The word on the street is that the intensive is sold out, so I don't think anyone can register at this point.

I'm feeling very confident that the high attendance at this event is not all about a big desire to hear all the newest and grooviest from Lazaris. This is about people wanting information about the issues raised here, and private questions and concerns that aren't. I've already heard from people who are going soley for that reason.

Of course we don't want anyone posting here about plans to disrupt the intensive, although I don't actually know what could be done to prevent it other than cancel the thing entirely. Of course, disruption is in the mind of the participant. Maybe it would be intensely disruptive of the hearts, souls, and minds of attendees to come and go from that event without having concerns addressed and questions answered. There are more rights at stake here than just those asserted by Con:Sin and the mindless ones who are incapable or fearful of hearing anything other than the party line.

We are not advocating any illegal activities here, simply suggesting that it is well within our rights to ask questions and demand answers, even of the well padded Jach Purr-Sell.

If anyone feels the urge to have an eyeball to eyeball with any of the rest of the Gang, I'd sure like to hear about that too. Some of those people have a lot to answer for.

I strongly suspect that there are some "matured egos" out there which would be most gratified to take the opportunity to speak their issues face to face with one or two of those world class abusers. I sure know mine would be. Those lowlifes are protected from direct confrontation only by their own tactics. There is no rule of ethics or law against giving them a bit of Cosmically Foolish Wisdom. They have functioned for years with their lopsided rules about who has the right to speak up and who does not. It's time to level the playing field, and take those little platstic demi-gods off their self-constructed pedestals. I wonder which one of them is even capable of having an eyeball to eyeball conversation with a self-respecting self contained human being who has valid, straightforward, and direct questions to ask. I suggest that it would be a most worthy experiment to find out.

There is no real law against anyone standing up and asking questions other than the laws made by Con:Sin, and they are only as powerful as the willingess everyone to agree to them. It is still a free country, the last time I checked, no matter how hard Con:Sin tries to impose restrictions on our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

I'm sure that anyone who tries to speak up at the intensive will be ultimately silenced, but, just that in itself, and the tactics used to accomplish it will be as revealing as the actual answers to questions.

There are several ways to strategize this opportunity. Certainly Jach is not immune to being approached privately and having these questions or any others posed to him. There will be that silly "Magic Time" during which attendees are invited to ask questions,
and there will be endless hours of seminar time during which no laws would be broken should someone choose to stand up and speak.
Peny herself felt free to do so, why not anyone else?

I am visioning a calm, composed, self-confident delivery of a well reasoned and rational statement of concerns and questions by someone who is awake and aware of their own rights to voice them, and who will not be easily manipulated or controlled to back down.

What harm or damage could come to such a person/s?

This isn't about hurting Con:Sin, it is about not continuing to hurt ourselves by caving into the controls and secrecy imposed by those, including Lazaris, who have set themselves up to function as our spiritual advisors.

There is such a thing as accountability, and I can't think of a better opportunity to ask for it.

Why not give Jach, the Gang, and the Grand Orb the opportunity to exonerate themselves from suspicion? I would think that they, like any healthy caring individual would welcome the opportunity to clear the air.

I just hope the note takers and recorders are poised and ready, so those of us not in attendance can be accurately and comprehensively informed of the outcome.

Lots of people have thanked us for this site, not just me and Ted, but everyone who has invested energy into participating. This is a golden opportunity to return the favor.

Having said all that, back to you Aud, let's face it, you and I would not even try to behave!! Our tactics would be more street theatre, because most of these questions are already resolved for us, and be real, we're compulsive and irreverent mischief makers!

You, me and Jade would have much more fun doing our "wild thing" outside the doors of the seminar in our own artistic and humorous styles.

I always loved John and Yoko, but let's face it, they confused and alienated more people than they illuminated with their creative antics. That doesn't mean that their stars shine any less brightly though! A holiday season does not pass without us hearing the strains of their Christmas Song, their call for responsibility, freedom, and peace.

But, that's another post.

Katie

We are about to enter phase II of the Lazaris investigation. This phase will include such possibilities as articles being published in various publications. In order to proceed with this phase, I need some help.

I hope to get multiple sources of information for any questionable dealings. Here, in no particular order, is who I would like to hear from:

1) Anyone with a tape of a personal consultation where Lazaris is giving health advice or advice about separating from family.
2) Anyone who has archived dumps from the forums that have information of a CS employee or Lazaris giving health advice or advice about separating from family.
2) Anyone with information about the abandonment by Michaell of his daughter.
3) Anyone who has stories of personal information given or overheard by a CS employee that was then mentioned publicly by Lazaris.
4) Anyone who has done business with CS and has information about any transaction that would be illegal or suspicious, such as a large cash transaction or a barter transaction.
5) Anyone with information from a seminar or the forum where it was suggested that people avoid the Cosmicfool site or anything negative said about its promoters.
6) Anyone with knowledge of ex-CS employees even if they are no longer living.
7) Anyone who has knowledge of people who have signed agreements not to disclose information about CS and/or Lazaris.
8) Anyone with any information that Jach has doubts about Lazaris.
9) Anyone with information about how CS may be marking up their crystals or other products by an unusually large percentage.
10) Anyone who has a receipt of a crystal valued over $5,000.

I would also be interested in those who would like to relay specific Lazaris successes.

I promise to hold confidential any information given to me via email or telephone unless that person explicitly gives me permission to use it. Even if a person requires me to hold the information confidential, I would appreciate knowing about it. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the stories that Katie has heard since she is appropriately guarding information she has gained in confidence. I think it is important, for verification reasons, to have a second set of ears hear the same stories.

I have absolutely no axe to grind with Lazaris or anyone at CS. I have never been a member of the forum. I have never had a negative interaction with any CS employee. I am not looking for my money back. My desire is to find out the truth. I intend to fully share such conclusions and the reasons behind them (within the bounds of confidentiality) so that people will have another viewpoint that they may choose to influence their own conclusions.

If there is anyone you know who may have such information and does not frequent this forum, I would appreciate you passing this information to them.

My email address is "DoubleCheckCS@att.net"

You said: They might even be able to report C:S to the Better Business Bureau.

Thanks for the reminder. I plan to file a complaint. I'll post the contents when I do so. I feel that every and all efforts should be employed. If one type of effort alone will not be effective, then perhaps the "synergy" of the efforts will.

Filing a complaint:
BBB Complaints

No info yet on CS:
Concept Synergy BBB
(Then enter Concept in the company name field)

I enjoyed and agree with your last post.

Cheers, Craig

Questioning
Lazaris?
So are we.

I thought this would be a good place to restate what I wrote on another thread.

A very good way to get Con:Sin on the cult-awareness map is to submit your experiences for inclusion in Steve Hassan's list of suspected cults.

It's also a really good exercise for those who are pondering this question. The questionaire follows the BITE method of identifying a cult or destructive group so you will be led through questions which will make you think about how Con:Sin functions to control Behavior, Information, Thoughts, and Emotions.

I surprised myself when I filled this out about a year ago at all the ways I suddenly realized that Con:Sin fit that mold.

Maybe it would be a good idea to post the questionaire here and we could all add our thoughts to it, and then submit the finished product to Steve.

Any interest?
