The Oracle(s) comes out of the closet!

There was some discussion on this board recently about the Sufimaster oracle. It seems that the person behind the "Oracle" websites has come out officially: http://www.garychicoine.com/ I have personally found his websites interesting, and in the case of "Take note of Something Different" to be helpful in awakening. I happened to read something about him here: http://www.anthonyblake.co.uk/Meetings.html

To quote from the site above:

"If there is a villain in my story, it is certainly Chicoine. Like any cult leader, he manipulated people and got them to part withtheir cash and hand over control over their sex organs. He ended up a deranged megalomaniac at odds with his children (and some of his wives) and now lives in Sweden with a small group of adherents,regarding himself as above the mechanical masses of humanity. But he is essential to the story. One thing he brought home to me was that spirituality is not identical with morality; but also that individuals who search after greater meaning are especially vulnerable to abuse because they feel themselves to be `unworthy'. `Seekers' are greatly at risk. They look towards unseen worlds without having the confidence of gaining access to them, so that they come to look towards personalities who claim such access to guide them and interpret reality for them. This is of course exactly the same structure which is found in religions, the only difference being one of scale. All the remarkable men I have met who are truly remarkable embody a willingness to speak `on the level' with others and not as authorities."

This is part of a longer account of their relationship but reflects the summation of his judgement.
