He brings out a point that I would like to elaborate on just a touch. Why work with groups? Why in a private home?<BR/><BR/> As you discover the methods in which people are drawn into the fake gurus’ scams you start to see that it is a subtle process. You may also start to realize some important things about yourself.<BR/><BR/>Most fake gurus have a talent, gift or trick. Most have a persuasive personality. Most will portray a handicapped in some way. The handicap can be health or helplessness, or a combination of things. They nearly all require someone to care for there basic needs. This is what draws many of the women in. It is a natural desire of woman to nurture. The cute young female assistant will draw in the males because he will want to know and learn what powers this guru has over woman. This is mostly instinctual behavior by both the males and females but is a powerful tool when employed by a fake guru as a control method.<BR/><BR/>Tilak and many of the other scamsters rely heavily on word of mouth and what I wrote in the early comment about speaking in abstract context is one of the most powerful tools or tricks that are employed by these disgraceful people.<BR/><BR/>Another tool is using people who appear honest and grounded in family morals, or have the appearance of having public trust. They will use the homes of these people so as to appear to be invited by them. This uses the good name of the individual to give the guru some credibility.<BR/><BR/>Scam artist such as Tilak will always have a core group of people that he can pull from when things get tough. This core group will constantly change as people wise up to him or new people come in that better serve his purpose. You can distinguish how the pecking order is formed by who he has together in each group. This is no coincident and it is vital to have the right people together that will support his illusion. The placement of people is critical to build the illusion of trust. <BR/><BR/>Bringing the same people together for rituals or sessions or what ever the activity is being called helps to bond them to each other, and if a relationship blossoms between his students it will be attributed to him and consequently deepening the loyalty to the guru. This is why many relationships crumble between married couples while working with a fake guru. It is important to the process for the guru to be a match maker.<BR/><BR/>It is not by chance that these gathering are sleep-overs. It is a proven psychological fact that when people of any gender are together in an environment that is normally seen as a family setting; eating together, sharing a house and so forth, the bond between them will be psychologically realized as family. Often students will be referred to by the guru as family. The fake gurus will position themselves in a posture of authority or father figure. This can be by sitting at the head of a table during the meals or it can be more subtle, such as sitting in a larger chair or have a person sitting next to them in a servant like position, or directly across from them where they can be observed at all times. The fake guru will almost always tell people where to sit so as to have the person they are most interested in preying on to be in a controlled place.<BR/> <BR/>When the scamsters need instant funds or a show of solidarity they will gather the people together that they know reflect the above mentioned qualities and then add a few extra of his old crowd to show generosity. This select few will normally be given something extra or new. It could be a longer time with the guru or to experience his newest powers or tricks. This normally occurs after a large internal shakeup or the loss of significant numbers of followers due to bad publicity. It seems that this may be the case with Tilak.<BR/><BR/>Is Tilak a scamster to you because you didn’t get what he calls a “wonderful opening”, or a new lover, job, or riches? How much did it cost you before you decided you were not getting anything but a blue blow job? What ever the answer may be to these questions they are not as important as the question of how did you come to a place in your life where an individual could gain such power over you? <BR/><BR/>StyvenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-14419263990029057632007-04-22T11:04:00.000-06:002007-04-22T11:04:00.000-06:00Tilak is having a weekend fiasco and it seems that...Tilak is having a weekend fiasco and it seems that he has gathered what is left of his old crew for a big bash. In the past this meant that he was going to introduction a new scam. I will admit I am jealousy. The showing up of his new personal assistant means that it is important for him. <BR/><BR/>It only goes to show that there are people that are easily controlled by these so called gurus.<BR/><BR/>The word about this man is getting out as told by the comments on your blog. I checked and saw that anyone who types in Tilak+las vegas will get your site. Then next up is this powerful intention site that raves about Tilak.

I watched a very sweet couple who where together for their first intensives. Now they are never together and the wife is part of Tilaks staff. I noticed that none of the people associating with Tilak ever report a notable change for the good. Most are experiencing just the opposite. This even includes his staff of women who get worse each year.<BR/> <BR/>I have people I call friends that are in contact with Tilak and they are saying he is cracking up after that Ronda Byrne Secret fiasco. He wants people to pay $10,000 for his sessions. Sadly some of them are paying. Most are trying to politely put space between themselves and Tilak. <BR/><BR/>I would say that if this blog had exposed Tilak back when I started blowing money on his scam I would have made better decisions. For that I will say thank you… Jody… for possibly helping someone else who may come to this site and make better decisions about Tilak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-35374238343211327192007-04-17T17:51:00.000-06:002007-04-17T17:51:00.000-06:00"I have a freind who wants to introduce me to the ..."I have a freind who wants to introduce me to the Tilak that is in Las Vegas"<BR/><BR/>I am wondering what your friend has told you about Tilak to make you consider going to see him?<BR/><BR/>I have goggled Tilak and not found any positive responses to him at all.

