Yes, there is definitely a much larger issue at stake here and it also goes much deeper.
Yesterday a couple of researchers have contacted me who are way more in the “know” than I am, having had past personal interactions with ZG over the years. I had a skype session with one of them, revealing more information of his past, some things he told them which don’t add up.
As I suspected there is way more to it than even “just” the sex cult issue. Can’t get into the details here since there is no “hard” evidence (yet). This is also not in my hands anymore. The cat is way out of the bag. We’ll see how it all will unfold. Also, as this person said and as evident in his last article (http://www.zengardner.com/sifting-through-the-debris/), he won’t admit to anything anytime soon, but will try to hold up the “Zen Gardner” persona/role as long as possible, while using is NPL style “image management” for damage-control and divert people form the truth.
The person also noted that ZG is not stupid and knows what he’s doing, albeit he may be running under a “program” and it “malfunctioned” when he reveled aspects of his past to this woman who then contacted Steve Seymour who broke the story. Or it was all intended to begin with in terms of divide&conquer tactics within the “truth movement” as you mentioned. Ties into COINTELPRO and “Controlled Opposition”, etc. Some of it is just speculation, but where there is smoke, there is a fire.
Reading his article(s) about his “coming clean” is a good excise in spotting NPL manipulation sprinkled with emotional manipulative generalized “spiritual”/New Age lingo, diverting attention away from him, also by using the “turn it around” tactic (people are projection on him and anyone who questions him has issues) under the disguise of “love” and “healing” and continuing his “important mission”. What “mission” would that be?
It also starts to sound like a sit-com, kinda like “stay tuned for more revelations coming soon” with follow up articles and interviews he’ll be supposedly giving, carefully applying “PR Image Management” as he was trained to do.
Interestingly but not surprisingly, the person I talked to also contacted him personally, asking questions which he avoided and he ALSO sent that person the Jon Rappoport testimonial as an “answer” as he has done with Benny Wills and me. So far no one I’m aware of has been able to get a straight answer to specific questions out of him.
I think there are lessons in all this for all of us during these crazy times we’re in beyond this case, certainly for me: trusting my intuition, acknowledging red flags, not getting distracted by “appearance” or “wishful thinking”. As someone commented on this article on Facebook:
“[This] ties into so many important topics that go beyond the (deeply troubling) specifics of this particular “case” – the neo-spiritual community has been heavily targeted on a myriad number of fronts, and the New Age guru escapism/accountability-avoidance programming is claiming a huge number of unconscious/vulnerable individuals. It takes courage and real compassion (the fire that can burn) to call out the manipulation, both within ourselves and within thosewho have assumed ‘leadership’ roles (maybe it’s time we do away with that hierarchical bullshit while we’re at it?)”
