Yeah you are right, so much of this stuff was out there in the 30s and earlier. I found some metaphysical books from the 20's in a used bookstore and the messages are pretty consistently the same.

They may not be very original but Jach and Peny sure have the balls to jack the price way through the roof and make people feel privledged for the favor.

LOL

Peace,

I've told this story a few times, and it seems to be popular, so I'll repeat it here.
It is one of my metaphors for JachZaris.

I don't remember exactly where I saw this, I think it was a cartoon. I think the imagery has been widely used as comedy.

We see two men crawling through the desert, they are sunburned and parched, their eyes are bulging out, and they look close to death. All they can dream of is a glass of cold clear water.

As they crawl along they are plagued by the visions of oases which always turn out to be mirages. They are losing hope.

Just as they are gasping their last breaths, they see ahead a brightly decorated tent in which stands a finely and colorfully dressed man. Next to the tent is a big sign which says WATER. The parched men are sure this is just another mirage, but as they crawl closer the begin to realize that finally their hopes have been fulfilled. This is for real.

The jolly friendly man greets them and bargains with them for the last of their belongings. They give him the contents of their pockets, (maybe they had treasure in their, I forget), but what they have,they give for a life saving glass of water.

As they drink they are so relieved and grateful to this happy go lucky stranger, to them he is the most beautiful man on earth, and the price he charged for the water was irrelevant. Such was their need and desire for the cool refreshment he provided in their moment of dire need.

Now the camera pans back, and we see the bigger picture. The big beautifully decorated brightly colored tent is obscuring from view a true oasis where this cool clear water flows abundantly, free and available to all.

Ha Ha. Remind you of anything?

Love,

What fascinates me is the way in which Jach and Peny have dropped clues to their corrupt nature all over the place, almost without discrimination.... for years.

Ya know how you can track animals by the trail of shit they leave behind?

Jach and Peny have witlessly left spore after stinking spore in their path, spelling it out very clearly for anyone willing to stomach the stench long enough to look.

Maybe they have "made maps" after all...

Lazaris used to emphasize in the earlier material that "The steps of getting somewhere are the qualities of being there"

Not for years mind you, has Lazaris put this concept forth.. any guesses as to why?

Certainly has nothing to do with Lazaris not wishing to repeat himself, we know Lazaris does NOT shy away from doing that.

Maybe the concept creates just too tight a screen for PenyAch's spiritual blubber to pass through.

Maybe it would weaken their "powerbase" to have a room full of people come to the realization that the powerlesness and confusion they are now feeling from having been manipulated and abused by Concept Synergy are just indications of more of the same to come.

I notice that in the last few years a strong and concerted effort on CS's part to encourage us to all but forget the past.

Perhaps they left too many stinking piles of manure back there in the past and would much prefer people didn't walk down that road and step in them.

One time on the forum there was a discussion about the role of the past in reality creation and I wrote something that was slightly off the party line about "The past being over".

Peny and Jach wrote me fast and furious [privately and in the forum] as to how I was missing something important and thus implying I was risking my evolution.

Honestly at the time I saw their point and revised mine.

Peny wrote me later [email] that Jach spent "alot of time thinking about how to address this with you"... that struck me as very strange back then. Why would Jach care so much? We weren't close friends or anything.

In retrospect, I suspect it was an indication of a strategic change they had been trying to to make in the material for years.

The goal? to manipulate people away from using the past to evaluate their behavior.

I don't think they want people saying to themselves something like:

"hmmm I have been working with the Lazaris material for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 YEARS and I feel frustrated, powerless, guilty and weak...since the steps of getting somewhere are the qualities of being there I better get out of this ..."

Anyone who believes Jach and Peny would risk their cashflow over an idea would be well advised to wake up.

Personally, I don't think Peny really understands most of what Lazaris talks about so I don't believe it was governed by any strong desire to protect the integrity of Lazaris' ideas.

I think it was an example of PenyAch's fulesome greed subtley tuning the material for future profit.

Too funny, that was the one tape I never bought the one about feeling more of L's love..so I appreciate your glimpse into the darkness that is that tape.

when he arrived in China it was depressing, after a few days went to the great wall, and lo and behold.... heard the "L remembers Lemuria" music, it turns out it was coming from a little "country herbalist" poor guy's shack who would sell ginseng to the tourists.

The operative word being SELLING.

Who but CS could bring the free enterprise capitalist spirit to the Chinese new age in as tacky a way possible?

Dear Audrey,

I was very sensitive to this in the early years. I wonder what happened? I remember Lazaris saying one time about hoping we would be able to give ourselves the gift of a certain workshop, and I remember putting it on myself as whether I could create good enough instead of thinking of it as a plug. I didn't think to maybe say "how about YOU giving it to me as a gift if it's so damn important to my growth?"

I was trying to calculate out the hourly rate of a Lazaris channel. Let's see....for an evening it's $45 x say 400 people on average for 3 hours, isn't that $18,000/3 or $6,000 per hour? For weekends, is it $385? That would be $154,000/11 hours channeling for $14,000/hour. And usually the meeting room is thrown in for free if you can get enough people staying in the hotel (hence the "block room" rate). And this doesn't include the tapes and new age knick knacks and crystals sold by people volunteering their time. Wow. What an elegant business. Check my figures, though. Does anyone know where I can get a job like this? Especially if Jach does indeed go to sleep. Wow. Kind of flies in the face of all that talk of being of such service to us all. I'd love that kind of work.

So, anyone want to help figure up how much C:S has made over the years from all of us?

Sorry. Guess I'm questioning EVERYTHING right now, so I seem a little cynical. I'm actually turning over everything and examining it very closely so that I continue with the positive life I'd have so far.
