			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It appears that the apparently enlightened &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217;, the former leader of The Gnostic Movement, and current leader of The Belzebuub Foundation and Belzebuub Teachings, has used the guise of an enlightened guru for his own sexual and psychological satisfaction.</p>
<p>Finally, after years of exposure and scrutiny following my announcement that &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217; and his wife Edith Pritchard asked me to be his sex partner, &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217; has been forced to admit that he is now in a relationship with a young woman,  twenty years his junior, who is a member of his organisation.</p>
<p>Here is the statement from his website:</p>
<p>“In 2006 Mark and Edith separated, and Mark began years of celibacy as is required in Gnostic doctrine (he was living alone when the smear campaign started). After years of separation, Mark began a permanent relationship with Angela. From 2006 Mark and Angela knew they would be together, and waited for Mark’s period of celibacy to end&#8230;”</p>
<p>I am DISGUSTED and appalled by this, given that in October 2007, Edith asked me, a married woman at the time, to be Mark’s sex partner to which Mark told me that there was “a small door of opportunity for this to happen” and both he and Edith said they had spiritual experiences showing that I was the &#8216;lucky&#8217; woman chosen to be his partner. (Of course I didn&#8217;t accept the &#8216;honour&#8217;, as Edith called it)</p>
<p>I am DISGUSTED to now learn that &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217; claims he KNEW he would be with another young woman from 2006.</p>
<p>So did he want a greater selection of young women to choose from? Take his pick? Keep his options open?  I guess so!! Quite nice to choose between two young women twenty years his junior.  What an absolutely vile creature to preach about celibacy and spirituality and to use this to manipulate an innocent woman into being his new sex partner.</p>
<p>Perhaps people should question why he was still living with his wife, Edith, until at least 2008/2009 if he knew he would be with a young woman since 2006.</p>
<p>He talks of &#8220;years of separation&#8221; before starting a new relationship but my ex-husband and I lived with them during the time they were supposedly separated, and they were very much together!  This young woman came to live with him in 2007 while he was still married to Edith.</p>
<p>Perhaps people should question why this young woman came to live with &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217; AND his wife in November 2007 while he was still married to Edith, the three of them, his wife and his lover, living together in a one-bedroom apartment!!</p>
<p>What was Edith’s role – to hold his hand? To continue cooking his meals and making his cups of tea while this new young woman served his &#8216;needs&#8217;? To form the pretence that he was still a married man so none of his followers would know what was really going on?</p>
<p>Perhaps they should also question why &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217; is not married to this young woman 5 years after the apparent start of their relationship when he preaches that couples MUST be married. Is he even divorced from Edith? Did he want to deceive and hide his new relationship from the rest of his followers?</p>
<p>Mark Pritchard’s followers continue to worship him despite the above and are now so utterly brainwashed that they view this as perfectly acceptable behaviour.</p>
<p>In fact they state that they feel terrible that his personal life has been exposed. Yes, poor, poor Belzebuub. It is so sad that he has had to admit to living with a wife and a lover at the same time and choosing between two young women to serve him, isn&#8217;t it? It must be hard for him to have to share these details when they contradict everything he has ever taught and the entire gnostic teachings that he is meant to be a Master of.</p>
<p>In my opinion, &#8216;Belzebuub&#8217; is no enlightened God. Rather, he is an utterly disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, lying and manipulative person who preys on the psychological vulnerabilities of his followers.</p>
<p>STAY CLEAR OF MARK PRITCHARD!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Belzebuub’s teachings appear over and over to be anything but “free”. They appear if anything to be a very successful money making scam. But read on and then you decide.</p>
<p>The cult of &#8216;Belzebuub teachings&#8217; began in Australia over 10 years ago. That was when a poor(so he claimed) man called Mark Harold Pritchard (born in Wales – pale, sickly and terrified of insects and germs as described by those who know him) and his wife Edith (South American born and educated in Communist Russia on a scholarship and a driving force within the organisation) came to Australia from England on assisted religious visas. After soon falling foul of the spiritual organisation they came to represent in Australia called UCGM (the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement of the New Order Inc.),  the Pritchards decided to close down and move the finances from UCGM to the present day &#8220;The Gnostic Movement&#8221; which was incorporated in 2000 and has since remained under their tight control. Read more about this here. <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/04/how-the-gnostic-movement-of-mark-pritchard-has-started-and-the-tidal-wave-2/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/04/how-the-gnostic-movement-of-mark-pritchard-has-started-and-the-tidal-wave-2/</a></p>
<p>If you are new to Belzebuub and his spiritual teachings, which he continually professes are free, then  firstly we suggest that you visit Belzebuub’s dedicated website where you are directed to  the  many “donation buttons” and pretty butterflies. As you will see on this personal site, donations need not be limited to $5 or $10 dollar amounts.  You can feel free here to donate to Belzebuub directly amounts of hundreds and thousands of dollars, as has been done in the past by his trusting but gullible followers.  And if you become a regular of Belzebuub’s teachings and his &#8216;free&#8217; courses then there may well be an expectation for you to pay (donate) even more to Belzebuub. If this happens and if history is any guide, then you may be asked to write down what you have agreed to <strong>&#8216;pledge&#8217;</strong> ( then set up a direct debit from your bank account for a committed giving) and sign a <strong>&#8216;statement of commitment&#8217;</strong>. Oh and if your rent is overdue and you’ve had some unforseen medical expenses&#8230;that is no excuse!!!!! In the past, financially strapped students have been embarrassingly intimidated by being sat down with their banks statements and asked to explain short falls in their  “pledges”.  <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/06/14/an-experience-from-a-female-student-2/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/06/14/an-experience-from-a-female-student-2/</a></p>
<p>Since the formation of The Gnostic Movement in Australia in 2000, the soliciting of donations for the “free” teachings of the god persona “Belzebuub”, created by Mark (and Edith) Pritchard, have flooded in.  Read a related story here <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/04/it-all-started-in-1997-my-personal-experience-2/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/04/it-all-started-in-1997-my-personal-experience-2/</a> With this new age spiritualism on offer, The Gnostic Movement centres, run by spirituality-seeking volunteers, quickly began to spread within Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong, Perth, Brisbane) and to other parts of the world (Greece, the UK, USA and Canada). Together with this growth and the recruitment of more and more students; the donations firstly a trickle, began to stream in. These donation streams further grew with the commencement of online courses which also required the reading of Belzebuub’s teachings in his self published books (all profits from book sales went back into the Pritchards’ company Absolute Publishing, also staffed by their spirituality-seeking time and money donating volunteers). But then as Belzebuub says “the more you donate the more you will receive” &#8230;but in reality it would seem that the more you donate the more he, Belzebuub receives.  <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/06/22/belzebub-teachings-your-work-has-useful-side-effects/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/06/22/belzebub-teachings-your-work-has-useful-side-effects/</a></p>
<p>Of course one of the biggest expenses normally in running such a large and expanding organisation is in the payment of staff wages. However for Belzebuub it appears that the only paid staff members (if you can call them staff) are himself and his wife Edith. Even their personal assistant (a young woman who left Australia in 2007 to join them in the USA and who has worked in virtual servitude for them since) was only given her board and keep <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/10/15/our-family%E2%80%99s-experience-of-the-gnostic-movement-over-the-past-7-years-2/">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/10/15/our-family%E2%80%99s-experience-of-the-gnostic-movement-over-the-past-7-years-2/</a>. Her family needed to provide  medical insurance for her &#8230;as Belzebuub didn&#8217;t &#8230;and when they last saw her she was in a desperately malnourished state.  After two years of servitude to the Pritchards  she still had no savings and was still hoping for a small retainer to cover her personal costs, as her meager savings had all been spent. Understandably her family are gravely concerned for her personal well being and fear she may have become Belzebuub’s “gravedigger” after he and his wife failed to procure a young married woman, also in 2007, for their selfish and evil sexual purposes. <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/08/a-decade-with-the-gnostic-movement-my-story-part-4-2/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/08/a-decade-with-the-gnostic-movement-my-story-part-4-2/</a></p>
<p>Unlike their trusting followers, the Pritchards ensured that they personaly were well cared for, even though neither of them had worked outside of this organisation since it began <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2011/01/07/response-to-belzebuub-gnostic-movement-statement-about-donations%E2%80%A6-from-its-former-treasurer/">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2011/01/07/response-to-belzebuub-gnostic-movement-statement-about-donations%E2%80%A6-from-its-former-treasurer/</a></p>
<p>Not only were they given wages but also <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> their costs of living were covered, including their medical insurance, rent and a car. In addition to this they (Belzebuub) received considerable financial gain <span style="text-decoration: underline;">through donations, both directly and indirectly </span>from all the other Gnostic Movement centres in the world. Plus they had a rental stream coming in from the property they acquired in Australia (again at considerable financial benefit to them) from The Australian Gnostic Movement that was built as an intended retreat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/22/mark-pritchard-takes-the-gnostic-movements-property-as-his-own-part-i-2/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/22/mark-pritchard-takes-the-gnostic-movements-property-as-his-own-part-i-2/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/28/a-significant-benefactor-to-the-gnostic-movement-2/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/28/a-significant-benefactor-to-the-gnostic-movement-2/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2011/03/27/mark-edith-pritchard-never-sold-back-the-australian-property-to-gnostic-movement/" target="_blank">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2011/03/27/mark-edith-pritchard-never-sold-back-the-australian-property-to-gnostic-movement/</a></p>
<p>The Gnostic Movement followers had spent years raising donations for retreat properties not only in Australia but also in the USA and in Greece.<a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/14/283-2/">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/14/283-2/</a> These retreats never eventuated although the donations towards them continued. And when all The Gnostic Movement centres were closed around the world on March 2nd, 2011, no retreat properties existed, or had they ever. And no explanation has been given as to what has happened to all these donations.  Perhaps only Belzebuub  knows&#8230;.and his wife Edith.</p>
<p>Each country’s Gnostic Movement had its own separate company structure, and as such were not subsidiary companies of the Australian TGM, and each of these companies donated to the Pritchards (Belzebuub) both directly and indirectly. To give you an idea of the amounts of money that has been raised from donations in Australia alone; in their Annual Statement for <strong>2009 </strong>(a publicly available document from The Department of Fair Trading) provided by Belzebuub’s The Gnostic Movement Inc. the statement/balance sheet revealed that <strong>The Gnostic Movement Australia</strong> <strong>had received $691,000</strong> (rounded to the nearest $1K) <strong>in income in that year</strong>. This is the breakdown of that income:</p>
<p>Direct deposits <strong>$620,000 </strong><em>(&#8216;statement of commitment pledges/committed giving&#8217;</em> &#8230;.<em>by direct debit ?) </em></p>
<p>+ Cash donations<strong> $61,000</strong></p>
<p>+ Indirect donations <strong>$4,000</strong></p>
<p>+ Other receipts <strong>$5,000</strong></p>
<p>+ Bank interest<strong> $1,000 </strong></p>
<p>+ books <strong>$0.00 </strong></p>
<p><strong>=  $691,000</strong></p>
<p>In accounting for the expenditure of this <strong>$691,000 income (nearly all from donations and not even one dollar from book sales</strong>&#8230;.perhaps purchase of these books was by &#8216;donation&#8217;), after deducting the various TGM centres running costs and including ‘National Payments’ of $17,000 (no wages were paid, all <em>time</em> typically was donated), by far the largest proportion of the expenditure of <strong>over $582,000 is described as ‘Other non GST expenses’ </strong>and was completely unaccounted for.</p>
<p>Where, or to whom, did all this money go? If it was paid to Mr. Mark or Mrs. Edith Pritchard, was it declared in a tax return or was it donated to The Belzebuub Foundation (having charitable status) tax free? &#8230;&#8230;And this is only in Australia! What about the accountability of the financial statements for all the other Gnostic Movement entities in other parts of the world? Surely if all is above board then wouldn&#8217;t they welcome public scrutiny? Apparently not so, as they still try to silence us. <a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/08/spiritualty-and-%E2%80%98fundraising-events%E2%80%99-the-divine-spark-within-you-2/">http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/2010/07/08/spiritualty-and-%E2%80%98fundraising-events%E2%80%99-the-divine-spark-within-you-2/</a></p>
<p>It is no wonder people are asking questions; people who have had their lives and incomes drained by The Gnostic Movement and Belzebuub&#8217;s free teachings ….all whilst seeking their pathway to spiritual elightenment.</p>
