Lazaris: Friend or Fraud?

"Lazaris" Unraveled

After all this we still tried to reconcile Peny's behavior with the idea that Lazaris speaks so highly of her. And that she supposedly has an inside track to Lazaris, but does not behave in a way that suggests that she understands or agrees with the Lazaris teachings. Finally, we started to seriously contemplate the sacrilegious notion that Jach may be faking the whole thing. We started to hear stories about the shenanigans of the employees of Concept: Synergy. We started to re-visit the inconsistencies that we had denied through the years. We started to research the characteristics of cults.

Our conclusion is that Jach is faking it. He (and Peny, Micheall North, the Orlando Gang?) has evidently studied Jungian psychology, Hinduism, Nikolai Tesla, Edgar Cayce, Silva Mind Control. Searches of newsgroup posts by the Gang yields evidence of such research over the years. He put it all together and came up with a silly accent and a lisp. "Lazaris", to our knowledge, has never spoken in a language other than English, even at the Millennium Celebration, where there were people from around the world. How is that explained? Is it somehow possible that the "multidimensional being" is aware of everything else, but not how to speak different languages?

They put out a tape each year which suggests the "energies" of the following year, which include some predictions. They have never, to our knowledge, predicted any major events, such as earthquakes or political uprisings. Rather, they suggest that there may be a significant earthquake in California or Japan or that there may be some political violence in the Middle East. And the sun will come up tomorrow, as well. Oh, now they put out four tapes about the coming year - this way they can get more money out of people who would be lost without Lazaris' insight into the energies of each year. Built-in obsolesence - you can't re-use last year's tape.

Also, over the years the information becomes more and more repetitive of the truly usable techniques, but those are available elsewhere. The rest has become nothing more than a lot of fluff and science fiction. Who the hell cares about Orion anyway, except those who were terrified into worrying about the Orions coming back and catching us unprepared by the Lazaris techniques? The whole decade of the nineies was devoted to the terror that we wouldn't make it and the whole earth would blow up unless we learned the techniques and did the work. (mo money mo money) The legend of King Arthur is just that, and the historical significance of those times is available to anyone who cares to research and think about it. Atlantis and Lemuria are irrelevant fictions, and the events took place in the past where we are no longer supposed to invest, since as Magicians we are creating our present in the future. Mills Shmills.

The only thing that does matter is the truth, the truth that we are spiritual beings and that we are loved. How many seminars, tapes, crystals, and videos to we need to buy before we get it? As long as Jach and Peny keep spending our money, It seems we will never get it good enough until Jach keels over, and then what? Miracle of miracles, we will have arrived? That seems doubtful, but what does seem credible is that as long as there is a Concept/Synergy there will be a need to keep spending money to find our ultimate truths.

We have reason to believe that C/S routinely employs the assistance of high powered law firms to protect against any statements of criticism or doubt. We know from personal experience that they are not above the use of manipulation, threats, and punishments in their attempts to control and silence people. This could explain the complete disappearance of all ex-employees, and the complete lack of information of a critical or negative nature about Lazaris or C/S. What are they so afraid of? Of course, this is all done "out of self-respect, or respect for Lazaris" but confident, honest, magical people don't need to prove anything to anyone. What ever happened to reality creation anyway?

We were censored in the forum at the very first tiniest indication that the expression of doubts was forthcoming. We have received several emails from Jach in which he limits our access to Lazaris and Lazaris materials by placing restrictions on how we may make purchases, this of course before he knew that we would rather chew nails than listen to one more second of that phony channeling voice of his. By what right does Jach place limitations on people's access to Lazaris, if Lazaris is who they claim to be? Do Jach and Peny get to determine who can hear the Lazaris material, and how? When did the Great English Speaking Entity ever indicate any such thing?

Several years ago we were told of a couple in Marin county who were selling their Lazaris materials. It was obvious that they had been sincere and loyal followers for many years, as they had every tape to date, and many other expensive items purchased from C/S over the years. They declined to discuss their reasons for selling, stating only that they wished to be completely rid of anything which reminded them of Lazaris. It is now hard for us to forget about that, now that we are in the same boat. What happened to these people, and why wouldn't they talk?

We have many friends in the Marin area, and we have been told that finding people who have issues with Jach, and especially with Peny will not be difficult. We have already found a few, but not surprisingly, none yet who are willing to allow their names or stories to be told. It is said that the Marin and San Francisco area abounds with angry, disenfranchised ex-friends of Lazaris. We have also been in communication with a few more via the internet, but we never discount the possibility in speaking to someone who contacts us here that they are not from C/S, so all anonymous internet communications are considered suspect.

This is the nature of cults, they generate self-doubt, fear and paranoia. C/S is a cult, in our opinion, and the Forum is proof of that, since it follows the pattern and definition of one as defined by those whose work it is to counsel and treat ex-cult members. Although most Friends of Lazaris have little involvement with the organization, we have found that most who do have at least one experience to recount which is clearly indicative of cult techniques and behaviors.

For those of you reading here who are forum members, we strongly recommend that you do an internet search for cults, and the definition of cults. The intense shock, anger, fear, outrage,disbelief, judgment, or pain this site may have evoked in you, the reader, is another indication. Think about it. If you are feeling any of that, why? Why not just discount us as "two assholes" and leave us with thoughts of sorrow and compassion? Why the intense reaction? Why the three months of Forum Storm, three months of judgments, mischaracterizations, character assassination, which did not end until there was no one left who had the guts or gumption to raise a question or express even the tiniest word of concern or care for us? Why all the unanswered questions, the carefully overlooked facts about Jach and Peny's past? The strangely silent ex-friends? All this, because Katie asked Peny to stick to the facts. We see now why that request posed such an intense threat to Peny. No entity such as Lazaris is claimed to be would give one whit what we say or believe about them. Nor should anyone else who is secure in their own version of themselves.

Besides the research and thinking both of us have maintained our spiritual connection, and done much much inner work. We have not suffered from any loss of Lazaris, but on the contrary feel a greater sense of confidence in ourselves and our abilities. We are no longer on the endless treadmill, "one more technique, one more seminar, just a little more. We're good enough, but not good enough that we don't need that new technique, that new piece of information..puff puff". Life is good without channeled entities.

There is more to this story, but due to legal considerations, and concern for the privacy and safety of others it is not offered here. Most doubters and ex-friends we have encountered are TERRIFIED of being identified. Why or how could a spiritually oriented group inspire such cold fear? We encourage you to use this information to continue your own process of questioning and research. We have only scratched the surface here. If you have information or thoughts you would like to share publicly, we will be glad to publish them here as long as they are written within the limits of the law.
