I was unable to finish that book, it was so loaded with treacly, shopworn platitudes and cliche "advice," and I still don't understand what anybody sees in it. Anybody I mean who has read even a few of the myriad self-helpy books on creativity, following your bliss, blah blah. As far as I can tell, he made a lot of friends as a producer and persuaded them to gush in blurbs for his book. This was I tricked. As for mainstream people who are also gushing ... I don't know. It's like they read a different book.
Hi Linda, I so love every word you wrote about this guy. I’m 79 years old and I
guess starting in 1965 with Gurdjieff
I’ve done all the things you mentioned doing as well as 36 years practicing
Kundalini yoga with the 3ho Sikhs. In
2020 it was revealed that Yogi Bhajan,
the guy who brought Kundalini to this
country was a rapist, a thief and a liar
just for starters. I never liked or followed
him but loved the yoga. Since reading
hundreds of pages that were written by former students I along with my husband and my youngest daughter
who was a certified Kundalini teacher
threw all books, cd’s and other paraphernalia into the trash. By now
thousands of other have spoken out
about their horrific experiences. When
it comes to anyone pushing self help
and how to’s have lost me. I am so
done. Interestingly enough, Rick Ruben just mad a film that’s an expose of
Yogi Bhajan that people who left the
organization are trying with Ruben to
market. I resonate with ever word you
shared today. Thank you thank
you so much.
