Carol - clarification on the Ojai Seminar

I have read the posts with sadness. And as much as I feel there need

not be any justification on chrism or my part I will revamp costs to

you.

However before I present the " facts " I wish to make a statement

about chrism. I have spent most of the last 6 months with chrism. A

good seven weeks of that time we spent on the road together. I feel

that I know him better than most and can attest to the fact that he

is the real article. As for faults- his greatest fault in my eyes is

that he is " too generous " If he has a dime he gives it away. He is

not interested in material things other than to promote the K

program. He has been directed/guided to offer his services to any

and all K interested or activated folks. He is not allowed nor is he

interested in any personal gain for this service. I know how the man

lives- I would give chrism anything out of respect and love for his

person and the service he offers. He is my guide/mentor - I am his

student.

 

So how did the Ojai seminar come to be- Steve F and I both felt that

it was time for chrism to offer a meeting mainly for his community

members and for any others that were interested. Other seminars were

offered as a weekend meeting but both Steve and I and many of the

group members thought a gathering over night would be fun and more

conducive to the K experience. Steve and I had to insist on the

charge of $595.00- chrism felt it was too much.

 

Steve found the site- chrism and I agreed on it - I handled all the

finances, made the plans, helped in any way I could. I put up the

majority of the money out of my pocket, chrism and Steve paid for

some of it.

We had to pay for 16 places at the site (3990) although we only had 9

paid registrations. The cancellations came too late to cancel the

event so we were in the hole from the beginning. You see Carol, -

when running a seminar one does not charge the presenter or the ones

who pay the bills. Other costs included: ads nearly 3000.00/

materials including binders/paper/ink/bindis/gift for participants-

(est. $250 /hotel( 4 nights for chrism and I-520)/gas for two cars

driving from santa Rosa to the site (??)- over 8 1/2 hours one

way/food for the seminar(600.00) and food for us the 4 days at the

hotel(??)

 

So figure out how much money we made- I have not seen any profits

from this gathering. Neither chrism, Steve nor I made any money.

And yes it would have been nice to have enough donations so anyone

who wanted to come could come.

 

However- I gave all I could give and then some. And I would do it all

again. For you see, Carol, I believe that what chrism offers is a

true gift- he does not ask for any payment other than the seminars

and for your info we are looking into offering items to help defray

the costs of the program.

 

I am a firm believer that one needs to pay for services rendered.

chrism does not think this way - he is a true giver in the Kundalini

service mode. I, on the other hand ,see this program as a business -

as all no profits need to be. Some things will be given freely and

others there will be a charge. I have committed my self to chrism

and his K program. I will continue to support his efforts in any

manner I can - freely, no strings attached, no expectations from

chrism, no expectations from this group- I admire and wish to emulate

my guide/teacher. He is not perfect by any means nor am I.

Yet, I know in my heart that he is a genuine, giving, loving man. He

would do anything for anyone. He is a true example of a K enlightened

being.

 

And I personally do not have any problems with anyone sending chrism

money or gifts. I give to strangers and family and friends all the

time even when I have no business giving. As the K becomes stronger

in me I find that I am letting go of " things " detaching myself

from " things " . There is no real meaning in money or things except to

help others. chrism lives this daily- and as corny as it sounds I

want to be like him- I want to live without fear. I want to give all

I can to help others. Many in this group think and do the same. it

is the sign of a true K awakened being.

 

chrism promotes his program from a platform of " love and service " He

lives this platform.

 

I wish to thank you for allowing me to present this info.

I wish to lodge a complaint. I'd love for to come to Texas so

he can bilk me out of $600 for a weekend of good friends and

Kundalini. I haven't had the chance to throw away good money on this

group, and I really have to say I'm disappointed. He has spent hours

on the phone with my wife and I counseling us on entities, again

gratis, and I never once felt like he was pressuring me to join a cult

or even believe any thing in particular. How am I going to feel like

an underdog without a new religion of the moment in my life? It's

just not fair.

 

The roses smell pretty fine here in big d.

Hi Peter, I think Texas would be a great place to have another

seminar. I would not mind one bit being bilked out of another $600.

Hehe! The $1,500 I spent going to the Ojai seminar was worth every

penny and some. If I had to I would sell possessions for the chance

to attend again. LOL! Every moment I spent with was a

treasure, no amount of money could buy.

I haven't had the chance yet, but I think it would be a fine thing

indeed! It would be wonderful to meet you and any other K friends

here in the lone star state!

 

Are you listening Chrism?!?!

I couldn't of said it better myself. You sound like a bitter person Carol, that

makes me sad. I can only pray you find peace and love.

We're grown-ups here and we can judge for ourselves.

Chrism is a friend who I trust and who will always be considered my friend.
