Nothing more depressing than spiritual teachers and their bloody stories. Shut up from time to time why don’ t you.
For a monkey talking is a way of sucking up to the boss, or ingratiating yourself with females, or maintaining your social status. When people talk that’s what they are really doing, no matter the content of their talk. It’s like an energetic game.
Few people use words to mean something in themselves or are aware of that possibility.

Sorry, but I don’t want to disturb Michael Winn, first of all.
Immediately these mafia gangs are supposedly serving (also immediately historically) Christianity.
…nothing more depressing than spiritual teachers and their bloody stories…
Sorry but I actually like more and more these Catholic Church tendencies.
Sorry for my broken English.

Child abuse royal commission: Children lived in fear of yoga ashram leader
By Nicole Chettle
Posted 14 Sep 2016, 11:00amWed 14 Sep 2016, 11:00am
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has examined the handling of complaints made against the former spiritual leader of the Satyananda Yoga Ashram, at Mangrove Mountain on the New South Wales Central Coast, Swami Akhandananda Saraswati, and his former partner Shishy.
The allegations were made over a period of 40 years and related to sexual abuse that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.
During public hearings in October 2014, six survivors each called for a $1 million compensation payment
They gave graphic accounts of abuse at the ashram, which housed between 12 and 22 children at any time, aged between four and 18.
The commissioner’s report was critical of the ashram’s management.
“During the public hearing, the Mangrove ashram invited requests for compensation from some, but not all, of the survivors of child sexual abuse … This apparent distinction between survivors remained unexplained at the close of the public hearing,” the report said.
“We consider that the Mangrove ashram … in direct contrast with the sentiments expressed in the ashram’s apology … adopted an approach that was at times insensitive, defensive and legalistic.”
The report found children were routinely separated from their families and developed a “cult-like dependence” on Shishy, “who clearly played a significant role in their lives in the absence of their parents”.
“It is clear that the culture of violence and humiliation that Akhandananda fostered at the Mangrove ashram gave the children who lived there a fear of reprimand that prevented them from disclosing their sexual abuse,” the report said.
During the hearing, Shishy said “blind devotion” to the guru was “heavily encouraged, and this involved being obedient without question”.
The report said: “Mangrove ashram ultimately culminated in a complete and unquestioning trust by both adults and children alike in the erratic and irrational actions … of Akhandananda as the guru.”
The royal commission heard some victims were threatened with murder if they reported the abuse, and that Shishy witnessed Akhandananda raping two girls.
The commissioners Justice Jennifer Coate and Professor Helen Milroy accepted Shishy was herself in a violent relationship with Akhandananda, “and this came to include sexual violence”.
“The fact that Akhandananda’s violent discipline of adults and children alike was not challenged by any other adult in the ashram who gave evidence only served to fortify the children’s fear of reprimand.
“We heard evidence of threats of significant harm, including death … We heard evidence of grown men being beaten with a stick in front of adult onlookers.
“We are satisfied that the physical abuse that the children experienced or witnessed contributed to a culture of fear of Akhandananda that prevented children from disclosing their sexual abuse.”
The Bihar School of Yoga, which is the global headquarters of the late Swami Satyananda Saraswati’s teachings, provided a statement to the commission in 2014 and said it “did not know the appalling extent of the abuse nor how widespread it was”.
The royal commission was also shown an email from the organisation to the ashram that expressed outrage at the current leader being linked to the investigation of “20 year old sex scandals” that would “tarnish his reputation”.
“After a lifetime in support of Australia, Swami Niranjan and Bihar School of Yoga, in disgust, withdraw their association and support completely,” it read.
The commissioners said: “When those responsible for management of the Bihar School of Yoga first heard about the royal commission’s investigation of the sexual abuse of children by Akhandananda, their primary concern was to minimise the risk of damaging the reputation of Satyananda yoga.”
The ashram is now called Mangrove Yoga, having previously traded as the Satyananda Yoga Academy.
The commission said the case study would help identify the potential problems with power imbalances involving a charismatic leader at an isolated institution; the isolation of children from their parents and the community, and meeting the needs of survivors of child sexual abuse.
January 22, 2018 at 5:59 pm #51626rideforeverParticipantShameful, but then mankind is shameful. These things happen at the White House in the USA as well and in Hollywood and UK Parliament.
Those institutions also have cult-like status and so on.
Humans just are like that, it seems, at least right now.
Within myself it is very difficult to harmonize my own life as well.
January 22, 2018 at 6:00 pm #51627rideforeverParticipantWhy is sex just a problem for humans ?
Possibly because after a good hard rogering you will feel half normal, it is so powerful it floods your circuits and you feel have sane.
Half sane people are unwelcome at this particularly destructive party.

