Character Assassination

Around the year 2008 my former teacher, Nome, circulated a rumor about me in order to marginalize me within the community of SAT (The Society of Abidance in ‘Truth’)…a community I had sincerely participated in with the whole of my heart for almost 2 decades.

The rumor was for the deliberate purpose of quashing-from-spreading what I intuitively knew regarding the deceptions of how Nome and Russ would supposedly ‘split-up’ their teachings.

The circulated rumor was that I ‘hated Indian culture‘…a rumor my father and friends believed for many years. Why? Because Nome said so! People believed it until they, themselves, began waking up.

Nothing could be further from the truth or even more painful for me to submit to. It was a lie I endured while remaining at SAT for a couple years afterwards. Why did I remain? I felt the inner support of Nome who, no doubt, felt ‘bad’ that I had ‘fallen through the cracks’ (the exact words of Russell Smith in a taped, private session). Additionally, this is a loyal bhakta heart…to a fault.

I love Human Beings and I love Humanity. Because of this I earned a MA in Cultural Anthropology in 1978.

One of my thesis advisor’s was an east-Indian Jungian Analyst and Cultural Anthropologist…Dr. Manisha Roy.

This lie that Nome circulated about me was for the express purpose of preventing the Indian population…and the rest of the sangha…from speaking with me and, ultimately, finding out about the deceptions of Nome, Russell Smith and Candace O’Denver.

It was at that point that I, effectively, became the default ‘holder’…the ‘fall-guy’ and scapegoat…for the not only the lies and deceptions of Nome and Russell Smith and Candace O’Denver, aka Ziji Rinpoche…but for the entire non-dual ‘community’ as exemplified by SAND (Science and Non-duality), Rick Archer’s BatGap and the ASI (Association of Spiritual ‘Integrity’ — a smokescreen organization for so-called accountability). ⚛️https://integrityintruth.com/systemic-collusion-in-the-non-dual-field/