<p><strong><em>Perhaps people can now begin to understand how profitable Belzebuub’s &#8216;free&#8217; teachings are for Belzebuub &#8230;..and why</em></strong> <strong><em>those who have escaped Belzebuub&#8217;s cult believe it to be nothing more than a deceptive, money making scam! </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/harassment.jpg"></a>In April of this year, nearly half a year ago, I wrote my last posting about Mark Pritchard and his organisation as by this time I had completed the sharing of my story and experiences.  In July, I posted my last message (‘A Thank You Note to Pritchard’s Followers’) announcing that I would not be dealing with them any longer nor would I be posting again. </p>
<p>Unfortunately however, Pritchard’s followers did not wish the conflict between ‘us’ and ‘them’ to end. I can only think that his followers, who have already demonstrated their seething hatred of us, have too much time on their hands since their organisation closed down and that launching into a barrage of harassment against myself and my husband is a way for them to feel that they are doing something ‘valuable’ to defend their ‘Master’ and to continue their ‘great work for humanity’. It is quite a paradox if ever I have heard one, but there we are… </p>
<p>Here is a summary of their harassing behaviour towards us, which continues up until this day: </p>
<ol>
<li>They started a website called Gnostic Voice on which they wrote articles about myself, my husband and others, identifying us by our full names and writing slanderous articles about us. They started a social media campaign and spread the articles as widely as possible around the internet.  Gnostic Voice was eventually removed by WordPress for violation of their terms and conditions.</li>
<li>Once the site was removed, they started a new website, which still exists, on which they continued to post numerous slanderous articles about us, this time using alias names.  The articles contain outright lies, assumptions, accusations and slander. They misquoted emails of mine out of context and Mark and Edith Pritchard even shared a highly personal email that I wrote to them, entirely manipulating and twisting what I wrote to infer a meaning to my words which was not there.</li>
<li>They continued their slander on a 3<sup>rd</sup> website, Belzebuub Teachings, in which Pritchard’s followers turned into a pack of wolves, fanatically and obsessively posting messages about us, our jobs and our personal lives on a daily basis.</li>
<li>They falsely accused us of sending spam, even though the 2 or 3 emails we sent were valid communications sent to individuals we knew through our time in the organisation, some of whom we knew for more than 5 years.</li>
<li>They also accused my husband’s company of spam as above and they announced their intention to undermine my husband’s employment.</li>
<li>They created postings on the Belzebuub Teachings website using the word ‘spam’ and the name of his company more than 15 times in one posting in order for his company to come up in google searches associated with the word ‘spam’.</li>
<li>They contacted the ISP of my husband’s company to try to get his company website taken down by again making false accusations about spam.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, my husband and I have been receiving numerous emails from one of their own members which <em>does</em> meet the definition of spam in every respect, containing only the message: ‘<em>This is a drugstore of your dream! Follow this link right now!’</em></li>
<li>They announced their intention to contact clients of my husband’s company and tell them bad things about him, whether they did this or not, we do not know.</li>
<li>They filed a report with the government, containing a fanciful story that my husband’s company had people working there that were not on the official records, which was of course entirely false, in order to create more problems for the company.  It is no surprise that the government found everything in their company to be in perfect order.</li>
<li>They filed police reports in two different countries accusing us of infringing their ‘religious freedom’ and ‘human rights’. The police investigated the matter and found no problem with what we were doing and were happy for us to continue sharing our experiences if we wished.</li>
<li>They did an internet search to find out what my own employment is and discovered that I am working as an online Teacher. One of their members threatened to write a website about me under the title ‘Hall of Shame’ in order to turn away my students and undermine my employment.</li>
<li>In the last two weeks they have resumed their barrage of slander, posting articles and forums about me and my husband on more than five additional websites, using our full names and in association with slanderous content. They have had their postings deleted on three of the websites due to violation of the sites code of conduct.</li>
<li>They have conducted an extensive internet search about us to ‘dig’ for information, finding information about our interests, hobbies and business networks and have tried to use this information to discredit us. For example, one of our interests is to participate in a business networking organisation, which runs social and business events and utilises network marketing to advertise.  Without any knowledge or experience of the organisation, and clearly without any experience of network marketing, they have made false and bizarre accusations about it to try to harm and discredit our image.  At the same time they preach that one should never speak without direct experience, should never hold beliefs or opinions about things for which they do not know, should never engage in gossip or hearsay and yet this is exactly what they do.  On the other hand, I have spoken from nearly 10 years of experience with their organisation as a student, teacher, member, national board member, international board member and having lived with the leader Mark Pritchard and his wife. We do not rely on any gossip or hearsay but on concrete facts. </li>
</ol>
<p>So as you can see, Mark Pritchard’s followers are engaging in an ongoing campaign of harassment. They are unable to move on with their lives or to let go of their hatred and desire for revenge.  It seems they have become like lost sheep since their ‘Master’ closed down The Gnostic Movement and they have no better way to spend their time than to engage in a malicious online campaign. </p>
<p>We had announced our intention to cease our stand against them but it was not enough. They want revenge and only revenge. But enough is enough. We will not tolerate harassment and attempts to destroy our jobs and lives. They have done it once and we will not allow it to happen again. </p>
<p>So they have forced us to act to defend ourselves and to take actions which will place pressure on them to cease their slanderous campaign. We will be announcing the creation of a new website in which we will be making a stand against their harassment. Details will follow soon…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to thank the individuals in Pritchard’s group of worshipers who submitted reports to multiple authorities claiming that myself and my husband were inflicting ‘religious persecution’ on their group and infringing their human rights.  </p>
<p>Why am I thanking them?  I am thanking them because for many months they have been claiming that we acted illegally by sharing our stories and speaking out against them, that what we have been doing is not freedom of speech but ‘hate speech’ and that we have persecuted them and infringed their human rights.  By them submitting reports to such authorities they have only confirmed the opposite – that is, that we have acted within our rights, that we are entitled to share our stories with whomever we please, that we are not acting illegally and that we have a right to post our experiences and opinions on this blog site – a fact we already knew to be true. </p>
<p>I personally have found much benefit in sharing my story publicly in this manner. I appreciate the support of many individuals who post on this site, the administrators and many people I have met along the way. I am pleased that as a result of a large number of people speaking out against The Gnostic Movement, Belzebuub Teachings and Mark and Edith Pritchard, that The Gnostic Movement has closed down, their activities have been subdued, that the truth has come out and that individuals who once would have been naïve to the reality of this group, can now read the warning labels before entering into it. </p>
<p>For months now, I and my husband have felt that we have said everything we needed to say and shared everything we wanted to share, and we have long moved on to bigger and better things. We are overjoyed to have a new lease on life, free of the ball and chain of Mark Pritchard, glad that our stories helped others and we don’t intend to waste another second on him and his ego.  </p>
<p>So adieu and adios, we hope one day his followers will rise above the belief instilled in them by Mark Pritchard that they are worth less than &#8221; a worm in the mud of the earth&#8221; and to experience the joy &amp; hapiness that we now feel.</p>

<p><em>PLEASE READ (and RE-READ) SLOWLY, THEN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:</em></p>
<p><em>_____________________________________________________</em></p>
<p><em></em>-  <strong>Why not visit another Gnostic school and compare them?</strong></p>

<p>-  <strong>Have you compared translations?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>What’s wrong with attending other religious venues?<em> </em></strong><em>Have you visited any lately?</em></p>
<p>-  <strong>How much of your own money have you donated to M.P.’s organization?</strong></p>
<p><em><strong></strong></em>-  <strong>Do you know where your money is now?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Have you studied the Tree of Life, Kaballah, the Tarot, the Lamasery, Runes, Astrology, Gnostic Anthropology, Occult Physiology, Cosmic History etc<strong>.</strong><em> </em></strong><em>If not, why?</em></p>
<p>-  <strong>Have you read the writings of those whom Samael compiled his writings from?&#8230;</strong>namely: Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Madame Blavatsky, Leadbeater, Hartmann, Heindel, Paracelsus, Manly P. Hall, Sivananda, Eliphas Levi, Dion Fortune, Emmanuel Kant, Wolfgang Von Goethe, Rudolf Steiner. <strong> <em> If so, to what extent?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Have you read any of the scriptures from the world&#8217;s great religions or traditions<em>? </em></strong><em>If so, how seriously?<br />
</em></p>
<p>-  <strong>Have you ever tried Buddhist meditation?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Have you ever tried to find your Inner Self without being in the confines of a spiritual organization?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you not think it’s weird that M.P. considers himself the only “master” living on the planet and higher than Jesus Christ?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you not think it’s abnormal that someone of his “stature” is afraid of germs and bugs?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you know the reason why he disassociated himself with and shut down his previous websites?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you know why he doesn’t use the word “Gnostic” anymore and anywhere?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you know if he or his wife have ever apologized for anything?</strong> <em>eg: threatening students and members with demotions or ex-communication, instilling fear in people regarding failure, removing information from Samael&#8217;s writings etc&#8230;<br />
</em></p>
<p>- <strong> Do you know M.P. or his wife personally?</strong><em> If so, how truly?</em></p>
<p><em><strong></strong></em>-  <strong>How well do you know those who are directly under him and his wife?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you know why he needs so many followers?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Do you think he takes orders from anyone?<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  How is it that anyone who openly disagrees with him is either given a strict warning or kicked out, and labelled a betrayer?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Did you ever notice that M.P.&#8217;s students are mostly young people?<br />
</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>How much of Gnosis do you know besides what you’ve been told by M.P. or his wife?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Do you think there’s a chance that Rabolu was wrong about certain things?</strong><em><br />
</em></p>
<p>-  <strong>What do you know about Samael’s wife Litelantes?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Did you know that she was one of three people that independently guided the original Gnostic Movement after Samael&#8217;s death?  And that the other two </strong>(Joaquin Amortegui and Julio Medina)<strong> split from her, and very soon after began disputing with each other over supremacy?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>On a scale of 1 to 10, do you think it’s possible to successfully walk the path without any physical authority?</strong> <strong> </strong></p>
<p>- <strong> Is it really deathly harmful to go to a movie or listen to music other than classical?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Is there such a thing as “true creative life” outside of promoting and marketing?</strong></p>
<p>- <strong> How many times have you seen or spoken to your parents in the last month?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>How many old friends have you spoken to since you got involved in M.P’s organization?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Have you had to put any of your personal aspirations on hold since being involved in the movement?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  How many &#8220;tests&#8221; of a ridiculous nature have you put yourself through?<br />
</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Would you ever think that Gnosis could be incorporated, or that its teachings would be trademarked or copyrighted?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Do you know of ANY other &#8220;spiritual leader&#8221; who has a team of lawyers surrounding and protecting him?</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Have you ever heard of ANY authentic spiritual organization who has tried to shut down websites or silence people who openly disagree?<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Do you not think that M.P.&#8217;s websites &#8220;Terms of Use&#8221; sound strikingly totalitarian? </strong></p>
<p><strong>-  Have you ever read ANY other spiritual school&#8217;s public &#8220;disclaimers&#8221; displaying this type of extremity?<br />
</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Have you noticed that the organization of M.P. resembles a company?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Why not listen to and follow your own Inner Being instead of someone else’s?</strong></p>
