful, respectable and genuinely human out of the vast array of esoteric groups I encountered.
The outstanding character of Masons, in my experience (this is important for reasons I'll get into but in short Masonry can change quite a bit depending where you are) goes for whether they be regular and accepted AKA allied to The Grand Lodge of England or belong to an "irregular"/"clandestine" tradition (derogatory words used by the former, regular and accepted masons, to describer the latter) with examples of "irregulars" being Continental Freemasonry which has alliances to The Grand Lodge of France and even more obscure traditions like Memphis Misraim and Co-Masonry both of which allow for both men and women Masons. Pretty much all of the Masons I've met are academics, actual professional builders/physical masons, coders (builders of the digital world,) artists (physical and digital) or dedicated mystics with any exceptions being students or professionals of some variety or another.
The vast majority of Masons are Judeo-Christian at base (due to the history of Masonry and to the symbolism of the degrees being Judeo-Christian, the allegory of the building of Solomon's Temple forming the vast majority of it) but different Masons syncretize traditions like Neoplatonism, Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism or the Western Occult Tradition into their spirituality. Not a single Mason I've ever met, ever, has been a Satanist. The very idea of Masonry being Satanist is anachronistic, they'd be denied entry, and could only possibly be feasible if you consider that some Masons, not many but some, are Gnostics who believe that the God of the Bible is a lower creator God of a more supernal Unity (depending on the form of Gnostic this "lower God" could be like Plato's Demiurge who is an artisan-like figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe or in Sethian Gnosticism, a quite rare belief system for Masons as it clashes with much of the degrees, a truly corrupted being who the True God sent Jesus into the world to save us from). More commonly, and more usefully to understanding the Divinity that the majority of Masons acknowledge, Masons are Neoplatonic and if that sounds scary to traditional Christians consider that the Neoplatonic tradition influenced greatly the Catholic Saints Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo and there is an engraving of the father of Neoplatonsim (nowadays academically called Late Platonism), Plotinus, in the Vatican itself. Those Christians who are Protestant/Angligan/Other will be happy to know Neoplatonism influenced also influenced dozens of early and modern theologians including Origen (who possibly even went to school with Plotinus, historians debate whether it is the same Origin or another who just happened to live in the same city at the same time... who just happened to think somewhat similarly... all the same we have no concrete proof), Meister Eckhart and Arius (the man responsible for the divide in the Church that led to what we'd now call Eastern/Russian/Greek Orthodox). In fact its hard not to find some connection to Plotinus and Neoplatonism in all Western Christianity, all Western Esotericism and even within more philosophically inclined Islamic traditions like Sufism and it was quite popular to read Plotinus in the Islamic world during the Islamic Golden Age which gave the world such brilliance such as the very concept of mathematical algebra forever changing the world and allowing for much of modern science.
The "flavour" of Freemasonry largely depends on the Lodge the Mason belongs to and the Grand Lodge to which they align. There is an allegiance between a very large group of Grand Lodges which form "regular and accepted" Masonry that share acceptance of degrees conferred in one as valid in another. This means a Mason from any allied Grand Lodge can travel almost anywhere in the world (for a list look up The United Grand Lodge of England's site and the page on Foreign Grand Lodges) and find brotherly hospitality and recognition. The reason The Grand Lodge of England is so often referenced is well.... that's where Freemasonry officially started. Freemasonry technically only has 3 degrees, called Blue Lodge, which ends with Master Mason. These degrees focus on morality, ethics, philosophy, history and what we'd generally now call The Liberal Arts (this being natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities and has nothing to do with Liberal politics). The degrees use an allegorical play, in which the candidate plays the protagonist despite not knowing exactly what will happen (a truly fascinating experience and honestly one of the coolest ways to learn I've ever experienced) and without saying more than in commonly known the first three degrees focus on the building of the Temple of Solomon, and the story of the chief architect, Hiram Abiff.
After these three degrees there are semi-autonomous "rites" and "organizations". The teachings of these rites and organizations are not directly policed by Grand Lodge but must at least be in alignment with the morality and ethics taught in the first three degrees. This causes much confusion to those not familiar with Masonry. For example many people think Albert Pike's book Morals and Dogma represents the beliefs of all Masons but it doesn't it only describes one Masons views who was prominent in The United States' Scottish Rite's Southern Jurisdiction. That's quite a specific area and jurisdiction so you can understand the frustrations of say a British Mason or even more so a French Mason who isn't even connected to the Grand Lodge of England like the Scottish Rite is in the US having to deal with allegations they follow the words written by Albert Pike. To make understanding this easier the two most famous rites are the 33 degrees of Scottish Rite and the 10 degrees of York Rite. These rites are equal, often pictured as two staircases leading to the same place except the York Rite has steeper larger steps and the Scottish Rite has smaller steps. These both continue the journey of Hiram Abiff and include within them things like (in to particular order) Mark Masonry, Order Knights Templar, Royal Arch Masonry, Order of Malta (not the Catholic version, a Masonic one), Knights of The East and West and Knights of the Rose Croix. There is also a female rite called Eastern Star but it is not seen as equal to the other rites, something that has always bothered me. There are higher Organizations for women such as Daughters of The Nile but (regular and accepted) Masonry is primarily patriarchal.
Besides the Rites there are also Organizations such as probably the most famous The Shriners or esoteric SRIA (a Masonic Rosicrucian Order and pretty much the only Rosicrucian Order I've encountered which didn't feel like a scam but that is just my limited experience). The SRIA is worth dwelling on as members from which created The Golden Dawn that gave birth to much of modern occultism as well as, fascinatingly, The Royal Society and indirectly because of this The Royal Institute (meaning without Masonry and the SRIA we may well live in a world of darkness as The Royal Society is where Faraday first demonstrated and proved the existence of the electromagnetic field to power a light. To give you an idea of just how monumentally important this group is The Fellows and Foreign Members of The Royal Society include the ranks of Stephen Hawking, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutherford, Paul Dirac, Lise Meitner, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Dorothy Hodgkin. It is entirely secular and separate from Freemasonry and the SRIA but was created by their members in a time where there was still a degree of religious persecution of science going on as a place for free thought and well funded experimentation. It persists to this day and while membership and fellowship is quite lax (somehow Elon made his way in) there is still much it does worthy of praise and attention. For example probably the best introduction to Quantum Field Theory you'll find is a YT video, delivered behind the same desk Faraday demonstrated the Electromagnetic Field, where David Tong gives an excellent and engaging talk)
@@KevinM88TR11 Just an interesting side note about something I'm only discovering now myself so I don't know much about it but apparently there is a body of female freemasonry that is seen as "regular" and recognized by The United Grand Lodge of England. It was only accepted after it stopped being mixed and only had women members, before that being "irregular". It's called Order of Women Freemasons. Co-Masonry is a different thing and is considered "irregular". I'll have to read more to learn whether they confer Scottish and York Rite and whether Women Masons and Male Masons associate with the United Grand Lodge of England "meet on the level" which while now a common English expression comes from Masonry and means see each other as equals. If they do... this greatly increases my respect for the UGLE (yeh, I've been writing United Grand Lodge of England because their initials sound silly... I mean UGLE... really? I suppose it does ward off those who'd judge a book by its covers, or an Order by its abbreviation, but it still is a bit silly)

