Aha. As soon as I see an Anglo name associated with an Eastern religion, I immediately conclude the Anglo is a grifter. About 90% of the time (using statistics pulled straight from my bunghole), it’s true. There are equivalent groups among Buddhists, as well.

“Science of Identity Foundation” sounds like some kind of Deepak Chopra-style woo-woo. too.

I’ll read that New Yorker piece later. Time for work here.

In my experience, there are plenty of grifters irrespective of national origin. Also serious practitioners. I keep my waries on at all times.