<p>-  <strong>Have you ever considered that those who post here have had actual legitimate and honest experiences?</strong></p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>…THESE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO START WITH…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To my attention came two documents concerning nagging statements from 2 loyal followers of Mark and Edith Pritchard (and his wife) which had been given to various authorities in yet another attempt to silence us. These documents were about a list of argument which show how these 2 people perceive the reality of things. They accuse people for slandering them and for telling lies about them. Both are from Greece. One of them is  former Member of the Gnostic Movement Greece expelled a year plus ago by the current directors, after a series of facts found regarding his actions in Greece and abroad regarding abuse of authority, falsifying documents, etc. Many things regarding this subject can be found in posts where things about Greece are mentioned in here. A legal opinion was sent to all made by a lawyer and a criminologist but they accuse people even for this.<span id="more-1860"></span></p>
<p>His wife also complains that people lie for things told about her. However, there are emails, witnesses, able to testify (also in Greece) and all the framework that prove her lying blatantly. <strong>Didn’t they think that the people mentioned in their documents will go and present the real case to proper authorities also and therefore reveal their lies?</strong></p>
<p>They claim that no one has the right to say anything negative about Mark and Edith Pritchard and they ask all who have different experiences from them to stop speaking of it. They also mention the opposites from what lawyers who witnessed and monitored things have in their possession.</p>
<p>And this is only one document which is labeled to address subjects only related to them.</p>
<p>The female also said that there were lies told about her trying to manipulate people. She forgets some mails she sent to specific people saying &#8216;either you will blatantly obey me and my husband or else…&#8217;. They also forget the mails they sent to try to illegally expel people from Gnostic Movement Greece, sent in the name and under specific instructions of Mark Pritchard and Gnostic Movement to many.</p>
<p>They also forget that the male has hidden official corporate correspondence of Gnostic Movement Greece which additionally proves more things happened. They forget though that there are tons of emails that prove the existence of such correspondence. They also forget their lawyer informed them that this is like doing theft.</p>
<p>They forget (the male) that he was removed from he Board of Directors (BoD) along with other 2 members due to all their actions from the real and only associates of Gnostic Movement Greece which they illegally tried –along with Mark Pritchard- to remove and expel.</p>
<p><strong>However in the second document</strong> (exclusively about Mark and Edith Pritchard) they provide complaints and arguments <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and ask specific people to stop saying things about Mark and Edith Pritchard</span>. They try to portray a completely different situation to authorities. A situation easily brought down by presenting simple evidence to authorities, who confronted the whole case with a smile.</p>
<p>In that document with the absurd demand that all people who speak their mind, experience and facts for Mark and Edith Pritchard must stop, shut up, not post, not comment and whatever absurd and out of proportion thing you can imagine. I really wonder if Mark and Edith Pritchard are aware of that? Is it a directed action but still without them having the sense to reply to all people who ask them things? If Yes, it’s interesting and if Not is more interesting.</p>
<p>Among these things those 2 persons present, some highlights are -to give you a feeling of the whole document:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>They say that Mark and Edith Pritchard never received any money for the &#8216;work&#8217; they do</strong>. They say that in writting, sealed and signed. While at the same time with a simple application or call to the IRS anyone can get the same PDF of financial statements that –signed and filed by Gnostic Movement USA- present the exact opposite with exact numbers! They were also published here as they are Open for Public Inspection. Why they are instructed or got initiative to state officially such a lie, only they know and those who allowed them to do it.</li>
<li>They lie about the “spiritual name” of Mark Pritchard pronouncing it differently to dissolve impressions of the demon behind the name. They forget there is evidence for this also.</li>
<li>They say that Gnostic Movement started in Australia and all other GM’s are subsidiary companies. Another lie,  as each GM per country was and is a standalone legal entity.</li>
<li>They state, that all this time Mark Pritchard is the instructor and spiritual leader of Gnostic Movement and that the whole Gnostic Movements of his (except Greece who declared that had nothing to do with them) are working together under his guidance. Something, which proves that Mark Pritchard (along with his wife) managed in secret the whole Gnostic Movement all these years. A significant fact and action  which proves what is also written here for manipulation of people, because at the same time Mark Pritchard and his followers have claimed he is not responsible for The Gnostic Movement etc. It’s very interesting to see this in written confession.</li>
<li>To enhance this further they say that only Gnostic Movement Greece has removed any connection with them. Thank you.</li>
<li>They also claim that Mark Pritchard was their spiritual leader while he was also a Member of Gnostic Movement, the founder, the Head Instructor. While at the same time it was illegal to be all these and a manager of all organizations (and his wife Edith also) since this cannot stand in companies located in different countries AND NOT being subsidiaries…</li>
<li>They say that Mark Pritchard was slandered among his colleagues. Which means… go figure what… What colleagues indeed?</li>
<li>I am amazed to see the declaration of worship towards a person and his wife. As this is about because what is the meaning to sign statements where you say that you are annoyed because some people have specific opinions for another one, which is not you!!! This is the result of Mark Pritchard’s training.</li>
<li>They accuse people as bad because they asked directly Mark Pritchard and Edith Pritchard for replies on what it is said about them and also told them they felt scammed.</li>
<li>They say lies that people who participate here are not slandered with their real names in their forums. (Do they forget the Gnostic Voice website which published full names and details of individuals here?) And in the next phrase they extort saying that they will remove these people’s names from their forums if they stop speaking, complaining, posting, commenting, here. How does this sound?</li>
<li>They do call all people who post here liars, slanderers and more.</li>
<li>They call their forums as peaceful and spiritual, while it is full of plots and schemes to bully and threaten and silence the people who post here.</li>
<li>They still try to connect Gnostic Movement with Mark and Edith Pritchard. An obsession and only since Mark Pritchard has renounced anything Gnostic from his site, even his Gnostic Teachers and closed down their Gnostic Centres. While the same time all things written are and were for Mark and Edith Pritchard’s actions and behavior and instructions. Pretty lame isn’t it?</li>
<li>They also claim that people here are monitoring Mark and Edith Pritchard’s actions and they accuse those who search for evidence, truth and data and facts. Well, I think there are people who do monitor things. Many consider him harmful and thus they have an eye open for his actions. They even accuse people who comment and ask information on why they ask those, and by doing that (by asking) Mark Pritchard and Edith get into trouble… Well, I am sure they are. After all this is all the fuss from their side about isn’t it?</li>
<li>But I wonder why they think there are spooks who monitor them. Their actions are the same all these years. They are quite predictable as all these who try to hide the truth and those who try hard not to see and hear. They all have the exact and expected behavior.</li>
<li>Finally they accuse people for presenting documents characterized Open for Public Inspection. They actually accuse people for presenting them even if it is perfectly legal to do so. Among and especially (as it is frequently repeated) the ones related with money/salaries/compensations…</li>
</ul>
<p>As said, people just need to speak out the truth. The false ones will destroy themselves by their mindset.</p>
<p>Why the fuss for being in the favor of Mark and Edith Pritchard? Why some people try to look nice to the eyes of others? Why they mix kindness with bluffing?</p>
<p>And I wonder. For what? On why those other loyal Members who participate in the Boards of Gnostic Movements of Mark Pritchard in other countries don’t speak out about the financial data or more. Why do they silence indeed…? There are their signatures in official papers, not mine.</p>
<p>Once more as much they try to harm people the more they reveal.</p>
<p>Make your own conclusions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>_____________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>I’m not going to describe the miracle that happened to me finding Gnosis in the year 2000, nor will I describe the details of my involvement with a particular independent Gnostic School before 2002, and after 2004.</p>
<p>What I am going to do in this testimonial letter is describe the events that took place between the years 2002-2004 in Toronto, Canada with an organization at the time called “Mysticweb” and later “Gnosticweb” but now called various other names, and whose web content/terms/disclaimers etc. have been updated, expanded and modified countless times over the years.  From what I’ve heard and read, the current prevailing controversies, contradictions, manipulation and  misinformation surrounding their teachings, their organization and their  leader have been frightfully shocking.</p>
<p>It seems due that the leader(s) of that institution issue a public apology for the damage and harm they’ve done to so many people.</p>
<p><span id="more-1844"></span></p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>It is my sincere wish that anybody still involved in the GM of M.P. seriously consider stepping away from it, in order to become an completely free-thinking/full-fledged independent individual, whose destiny lies ONLY in him/herself and not in any one group, organization or even in another person, no matter how spiritual they may be.</p>
<p>Walking “the path” and all its implications has nothing to do with affiliation.  Many times in life we meet people who don’t practice spiritual things, belong to a particular philosophy or merely believe certain things but in themselves are in fact spiritual people.  As if they have a more “awakened” consciousness and don’t even know it.  There are others who consider themselves spiritual and awakened, but in fact are the opposite.</p>
<p>Gnosis is not about copyrights or trademarks.  Wisdom cannot be owned.</p>
<p>(To my knowledge and experience in all my travels and studies, the Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner, the Gnostic Anthropology of Samael Aun Weor and the Theosophical Society of Madame Blavatsky have thus far in my opinion been the only ones to pinpoint, show and elucidate all of the aspects of Spiritual Science, as well as disclose all the unknown potentials of the Human Being).</p>
<p>The cons most definitely outweigh the pros of M.P.’s secret agenda organization, as have been revealed by many others on this site (and elsewhere) and as you will see from the following narrative.  Some lucky ones realized what they were involved in early on, and left soon after me…and many others since then.  But sadly, many others are still involved in that organization and seem to be in my opinion, “<strong><em>wearing sunglasses and holding an umbrella</em></strong>”.</p>
<p>I have been debating about sharing my unique experience for years, and so far only a select few know about it in basic outlines.  It has taken me a long to write this and compile my recollections.  But for the great cause of this website and for the benefit of public consciousness, I will relate my story completely, honestly and truthfully.</p>
<p>(The conclusions I have drawn at the end and in other places are entirely my own).</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>After a series of events that led me to finding out about Gnosis in the year 2000, I became very enthusiastic about the profundity of the discovery and traveled a lot over the next 2 years in Canada, the US, England, Scotland and even Greece trying to know as much as I could about Gnosis and meet as many Gnostics as I possibly could.  I read every single Samael book that was available at the time </strong>(only a handful of printed as well as hand bound books, and numerous photocopied lecture transcriptions)<strong>…I had met many different types of Gnostic people and attended many different centers (all related to Samael Aun Weor).  I absorbed the teachings and practiced much. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I knew that I had found “lost gold” in the content of the writings of Samael Aun Weor.  I was as inspired as anyone would be…like someone who always wished, hoped and prayed to find information like this, and then found it!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I was becoming aware of the various splits that had occurred after Samael’s death so I always asked tough questions about the nature of their school, their system, their history etc…Actually I wasn’t disheartened by learning about the different fractions in the least; I found it curious and fascinating.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I saw a poster in Toronto one day advertising an astral travel course hosted by a strange new Gnostic group simply called “The Gnostic Movement”.  As soon as I saw the word Gnostic, I thought I should meet them too and find out what they were about.  They didn’t have a center at the time so were renting a room in a public library.  I had called previously and spoke to a gentleman who told me the date and time to meet for the lecture.  I remember feeling very strange at the end of the call.  On the phone I showed great enthusiasm to meet him and attend, but only received short and brief answers with no real interest from the caller on the other end, inspired by Gnosis.  I felt a strange and cold distance the gentleman had towards a fellow Gnostic.  I brushed it off. </strong></p>
<p><strong>When the date came, it was previously agreed that I was to meet him 15 minutes before the talk.  I remember clearly like yesterday an abnormal feeling coming over me as I came up the stairs.  I didn’t feel well.  I tried to ignore it but it persisted, until I was right in front of the closed entrance.  Before I knocked I instinctively was compelled to do the sign of the cross (in the Gnostic manner) and said a protective mantra/prayer which I had learned.  I then said to myself “What do I have to worry about???  I shouldn’t be worried about anything!” </strong>(It’s only now, years later that I understand why I did that.)<strong> After I knocked, a very thin man opened the door.  I explained who I was, based on the phone conversation and greeted him enthusiastically.  He was in his mid 20’s but actually looked like late 30’s early 40’s!  As I always do when meeting new people, I extended my hand in cordial greeting.  He offered his hand, and I remember the feeling exactly…it was cold, and somewhat lifeless and limp.  I ended up doing the shaking.  I thought it weird that he didn’t smile and I noticed he was pale in color.  It also seemed that his eyes were somewhat sunken into his sockets. </strong></p>
