Would I recommend Lifewave?
The Lifewave I was a member of is no more. I have no idea what it's current form is like. I would certainly recommend the meditation, while also realising that it may not suit everyone. It works for me.
Do I think that Lifewave is good?
I suppose the same answer as above. I gained what I wanted from Lifewave, but I also recognise that many people did not. The manner of teaching could certainly have been improved. Most members had both positive and negative experiences in Lifewave. Many of the negative experiences could easily have been avoided, but that would have required JY to be a different personality. In the end, it was what it was.
Has anyone been victimised by Lifewave?
Some members may feel that they were victimised by it all, but I can only speak for myself in saying that I do not consider myself a victim. Lifewave was a hierarchical structure with JY at the top. The problems experienced by most members did not always come directly from JY. Often they came from those above us in the hierarchy, trying to interpret JY's requirements through the limitations of their own personalities. We could argue that JY was responsible for all these problems either directly or indirectly, but there were many people suddenly thrust into teaching roles who were unsuited to being teachers.
This applies to many groups. For example, with Rajneesh (Osho), many decisions were made by those around Rajneesh such as Ma Anand Sheela which to an outsider seem outrageous. Who is ultimately responsible for such decisions?
I would agree that there are more reasonable alternatives which are safer, but then again, the pressure on us in Lifewave certainly brought stuff to the surface.
Low battery warning - better send this.
Peace.
