The Imprinting

All the videos and quotes and photos coming to light now are really a great way to document what really happened back in the day, to show newcomers and doubters how the foundation of what they are into was poured and formed and hardened, on the backs and brows of premies who worked day and night for him for nothing but the thrill of believing with all our hearts that Prem Rawat was the Lord in Person, not because we figured it out, not because we all studied scriptures and came to that conclusion, not because a chorus of angels were around his head in Houston or in England, but because that is how he choreographed it, packaged himself and presented himself to the western world with the help of his family and inner circle.  It is documented in so many places and in multimedia.  Let there be no misunderstanding on this.


And this imprint is on us forever, whether we are with him or not, now.  He had us believing with our inner beings that he was God Incarnate.  That makes a deep imprint, especially after 20 years.  Personally, I have to allow that imprint to fade and be replaced with beautiful ideas and thoughts and positive energy.  The more I am angry or resentful at him, the deeper the imprint remains and bothers me.  The more objective I can be about it and forgive myself for my foolishness and naivete, the less it bothers me now.


Experience is when we screw up.  Wisdom is when we learn from our screw-ups.  Let us be wise and at peace.


Love to everyone.

I really like this part of your post:

And this imprint is on us forever, whether we are with him or not, now.  He had us believing with our inner beings that he was God Incarnate.  That makes a deep imprint, especially after 20 years.  Personally, I have to allow that imprint to fade and be replaced with beautiful ideas and thoughts and positive energy.  The more I am angry or resentful at him, the deeper the imprint remains and bothers me.  The more objective I can be about it and forgive myself for my foolishness and naivete, the less it bothers me now.

I can relate to that.

When I said 'let us be wise and at peace', that did not mean to stop speaking up, for anyone who may have made that assumption.

You know, the really ironic part of it is that we all had a part in coreographing the whole fiasco and yet even though we all took part in the manufacturing of the facade and the fantasy we all still believed the sonofabitch and got taken.

Hi Sandy,

Everything you said is so true.  However, I do have one comment:

"The more I am angry or resentful at him, the deeper the imprint remains and bothers me.  The more objective I can be about it and forgive myself for my foolishness and naivete, the less it bothers me now."

Processing oneself out of a cult will produce anger.  That's not unhealthy.  In fact, it's an important part of the process because it also uncovers the grief of the losses.  Of course, it's all based on an individual's personal journey out.

I would never discourage anyone who is a newly exiting premie from expressing anger towards Maharaji (in an appropriate way) because he is the perpetrator of his mind-control.  Denial to anger to grief to resolution.   Ultimately, that's when self-forgiveness can truly take place.  That's been my journey, anyway.

I read somewhere recently that sometimes people are too quick to "forgive and forget."  They forgive but still haven't done the forgetting part.  That's when folks can run into trouble.

Great post though, thanks!

Cynthia