<p><strong>All of the Gnostics I had previously communed with, worked with, befriended and even met in passing were all reasonably passionate people, with rosy cheeks and at least smiled…even on first meeting!  I had never met a Gnostic that was the opposite before.  He was too serious.  We exchanged words, (I actually asked most of the questions) the same ones I usually asked; who, what, when, why.  He didn’t give away too much info, but kept it very brief and general.  This left me wondering.  He asked me a few questions also about my background etc. and I told him.  I could tell he was becoming more and more serious.  I didn’t understand why.  I told him the truth.  As people started coming in I knew the talk would soon start, and took a seat.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The lecture was about astral travel and related themes.  The topic was nothing new to me, (as I read much and had my own limited experiences to date) but what intrigued me was the way he presented it.  He gave it much focus, that I was actually surprised by the end.  Other Gnostics never gave astral travel this much importance on an introductory talk!  I expected to receive some other kind of Gnostic teaching, a general talk on Gnosis, or something of the like…since most “phase one”/”first chamber” classes deal with general and broad themes.  Although I didn’t really learn anything new…the structure and layout of the material was what I noticed.  It was mathematical and very well organized.  I was impressed.  He apparently knew what he was talking about, and communicated a seriousness that was noticeable.  And he didn&#8217;t veer off course either.  This was strange again because I was used to other Gnostic instructors playing off the students, incorporating current events of the day or taking questions during the lecture even.  He was “full steam ahead”, but in a calmish fashion, with no breaks.</strong></p>
<p><strong>After the talk, I told him I was interested in coming again.  He described the nature of the program, a 9-week course, with the prerequisite of reading online material related to the course written by a fellow named Mark Pritchard, the creator of the website “Mysticweb”.  I attended, and got quite a bit out of the course…the most complete workshop on astral travel I’ve ever encountered with bits of practices and exercises from Samael Aun Weor.  Samael’s name wasn’t even mentioned until close to the end of the 9 weeks.  And at that basically nothing else was said about him, except that he was the one who first taught these exercises.  What was interesting and helpful was that the group was consistent.  The people that attended came back the next week for the next part of the course…it was progressive, and I think by about class 3 he had everyone practicing projection.  All of us lying down with our mats, in the middle of a pitch black library room!  Weird, but at the same time “practical”. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I had to take the first course over because I started on class two.  I thought it was a bit foolish because this information and practicing was familiar to me and was already incorporated into my life.  Although the instructor knew this he couldn’t let me skip anything or make a special circumstance.  The structure was set up that, if someone missed a class they would have to re-start the course over as they missed “too much” information.  I had to follow the system.</strong></p>
<p><strong>After I completed the course there was another 9 week course offered for free called (I think) “Searching Within”, held on a different day.  The first course ran continuously with the second.  This second series dealt with aspects again familiar to me in theory and in practice:  the mind, the ego, emotions, consciousness, some aspects of mysticism, mention of the chakras, etc.  The first few were lecture talks only.  In later weeks we practiced the basics of self-observation, awareness etc.  We were asked to do homework about ourselves just as in the first course and come back with our experiences and results the following week.  This was indeed helpful and practical as an individual and as a group.  I remember I found it strange that there was no reference to Samael Aun Weor’s practice of self-remembering.  The soul and spirit was also explained in a dry and glossed over manner.  I was still impressed by the structured and organizational aspects of the classes though. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>In the courses were people from different walks of life, different age groups, and different backgrounds.  Very genuinely interested people.  I don’t ever remember any “hardcore” spiritual or religious people coming to the courses.  Just regular people, perhaps with the simple desire to improve themselves or learn about spiritual things.  Again we heard the name of Samael Aun Weor and with the new addition of Rabolu, another spiritual “master”.  I had heard of Rabolu before, of how he caused different problems regarding division and politics within Gnosis in South America, but other than that I didn’t know much else about him…just that he was another student of Samael Aun Weor.  So for the first two courses I basically kept my mouth shut on what I knew.  I actually (and unfortunately) entered the courses wholeheartedly and enthusiastically with the sincere desire to learn anew.  Perhaps these Gnostics had a better approach to the teachings of Samael Aun Weor than the others?  I grew more and more interested in the figure of the writer of the courses we read online and attended in person.  Still nothing much was said about him, except that he was someone with a higher awakened consciousness, and who was a student of “Rabolu”.  It was intriguing. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>In the second course I found it weird that meditation was not spoken of, or practiced.  Just relaxation, breathing and other simple practices.  The three centers of the human being were explained but not the two other superior centers </strong>(Superior Intellectual Center and Superior Emotional Center)<strong>.  The Three Minds </strong>(Sensual Mind, Intermediate Mind and Inner Mind)<strong> were not discussed either.  But I was enjoying the courses and doing all the practices they told me to, I didn’t mind them skipping over information.  I had to take the second course twice because I met some friends who were taking the first course and I wanted them to catch up to the next one.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>By the time I reached the third and forth courses, then called “Journey to Enlightenment” and “Advanced Investigation”, there were about 10 -15 of us (including my friends).  I realized that the information I was receiving was advanced compared to the other two courses but not as complete compared to the information in Samael’s books.  I was looking forward to hearing what they had to say about Kabbalah and the Tree of Life, the Tarot, the law of Heptaparshinock (law of 7), the Triamatzikamno (law of 3)….but there was no say in those matters, if anything a questioner was answered “it’s too intellectual” and that they were more practical in Gnosis than “intellectualizing”. </strong></p>
<p><strong>We didn’t even hear about Cosmic History, the Cosmic Days/Nights, nothing about the Seven Rounds or Seven Root Races.  Nothing was spoken about Gnostic Astrology, Gnostic Anthropology, Occult Physiology, Planetary forces, Runes or the Tarot.  There wasn’t even an esoteric study of any sacred scripture, or even an esoteric study of the different religions of the world for that matter!  I was surprised, but just went along with it.  Luckily “Alchemy” was explained correctly.  We were given an online edition of a few Samael books (as mandatory requisite material for entering yet another course later). </strong></p>
<p><strong>In one of the weeks I received a major shock that was the antithesis of what I had previously learned on the death of the ego.  They just simply called it “The Death”.  It was taken from a concept Rabolu had taught to eliminate one’s ego.  Rabolu had called it “The Death in Motion” or “Death March”…which was actually never spoken of OR taught by Samael in any one of his books or lectures!  Samael wrote on different occasions that we must “die from moment-to-moment”, but Rabolu </strong>(and consequently M.P.)<strong> took this concept literally, and created an extremely stressful “practice” of the mind to incorporate into one’s life.  Samael on the other hand taught “Meditation” as the way to remove one’s ego.  And even though I noticed this discrepancy, it was brushed off casually by the instructor simply saying Samael was mistaken and not practical enough for the times we were actually living in! </strong></p>
<p><strong>As the weeks carried on, I and those dedicated friends were given more and more of an inside view of the Gnostic Movement based in Australia and its current leader.  I remember feeling off-put when we were told that Samael had made a wish at the end of his life to burn all his books (apparently at the 1976 International Gnostic Congress) except 5 of them.  I was the only one who knew this to be not only completely false but absolutely ridiculous and unfounded.  I asked for an explanation but they maintained this as “fact” without any proof whatsoever.  That’s when I knew there was something was off.  Not much later, we were told that M.P. was the re-incarnation of Beelzebub…a repented demon Samael describes in his book called “The Revolution of Beelzebub”.  I had read that inspirational book and remembered Samael saying Beelzebub was already living as a little girl in France! </strong></p>
<p><strong>This second and final twist of information confirmed that I had a real problem on my hands.  Either these people are right or Samael Aun Weor was wrong.  I was at a crossroads. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Over these weeks as I pondered about these things and so many others.  Stories were repeatedly told to us about the current Gnostic situation in the world.  That Samael had made all kinds of mistakes in his writings, (the reason why his other books weren’t recommended).  Rabolu was boasted about and boosted up quite a bit, to show how he paved the way (like a John the Baptist) for M.P.’s coming. </strong>(Even though now, I believe that he reduced and watered down Weor’s teachings as well, to no good effect).<strong> The “Black Lodge” had also taken over all other Gnostic and all Religious denominations, and therefore were not to be trusted, etc., if you associate with them, you associate with the Black Lodge.  We were told of M.P.’s spiritual progress, his ascent to Mastery, his “Christ-like” nature, etc.  The claim that he is THE ONLY living Master on planet Earth and actually higher than Jesus Christ!&#8230;how the White Lodge supports him and his new Gnostic movement and that it’s necessary to support him in order for the White Lodge to support you, etc. etc.  Over time and through a lot of pushing they duped everyone, and eventually convinced me. </strong></p>
<p><strong>In his online material the author of the courses was still going by his own name and then all of a sudden in the middle of one of the courses (I can’t remember which one or when), he changed his name to VM Beelzebub, then later he took out the VM., then later changed it again and left it just as “Belzebuub”.  It was definitely odd at the time but I had already bought into everything they said anyway, so it really didn’t matter, all these minor changes. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Over all these months we rose the ranks through taking the courses, we had “seen results” in ourselves and hence confident in him, in whatever M.P. said, the instructor or instructor’s wife said.  We felt we were going somewhere and didn’t want the friendship/community that was being built to end.  But fear grew inside, without anyone knowing it… </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>We were a smallish group of about 15 people (the oldest member was roughly 26), and were becoming serious about taking this new movement everywhere.  We were full of pride and vivacious energy.  Our instructor, we believed to be perhaps a Master too or very close to one.  His serious attitude all the time gave us the impression of profound experiences.  The way he used his words and controlled himself was compelling.  We postered all around the city, practiced giving lectures, constantly went on “awareness” walks, helped out in the other running courses and more.  I remember on a few occasions the library had 40, 50 or so people attending.  We felt that we were a part of something larger than ourselves.  Even though I was a member of “Second Chamber” in the other Gnostic school, I was and we were all swept up in the &#8220;hype&#8221; and momentous energy of this new school.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Since I was the only person familiar with Samael Aun Weor and Gnosis and had ties with other Gnostics and schools outside of these courses, I was given an ultimatum.  “Discontinue your activities with the other Gnostic schools etc. or you won’t be able to advance to the next course”.  The next course was to make one a teacher and was the most serious one of all because it focused mainly on sacrificing yourself.  You would then represent the organization called “The Gnostic Movement” which meant you would also represent the “White Lodge”.  And since I was swayed into believing everything they said, based on my youth, lack of experience in physical life and actual spiritual life.  I believed them, and it was not a problem for me to cut off all my ties.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Some of us were made to repeat a number of courses to gain further insight, while some others didn’t want to be teachers yet (I ended up repeating the last two courses a number of times). </strong></p>
<p><strong>When it became time to take the teacher’s course, it was asked of us to not associate with people who drink, smoke, do drugs, etc.  We were told not to listen to harmful music like rap, metal or rock.  Movie theaters were out of the question.  Going to churches, mosques or temples were also forbidden, and much more.  It was mandatory to contribute to the movement somehow, through flyering or creating new flyers, donations, spreading the courses through word of mouth and online forums (even if that meant reporting posts or comments that didn’t make them look good).  Some of us began looking for a property to rent to give the courses in, instead of using the library. </strong></p>
