BUT WHAT IF... ?
But SpencerOne of the fears instilled in the minds of MISA followers is that of “demonic doubts” (details). Thus, according to MISA's spiritual leader, Bivolaru, students who doubt their spiritual guide and ”the MISA spiritual school”, are influenced by demons who want to divert them from the spiritual path they are on while attending the school.
But “demons” cannot simply enter the minds of normal people, they need to find the door ajar. Doubts do not appear in the mind of a spiritual aspirant out of nowhere, but have a cause. An aspirant start on the spiritual path with confidence, animated by the goals of the school and by the belief shared with other spiritual brothers that his guide is authentic and that he can lead them to the final goal. If he did not have this confidence, the aspirant would not begin a spiritual quest that involves a commitment throughout his entire existence.
So what makes some of the aspirants doubt? What makes them wonder:
"BUT WHAT IF the one who is said to be an authentic guide is actually an impostor? (details) WHAT IF this spiritual school we are in is actually false? WHAT IF this spiritual path we are on now is not actually authentic or effective?"
The lack of results over time, the contradictions within the teachings, the contradictions between words and facts, between moral principles and actual actions, all these trigger doubts in the mind of an honest student. When the contradictions become insurmountable, a sincere and consistent aspirant can no longer tolerate the situation, because he is led in the opposite direction to the principles he has embraced and which were proposed to him by the very ones who now trample them, openly and without scruples. Gradually, doubts overwhelm the feeling of trust, which thus disappears, and he decides to take the decisive step, leaving the community, the leader and, sometimes, even the teaching.
At this moment, other doubts may arise, but not like those mentioned, but in the opposite direction, which are not induced by "demons", but even by former "spiritual brothers", who want to pull him back and who whisper to him like this:
"BUT WHAT IF you are wrong? WHAT IF the guide is spiritually accomplished and you, by leaving him, lose the only chance of liberation? WHAT IF you do not understand his actions, which are only apparently contradictory? WHAT IF your judgment is the erroneous one, and you are not able to see the truth?"
WHAT IF you are subjected to a spiritual test, and you do not realize it? IF all this is true, what will you do, what will you become?"
Being the opposite of "demonic doubts", it means that these doubts just listed are "divine". Let's see where this "divine" path of "BUT WHAT IF...?" leads us. In this case, this means being "the devil's advocate":
THE GAME of APPEARANCES
So, "IF Bivolaru is a spiritually accomplished master?" Then, there is a problem, that he says one thing and does exactly the opposite. For example, he emphatically declared to his first disciples (very dedicated to him, since they had endured the tortures in the dungeons of the communist regime alongside him) that "Tantra is not for everyone, but only for the advanced". I quote from a conference by his former disciple, the famous Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, aka Narcis Tarcău, the guru on Netflix (details):
Before this period of transformation, Grieg spoke almost nothing or not at all about Tantra, it was a field that he knew, he knew its metaphysical value, its extraordinary effectiveness of this path, but he considered that people were not prepared to understand this field and he was aware of the fact that serious yogic training was necessary beforehand and that, consequently, there was hardly anyone who was worthy of this field; so this field of Tantra was surrounded by a veil of mystery and very intense metaphysics. So you can imagine what the atmosphere was like when Tantra was not talked about and, when it was talked about, it was at this level at which you had to have done 3-4 years of yoga, be able to move energy, be able to control energy and only from there, as a true initiate, to practice at a level of maximum seriousness and be an occult initiate.
So the approach itself was much more occult. At the time when we started practicing Tantra, Grieg – because he considered that we did not have the level to understand this – simply did not give any information about it. So every time he was asked about Tantra, he would tell them: “You do not know, what do you actually know about the high practices of the system? I cannot tell you, because you do not have the level to achieve this!” (audio).
But immediately after the fall of communism, a few months after the start of the courses, Bivolaru opened the "tap of Tantra” wide, for beginners, right from the 8th lesson of the first year of the course, which talks about a comparison between regular orgasm and orgasm with continence (Romanian text).
