    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    Whoa there! So you're saying other claims have been made against him outside of these web forums? Do tell! Going to court brings it all out into the open - the business practices, how money and 'donations' are handled, income from sales of materials, the tax exempt status, plagiarism, gifts...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    I know a few chelas, and in fact I DID 'sneak a pic'. The chela who owns that painting also had some other cheesy renditions of Gary displayed, however they recently moved and I took a walk around the new place in search of the cheesy Gary pics, and didn't see any prominently displayed as...

    MasterPath and Gary Olsen Ironically, there's a link to a video of the lead pinhead of Eckankar :areyoucra

    "Gary, we're tired and our work is done. You go ahead and take it from here." :facepalm:

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    That's funny - the Heaven's Gate cult wore the purple Nikes and purple hoods when the Hale-Bopp comet came by and they all followed Do (D'oh!) to the afterlife...creepy. Gary looks more aged in that pic, for sure the tanning booth isn't helping his skin.

    Just a few more posts and I will bring my very special picture of a picture here for everybody to view again...:D

    Violet, what site hosts that Eckankar commentary? Somebody there is pointing a finger directly at Olsen...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    It'd be great to see some screenshots of the MP 'chela website' for a better look at what goes on...I'm hopeful that some of the others will find this site and share (within what is legal, of course). I'm hoping for an advertised 'seeker meeting' within an hour or so drive from where I live, so...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    It all makes sense from an organizational structure...after all Gary was in the military at one point, was he not? Just another variation on the ol' pyramid scheme, really.

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    I see a lot of Rumi books lying around that 'they' read...I guess Sufi poetry is encouraged (??) Olsen only needs the living bodies now because they produce money...:facepalm: The chelas with open minds will still be looking at these threads...curiosity is a powerful thing!

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    "It has been confirmed (by SoulPatriot on the CD forum) that the Second Initiation incorporates a commitment to Gary, for however many lifetimes it will take, to reach god-realization." And therein lies the money train @ $40/month per member...tax-free! Slick little sales plan he's got...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    Tell that to this person, who posted over on the CityData thread: "Had I known who and what "Master Path" was I would have never become involved with one if "its" followers as I did. We met,.... we fell in love,... and now the Master Path principles define her every thought, reason and...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    The CD thread has some interesting new content that more or less confirms the whole MP thing is a fraud...sounds like the founder and his wife have some other business entities set up in order to hide assets and limit tax liability or something....so it really would appear to be a for-profit...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    From the Urban Dictionary: "A US-based cult that purports to be a vehicle of the teachings of light and sound, a path which will lead to spiritual enlightenment. The group suppresses free dissemination of teachings or writings, one must pay the group in order to access this information. Master...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    I'd hazard to guess this is due to some feeling of guilt/obligation to their 'Master' and all the money they've spent in the form of monthly dues, pictures, regional 'seminars', tapes, CDs, etc. Ex-members speak of threats and oppression when you consider departing 'the Path'...and there are...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    ZenZero, pay particular attention to the posts by 'remembering you' and 'end of faith' on that CD thread. It's quite telling, and confirms to me that Olsen is a charlatan. Perhaps some of the content he bases his 'teachings' on has merit in the greater realm of Light and Sound concepts, but he...

    Eckankar

    yeah, the Hu...the 'love song to God'... Olsen's minions gather and chant the same thing at the MP satsangs...probably while he hides behind the scenes counting his money...

    Eckankar

    check out MasterPath & Gary Olsen.... he left Eck and formed MP...turns out MP is just an Eck spinoff....equally bogus and just a money making scam for the people at the top. They're bastardized versions of Sant Mat...among many where people 'pay to play' with false gurus. Just follow the...

    Master Path - Gary Olsen

    Don't fall for this scam...Gary Olsen is a liar and a plagiarist. MasterPath is simply his little money making venture. He's a self-proclaimed 'living Master' with zero credibility and lifts his rambling material from Eckankar and the time he spent there back in the day, before starting his...
