(continued from chapter 3)
III. COMMUNITY and MEMBERS
12. Why do human beings adhere to such a thing?
Authors G.B. and M.D. believes that human beings join a sect either because they feel alone or because they want to compensate
for their frustrations.
For others, joining a cult is the result of a persuasive effort of indoctrination techniques.
Joining a particular sect implies joining a community and total submission to its rules, ideology and purpose.
For some who start practicing YOGA, the purspose is often related to self-improvement and improving health.
The authors conclude that joining a sect is done against the background of a heightened suggestibility, in a period of life
characterized by frustrations, tensions, crises or failures.
Ironically, the spiritual leader himself stated that those who come to MISA classes are those with problems;
those who think they are fine don't feel the need to change!
The MISA organization was founded and rose with the contribution of G. Bivolaru's first students from the 80s of the communist regime.
But over the years, many of them either left him (some even pushed by the "Master"), or were marginalized by him.
The management of MISA was renewed with promising young cadres from among students and followers
who came into contact with the organization's activities in the first years after the fall of the communist dictatorship ("the second wave").
It was also then that most of today's students enrolled in MISA courses, at a time when there was great interest for spirituality,
which had been forbidden before.
They then brought students over time, but fewer and fewer, with less and less interest (see chapter 1 of this series, subsection DURATION).
In the conditions of numerous scandals - some criminal - and not being able to present a reasonable duration of the yoga course
(which has already exceeded 30 years), MISA had to "refine" its way of attracting new followers.
The yoga classes are conducted through associations and foundations that hide or deny their connections with MISA,
but new courses were also established (Ayurveda and especially Tantra), then correspondence courses and online courses,
whose students are gradually guided to the "basic course".
TANTRA courses are an effective method of persuasion and recruitment, in conditions of exacerbating sexuality
from contemporary society, especially in the Western one.
To all those who come into contact with MISA's actions, the connection with the organization and its leader is hidden from them at first,
connection which they discover a little later, especially with the first holiday camps they are invited to participate in
In these camps, those who come from the more isolated courses in the province come into contact with the activities that take place
in the hidden circles of the Movement ("the groups").
MISA presents one face to society, but it also has another face - occult - kept secret especially through "oaths".
13. Composition
The authors believe that a sect includes dissatisfied people from the middle social classes or peripheral groups,
who feel unintegrated in society or in the age in which they live, usually without personality, easily dominated, mediocre,
with a low IQ and unable for elementary philosophical exercises.
There are no known sect members with brilliant contributions to humanity.
In the YOGA school in Romania, 80% of its members have higher education, attracted by the potential and fascination of the YOGA system.
In reality, the high percentage of students with higher education is due to the fact that the MISA courses are developed
exclusively in the urban environment, where young people usually attend college, while the usual religious sects spread
especially in the countryside or on the periphery of cities, where the categories mentioned above are found.
MISA would not have any success with the "innovative synthesis" of some foreign doctrines in the eminently traditionalist,
conservative rural environment.
So it is not a merit of MISA, but a tactic, an intentionally chosen target audience, from which it is clear that it is a case of recruitment.
But even students with higher education from MISA do not demonstrate skills "for the most basic philosophical exercises",
as long as they do not perceive elementary contradictions such as "millennial spiritual revelations in a planetary premiere".
What IQ have those who, although they spend all day on their mobile phones and on the Internet, do not realize that
the ”great revelations” from MISA are copied (without citing the source) either from works belonging to others
or from fake-news and pamphlet sites, being easily dominated by the sect leader, to whom they always look for justifications and excuses
for all their aberrant statements and actions.
What kind of higher education are demonstrated by those who, although they present themselves as PhDs in exact sciences,
not only accept, but also promotes aberrant anti-scientific theories (like ”free energy”)?
As for the "valuable people" from MISA, the scandal press is full of them...
14. Individual trajectory
The authors believe that members of a sect have a downward "trajectory" 3-7 months after joining the respective sect.
Their mental state, intellectual performances, relationships with the family, begin to degrade, a process that continues over time,
without them realizing that a certain debilitation is occurring.
Problems arise in terms of social integration that affect their material situation.
YOGA practitioners who accumulate ever greater beneficial energies have a continuously upward individual trajectory,
energies make them confident, humorous, charming, spontaneous, with a strong impact in the social sphere.
Except in cases of aggressive media campaigns that produce a hostile current of opinion due to abject slander,
the relations of YOGA practitioners with society are harmonious.
Immediately after starting yoga classes at MISA, some of the students dropped out of college or jobs, went to retreats or ashrams
that had begun to be built then, they moved away from the family, and involvement in multiple love affairs outside of marriage
led to jealousy and divorces.