You can certainly see where Mormonism and Scientology came from. I'm not religious, but I recall some old Christian apologist saying, 'When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing - they believe in any old rubbish'.
Mormons, otherwise referred to as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, do believe in God and the Biblical Jesus Christ. They view him as the son of God who died on the cross for the sins of mankind...just like other Christian religions. Yes, some doctrines are different and they do have the Book of Mormon as well as the Bible, but they also have faith in the same Jesus Christ.
@@kristinab1078 I'm sorry, but you're wrong and someone lied to you. Mormons believe in a Jesus of their own imagination. They think he is Lucifer's brother and the child of Father God and one of his many wives. Absolutely NONE of that is Biblical. It's actually blasphemy and heresy.

@@kristinab1078 within all of mainstream Christianity there has never been a reputable authority of any kind that considers Mormons to be Christian. Mormons just created a new religion and inserted Jesus into it . Just own up to it and enjoy your beliefs.

I feel most sorry for the people at the Vegas con...how vulnerable must you be to borrow and give money to someone who is responsible for multiple deaths
Astounding: His declaration that putting people in (totally unnecessary) danger is "the price of leadership". No, sir. That's absolutely NOT leadership. That's ego -- and yours is apparently still quite intact.
I listened to a podcast about their deaths, it played real audio from the retreat and it was bone chilling. He was telling them to let go, in an unventilated tent with a massive fire, let go, it won’t hurt you… and no suprise ppl died
Sometimes people defend the leader saying that the ones Who died were weak or already sick, so if they survive they are strong and ready. It's very Wicked, but many situations work like that in everyday Life without even realizing.
So some of these cults are fare from being "alien" they're an extreme version of ordinary Life and so far familiar to the mind.
I remember some americans coming to my country South Africa selling idiotic courses like advance leadership for more than $3000, people flocked to sign up. The engineer in me analysed the whole scenario and i never fell for such crap
@@pointa2b388 lol it's part of the american myth of becoming rich by commerce.
Selling more is the sign of success.
In many European countries there was a different kind of applied american mindset: the middle management in local enterprises aka a bunch of highly paid egos on the loose.
Typically they came with mentality of solving what these silly locals cannot solve.
They never spoke the local language and they had all sorts of extravagant behaviour that would never be condoned to someone else.
They never solved anything, actually did worse, then went away angry saying that we are "lost cases".
I'm glad I was delivered from the New Age hive mindset. I have a whole podcast about how to unravel from the New Age mentality, but it's so difficult to tell others about it without talking to a brick wall of "enlightenment".
I hear you on that. As a Zen teacher, I have to continually remind people that claims of enlightenment don't give anyone a pass on being ethical, and don't excuse taking advantage of others. Critical thinking is vital, as well as not putting anyone on a pedestal. As one famous Zen master - Shunryu Suzuki - put it, "There are, strictly speaking, no enlightened people, there is only enlightened activity."

