For those not familiar with the Lazaris material on co-dependency, getting only slightly hip to what Lazaris talks about on those tapes will reveal this latest manipulation on the part of Pursel and company as an invitation to a codependent dance of silence, obedience and shame.
A blatantly self-serving, self protective move. Maybe their adrenal glands are overworked. Pumping without mercy at the very real threat of an honest confrontation.
But that’s them, we know them. Enough said perhaps.
But the sycophants defending their object of adoration in the face of such blatant betrayal?
Zealotry is an unforgiving master on the soul and the body.
Yet one still has to wonder how it is lost on the gnashing throng of objector/protectors that Jach Pursel’s latest missive to them is a not so thinly veiled invitation embrace him in a codependency of silence, shame and obedience.
Jach opines:
quote:
Many of you received a spam email that was sent anonymously. A
few of you wrote an email to me or to the office expressing
your outrage and disgust as well as your anger that someone
would send such an email"
Here he begins by instructing the faithful of the correct response to his duplicity being revealed.
Outrage.
Not at him, of course, at the messenger.
Lazaris points out that one of the defining characteristics of a codependent relationship is the enforcement of oppressive rules regarding what can and cannot be discussed and how.
Lazaris also points out that in a codependent relationship there are many topics that are not allowed to be brought up.
CS must have been caught off guard by the intensity of anger, not to mention the probably unprecedented circumstance of having a significant number of clients mustering the temerity to question the facts surrounding Peny’s sad death, her husband’s subsequent suicide.
In their arrogance and perhaps their grief, they probably convinced themselves that they could handle this hemorrhaging in the manner that they usually employed, silence and selected spin.
Invoking the ever-popular “privacy” clause, they manage to offer those conditioned in fear to stop the natural healthy questioning process by feeding them a smug self righteous response to any raised eyebrow.
They are given the gift of respecting Concept Synergy’s “privacy” at the expense of their own legitimate questions and concerns.
They are also given tacit support to attack those who decide to be loyal to themselves and not a business they have no profit from.
DIVERT the legitimate anger felt for Jach Pursel and Concept Synergy to a target that is disposable.
I will say it again; divert the legitimately felt anger at a disposable target. Ted and Katie were considered disposable targets, many others also disposable targets.
People with friends and families and and feelings as important as any other human beings.
Raged on and disposed of like spent Kleenex.
Can anyone really believe that all of the malice and rage that was directed mercilessly at Ted and Katie in the J&L forum and subsequently heaped on them privately BEFORE they every put up this website had much if anything to do with them??? They were strong enough to bounce back. Can that be said about everyone CS has similarly done?
Can anyone argue that with any genuineness?
I think it is plain the unfelt/unexpressed rage and anger that the core CS gang and organization felt toward Penny and Jack coupled with the oppressive psychic burden of having to daily, twist P&J’s toxic, shaming dance of [ Jach's] passive and [Peny's] aggressive abuse into acts of love and kindness, made them a hornets nest of misplaced rage and aggression.
So they do what others in classic codependent relationships do. They alternately mimic the abuser and search, with laser focus for a target to express the rage and resentment they are not permitted to feel and discuss. All the while decrying how much they hate fighting [as Peny did both privately and a few times in the forum].
They may hate it but the dynamic of the forum demands it for the mythology built around Peny and Jach and Michaell to stay in place and that is more important than any one person, it would seem, to that organization.
The individual is disposable, the truth is irrelevant.

Those of you who wrote expressed
your love and support and that you were handling your process and were “letting this go” and were undaunted by it"
Support for what?
for the painfully obvious attempt to distort the facts and manufacture a myth that was exposed as a lie by the mystical order of the Orlando police department?
“undaunted”? Undaunted by what? an unsigned email? Or the truth? Which is more problematic for you and your business?
What an interesting word to use “undaunted” sounds so noble, so persevering. But undauntedness in embracing a lie in the face of the truth is far, far from noble.
“Letting this go” : what are they letting go of ? brain? dignity?
Not so nice Jach.
An “undaunted” Jach perisits:
quote:
Also, I do not want to discuss that email in the Forum. I do
not want to dignify it with open discussion here. I do not
want to give the anonymous sender audience within this Room. I
ask that you not discuss the content of that email in the Room
either, for the same reasons. Thank you.
Because you don’t want to discuss it, it wont be discussed.??
Who are you anyway and on what authority do you speak?.
And by the way, why are you thanking people for something they have no choice in?
Truth is, Jach won’t ALLOW this discussion. Posts attempting to do so were cancelled. So why is he thanking people for following orders?
Jach writes:
quote:
To each of you, I apologize for allowing the safety of this
Room to be compromised"
The “safety” of Jach’s room is most certainly an issue, not as he defines it but as it functions nobody is safe there.
In order to have personal safety one must be willing and free to think and feel. In that oppressive, toxic, oxegyn deprived purple tent no such "unsafe" activity is allowed.
A final word of caution to those tempted to dip in Jach’s codependent waltz:
Be advised, there will be no reward for your relinquishment of your will, your imagination, your thoughts and feelings at that altar of self interest and commerce known as Concept Synergy.
They do not respect your obedience, they merely demand it.
You will not be thanked and you will not be vindicated.
Question honestly.
Privacy and self-protectiveness are not the same thing, not by a long shot.
Your interests and Concept Synergy's interests are not one in the same.
And if Peny’s death and Michaell’s suicide were completely private affairs then why did Jach and Lazaris address them at all?
The circumstances and truth of these people’s deaths as well as how they lived can be discussed frankly and with respect for everyone involved.
Concept Synergy is a business, don’t forget that.
In closing, I would just like to say that metaphysics is real and and beautiful and enduring.
Metaphysics is certainly not owned and clearly not well understood by Concept Synergy.
One demand, I think, metaphysics makes on those who want the life is that you must be an individual.
In short, I just don’t think you can be a follower and create your own reality.
Think about that one.. and then make your choice.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