This tendency was imprinted even by Bivolaru's advanced disciples from the years before the establishment of MISA who,
once they became founding members of the organization, they gave up their jobs or careers.
Many were engineers or doctors who then never worked a day and developed their businesses based on yoga course:
publishing houses, recording studios, astrology or naturopathic medicine offices, entered MLM sales systems where they attracted yoga students,
brokerage firms for dancer contracts, erotic massage salons, etc.
Attracted by the mirage of the ashrams, many students abandoned their families, a fact that generated numerous scandals
with the families and even with the authorities, which also reached the press.
Some articles about life in the MISA ashrams appeared, and the organization sought to combat these articles with favorable testimonies
and even through a report made together with a journalist, a report that was dismantled by the former student and lawyer of MISA M.R.,
who knows the real situation.
But in a conference, Bivolaru unwittingly revealed that at MISA there are many people with a precarious material situation,
who need to participate free of charge in the organization's activities, even the online ones!
Bivolaru - ”Response to the dissatisfied”, August 8, 2020 (during the pandemic)
quote:
Question:
"And what would be the solution you propose for those who cannot afford to participate in the camp?
Participation is very expensive this year anyway, but not nearly as much as in previous years.
Has this purportedly spiritual school come to sort its students by income?
Then what is the difference between you and any others?
We realize more and more how important money is to you.
We are disappointed because we were probably deceived. Thanks for helping us wake up!”
Answer:
"The person who wrote this message pretends not to know that, every year, those who want to get free of charge
send a request in this sense, so that 7 male and 7 female students receive total free: fee, accommodation and meals.
However, it is found - and this aspect is paradoxical - that, due to immense pride, there are surprisingly few people who request free of charge,
at these camps which are currently held online, .
That is because they don't want to appear that they are poor.
Also every year, both in spring or summer yoga camp, there is the possibility to participate as a volunteer,
thus obtaining partial gratuity for the activities of these camps.
Currently, in this online camp, there are a huge number of people who have obtained gratuities.
More precisely, it is about 832 free participants, both from Romania and from different countries in the world."
So, from the mouth of the Guru, we find out that there are at least 800 free participants (who therefore "admit that they are poor"),
in addition to those who do not recognize that they are poor, which must also be many, as the guru expected
that there would be a large number of applicants for gratuity, that's why he declares himself surprised by how few request the exemption!
It is clear that those who avoid asking for gratuity are poor, because otherwise they would not have to ask for gratuity anymore,
and Bivolaru's attempt to hide this avoidance under the mask of "immense pride" is nonsense, a logical contradiction.
Later, the guru's mouth spoke again without him when, in a conference in which he criticized a student's initiative to collect funds and aid
for the people of Ukraine, he said:
"The respective action itself has neither head nor tail, if we consider that, within this esoteric spiritual school,
there are still needy, poor people who would need such help."
"The charm of YOGA practitioners, who accumulate in their aura ever greater beneficial energies", can be seen in press articles over the years.
The "slanderous press" excuse doesn't work, because this kind of press wouldn't be successful against people who are really charming
and likeable to the public.
As for the humor at MISA, many years ago, when the number of students was larger, the spiritual leader would often joke with the followers;
now, when numbers dropped dramatically, he is always violent in his speech to the "demons" who left him,
but he pours out his nerves throwing insults at the remaining ones as well.
15. The new members
The authors note the constant and persistent activity of sectarian propaganda and permanent recruitment of new members.
Sectarian propaganda is irrational, fanatical, insincere.
The vast majority of sects recommend their members to have as many children as possible, in order to have as many members as possible
whose membership is indisputable and whose devotion is guaranteed.
In the case of the YOGA system, the propaganda aspect is minor, insignificant, and the books of the great contemporary yogis
who brought YOGA to the West does not reflect a tendency to recruitment, but generosity for humanity.
The authors conclude that attracting new members is one of the main concerns of sects because, as the number of adherents increases,
so does their impact and power in the social sphere
In the case of the YOGA system, the propaganda aspect is secondary, the attempt to attract human beings to start practicing YOGA is null,
people being spontaneously attracted by the power of example.
MISA conducts a sustained activity of attracting new members.
Every year, in the cities, new series (new years) of courses begin exactly at the beginning of school and university courses,
extending the registration period until the end of the calendar year.
There are correspondence courses and online courses (link).
There are several sites on which MISA carries out sectarian propaganda, which is:
- fanatical
MISA presents itself as the most important spiritual school in the world, the salvation of humanity, the only one that holds the truth,
having the mission of creating a unique religion (Godness) and its leader is presented as a messenger of God,
in permanent connection with Him, who reached the supreme spiritual realization by his own powers, without need of masters.