Gregorian Bivolaru repeatedly emphasized and insisted that the basis of tantric love fusions is "just love, only love", and not just any kind of love, but deep, endless love (aphorisms, book). He insisted that he doesn't have sex because it's degrading, but he only makes love (video).
But then he had sexual relations in Paris with female followers who were horrified by his physical appearance when they first saw him (details). He admitted this in court (source), respectively to investigators in France (source), so it's a fact beyond doubt! And he also said that exposing your body for money is prostitution (audio), and then he taught that the exhibition of the body for a fee, by female students, in porn video chats, is a spiritual mission (details). And many more (details).
Then, he told a bunch of lies. For example, he denied, live on TV, that porn films were being made at MISA (video, min33:25sec and text), while his lieutenants (family Stoian) acted in porn movies (video), which they then sold on the Natha Yoga school's website in Denmark, through Kubera Tantric shopping (archive).
On February 26, 2011, Bivolaru sent an "urgent" message (text) to his followers, because in a report broadcast on Romanian National Television at the beginning of the same month, the two spokeswomen of MISA had to admit to the production of pornographic films, including urophilia (Exaltation of Pee, sold on Kubera Shop - archive), from which sequences were presented during that TV report (video). Those porn movies exposed another lie told by Bivolaru live on TV, that at MISA there is no group sex and no drinking of urine.
A synthesis of Gregorian Bivolaru's blatant lies, which have been dismantled over time, can be found here (synthesis 1, synthesis 2). To these, we add Bivolaru's failures as a "prophet". Numerous earthquakes or wars, "predicted" by the Apocalyptic Messiah, never happened (synthesis). The prediction about barcode marking also failed, after a series of 15 conferences that were finally removed from MISA TV channel (archive)!
In connection with these contradictions, Bivolaru made it clear (and the followers have appropriated this idea) that everything is actually a game that the “spiritual guide” plays with several purposes. First of all, these apparent errors of the spiritual guide “makes the superficial ones, who are guided only by appearances, go away, while the disciples who are in deep communion with their guide, do not let themselves be deceived by appearances, because they feel through deep inner experience that he is still immersed in God”.
Then, this game of appearances, which the guide himself plays, also tests the fanatical followers, who have not created a true connection with him, but are slaves to prejudices, so they are not in reality authentic aspirants. Finally, with each test they pass based on their inner perceptions, authentic disciples also experience great spiritual leaps, coming ever closer to the true essential being of their guide who plays a theater of appearances (article about demonic doubts).
"It's just a game, it's a test, it's just your mind playing tricks on you, plus the demons that jump to divert you from the path", MISA followers will tell you so, convinced that their guide is the biggest the planet and Paris have ever seen. Former disciple Narcis Tarcău told that "Grieg" warned that times will come when many will not recognize him, although the same "confessor" later completely changed his mind (English text from page 13, audio). Then, the "guide" himself stepped up, seeking to decisively tip the scales:
"As you look at the spiritual guide, so will your reward from him be" (MISA article).
You don't have clairvoyance, you don't know what really exists in the "inner being of the guide", so what do you do? Who should you listen to: your inner "demonic" voice or the former colleagues who remained with the infallible guide? Jesus comes with the saving solution: "you shall know them by their fruits!" (link), which seriously shakes the idea of "the game of appearances, played by the spiritual guide".
It is immoral for the Great Guide to preach the truth (Satya), which assumes - and I quote from the 1st year course - that "we should not say what we know to be false, nor should we mislead others by letting them understand that we know something precisely, when in fact we only suspect, or make dogmatic assumptions; we can lie through actions, if these deceive others, if we make them believe that we have done something that we have not done and did not intend to do" but, at the same time, the same preacher of truth to perform deceptive actions for others, under the pretext of testing them spiritually.
The "spiritual guide" occasionally shows the extent of his immense arrogance (article), suggesting that he is spiritually accomplished (audio) and boasting of his ”unique revelations for the first time on planet” (audio).