<p><strong>All the while it was demanded of us to practice more and “apply the death” to oneself at all times.  There was only ONE point of getting into the astral now; solely to meet the &#8220;famous&#8221; M.P.  It was everyone’s goal without question.  We also had to meet on select days to group together and “confess” about our experiences, </strong>(if we even could verbalize them through our mental chaos)<strong>.  Those who couldn’t make it lost points.  Nobody dared to speak out on anything, ask questions, disagree, or debate.  We all knew what would happen, and no one wanted to start from scratch again.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>…But for me, I still lived at home with my father, only had a part-time job and wasn’t in school either.  I also had credit card debts.  I had no goals for my future and no plans for my life or my career.  I was becoming ever distant from my dad and neglectful of my household duties.  I avoided talking to him and seeing him.  He had no idea about what I was involved in and to what extent.  I had lost weight, didn’t talk to people much anymore except if I was trying to convince them about going to the courses.  I noticed that I was losing sleep, losing hair, and the color from my face.  I chose not to connect emotionally or intellectually to things or people as I had before.  I only cared about promoting and more promoting, with the hope that something good might eventually happen to me.  I couldn’t even connect with my inner self anymore.  I became a stiff.  I drifted further and further away.  I stopped asking questions, to myself and others. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I thought I knew it all….</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>My dad stopped talking to me.  One day after trying to confront me about my life and its current status we had a tumultuous argument.  I told him I wanted to become a “teacher” in this new school I was a part of, and when at one point he asked if I would be getting paid for it.  I said no I wouldn’t, it basically would be for free.  That’s when he lost it…</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>It was in those moments of listening to his fire, when I realized I could be in the wrong.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>…I quit a few days later.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>

</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><em>This proved the miracle of my dis-engagement with the GM of M.P.  I severed all connections with anyone and everyone I had from there.  I isolated myself completely for 6 months.  I reevaluated my entire life.  I didn’t read anything spiritual or philosophical in that time.  I instead reevaluated what philosophy and spirituality were within myself, where I stood within the chaos, and came up with my own spiritual truths.  And I came up with a game plan for my life. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>After that 6 month period, I decided that it was necessary to re-investigate the writings of Samael Aun Weor (1917-1977), and see where I went wrong.  He helped me once; long ago…perhaps he could help me again.  He did, or rather I did.  I read his amazing works through new eyes and read them under the guidance of reason…reason I had struggled to re-acquire for myself in that isolated time.  I slowly became the social person I once was, the one who loved to ask questions!  I became close to my friends and family again, and gained a new relationship with myself, and developed a new respect for different cultures and religions.  In those days I also found Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925).  This proved to be the precious healing stone and balm for my distraught soul.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>After coming into myself again and overcoming certain traumas with the help of the Anthroposophical arts, I acquired a faculty I had never had before…</em></p>
<p><em><br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>I could think for myself.</strong></p>

<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> FINAL THOUGHTS</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>What strikes me most strange and surprising of all of this is that the students of M.P.’s movement claim to study Gnosis, claim to be Gnostics or Gnostic students, claim to fall lineage to Samael Aun Weor (the founder of modern Gnosis) without even having fully read or examined all of his writings or even attending other Gnostic centers other than their own!  They have no comparison to asses the validity of the system/approach/content/practices etc. of other Gnostic groups.  Yet they have “authority” to claim that all other Gnostics and Gnostic schools (other than themselves) are false/harmful/black etc.</p>
<p>Doing research about others on the internet or through word-of-mouth, or even relying on hearsay in my opinion means absolutely nothing – ZERO.  Without physically going somewhere and meeting someone physically one has no true knowledge.  I am absolutely not a materialist but, astral experiences should not so easily trusted by oneself and more so by others, especially when having to decipher complex dream content on one’s own.  Projections of the mind, emotional and sexual centers often distort reality.  When reality in fact, could be something entirely different.</p>
<p>I personally do not care about meeting Samael in the astral or M.P., or anyone else for that matter.  I actually only care about meeting my own Being there……….and what a joy that would be!</p>
<p>So the rebuttals which they use and post on their sites are actually INVALID.  I have yet to meet or even hear about someone in all these years (other than myself unfortunately) converting from the Gnostic Movement of Samael Aun Weor, to the Gnostic Movement of Mark Pritchard!  This is because in my opinion, they only get to see a shell of the body of knowledge that Samael left.  Unfortunate as it is, theirs is an extremely thin and watered down version of the original teachings, full of unfounded claims without facts, a one sided school where you are not free to do as you please, to say what you like, and to study/participate in the things you want.  (And in these three examples I am definitely not referring to vain or profane pleasures).</p>
<p>Obviously not all Gnostic students/Gnostic schools are perfect, but I’ve always been welcome to come and go as I please in the other Gnostic Centers I’ve attended.  They simply don’t care about raking-in potential students in numbers, gaining profits, large scale marketing, or micro-managing people for that matter.  They know that that is not what Gnosis is about.  Another thing I’ve observed is that I’ve never met a fully “dynamic” individual in the GM of M.P.  Someone who has their individuality intact, their full sense of independence, and their freedom of will in use at all times!  I am also lucky that I wasn’t one of those people to donate massive amounts of money to them.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p><em>A few years later once I had left M.P.’s movement, I asked a private individual (who I was fortunate enough to meet) who was present at the 1976 congress and who had worked with Samael Aun Weor and Litelantes physically for many years about the outlandish statement Samael was said to have said about the burning of his books.  He clarified to me that Samael never said such a thing.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>*</em>A fact that very few people know of, is that Samael on another date asked the same gentleman if he could translate his books into English.  (Something which he has done, and is continuing to do.)</p>
<p>- see here:</p>
<p>(<a href="http://gnosticteachings.org/about-us/glorian-publishing/1605-about-glorian.html">http://gnosticteachings.org/about-us/glorian-publishing/1605-about-glorian.html</a>)</p>
<p>…Speaking on something I touched upon in the introduction of this letter, I should add that, although I esteem many authors, read broadly and study in many places, there are still things I don’t agree with or understand in everything Samael Aun Weor wrote.  And that goes the same for the writings Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas, Augustine, Goethe, Blavatsky, Steiner, Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Jung and others as well.  I give myself the right to disagree.  I don’t give my entire faith to one person, one philosophy, one system, or one school…I give it only to my BEING; he is the only one that deserves it!</p>
<p><strong>All people, philosophies, systems and schools are ONLY a MEANS to get to your INNER BEING</strong>.  <em>That is all</em><strong>.</strong></p>

<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>(As relevance to the nature of this testimonial and in relation to the matter at hand, included below are some useful insights and words of clarification).</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>RUDOLF STEINER </strong></p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Metamorphoses of the Soul: Paths of Experience</span></em> (lecture from 1909):</p>
<p>“…But then, instead of behaving like a spiritual researcher who can know from his own experience whether the things he sees are in accord with the facts, these pretended researchers will impart information that goes against the facts. Moreover, since people can come only by slow degrees to apply their reasoning powers to understanding what the spiritual researcher says, we must expect that charlatanry, and superstition will flourish preeminently in this realm. Man now has himself to blame if, without wishing to use his intellect, he is led by a certain curiosity to believe blindly in those who pass themselves off as spiritual investigators, so-called. Because men are too comfort-loving to apply their reason, and prefer a blind faith to thinking for themselves, it is possible that nowadays we may have, instead of the old initiate who misused his power, a modern charlatan who imposes on people not the truth, but something he takes for the truth.</p>
<p><em>He then later goes on to say</em>, ”Test everything in the light of healthy reason”.</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">How to Know Higher Worlds</span></em></p>
<p>“For every one step that you take in the pursuit of higher knowledge, take three steps in the perfection of your own character.”</p>
<p><strong>SAMAEL AUN WEOR</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Perfect Matrimony</span></em></p>
<p>“We disseminate spiritual intellectual culture, decency, refinement, logical analysis, conceptual synthesis, academic culture, higher mathematics, philosophy, science, art, religion etc. etc.”</p>
<p>“Awakening internal faculties should run parallel with cultural, intellectual and spiritual development”.</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries</span></em></p>
<p>“For each step that we walk in the development of the chakras, we must also walk a thousand steps in sanctity.”</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Revolution of the Dialectic</span></em></p>
<p>“The Revolution of the Dialectic has the precise clue in order to create an emancipated and uni-total mind; this is the clue to form minds free of conditioning, free of optional concepts.</p>
<p>“The Revolution of the Dialectic does not have dictatorial norms for the mind.</p>
<p>“The Revolution of the Dialectic does not want to cage or imprison thought.</p>
<p>“The Revolution of the Dialectic wants to teach “how” one should think”.</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Zodiacal Course</span></em></p>
<p>“Schools have already given all they have to offer. The centers of knowledge are now converted into business places, each with its own tyrant that forbids its adepts and students to go out in search of knowledge; the prohibitions here, the excommunications and threats there, always leaving things for tomorrow, making a big issue out of the password, the protective amulets, the non-plus-ultra&#8230; of the secrets that no other school possesses.<em> </em></p>
<p>“We are not looking for flatterers of masters nor are we interested in hard-hearted henchmen. We are guiding pillars, so do not become attached to us because our mission is not to gather up followers. We indicate with logical thought and exact concept the path to follow so that each person arrives at his Internal Master (he who lives in silence within you).</p>
<p>“This course is for all the rebels in all schools, for those who do not believe in masters, for those dissatisfied with all beliefs, for those who still have a little courage and a spark of love left within them.  We are not interested in anyone’s money, nor are we interested in monthly fees, or temples made out of brick…</p>
<p>“We do not want any more comedies, pretenses, false mysticism, or false schools…</p>
<p>“We are not in search of followers; all we want is for each person to follow his or her self—their own Internal Master, their sacred Innermost—because He is the only one who can save and glorify us”.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p><strong>This experience from 2002-2004 has shown me a great many things about this organization and my own psychology I would not have figured out if I remained.  I am extremely thankful and grateful to the Lords above and the Lord within for showing me the truth, and disconnecting me from that internally harmful organization.  I must also thank my physical father for playing critical role in making me ask THE QUESTION, and thus turning my life around.  I see him as acting out the role of my spiritual father in those critical and distressing moments of my “youth”. </strong></p>
<p><strong>As Socrates said in Plato’s Apology “<em>The unexamined life is not worth living</em>”.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Who knows what I would have become if I would still be there?  I live a much more fulfilling, energetic, free and happy life now.  I am also thankful for not abandoning the wonders of wisdom and spiritual life like some who left have.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I would also like to give special thanks to those other Gnostics and my friends who knew I was involved with this group and decided not to cut me off from their history and friendship, even though I was made to become suspicious and ill-willed toward them at the time.  They lent me tremendous support afterwards.  Yes, time heals, but it takes time…everyone is different.  It depends on how absorbed and “identified” one was or still is. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thank you also to the creator or creators of this site, without which none of us could examine, share our findings and communicate our experiences to other Gnostics and the broader public, as well as to be able to help others who still find themselves in that strict organization.</strong></p>

This program aimed to assess the nature of the teachings of The Gnostic Movement as taught by “Belzebuub”  (Mark Pritchard ) the  self professed Devil reincarnate and the Movement’s  founder and spiritual leader .</p>
<p>This video series was never shown on this TV program because Belzebuub and his Gnostic Movement followers did everything in their power to have the program stopped. They did not succeed in stopping the TV program but they did succeed in having the time allocated to it significantly reduced. Hence the many videos critical of the Belzebuub teachings, made by ex members and effected families, were not able to be shown as planned. However, these videos have since been put on YouTube and now Belzebuub is trying to have these videos removed. However, irrespective of their attempts to silence their criticisers, the Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub was conclusively judged by the television panel (which included a renowned clinical psychologist and a theologist) to be a dangerous cult that was prepared to lie to achieve its goals. As such, their behaviour was considered to be so dangerous to public safety that the hostess of the program asked that the local police and Interpol be informed about the deeply concerning cultic nature of Belzebuub’s teachings and his Gnostic Movement.</p>
