[Stirring Up the Hornets Nest]

I plucked up the courage and put my balls on the line,so to speak, by daring to speak out.

I wrote an article (click here) about an USA based spiritual teaching group, called the Crimson Circle (CC). I had been listening to their free monthly discourses now for over a year, but I was becoming uncomfortable about it. It is the same group with whom I did the DreamWalking workshop.

According to the CC they have some 120 000 people following them...and I went ahead and called them fake, and sent my article to as many people as I could (a mere 140).

Since then it was posted on the USA CC message forum (click here) and at the time of writing more than 185 replies have been posted and the thread has been visited some 9900 times. At the very least the article is being read!

Well it's been an interesting experience to speak out against such a popular group. I knew it would stir up a reaction and I would be criticized, and I wasn't disappointed :-)

Initially all the publicly posted messages were attacks or criticisms on me, blaming me for creating fear, or having issues with money etc. In general people who had doubts about the CC, or feel something is wrong or have already stopped listening to the CC have emailed me personally. Later on in time, more people started to break the silence and speak their own truth publicly.

It has been and is an interesting observation about human behavior, including my own. What interested me the most was the range of emotions. Some people felt they had to defend the CC, others got very angry or scared. I suspect some people were only defending their own beliefs, hoping what I wrote wasn't true. For if they were to have a real look at their own belief, what might they find...

I use to think it didn't matter what others thought of me. I still believe this in essence, but I did feel the pressure and the heaviness of the negative thoughtforms, energized with their emotions, which were directed at me. I begin to appreciate how we create energy with thoughtforms and especially how people in a group can energize it. An interesting lesson.

It took some courage and self-awareness not to take things personally, especially from people who I know are intelligent and intuitive. On the plus side I have recieved personal emails from people who said that my article helped them. After all, that was my true intention.

Most of the people who use to come to my workshops were connected to the CC. Did I bite the hand that feeds me..? :-) Lets see when I start my workshops again!