…shameful, but then mankind is shameful…
This is why it’s so important to become a warrior.
…humans just are like that…
One should stop identifying with stupid ordinary sinners.
Sorry for my broken English.

January 22, 2018 at 9:16 pm #51629rideforeverParticipantI was a warrior, then I found the Way, now I am on the Way … so not sure what I am now.
Perhaps if I surrender a bit deeper I can become the Way.
All those matcho images … okay its useful to a point, but who will you fight ?
The TTC says that you don’t have to fight, just be patient and when the doorway opens just calmly walk through.In a situation like ours on Earth fighting is not really what is needed, what you need is a rapid virtuoso ascend starting from as high up as possible.
January 22, 2018 at 9:54 pm #51630c_howdyParticipant…all those macho images…
Like that video above?
…in a situation like ours on Earth fighting is not really what is needed…
If one meets any kind of opposition sometimes withdrawal is good and sometimes sometihing else.
Here I don’t try to quote Yijing, because it’s very difficult ancient relic to understand.

January 23, 2018 at 7:21 am #51635rideforeverParticipantI suppose the idea is that we are not actually resisted.
But we are hypnotised into this idea that life is out to get us and spend a lot of energy working out how to defend ourselves and survive.
But it is all an old theatre. And those who are not sensitive or intelligent enough to see beyond the theatre belong in the theatre, I suppose.
What would I be without anger ?
Perhaps I am afraid of letting go to an old companion?February 23, 2018 at 8:17 pm #51739JonathanParticipantWow people been lying about their sexual habits since they figured out sexual habits…and you really cannot look down on anyone for what they do sexually anymore than you can look down on an infant for soiling themselves. They are what they are are right now…Can you teach a child not to soil themselves….of course through practice, patience, and a then when they are ready…boom they are potty trained. Sex for power, sex for ego, sex for violence, sex for self abuse…all the same can we change the way people look at this….no not until they want to. So as someone who does not look at life through these lenses what is my job to help these people…who knows. All I can do is look at things as they are and be there as people come and go and try to add more value somehow.
February 24, 2018 at 7:34 am #51740rideforeverParticipantPorn and sexuality are two different things in my opinion.
Porn comes from the ego’s imagination and through it’s ignorance wants to protect its fears through a cannibalisation of the body’s energies. After stuffing its face with alcohol or sugar, it turns its anxieties inwards and consumes the body.
True sexuality is part of the animal and is sound, and in my experience is quite simple and wholesome like any other function.
As for judgement …. the health of a society might be defined by the proportion of people within it that can see straight.
Certainly if you start teaching children in school to do whatever they want …. then evil will be the result.
The human being sits at the cusp of animal consciousness and super consciousness and it’s not a happy place to be. He cannot go back, and he has trouble going forward. A wise form of education is needed.
Yin-Yang is a creative force and creation is the only this that will outrun entropy, hence the male-female partnership should be emphasised as normal.
Today through the internet many dark things are happening which are not sexual even though they involve getting naked and doing things. But this is the disturbed ego.
It would be nice to say that humans are repressed and they should just let it all hang out, but this doesn’t work.
And you can simply see that a society that has tied a knot in it grows, anything else like in the fall of Rome is destructive and leads to disaster. Like it or not.
Humans are close to the finish line, but if they start indulging in themselves pretty soon the whole house falls down.
The world has seen it all before.
You earn the right to break the rules.
Such wisdom is worth knowing for your own sake.