His followers respond that, on the contrary, he is thus revealing his spiritual mission (message) and that he is actually very humble (is that why he uses the Majestic plural - Royal ”We” - when referring to himself?) Followers also claim that, precisely because he is so humble, he does not show any outward signs of paranormal powers (except for moving a compass only with the help of his mind and his "subtle breath" - video).
The height of irony, in order to "prove the veracity of his statements", he resorts to his famous and embarrassing bets on huge sums (precisely he who claims not to demand money - source), thus throwing the problem of proof onto others, while he, the one making the claims and the one who should prove them, does not.
So, at any external action of the “guide” that appears to be erroneous or contradictory, he and his followers will insinuate that everything is just a wrong impression, that it is just a game of illusion, that in reality he, the real one, is completely different. He also claims that, despite the deceptive and changing appearances, he is and remains ALWAYS THE SAME (article) or SELFSAME (TOXIC TANTRA podcast, ep. 8 Therapy).
So that you are not deceived, the followers will recommend that you “relate to his essential being”, the true one, which, in the absence of an adequate spiritual level, can turn into self-deception or blind faith, into fanaticism.
All this time, while the question persists “BUT IF he is still right?”, what is left to do?
EXIT FROM the ILLUSION
THE GAME is a simulation of reality. THE GAME of APPEARANCES involves two parts: one who simulates (the active party) and the other who reacts (the passive party). The spiritual guide does not play with himself, but needs an “audience” for his game. If the “audience” likes the game, they take part in it. BUT WHAT IF they do not agree? Then it is no longer a game! The absurd claim of MISA followers that everything their spiritual guide does is a game with hidden meanings, stops where the free will of those in the “audience” begins. When the rules of the game are imposed on others against their will, it is no longer a game, but becomes a forced, manipulative and even aggressive action. The show that the guru plays and the goal he pursues, concern only him, are his problem. But the effects of the "game" also concern those who are affected, as well as society, which has laws that clearly outline the rules of the game and the boundaries for each person. That's what the Great Actor an Player forgot. And the game is over.
Bivolaru is not being judged for acting, nor for the lines in the show, nor even for the role of perfect master that he played, as he claims, but because, within his game, he forcibly pulled some of the surrounding audience, who did not agree with the rules of the game and the scenario that was imposed on them. And the worst thing is that the guru's game was exclusively for his benefit! Part of the audience suffered! This is where all the justifications of the fans of the actor Bivolaru collapse. The game he plays should have been limited only to the scenery on stage and the reactions of the audience, not to their involvement in his play! Simulated love on stage is enjoyed by the audience, because they know it's not real, but if you pull spectators onto the stage, they might not enjoy the play anymore, because for them everything suddenly becomes as real as possible.
He is on trial for extending his stage into the space reserved for the audience, without asking for their consent. He tried to defend himself, stating that female spectators from the audience entered the stage while he was playing his part, attracted by his magnetic persona (details). Moreover, some of his admirers claim that it was all for the good of the female spectators! (Fautre, Introvigne, Introvigne again).
Defenders of the Great Master of the Cosmic Game speak of an initiation, a huge chance for spiritual evolution that he offered to some of his disciples, but any initiation occurs as a result of merits, following appropriate spiritual tests (article by Mihai Stoian). So, what was the test in the case of the female "initiates"?
They were simply invited to the guru, some of them did not even know that there was a guru of the school, and others had never seen him! "When the aspirant is ready, the Spiritual Guide appears" (source), often repeats the followers of MISA. So, let's assume that the female aspirants were prepared for sexual initiation - although they did not know and did not want it - and let's assume that the Guide saw - through clairvoyance, of course - this merit in his female students (but only in the young ones, not in the mature ones, with more "practice"!)