Thank you for helping to keep the desire to learn on a more honest track. I also think it is good advice to say that all Gurus are not bad. <BR/><BR/>I fell prey to Tilak because I was looking for something and was literally blinded by the light. No one twisted my arm, they twisted my perception. <BR/><BR/>I have a PhD in psychology so I knew that fake gurus like Tilak would claim to know something you cannot know by yourself or that you cannot research it through ordinary channels. Tilak also promised to show me a hidden reality and make me part of his family. I just lost husband who was my only family so that was my weak point. Every doubt that I expressed would be called a reflection of my own unworthiness, or the influence of my ego. He would claim to be free of these worldly limitations and then instantly go into a rage if any of these woman servants of his dare suggest anything different than what he was demanding at the time.<BR/><BR/>The point I want to make is that even though these signs are out there it is difficult to see them if your attention or your emotional state is weakened in any way, such as was mine. I so much wanted to experience something new, and to feel part of something that I didn’t see the scam until I was out a large chunck of money. <BR/><BR/>Remember if it looks to good to be true, take the time to look at it again. Do not surrender your common sense to anyone,and do not loose your desire to grow. and yes I can now say "Cool I got brainwashed also".<BR/><BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-33062820751278209042007-04-16T20:56:00.000-06:002007-04-16T20:56:00.000-06:00Styven, “cool, i have been brainwashed”. i discove...Styven, “cool, i have been brainwashed”. i discovered this a while back but it feels good to say it anyway. i was fortunate to have friends that helped me see what was happening before i was devoured by tilaks perverted scam.<BR/>I can see now that tilak saying that i connected with this man or that man every time i did an intensive was his delusional need to match make.

I was going to add...Enquirer that was a great post. I was going to add my ten cents (inflation) worth of Tilak bashing until I read your post. Now I will make it a full dollar.<BR/>Tilak uses the basic mind control games that are seen throughout the cult practices. I do not know how he can create the blue light or any other experience that people have reported but I am able to say that he uses emotional linguistic control better than most people I have seen. He speaks in complete abstracts so as to limit any critical thinking by his “students” and then demands that someone ask a question, and that question will be answered again abstractly. Those in the group being spoken to whom have heard these abstract answers before will nod there head or say “oh yea” because they recognize the answer and want to be noticed by Tilak not because they understand it. This causes the new recruit to think that others are getting something that they are not.<BR/>After getting a sufficient number of people saying yes or nodding there heads up and down like puppets he quickly departs as if he has pressing work and leaving the group to a subordinate that will conduct some type of movements, sounds or both, that the purpose of which are never explained. This causes a further collapse of the critical thinking process. Usually this is done before a session.<BR/>Every thing is done in a pyramid fashion cost of sessions, amount of time with him, recognition of contribution and so forth. <BR/>If there are two people together they will soon be separated unless one is seen as a care giver such as an older couple or one partner with health issues. The excuse is always that one will hold the other back. If children are involved with a married couple he will go out of his way to acknowledge the children until he can separate the parents. Then he will become detached about any conversation about them further deepening the lack of critical thinking by covertly installing guilt with quick questions about the family situation, or suggesting infidelity with another student of his. As mentioned in an early post this is unfavorable for any relationship and if the relationship fails he is there to suck you in further.<BR/>Now if anything I have mentioned above sounds like your experience with Tilak then you can say “cool I have been brainwashed”. I have said it myself.<BR/>There is a ton of information available on line about this stuff so before you chose your next Guru do yourself a favor and be more intellectually prepared. <BR/><BR/>Styven<BR/><BR/>PS Nice blog Jody.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-31269181959994471862007-04-11T17:35:00.000-06:002007-04-11T17:35:00.000-06:00I hear a lot of whining about how much money has b...I hear a lot of whining about how much money has been spent, and how you all have been tricked.<BR/>That’s all well and good but nothing is ever said about the validity of Tilaks work.

I belonged to the LA group which was quite large not to long ago. After the trick Tilak got caught trying to pull using his fake teleporting abilities many of us saw him for the trickster he was. I know we are all adults but when someone tricks someone into spending money that could have been used for their children the family suffers from guilt, and trust issues that are destructive. Not to mention the worries they have about the contact Tilak had with their children. That lady in San Diego had every right to be angry and to want justice. There is more here than money, and Tilak is not the only guru out there causing this kind of destruction. <BR/><BR/>I thank Jody and the others for shedding light on these people. this is not hateful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11379073.post-71990447751839364612007-04-10T13:58:00.000-06:002007-04-10T13:58:00.000-06:00“Why are people so hateful” D U H!!If you decei...“Why are people so hateful” D U H!!<BR/>If you deceive me and that deception cost anywhere from 2000 to 10,000 bucks I may feel a bit angry, maybe even hateful.