<p><span id="more-1827"></span></p>
<p>These videos that Belzebuub is trying to have removed from You Tube were made by a desperately worried mother of a young woman, who has devoted many years of her life in servitude to Belzebuub and to following Belzebuub’s teachings and who will no longer listen to reason. These videos were made as a warning to all those who might consider following the so called, spiritual teachings of Belzebuub.</p>
<p>Although <strong><em>Belzebuub is trying to silence us</em></strong> and has had the first of this mother’s video (Part 1) disabled by You Tube <strong><em>we will not be silenced </em></strong>and so here are all of the 9 video transcripts and their corresponding You Tube links.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 1 :How Belzebuub used his teachings to recruit people for the Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub</em></strong></p>
<p>This video was removed from You Tube because it supposedly breached their guidelines.</p>
<p>Over 7 years ago our daughter first came across The Gnostic Movement. She was just out of university and in her very early twenties and she was looking for some spiritual improvement to her life. She saw a poster on Astral Projection and then she followed that through by going to their pre-talk and course that they ran. She became very enthusiastic. She thought that she had found what she was looking for in this group. They didn’t supposedly offer a doctrine. They offered the chance for people to understand how to self-explore and it was supposedly a Christian-based philosophy. We were told when we started expressing concerns about this group that the Gnostic beliefs that this group supported were actually also the beliefs of Jesus Christ and that the group was Christian-based and that we had nothing to worry about. She said she was simply trying to become a better person and she hoped that we would support her in this and of course we always would support her in trying to become a better person, who wouldn’t? But as she became more and more involved with this group, we didn’t feel that she was becoming a better person. On the contrary we felt that she was becoming more and more under the control of this group and as such, she was becoming a very different person and a person that we felt we really didn’t know anymore. And so we were very, very concerned about what we thought she was being subjected to and felt that her mind was starting to be controlled by the workings of this group.<strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Part 2 : Belzebuub Teachings Involved Behaviour Control (Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub)</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dQYAsyBWpuc?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dQYAsyBWpuc?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>The sorts of changes that were occurring with our daughter were very, very distressing and concerning to us. They included her initially going on a vegan diet and she started losing weight and she went from being a very vibrant, outgoing, happy go-lucky person, a beautiful complexion, to being thin, pale, big dark rings around her eyes. Her hair was falling out, she went into chronic fatigue. I took her to a doctor.  I had her medically assessed, but the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with her medically. It seemed to be due to her lifestyle. However, this lifestyle continued and spiralled. She was not able to eat pork. I had to keep all our cooking utensils separate. There was a list of ingredients that were included in foods that she had to check rigorously to make sure there were no pork additives in them. She changed the way she dressed. She went to being an individual to being a very conservative dresser in very conservative colours. She no longer had any interest in her friendship group, all friends were cut off. Only people with The Gnostic Movement was she associating with. She didn’t go out socially to any movies for fear of astral larvae, whatever they are, some sort of negative entity in the air that could cause her harm. She slept with a century plant to ward off evil spirits. She wasn’t able to attend even family functions if there was alcohol present, which included my other daughter’s 21<sup>st</sup> birthday celebration, which was of course very important to us as a family. She was a beautiful artist. She stopped drawing, she stopped reading. She used to read widely and she had a very open mind. All that closed off. She took a very menial job in order to get money simply to cover her costs. There was no ambition associated with that job. She had no time for anything other than The Gnostic Movement and what they were getting her to do. She even was told how to have sex or not have sex. Apparently this group believes that you must never orgasm when you have sex because that would bring perhaps a child into the world and if that were the case then this group considers that that child is your personal failure. That perhaps I found one of the most heart breaking things of all. She had no money. She had no time. She had no interests. Her mind was completely closed off to everything but this movement and what it was teaching her. As far as we were concerned, she was under their complete control. We had no say in this.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 3 : Belzebuub Teachings Involved Emotional Control (Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub)</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vcoX5J-LVd4?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vcoX5J-LVd4?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Another way our daughter changed was emotionally. According to the teachings of The Gnostic Movement, you are taught that for spiritual enlightenment you must disintegrate your egos. Your egos are apparently attached to your emotions so in order to disintegrate your egos what you are effectively doing is you are shutting out your emotions. This was the process that continued non-stop and it was very effective because our daughter was able to shut out her emotions and as a result she became very, very lacking in empathy. Her emotions were very controlled. The laughter was being taken from her, the joy. She became incredibly serious. Her mind was constantly checking herself, watching her emotions.  When we showed our emotions, we were told that we were trying to manipulate her or she would just turn away and walk away. She would treat us with coldness, lack of compassion. We were the ones who carried the emotion. We were the ones full of, I presume evil.  When we told her of our misery, our concern, when we wept, nothing, nothing made any difference.  She was devoid of feeling towards us seemingly and this is what she was being taught and as such I guess she felt that she was well and truly on the way to her path to spiritual enlightenment.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 4 : Belzebuub Teachings Involved Thought Control (Gnostic Movement  cult of Belzebuub)</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nF_pLAT5vl4?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nF_pLAT5vl4?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Another process of change that she was undergoing was that we could see her thoughts were being controlled. She was only spending time with the Gnostic Movement people and what they were thinking and what they were teaching her.  She was previously very open-minded and strong-minded. She had her own ideas on things and she was accepting of others even though she didn’t necessarily agree with them. She often accused me of being narrow-minded which I thought was a good thing. It meant that she was far more accepting.  She would go on what was called ‘awareness walks’ and I wasn’t often invited anymore but what I found out was that these ‘awareness walks’ were designed to keep her mind in the moment. That is, when you go for a walk, you look at things, you start to think about things, reflect on the day, whereas in her case she was taught not to do that. She was to go for a walk in isolation of other people, that is, the family. And she was not to reflect on anything. She was to train her mind to be completely focussed, not to be distracted, and this I gather is part of the process of mind-control. You must be 100% of the time in control of your thoughts and this is what she was being taught to do.  We could see that her mind was becoming very trapped, totally focused on everything that she was being taught and there was absolutely no time for private reflection. We couldn’t discuss any topics with her because she wasn’t even aware of what was going on outside of this group.  We were getting of course more and more concerned as time went by. Twelve months was passing and we felt that she was being deliberately and convincingly indoctrinated by this group.  So I actually sat down and I researched cults and I researched all the practices and the methods they used and the defining features of cults and I wrote these points down. I summarised them and wrote them down in a letter and I addressed the letter to our darling daughter. I told her to have a look at all these points and to see if she could see any similarities in what was happening to her and what these points were that I had made.  To please, please consider what was happening to her, if there was any similarity, and to please, please be aware because these were the features of a cult and I didn’t want her sacrificing her life and becoming entrapped in a cult. We felt that she could no longer freely think for herself when she read all of this and came to the conclusion that no, she wasn’t trapped in a cult, that we were wrong.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 5 : Belzebuub Teachings Involved Information Control (Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub)</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ij8UI-10YY?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ij8UI-10YY?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Information control is another part of the workings of this group. It became very obvious, very quickly that our daughter was being cut-off from all outside information.  She was no longer reading, she was no longer exposing herself to television, radio, newspapers, anything; anything outside, even other people because she was only with group members. She was then concentrating for hours reading the works of Mark Pritchard, the leader of this group and anything else he wanted them to read. Basically, he decided what they were to read and what they weren’t so he was controlling their information source through all possible means.  Because she only mixed with group members and her mind was not taught, or was actually taught not to reflect, everything was in total control now. She must stay focussed; she must not do anything outside group activities. Any criticism from us or anyone else, but mostly from us because she wasn’t mixing with anyone else, was cut off immediately. Walk away, don’t wish to discuss, don’t have to answer, I am an adult now, you don’t have control over me.  So she avoided any criticism of any sort directed at The Gnostic Movement. She simply did not want to hear and it wasn’t even worth debating as far as she was concerned. She had the answers, the answers were right, if we disagreed we were utterly, absolutely failing to understand or we were wrong.  As she progressed she became a teacher. And as she progressed I gather the doctrine was gradually being revealed to her. I have since found out what that doctrine is, but it is the doctrine of Mark Pritchard, who alarmingly calls himself Beelzebub, the devil reincarnate, and if that doesn’t start warning bells, I don’t know what would. But supposedly he is going to save these enlightened followers of his from the apocalypse providing they slavishly follow him and never question him.  If they defy him then he will send them to the abyss. Of course, when I found this out I was devastated to think that my daughter was in a group that could hold its members in this terrible, terrible way.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 6: Belzebuub Teachings Involved Secrecy (Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub)</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OFll-GYNJMo?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OFll-GYNJMo?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Another characteristic of The Gnostic Movement that we have noticed since our daughter has been in it is the secrecy that surrounds her life now. Previously her friends were part of our family. We knew them, we knew their parents, we had them over for meals, it was an open household and people came and went. But with this new group of supposed friends in The Gnostic Movement, the more our daughter became involved with this Movement and the more she spent time with this Movement, the more secret everything became.  All calls, phone calls to her from members of this group were taken in private behind closed doors. Whenever she would go out she would take a big bag loaded with documents. She wouldn’t leave them at home; presumably for fear that we might look at them.  The people, who came to collect her on occasions, obviously wanted nothing whatsoever to do with us, we weren’t introduced, it was as if we didn’t exist.  Our daughter some years ago was involved in renovating a property that was supposed to be used for a retreat for the Movement’s members. She went and stayed there quite frequently, we did ask for an address. She refused to give us one. At one stage she decided that she was going to live there permanently. We insisted that she give us an address and asked if we could visit her. We were told no, the property was not for the public. We said &#8220;we are not the public, we are your family&#8221; and she still said no. She now lives overseas; we don’t know whom she lives with. We haven’t spoken to any of the people she lives with, we have asked to speak to these people so that we can form some level of understanding of who they are and something about them, perhaps speak to their family as well. We have asked repeatedly that we be allowed to speak to the Pritchard’s. I have many, many questions I want to ask them. But once again, no, we are not allowed. Our connection with our daughter has become very, very one-sided. She is very interested in her family, she loves her family, she is still very interested in family members and what we are all doing but when I ask her, we ask her, what she is doing we are not told. It is like she is a paper cut-out. She exists but she doesn’t.  She is not any longer the daughter that we once knew. She now has a very different persona in that her life has become very secret and very separate from our family. We love her dearly, we wish her well, we had only hoped that this group was her answer and that it was going to do wonderful things for her and everyone else. From what we can see it is shrouded in secrecy and it is not serving the purpose that it is intended to serve for our daughter.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 7 :Belzebuub teachings use mind control and fear in the Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JUXtGt1YeUk?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JUXtGt1YeUk?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Devastatingly for our family, our daughter is still in The Gnostic Movement.  Our family and all our friends who associate with us believe that it is a very highly organised cult. We believe that she was baited seven years ago by this poster on astral projection. We believe that she was then deliberately processed by the technique of mind-control or brainwashing. It’s a well-known technique. It is used in cults the world-over and throughout history. First you change the behaviour of the person, you change their emotions, you change their thoughts, then you restrict the information and then you control it all by wrapping it in secrecy.  We believe that she has been very, very effectively indoctrinated, that she is now bound by this group, that she is bound by fear and self-doubt. This is apparent that this is the obvious and desired state for a cult member to be in so that they can be manipulated and used. It has been said that no one ever joins a cult, they are recruited, then they are processed and then they are used. And we have no doubt whatsoever that this is what has happened to our beautiful daughter. And this is what is also happening to other people within the group. This will also start to happen to all those unwary people who may fall victim to this group and in particular, victim to Mark Pritchard (Beelzebub), the devil reincarnate, who is ‘divine’ and ‘knows all’. This leader who if followed selfishly by his willing workers, will save them from the apocalypse and will see to their salvation. But if they fail to follow him unquestionably, he will then deem them to the abyss and he describes the abyss in heart-rending, horrible terms.</p>