MISA carries out religious activities and rituals, even creating a Charismatic Movement.
Gregorian Bivolaru (Grieg) - Biography
”While he was a child he often had recurring dreams about himself being a Tibetan Yogi of high spiritual attainment.
All these experiments culminated at the age of 19, when he had a decisive breakthrough and attained the state of spiritual awakening.”
article: "The Biblical Code foresees the spiritual actions initiated at the planetary level by MISA"
quote:
"We dare to affirm with all conviction that this passage that has been identified through the secret code of the Bible
refers to the moment when, within the MISA yoga school and under the guidance of her spiritual mentor, yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru,
the collective prayers addressed to God the Father were followed by certain miraculous events that reverberated on a planetary scale!
The Bible designates here an exceptional being - a "sent of God on Earth" - who will actually accomplish
the process of transforming the destiny of humanity and the planet Earth.
Given the correlation - which for us is obvious and indisputable - of the year 2010 as a starting point of this global destiny transformation,
also taking into account the fact that the collective prayers made within the MISA yoga school began to be realized
(under the brilliant and obviously divinely integrated inspiration of yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru) in 2010,
for any human being endowed with intelligence, common sense and intuition, it is as clear as possible that
what was written over 3000 years ago in the secret code of the Bible is being fulfilled now and here, right before our eyes,
and a so-called "spearhead" of this process that was inspired and that is impelled and supported by God is,
we now dare to say openly and without false modesty, the MISA yoga school, under the brilliant guidance
of yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru.”
- exaggerated, beyond any limit of common sense and decency:
All activities and actions of MISA - including the sexual aspects - are allegedly "divine."
Alleged miracles take place within his activities.
The motto of the Theophanic Charismatic Movement at MISA is
"With God, for God, in God, through God".
- insincere, because the courses hide behind all kinds of foundations, hiding or denying the direct links with MISA and G. Bivolaru (video).
The insincerity in the act of attracting new members to MISA is also found in the fact that they are not clearly told that
the duration of the course is unlimited and that if they leave these courses, they will definitely lose the divine chance of salvation.
If at a school of trades and skills, you ask the natural question "how long will I be able to practice this activity masterfully"
and you get the answer "as long as you want to keep learning", that means "infinitely"!
But this is the response received at MISA:
quote:
"Yoga is neither fitness nor personal development, and it definitely cannot be learned in a few hours or 2-3 weeks."
But in how long? MISA avoids saying directly, at least in the courses in Romania.
But in the courses abroad, "edifying" details are given:
”The course is a life-long journey and continues as long as you wish to keep learning.
You can decide how many months or years you want to follow, yet the course is based on continuous participation.”
Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs):
”- How long is the course?
We see personal evolution as a continuous process, so our courses continue for as long as you wish to keep learning!
New lessons every week include tools and practices that allow your ever-expanding knowledge to be integrated into your daily life.
- Do I need to commit to a year or even the rest of my life?!
No, you can come for as long as you feel the course continues to fuel your curiosity, growth and self-discovery.
There is a monthly membership for the courses you wish to continue, that can be cancelled at any time – no strings attached!”
"You can decide how long you want to take the course, but damn if you drop out before the end of your life," as seen in this article:
quote:
”Human beings who have been on this spiritual path, seized with impatience and doubt, have turned away from the spiritual Guide
and implicitly they left the spiritual path, willingly renouncing the divine chance of transformation.
The demonic doubts they faced at some point proved fatal for some of them, causing them to wander and deviate
from the authentic spiritual path on which they existed.
Thus, genuine aspirants who were at the beginning, became poor and obvious yogic "waste".”
"Sects recommend their members to have as many children as possible".
Since MISA does not consider itself a sect, it is therefore understood that MISA does recommend to have as few as possible children?
Although MISA will deny it, having children is incompatible with its practices: love with sexual continence (no ejaculation)
within occasional couples ("flying from flower to flower"), polyamory or group love, life in the organization's "settlements", etc.
How would the existence of such children unfold?
In fact, the very concept of "sexual continence" - which MISA has registered as trademarked - shows that ejaculation is a huge waste
for the vitality and spiritual evolution of the human being, so it discourages followers from having children anyway.
But if in this respect, MISA differs from sects that advise followers to procreate as much as possible, compensates by trying to recruit
as many members as possible and keep them as long as possible - for the rest of their lives - hidding this under the idea
of "permanent spiritual evolution", in courses whose duration is unlimited.
Criteria 12-15: checked (with one exception: procreation without limits)!