But how did the prepared female aspirants get to him, since the guru was hiding from the police? And he was not only hiding his physical location, but also his electronic address, without communicating directly, but through intermediaries among his faithful followers who, in turn, operated under hidden identities and through the proxy system. As we saw above, the guru declared before the judges and investigators that the females came to him. But this claim, plus a possible claim by the followers like "BUT IF what he said is true?" are shattered by the findings of the police officers who secretly monitored his actions for over a year and who found on the spot that "according to the surveillance carried out, in the 13 months preceding the arrests, the agents estimated that no less than 5 to 10 women were assigned to him" each week" and that "the Romanian acolytes then confiscated their identity documents and phones, blindfolded them, before placing them in cars with tinted windows and forcibly driving them to one of the sect's numerous lodgings" (source).
At the beginning of MISA, during the spring and summer camps, female students waited for a long time, in endless lines in front of the door of Bivolaru's house, in plain sight, just to be able to enter him, no matter for what reason or pretext. But times were different, as was the age and appearance of the much-desired guru.
Let's say that the female followers desperately wanted sexual initiation with their guru, that for this purpose they turned to instructors, who sent their requests through channels known only to them, and that some of them ("the chosen ones") received the invitation to come to the guru and and they were shown how to get to a public place (airport, train station) from where they could be picked up by his acolytes. We admit that, the guru being supposedly innocent, measures were necessary to protect him from the agents of the Deep State, so it would be justified - but ONLY AT the INITIATIVE of the FOLLOWERS!!! - to keep their travel and their activities secret, to pay for their travel, to wrap phones and electronic devices in metal foil and then place them in metal boxes, but that's all! IF it is assumed that the female followers truly aspire to the chance of their lives - i.e. initiation by the guru - and the guru is clairvoyant and chooses them only on merit and, obviously,
ONLY AFTER the affirmative answer to the consecration of the action of inviting the chosen ones to him, then first of all, their clandestine transportation (with their eyes covered, from the place of arrival to the waiting location and then to the guru), is NOT JUSTIFIED, nor is the retention of identity documents that do not contain electronic chips, facts that the guru was forced to admit because all these actions were filmed, and I quote: "Why so many constraints on the devoted followers?", the investigators ask: "I was threatened with death," claims Bivolaru. "They could have given my address to someone who wants to kill me," he tries to defend himself (source).
"They could have sold me out" is the admission by an impostor that is neither clairvoyant nor "uses the supreme and infallible method of validation which is consecration". I quote from the official MISA website:
Some alleged "victims" admit that nothing was imposed on them, that they were not forced in any way, that they always had the possibility of choosing (we know that we are repeating ourselves by stating that an infallible method of making the right decision is consecration, which they all knew). (source)
But the guru either doesn't know it or ignores it. In fact, the guru admitted that he only performed the “consecration” on the spot! I quote: “There were people who came to me to have intimate love relationships but, as far as I was concerned, the response to the consecration did not come, so nothing happened.” (source). Bullshit!
The said people would not have come if they had not been accepted and invited by the guru who hides, and this should not have happened without an affirmative response to the prior consecration, BEFORE the invitation. The Omniscient God would have foreseen in advance that the said person would not meet the requirements to be “initiated” and would not have responded affirmatively.
Even if justifications like "it was good for her to undertake the journey, to prove her aspiration, and at the end it was good for her, even if she was rejected, to experience the state of humbleness", were not justified, since so many impositions were actually intended to protect the guru against possible accusations, which could not have occurred if, as the guru himself requests, he had previously consecrated the invitation for each woman.. "The victims admit that nothing was imposed on them". In fact, they were imposed: "if you want to receive this once-in-a-lifetime chance, you must respect the rules, give your phone, your documents, cover your eyes, and swear!" They were made to believe that it was not imposed on them, but no normal person gives away their phone and documents out of pleasure. What if an unforeseen critical situation arises, when is a phone absolutely necessary?
They were deceived into believing that, in exchange for accepting the rules, they would receive something that did not exist in reality, and this is one of the central aspects of the case of Bivolaru and his acolytes. The French law does not make the mistake of throwing the entire responsibility on the victims, but holds the scammers accountable, because the initiative comes from them! The "initiative of the followers" does not at all justify the oaths (self-curses) of secrecy and the signing of forms with disclaimer statements, which demonstrate that in fact the guru is the organizer of the recruitment and transport (trafficking) system and he seeks to protect him against complaints.