@JaneSmith-nothingness She wasnt at first. but you try saying *no* to the 3rd reich and i guess *adept* would be a more proper term. this womans consciousness was able to find other consciousnesses hundreds and thousands of light years away.... and relay extremely detailed information.... they were building shit in 1935 and the nazi's found them out. her and a group and citizens from all walks of life in germany had sold everything they owned and started buying exotic alloys and all kinds of equipment... the secret police eventually caught on. seized everything. hitler himself said.... no... let them keep building. they did... eventually? hitler had her find the draco. and by 1941 they were equpping U boats with anti-g pulse engines. the first truly 5th gen human craft to hit orbit and settle on the far side of the moon was a fucking german submarine... it already had most of the needed design capabilities.. it didnt take much modification. it was practical. they did it. after byrd got his ass kicked in the arctic... the germans did the flyby of the white house just a couple years later.... if you look at the old photosand footage? those ufo's were flying luftwaffe formation. -_-... then they made a deal with the US. we got the tech... they got the industrial ability to produce... thus the fruits of "paperclip" were born in making the US a dominant power in space. and i ended up in the later generation of these programs.

It's also very similar to the prophets in Christianity, Judaism and Islam (and probably many more religions). Change "alien" for "angel" and there you have it. Those recent cults give us a good insight at how those huge religious movements started. At the beginning, it was a narcissist conman who convinced enough people.

Stunning how many unhappy broken people are out there looking for answers in all the wrong places. If we had strong governments who actually cared about the welfare of the people they represent the world and mental state of people wouldn't be so broken and damaged.
@Kathleen Reid Stunning how many people are still marching along to society's ever increasing beat, just like Fritz Laing's movie where people are so much treated like machines by the system they are in, that they start becoming machine like. Just look at a video of what goes on inside an Amazon ''fulfilment'' centre. Nothing is being fulfilled but the meglomania of a few guys at the top of this model, we all know who some of them are.
Fritz Laing's Metropolis was kinda predicting the times we are entering now...and people are starting to run in the other direction. Can't really blame them.
m.th-cam.com/video/Sx-vMdGqL3A/w-d-xo.html here's the link to the original uncut movie, some people might prefer the shorter version... its easily found.
It's not just the government. It's society itself that rejects people like these who don't fit the assigned norms. They are not allowed to be themselves. So of course these "rejects" will escape reality and find a place where they feel they belong. Even if they have to create their own communities at the expense of their unique individuality. Governments only get involved once these groups call themselves religions and want tax breaks. Or once a mass suicide occurs. By then it's too late. The way to prevent this is to accept others as they are. It's really not that hard yet here we are.
That's not the government's job you stupid call me how dumb are you you actually think of the government is in place to give you mental fulfillment you're completely stupid and a communist and you've obviously fallen for many of these things cuz you're looking to join a cult well you can join one and it seems like you already are the cult of communism and liberalism

But isn't there such a thing as healthy ways of getting needs met in a healthy way and an unhealthy way? By this logic, every single type of religion and spirituality and wellness program would be toxic, because there are these cults and crazy "spiritual and self-help" leaders out there.
Overall, I think that everything from 5:14-14:49 seemed to me possibly more good than bad, I don't know, but I didn't see anything really troubling in those parts of the documentary.
I think it's good for men and women to gather and get into their bodies, connect to deeper levels of their being, and talk about their emotions. I do think these types of things can make participants vulnerable to manipulation, so I would have to see and know more to make a judgement. And there are lots of problems with what was shown during this clip from 5:14-14:49, things like cultural appropriation, spiritual ego, etc.
But hopefully there is healing going on in those spaces shown, and in spaces like these. People in our society need a lot of healing, we're living in a very traumatized world. There has to be some good healing spaces in the world, even as we recognize what a widespread problem it is that there are so many people taking advantage and doing harm. So we need to be able to discern between them, but not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
