The 17 Red Flags of Spiritual Teachers
Red Flag #1 - They demonize mainstream science while relying on it to wow their audience. They cherry-pick science to fit their story about invisible people (dualism).
Red Flag #2 - They present advanced scientific subjects to their secular audience to overwhelm and astonish them with the knowledge to gain their loyalty and trust. The teachers know that spiritual people are feeling-based and not privy to critical thinking, so they take advantage of their ignorance.
Red Flag #3 - They claim Quantum Physics proves that humans are creating the physical reality with their thoughts. This is categorically false. The inner world of human beings affects the natural world through their perceptions, but it requires actions to influence it. Shifting perceptions within will always initiate new ways of perceiving the objective world.
Red Flag #4 - They sell fake pseudo-scientific products such as "Nano Keys" and "Holotropic Energy Beamers" to their audience with detailed scientific jargon about photons and quantum mechanics that mean NOTHING. They are theoretical word salads of nonsense.
Red Flag #5 - They mislead or outright LIE about their education claiming to know more about subjects such as Quantum Mechanics than real qualified peer-reviewed scientists.
Red Flag #6 - They promote the idea that the scientific community at large is conspiring together and keeping massive secrets from the public at large. These secrets always involve the invisible, you know, stuff that cannot be proven, the stuff of storytelling?
Red Flag #7 - They teach that the physical universe is an illusion created by the mind of humans. This is repackaged dualism. The physical reality in which THEY collect money from their audience is an illusion and "other realms" are the REAL underlying reality.
Red Flag #8 - They mix psychology, pseudoscience, and new-age fairy tales such as Atlantis and Lemuria (which have already been debunked) into redundant word salads and sell them to the public as divine knowledge from invisible people or "extraterrestrials".
Red Flag #9 - They claim to be channeling aliens, extraterrestrials, dead relatives, famous people, basically, any type of invisible person or entity that will SELL or hook their audience. If it's invisible, it's intriguing, because humans do not trust each other or their leaders, so, invisible people such as Santa clause are more trustworthy — this is how bad it is. What this boils down to are our childhoods and our parents. The further back in history you go the worse the child abuse gets. Religion and spirituality are the results of shame and distrust developed in childhood.
Red Flag #10 - They claim to present knowledge from extraterrestrials or other dimensions but never produce one bit of information that could not be imagined by a human primate or our sciences have not already figured out. Not one psychic channeler has ever produced one revelation that gave the scientific community breakthroughs in physics, evolution, neuroscience, etc., that proved an advanced non-human intelligence.
Red Flag #11 - They present scientific theories as facts rather than honestly telling their audience that scientists don’t really know. Theories such as string theory, the holographic universe, parallel universes, and the many-worlds theory, are all are educated speculations about the nature of the universe. THEY ARE NOT FACTS NOR DO THEY PROVE THAT EDGAR CAYCE WAS RIGHT ABOUT ATLANTIS AND INVISIBLE ALIENS CALLED THE ARCTURIANS.
Red Flag #12 - They present pseudoscience to their audience from rogue non-accredited researchers who make grandiose claims about reality. They totally disregard the necessity of peer-reviewed research and real qualified scientist.
Red Flag #13 - They disregard and discredit the natural world (evidence) as a source for reality. They point to their OWN imagination as all the proof their audience needs. In other words, they makeup stories and manipulate gullible people to believe in their phony story RATHER THAN telling it straight, such as, "this is my speculation and I have no evidence for it".
Red Flag #14 - They stack lies, half-truths, and misconceptions about human beings in the natural world to support their faith-based belief in the invisible. Rather than define the human imagination through archetypes, and the spirit as the wind and the psycho-emotional energy/kundalini, they persist in promoting dualism, that is, the belief in the soul as separate from the body and the existence of dead people in the spirit world.
Red Flag #15 - They sell information products at exorbitant prices such as channeled audio recordings, recorded sessions where they contact your so-called dead loved ones, seminars where they babble word salads of channeled psychology, pseudoscience, and regurgitated new age jargon.
Red Flag #16 - They use hypnosis to control their audience by telling them what reality IS. An example would be when the channeler states their fantasy as fact such as "you chose to come here and embody in this timeline" "the moon only exists when you look at it" "you live in a matrix that is all created by your mind” "you reincarnated to learn in the earth school" or "you already KNOW everything I'm going to tell you, you have just forgotten".
Rather than stating rational explanations such as "We learn as we grow" "your body never lies" "we have a subjective reality" "we color the natural world through our perceptions etc., mind control is used to get their victims hooked on their drug.
Red Flag #17 They offer a fake version of history claiming that a massive cover-up is keeping the public from knowing what THEY know. Rather than sharing specific details or discrepancies as historians, they present themselves as authorities on EVERYTHING to support their bottom-line DUALISM or belief in invisible people and alternate realities. Rather than explain these things as a locally shared human subjective phenomenon.
So, the bottom line is DUALISM. All these people twist science and history and tell stories to support the grandiose projections of their inner world. What they need to do is become self-realized by going direct into their inner world down into the root of their childhood and become FULLY HUMAN in the present moment.