<p>However, a group of very courageous ex-members who realise that they were processed, that they were under the powerful influence of mind-control, have now spoken out. And increasingly now these ex-members are sharing their experiences. I must say that until I started reading of their experiences and talking to these people in person, nothing made sense. I couldn’t make sense of our daughter’s life. It was crazy. Now I understand. Now the secret of The Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub is out and I want to do everything I can to warn people against joining this group.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 8: Belzebuub teachings:The Letter of Warning against Belzebuub&#8217;s Gnostic Movement Cult</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iutWglDTAf4?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iutWglDTAf4?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Some 6 years when our daughter was becoming more and more involved and we were becoming more and more concerned, I did some research into cults as I believed The Gnostic Movement was and I wrote a letter to a daughter explaining what a cult was and how it worked in the hope that she could objectively look at this and see if she could find any comparisons. The letter goes as such:</p>
<p>“Our darling daughter,</p>
<p>Will you please read the following information and see if any of it sounds familiar in any way. Are you part of:</p>
<ul>
<li>A group that gains control by their members submitting leadership, the leader a prophet a God</li>
<li>A group that has control over dress, activities, finances, time, possessions, relationships, the way you behave, what you say, how you say it and leaves you little time for private reflection</li>
<li>A group that works in groups, where everything is done in groups and where you are expected to show up with everyone else, that discourages critical thinking and rational thought and you must conform to group behaviour where you all nod in agreement and there is no intellectual debate involved</li>
<li>A group that has command over intimate matters that dictate sexual behaviour, that tells you whom to date, whom to marry, when /when not, if/if not to have children and expect you to conform</li>
<li>Holds group trust and confession sessions where these sessions are used to build relationships of trust, this being done through disclosure of secret thoughts, temptations, desires in order to emotionally bind you with the leader and group members.</li>
<li>A group that emotionally isolates you through information control, from friends and family members, one that has an ‘us against them’ attitude</li>
<li>Where the group’s beliefs are absolutely right and where there is no tolerance of other’s beliefs – ‘we are the only ones who hold the truth’</li>
<li>Where the teachers encourage new members that they are guaranteed friendship, thus appealing to the lonely and socially isolated young</li>
<li>Where the group practices rules are often where you were taught what you must not say and need to learn what you can say, where you go over this frequently until you no longer need to think, until you are totally in tune with group ideals and ideas</li>
<li>That offers retreats where you are in an isolated environment physically and mentally and where the indoctrination of the group are reinforced instructively and through bonding</li>
<li>Where knowledge is revelation and where mystical insights are promoted over the objective world</li>
<li>Where critical thinking is discouraged, independent thought can be looked upon as selfish and rational use of intellect as evil</li>
<li>Which has self-pride, where they believe only they hold the truth,&#8230; a very dangerous attitude</li>
<li>That is developed to convey others to group and their belief system</li>
<li>Where once members joined, they’re isolated from external influences by being kept busy with group involvement</li>
<li>A group that is involved with distorted thinking or excessive giving, where certain members keep track of what you promised to give and keep you to your obligation</li>
<li>Where the more you give brings you close to god and the more he will give back in return</li>
<li>A group that attempts to bring in the kingdom through the feeling that they hold the responsibility to change society</li>
<li>Where total commitment is expected and where members must donate, time, labour, property, money etc. in order to build the strength of the beliefs and their group leader</li>
<li>A group that incrementally brainwashes its members until they only identify with the group and break all ties with family and the rest of society</li>
<li>A group where individuality is sacrificed for group conformity, where conformity is the key</li>
<li>A group that promotes mystically altered states where the flesh is considered evil and the spirit is good</li>
<li>Where subjective experiences are accepted more quickly than constructive teaching</li>
<li>Where teaching techniques include relaxation, meditation, guided imagery, visualisation and deep breathing exercises designed to bring a person to an altered and highly suggestible state. Beware as these techniques can cause a psychological imbalance. What starts as relaxation becomes the opposite, promoting anxiety, the effects of which usually catch up later.</li>
</ul>
<p>Does any of this sound familiar or ring warning bells? The above information that relates to cults and the way they operate is as such.  Unfortunately, the resemblance to me and your father to The Gnostic Movement is both striking and terrifying. We had hoped that by gaining employment you would be able to at least partially escape the mind deadening influence this group is having over you. Your family has all witnessed to varying degrees the changes to you and the influence and the hold this group has over you. We are terribly concerned at the state of your psychological well-being. As I write this I feel my heart is about to explode. I am imploring you to try and critically go over this. Please do so as objectively as you can. We realise there are many paths to life but we do not believe this is the right one for you. Why?</p>
<p>Your loving mother”</p>
<p>I must say that now some six years later, this letter was prophetic. It encompasses all that we know about the group, that we have experienced about the group, that I have found out about the group through speaking to many others, families, ex-members. If I were to write this letter again, I would not change one word. This exactly describes The Gnostic Movement and how it operates.  Beware.</p>
<p><strong><em>Part 9: Belzebuub teachings: The horror of what our family saw (Belzebuub&#8217;s Gnostic Movement)</em></strong></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_BC4kL-p_0o?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_BC4kL-p_0o?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>When we last saw our daughter it was in January 2010, she came with very, very short notice (less than a week) and I was away at the time. I arranged for the family to bring her and meet me in a park because I was terrified of what I was going to see and we were due to meet my parents. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. She looked like she had just come from a concentration camp. She was 48kg. My beautiful daughter before she joined this Movement was a slender 60kg. She was vibrant, she was happy, she had full colour. This emaciated young woman I saw looked terrible. She was so terribly thin and waxen with big dark rings around her eyes. I had her taken to the Doctor and medically assessed once again. I had been doing that periodically over these last seven years in desperation trying to find out what debilitating and insidious disease was causing her to deteriorate in this manner. Once again the Doctor found that there was nothing medically wrong. It was due to her lifestyle. It was due to stress. It was due to overwork. It was due to lack of sleep and nutrition. I couldn’t believe and I still didn’t believe that you could live with people and these people who supposedly cared for you and called you their family could allow you to deteriorate to this mental and physical state and do nothing about it. Not even provide health insurance for you in the country where that is critical.</p>
<p>She came with three huge bags. We were terrified to ask how long she was going to stay with us. We didn’t want to say anything that might scare her away. However, we lived in hope that she might stay at least for a while. She was here for less than a month. She told us she was going to stay another month at least, the day before she then told us she was leaving in a few days’ time. We were devastated, utterly heartbroken to think that she was going to leave. I had been trying to build her up. I had been feeding her just trying to put some extra weight on her and she left. She left. We were absolutely heart-broken at the airport. My husband and I could hardly stand up. As we kissed her and said goodbye, ‘take care my darling’, she said ‘there, there, no tears’ and she just left without any feeling being shown towards us whatsoever.</p>
<p>Once again, we were in isolation, totally and utterly heartbroken and desperate. However, the middle of this year, I become aware of ex-members, speaking out against this Movement and I was able to make contact with them and then I was able to find out that no, my daughter didn’t have a disease, that health issues are common in this Gnostic Movement, that chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep deprivation, malnourishment, exhaustion are all part of this. It is all the way they are driven. They are driven to work excessively long hours. They are driven to practice. They are driven to deprive themselves of sleep, all to work for Mark Pritchard/ Belzebuub who promises them salvation or destine them to hell.</p>
<p>I am now dedicated to exposing this group for what it has done to us and for what it has done to our family, for what it has done to our daughter, for what it has done to all these good and decent people who like our daughter, were just seeking a higher meaning to their life, who just wanted to become better people and who were promised by this group that that’s what they would offer them.</p>
<p>We hold responsible Mark and Edith Pritchard; they do know what they do. What they do is deliberate, it is planned and it is deceptive. It is a deliberate technique used by those who know about mind control to brainwash and control mentally and physically the people that they entrap in their cult. I can say without a shred of doubt from all I know and all I have spoken to, that The Gnostic Movement is a harmful cult.</p>
<p>However, in all of this madness, there is one thing that I do agree with and that is that Mark Pritchard, Beelzebub/ Belzebuub as he professes, is indeed the devil reincarnate. I warn anybody who thinks they might get involved with this group to please reassess it. The Gnostic Movement of Belzebuub has done nothing but bring harm to our family, to all those I know of and to all those I have spoken to.</p>

<li>A courageous expose. Thank You so much﻿ for posting these videos. I agree 100% with everything this poor mother describes as I have personally experienced the things she said in my past involvement in Toronto, Canada. Not only that but many of my friends that have left this group also attest to these facts. Unfortunately there are still some friends I had that are still trapped and unable to free themselves thus far.</li>

<p><strong><em>So many have deeply regretted following the “Belzebuub Teachings”. Belzebuub has tried to silence us all but, irrespective of his threats and tactics, we are not frightened and we will not be silenced. </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/dictionary1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1821" title="dictionary1" src="http://www.movementsofgnostics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/dictionary1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I was in TGM of Belzebuub for more than 5 years. I had the &#8216;Belzebuublian&#8217;s gnostic&#8217; mindset extremely cultivated as all those who were (and are) advanced students, teachers and members.</p>
<p>After almost 2 years of struggling to overcome all traumatic and painful effects of Belzebuub Teachings I can now see how dangerous is the corruption of thought through the corruption of language as the famous Orwell&#8217;s quote says:</p>
<blockquote><p>But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.</p></blockquote>
<p>So I tried to compile a small dictionary of terms of the &#8216;language&#8217; the members of Belzebuub organisation are speaking. I was one of them for many years and I know exactly that mindset.</p>
<p>Here you are:</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-1820"></span>attacker:</strong> a person who has a different opinion and dares to express it publicly. an attacker uses lies [see term lie] and he is not discouraged by our slanders or threats or fear of the Abyss. They are obviously instruments of the Black Lodge and that&#8217;s why we do all-day chains in order to protect ourselves from them.</p>