And there are others, such as the video statements required of girls upon exiting sexual "initiation." What kind of women would have the initiative to tell in front of the video camera what they had done and to praise the sexual talent of the guru, while being naked? Why naked? To get women who were invited for the first time used to the idea of sexual initiation. No other reason can be imagined, because in the case of simple testimonies, it wouldn't make any sense for women to be filmed naked! And the proof is in the standard formulas with which each of these statements ended:
“I will never forget this experience and, if I do, I will then fall into the category of superficial, shifting and stupid women” (Bad Guru BBC podcast, audio, min23:sec22). Such numerous and diverse women would not have thought to use the same formula. They were made to do so as a form of psychological self-blackmail.
So, here are the novice female students in the waiting room in Paris. But one of the guests, who didn't even know why she was invited, understands what's going on and refuses to go any further (video). And then, what kind of spiritual clairvoyance does the guru have who considered that the moment of initiation had arrived for that female student, even though she had not asked for it and which she refused?
In all stories about initiations and spiritual tests, we are told that the aspirant is tested, namely certain obstacles are placed before him, which he must overcome in order to prove that he deserves the grace. But in this case, the invited woman refuses the "clairvoyant" guru, and he, instead of telling her "you failed the test, you are not ready yet, the time has not come, you do not deserve it, go away!" etc., pulls her to accept! What kind of spiritual test is this? Forced initiation?
But there was also a case in which a female aspirant showed disinterest, the guru noticed and reproached her attitude but, nevertheless, had sexual intercourse with her (Danish podcast - ep. 4 Initiation link). Where is the affirmative answer to consecration in this case? Where are the love, the transfiguration, the moral principles, which must necessarily be the basis of a loving fusion? Not in Paris, right?
MISA followers claim that it is about the fall of aspiring women in "spiritual tests" (source), but the truth is that it is precisely the guru who failed the test, because he chose to invite them, as if they were fully prepared for the moment of "grace", which turned out to be false, because among his guests were the very ones who filed complaints with the police against him and brought him to the situation of being arrested and tried, risking a huge punishment! Not coincidentally, it was precisely this conjuncture that finally brought him before the court!
At this point, to the "divine doubt" expressed by the question "BUT WHAT IF the spiritual guide is playing a GAME, what is actually a spiritual TEST?", the answer that arises from his very actions ("by his fruits you will know him") is this: "Now it is clear that this so-called "test" is a pretext and a way for your guide to satisfy his uncontrollable sexual impulses! It is a perverse game of "initiation"!" Starting from the assumption that "the spiritual guide was right", one comes to the conclusion that he was wrong, which, according to the method of reduction to absurdity, leads to the conclusion that the initial assumption is false.
So to the question "BUT WHAT IF our master is just playing a game?" from the followers, the justified reply of his critics is: "BUT WHAT IF your master is just a perverse sexual obsessive, who plays with the minds of the victims?"
The question "BUT WHAT IF he knows what he's doing?" becomes "BUT WHAT IF he does what he knows?"
PS. Nothing better illustrates the great guru's sexual abuser attitude than his own quote:
"It is no coincidence that the cock is and remains a living, legendary symbol of a real state of cock virility. If you have the opportunity to contemplate a famous cock in action, you will be amazed to find that, not by chance, the cock chooses to trample his beloved hen and endlessly practices cock continence, because he is endowed with a formidable penis."
Gregorian. Bivolaru conference: "Important esoteric arguments that we urgently need to consider" - part 4
In Bivolaru's mind, what he did would be justified by the fact that he is "endowed with a formidable penis": "if I have it, why shouldn't I use it?" But if he will be eventually "endowed" with a harsh sentence, his "formidable penis" will become useless, just like his existence! Instead, he, in turn, might feel the "formidable penis" of someone else in prison. This is what the karma principle - "what you sow, that's you reap" - would demand!
