Blog #197--Seeking Profit Can Distort the Truth

Back in 1986, my wife and I attended an introduction to a yoga meditation class developed by an eastern mystic. We wanted to find out whether the course might prove beneficial. But we left that meeting turned off by the entire thing.

The facilitators kept telling us there were great secrets available to us, but they couldn’t tell us what those were. We had to attend a series of seminars where all would be revealed. Of course, only part of their truth would be included in the first session, which was surprisingly expensive. The second class was more than twice as expensive as the first, and subsequent costs increased almost exponentially from there. We disliked the obvious profit motive, but others took at least one of the classes.

I can’t say whether the classes were legitimate; maybe they were. But there are and have been a number of other similar types of programs, with topics including various types of healing, personal development, psychic development and even religion. Over the years, I have found a number of these programs to be money scams pretending to be spiritual. If you take enough of the classes, you end up being an instructor for others to copy your life path. The ones who benefitted most were those who developed the programs.

I have no doubt those who were inspired to create these programs did so secondarily to personal enlightenment. But almost immediately after their breakthrough, their egos began to see profit potential and looked for ways to make a living sharing what they were learning with the masses. The problem is, the ego-driven motive begins to close the gateway to higher awareness opened at the moment of breakthrough. This limits the value of the information.

For instance, I mentioned briefly a man who pretended to channel higher discarnate entities in my book “It’s a Secret, So Pass It On: a Toolbox For Life.” To expand on that topic, the man stayed at our house for a couple days while he was in town for a series of private healing sessions plus a group channeling. I signed up for a $60.00 healing, but it was obvious from the start he was having trouble connecting with his healing energy.

By the end of the hour, he was telling me he couldn’t help me because I was too blocked to receive his assistance. That made no sense since my wife and I were at a peak of awareness after a number of unique experiences and were as relaxed and confident as we could be. He offered to give me back the money, but I told him to keep it since he had worked for an hour regardless. He then gave me three cassette tapes of his previous channelings, including one supposedly from Buddha. I guess he felt guilty for taking my money. It was those tapes where I discovered statements he made that proved he was merely pretending to channel, making it up as he went along.

I have no doubt he had healing ability and could be an effective channel. But to make a living at it, he needed to do things on command that are not always available to us whenever we want them. If he could have waited to offer his services when he was at peak efficiency, he could have helped people feel well enough to justify the expense. But we may not be able to that once we need to generate income. Under that circumstance, our egos tend to take over leadership, and that may block the flow of universal energy needed to do the work.

I know how this works because it happened to me as well. I mentioned briefly in the book the fact I had a secondary explosion that taught me the basics of creating a machine that could travel faster than light while producing more energy than it expended, a kind of perpetual motion machine. That same principle could be utilized for many other purposes, including creating a device that could speed up healing of bone fractures and many other health problems. I was tremendously excited about its potential and was convinced the information I received was sound.

But as we all tend to do in the face of exciting information, my ego immediately began to imagine I could patent designs for a flying disc and other technologies. I imagined getting credit for the breakthrough while eliminating need for fossil fuels and other pollutants and making life easier for all of mankind. In other words, visions of sugar plums danced in my head. I went so far as to call a patent attorney to see what was involved.

Of course, I had not yet created any machine that would work as assumed. By the time I began to work on it, I discovered the details of my vision had begun to fade. Looking back, I’m convinced my own ego had begun to block the gateway to information needed to create the device. That doesn’t mean I blame the ego (me blaming me?); rather, it is simply how our minds work. A little light may shine through once in awhile, but our more mundane aspects are never in the background for long. If we don’t take full advantage of the light when the door is open to it, we will likely miss out on its full potential.

By the time I was ready to write my book 36 years later, I had lost too much memory to describe it properly. So I had to leave it out of the book. I realize now it was for the best since the general public isn’t ready for the technology, and the powers that be are still hoarding knowledge while silencing those who might expose it to the world.

Many others before me had found the same information and went farther than me to share it with the world. Some even created working models. But given how much they and their families suffered from having this knowledge, perhaps it is best my family hasn’t faced the same hatefulness and destructiveness. Eventually someone will get the word out in a way it cannot be eliminated, and growth will occur. For everyone’s sake, I hope that time is soon.

I don’t know whether I would have created my “love” engine (one literally copies the exact formula for what love really is) had my ego not sought fame and fortune. But I do know that it is extremely difficult to be a true aid for others on a regular schedule because the energy and insight needed is available to us on an irregular basis. It can be a difficult balancing act to serve client needs while subsisting economically. Perhaps those who offer their services as a supplement to a full time job are most likely to share pure loving energy for the higher purpose of all concerned.

At least, I can state with confidence a runaway ego seeking profit is most likely to distort the original message sufficiently enough over time to prevent positive results. Unselfish giving to those in need, with or without payment in return, is most likely to generate true gifts for those we serve.