<p><strong>belief:</strong> we can use this word in any way we wish. When we want to protest about our religious rights [see term in dictionary] we can use it with the common usage meaning. When we want to speak in a more Gnostic context, a belief, is something usually bad (a psychological prison actually) unless we are objective. So if our beliefs are based on our objective experiences then it’s ok. And this is the case with Belzebuub and the members of his organization. All the rest have beliefs that are based on their subconscious and that’s why they do not know what they are talking about. We have the responsibility to educate them how to perceive reality objectively by teaching them the Belzebuub Teachings. And if they still do not believe what we believe that means that they are failures and we have to ensure that feel enough fear not to talk against us. Or else we can ensure they feel so sorry they did not succeed&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>ego:</strong> a term used mainly for two purposes. When we are referring to our egos we are very sad we have them and we assure everyone we fight them and not permit them to conquer our psyche. But when we talk or think about the egos of others (and especially of our attackers) this is something we can not tolerate and obviously is an evil thing. Egos is a tool to explain our enemies behavior and attitude but not ours. That way in practice we try to eliminate our enemies egos (by trying to eliminate them) in order to have the time and the appropriate circumstances to eliminate our egos or better we can do both. We can spend our lives talking about egos and fight them although we do not know what an ego is. An ego is something that we can see very easily on others but when we see it inside us we immediately eliminate it. So we can continue the same behavior (let’s say to slander others) but without egos. By talking or making hints (that&#8217;s better) about egos we can cultivate the image of people who know the inner workings of the psyche and that&#8217;s why people will forget that we have them. We can also forget that we have them and actually do nothing except talking about that. That&#8217;s ok as long as we serve Belzebuub and his Foundation.</p>
<p><strong>false:</strong> whatever is not in the Belzebuub Teachings or is out of the context of our beliefs. Something that we do not do (at least we have never done in the past years) but something that unfortunately others do.</p>
<p><strong>freedom of speech:</strong> it is a kind of freedom that only Belzebuub and the members of his organization have. All the rest who dare to speak their opinions [see the term opinion] out of their minds, must be silenced. If they do not then they are already attackers [see term attacker] and persecutors [see term persecutor]. Freedom of speech is our own right. We do not share it with anyone. Everyone has the right to believe what we believe. And everyone has the right to speak as long as they agree with us. We can tolerate a very very slight deviation from our views only for the shake to empower the feeling our members have about freedom of speech. But as soon as this becomes out of the order then we must silence them and explain them that they have the freedom of speech only as long as they speak what we want to be heard.</p>
<p><strong>gnosis: </strong>this is just a word used for advertizing reasons. It means knowledge whitch can only be acquired inside the gulf of Belzebuub Teachings.</p>
<p><strong>lie:</strong> whatever is not in line with Belzebuub&#8217;s beliefs, instructions, opinions, declarations, statements, stories etc.</p>
<p><strong>Master Belzebuub</strong>: a living Christ, a God. We believe in him although we never publicly admit that we have no idea if he is a Master or not. If we had a dream with him then this is enough evidence to believe and we have the responsibility to publicly share [see term share] our dream (although we&#8217;ll use the term lucid dream or experience). No one has the right to see a different dream or have a different experience. For all those who do not have an experience about his Mastery is better to follow his instructions and may be after many years serving him, they might have such a dream. After all that&#8217;s why we demand from our advanced students to work extensive hours for him. Then their subconscious will be full of him and the possibilities to see such a dream are increased.</p>
<p><strong>negativity:</strong> We do not feel negativity and when we do that we immediately eliminate it. But our enemies do not eliminate that and that’s why their opinions [see term opinion] or beliefs [see term belief] still are different from ours. But what is real negativity is when these opposing views are publicly and freely expressed. People should always agree with our beliefs and views. That is the proper thing. So when they opposing us they are victims of their negativity that is directed towards us. This is something we have to fight against. We have to fight against our enemies negativity but without forgetting to say that we fight our negativity as well. That gives the impression that we do fight our negativity and that we act without any negativity against the real negativity of our enemies.</p>
<p><strong>objectivity: </strong>an attribute that is only owned by Belzebuub and the members of his organization.</p>
<p><strong>opinion: </strong>There are two kinds: objective and subjective. People who follow Belzebuub Teachings and of course Belzebuub himself have an objective opinion. All the others and especially those who are attackers [see term attacker] have a subjective opinion wich of course is totally false [see term false]. An objective opinion is almost a truth [see term truth] and that’s why we can express our opinions for the benefit of humanity. A subjective opinion has its roots in the egos [see term ego] that exist in the human psyche of our enemies. Although we have egos as well we try very hard to eliminate them and Belzebuub himself has no egos at all. All the others are full of egos and that’s why they radiate hate towards us. Not to mention that they are instruments of the Black Lodge.</p>
<p><strong>persecution: </strong>whatever action or word goes against our views. You must understand that no one has the right to publicly express their objections to our views. Whoever does that is obviously an attacker [see in the dictionary] and uses obviously lies [see the term in the dictionary].</p>
<p><strong>persecutors: </strong>people who publicly express their opinions [see the term opinion] is a persecutor if these opinions are against our views and our opinions.  Because these opinions or experiences or facts and documents are not inline with our believes or experiences or understanding are obviously lies [see the term lie] and their only purpose is to persecute [see the term persecute] us.</p>
<p><strong>persecute</strong>: a verb used in the context of ‘they persecute us’ only. it is something we can use whenever our attackers [see term attacker] arguments are reasonable and substantiated with evidence that can not be rejected. We use that verb in order to put ourselves in the position of a victim and try to emotionally cultivate the image of an innocent who is falsely accused by ‘bad’ people. This is a stereotype that people are trained to subconsciously link with Jesus and we can take advantage of that.</p>
<p><strong>the path</strong>: something we believe we try to walk for years and years without knowing what it is or even if it exists at all.</p>
<p><strong>truth</strong>: this is a property of Belzebuub Foundation and shared [see share] wordwide only via Belzebuub’s Foundation. Belzebuub and the members of his organization are the only one authorized to speak the truth. All the others must be enlightened and must be ‘educated’. If they cannot tolerate that, they are slowly transformed to an attacker. Better to show them the exit door and be sure they will not talk again about us.</p>
<p><strong>religious rights:</strong> the right that everybody has to believe in Belzebuub.</p>
<p><strong>share:</strong> when we publicly express something that we understood or something that we believe and we are sure is inline with Belzebuub Teachings or with the established ‘Belzebuublian gnostic’ mindset. Whoever does not share is just attacking us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was around the Easter of 2009 that some tough and life changing events would start to roll out in my life. Half a year prior to that Easter of 2009 my life changed completely, seeming to enter a course towards a goal I was very troubled to clear out until that time.</p>
<p>However after that Easter I had experiences of being re-born. I was in the Gnostic Movement back then but I was very tormented by things I experienced and reacted to. But until the end of the Week of Easter experiences produced a lake of serenity. I felt completely reborn. Two years later and after looking back I see that something happens every Easter.</p>
<p>That same Easter (a week before) I went walking up mountain Olympus with some friends. Literally.</p>
<p><span id="more-1812"></span></p>
<p>In fact the whole experience was one of the most difficult things I had done in my life and I had a very good company of few people back then to do it along. I remember at a many points (either up or down) I felt I would stop and die right there but managed to go up and down all the way. After the Easter of 2009 I begun to get involved in tasks of Gnostic Movement. The same time and after that mountain very close friends (who organized that difficult task of going up that magnificent mountain) were expelled from Gnostic Movement. After that I also got involved in international teams of Gnostic Movement seeing things inside out. How it worked, what happened, what was “smelly”, good intentions of various people getting used by Mark and Edith. However this article is not about Mark and Edith… Probably to the surprise of many…</p>
<p>After that Easter I begun to get involved (as said) but at the same time –since I was in the Teachers Course (TC)- I begun to react. My behavior, my whole existence was reacting to what the course of that TC was. I remember back then I told to my “trainer” that all that thing happening and the way things were done, is strange. It seems to alienate people instead of getting them together caring for each other. I have told that in written and verbally. It was very strange to me to see that happening and he said that he had noticed the same. He sent an email to all  TC students mentioning the same thing after that and that we all (him included) need to work to that direction. This was around June 2009.</p>
<p>But, nothing actually happened. Looking back now, I can say that I know why as I have discovered the actual reasons for that thing, I realized that the whole case was driving nowhere or better said, downhill. Nowhere doesn’t exist. I remember I was discussing with friends that people outside the Gnostic Movement seemed more caring and tender than those in it.</p>
<p>However, all that trouble drove me at some point out of the Teachers Course. After that I had even more experiences. In Astral and not only. And after a few months I was out completely of Gnostic Movement. Details are in posts in this blog.</p>
<p>Now, after that slowly we arrive to Easter of 2010. New things occurred then and some major understandings. Decisions were made by me and statements that I will share my experiences and help people to share theirs regarding the Gnostic Movement of Mark Pritchard. That was not easy as I had to go through doubts, esoteric research, experiences, fears, etc, etc. However after some specific understandings and experiences almost all fears were lifted in a way I still cannot understand.</p>
<p>From then until now, I –as well as others- have been accused for many things from ex “friends” from Gnostic Movement, but what was more important and still stands was not that. The most important for me was not to lose the eagerness to find out what spirituality is about, what is the truth through texts and scattered wisdom around the world. What were the advanced and proper methods to achieve states of mind and psyche?</p>
<p>In a few words… where the garbage ends and real knowledge starts. You see, in Gnostic Movement I heard truths written by people who are not alive (Samael, Rabolu) but all these where universal sayings. So, how can someone finds truth among “sayings” , experiences, opinions and garbage camouflage of things of self proclaimed teachers like Mark. People who have illusions and thus dress up sayings and adjust them to their understandings. Who present truth in their way. Have you ever wondered how is this possible? I did. For example to get a parable of Jesus and speak/write the “short/fast” version of it to people…</p>
<p>I wondered what and where is the starting point. Now, followers of Mark Pritchard have said all that time that my (and others) goal was to stop their practice rights, etc, etc. Unfortunately they didn’t search and due to that fact they haven’t seen that it is the continuous search that drove things here…</p>
<p>Many things happened the last year and I was amazed to see how things were revealed in front of the eyes of many of us. In many cases I couldn’t realize how life itself shifted in ways to bring to the surface the things we needed. Of course, there will be followers back there who will also “justify” that from the “dark side”. Well, I can’t do something for these thoughts… They need to work on the thoughts as the mind is what stops them from seeing. It is not foot, hand or nose… It’s the tool that interprets impressions…</p>
<p>What I noticed all that time was that I and many got answers by simply… asking! We asked through prayers, through loud statements, through Astral, through troubled thoughts on what we should do that is right and not wrong and harmful. This was the “fear” of many people here. How to present truth and the same time to help people.</p>
<p>“Funny” isn’t it? To get troubled on how to do such, when it (should be) is the simplest thing in the world? Meaning… just to say it. But it was not that easy. Personally, I had to fight not only mind-stoppers but also my own “defects” and “mind scenarios”….</p>
<p>So, here we are.</p>
<p>Now, at Easter of 2011, and as I continue to state out loud to find more about the esoteric things and purpose in life more things went in motion. More meaningful ones. But now with the knowledge of the past.</p>
<p>Is it easy? Nope. But, there are things revealing themselves due to continuous effort to focus on esoteric research. In other words to find the Truth. Not the truth to like, but The Actual Truth.</p>
<p>In my honest opinion -2 years later- I find that for many nothing meaningful would have happened all that time if they didn’t try to find the truth. Even through many bad psychological phases. After all, texts do not describe this research as an easy one. Why it should be…? And also, nothing will be answered to people who stop asking for the Truth no matter what the Truth is. Well, that is not entirely true… Things in life will happen for all to find the truth. The denial or resistance to research I what causes the problem. When truth is found it brings some pain of resistance along with understandings, but the actual knowledge lifts pain. Which is only the resistance pain and nothing more.</p>
<p>Also, I find that nothing would have happened if all people posting here didn’t try to bring down the compartment walls that are in the mind.</p>
<p>Now, as said, something seems to happen from Easter to Easter. Is it coincidence? I do not know. But for sure one thing I would like to realize is that from Easter to Easter I do not want to be the same of 12 months before. And for sure more useful to people than 12 months before.</p>
