Spiritual activity specific to women
Esoteric Shakti® Group
Access is based on personal ID, camp pass and Esoteric Shakti® Venus Romania Group badge. 
No recordings are allowed. Except for the organizers. Of course because we know that in spirituality all yogis are equal but some yogis are more equal than others and have different privileges. 

09:15 – 12:15 The meeting of the coordinators of the Esoteric Shakti® Groups, coordinated by Aida Călin. 
This I'm assuming is not for the actual shakti group members, but only the coordinators of these. So the second level of the MISA pyramid.

August 29th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Spiritual activity specific for men 
Esoteric Vira® Group (3)
Access as before. 

08:00 – 12:00 International meeting of the Esoteric Vira® Group Mahavira Ananda

Spiritual activity specific for women 
Special conference for women
Access is allowed only for women, over 18 based on camp pass and personal identification card. No recording is allowed as always. 
This is the famous women's conference of MISA one of their most popular events. It basically consists of long boring speeches, a few meditations here and there and watching porn movies together for at least 20 hours. These events are incredibly long. They usually start in the afternoon and sometimes last until the next morning. The women usually come and go all day long, many of them don't stay for the porn movies, that are part of the special conference. They are not the MISA porn movies but a selection of porn movies (selected supposedly by the great tantric master Gregorian "Magnus Aurolsson" Bivolaru himself). The more interesting aspect of this is that some of these movies are edited together from several movies, putting the appropriate sections together. And they never ever contain ejaculation, or what in porn lingo is called cum shot (wikipedia article). Because ejaculation is of the devil so to speak in MISA culture. The irony is that these are mainstream porn movies all of them containing scenes of ejaculation which are painfully obvious form the really hard jump cuts. 

14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: The revelation in our being of the state of god's omnipresence. 

We interrupt this program....

to welcome people from Argentina and South America.
Bienvenido!

I recommend you first read (at least some of) the following articles to find out more about the subject. Feel free to quote me (but please give a link to the original post when you do so) or to comment on the blog with questions and/or personal experiences. 
You can also contact me directly. You can see my email address on your right. 


About the teachers in Romania (I'm pretty sure that, since they claim that all their schools teach the same yoga using the same method that now they are claiming is a supreme efficient method, all these observations are also true for them)

Propreties of MISA in Costinești Romania where they hold their annual summer camp

8/28/2011

August 28th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Initiation in the Charismatic Theosophy Movement
Exceptional spiritual action done in a Yang spiral. 
Finally a truly free access event. All you need is your personal ID to participate. And of course to stick to the rigid rules of MISA. I just don't know what they would do if a few hundred outsiders would show up and want to participate. Especially since they put up a literal fence this year. 
And what would they do if some of those people would not respect the rules. After all the only punishment they can give out is to take away the participant's camp pass, which is not the case here so what would be the right, spiritual and spiritual hero-like procedure in this case. I would be really curious what instructions the order team got for this extra special event. 
Access is only until 9 o'clock so you better hurry. 
This who whish to participate also have to fill out "a certain form" which will contain what exactly? 

8/27/2011

August 27th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Special spiritual activity specific for men
Esoteric Vira® Group (2)
Access is as the previous event. 
08:00 – 12:00 International meeting of the Esoteric Vira® Group Mahavira Ananda

Afternoon spiritual program
14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: The revelation of Shiva's transcendental manifestation

And here comes the most famous event of the camp and MISA: the annual hiatus moment spiral followed by the collective prayer to god. 
This is probably going to receive some press so look forward to that in the future, but don't expect any big nuisance.  

8/26/2011

August 26th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Initiation in the Charismatic Theosophy Movement
New conference within the Charismatic Theosophy Movement (1)
Access is based on the special Charismatic Theosophy Movement ID. 
As far as I remember at first everyone, including non-MISA members were allowed in the movement. Wonder why this is not allowed anymore and I wonder how they convinced outsiders of the necessity of these special ID restricted events. 

10:00 – 13:30 Special new (special and new? Wow!) conference by Gregorian Bivolaru within the  Charismatic Theosophy Movement, which will be presented by Gregorian Bivolaru (but not personally and not live either) part 1.
Why isn't it specified that it's going to be a pre-recorded audio conference?

And again I would be really curious how they convinced outsiders to consider the infamous sex-guru Gregorian Bivolaru as their teacher and priest in this case. 
Oh, maybe it's because no one outside MISA's usual circle have signed up for this? 
The meeting has an essential idea (sic!) that goes as follows: "I manifest in a firm and powerful manner in my interior universe an intense divine aspiration, which is dubbed by an unshaken belief in god. Feeding it this way, ceaselessly I also feed my soul. This aspiration manifested every second will help me be closer and closer to god". 

8/25/2011

August 25th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Special spiritual program
New meditations and conferences by Gregorian Bivolaru

09:00 – 11:50 Premiere of the special conference by Gregorian Bivolaru, titled: Healing through meditation part 1. Duration 2 hours 50 minutes. 
A rehash of the series of conferences about spiritual healing from a few years ago? Now that's really lazy. If you're curious you can listen to them here: part 1, part 2, part 3. Only in Romanian. 
Now we're at you can heal every disease only by meditation. Aka thinking nice thoughts and be a member of MISA. 

12:00 – 12:30 Exemplification: The exemplary state of beneficial success

12:35 – 13:50 Premiere of the special conference by Gregorian Bivolaru, titled: Healing through meditation part 2. Duration 1 hour 15 minutes. 

14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: The state of deep spiritual communion with the great philosopher Dattatreya
So apparently MISA has taken the Nath tradition and recognizes him as an avatar or teacher and not as a god like other Hindu sects. 

8/24/2011

August 24th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Conference Svarga Loka part 6 of 6. Duration 6 hours. 
12 stamps necessary. No recording allowed. 

07:30 – 13:30 Re-audition of the conference by Gregorian Bivolaru, with the topic: Svarga Loka – The realm of spiritual divine godly beings (6)

Activities with international participation
Special Ayurveda activity part 5
Access is based on camp pass and "special ayurveda ID". 

08:30 – 11:00 International preparatory meeting of the ayurveda lecturers, coordinated by Andrei Gămulea and Aurora Nicolae

Spiritual activity
Kalachakra spiritual group meeting (3):
Access is based on camp pass and yoga ID and only for students from years 9 and above. 

8/23/2011

August 23rd (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Activities with international participation
International meeting of music therapy
Access is based on camp pass. So it's the usual nice and very open event reserved exclusively for the members of the cult. Sorry guys, it seems you missed the hole point of having an international event. 

08:00 – 10:30 International meeting of the coordinators of music therapy courses, coordinated by yoga instructor Dorin Achim (pictured)

Their official website
The whole idea of music therapy is that certain sounds are like medicine and can help you heal various diseases. There is of course 0 evidence provided as always. 
Keep in mind also that according to official MISA doctrine rock music is bad because it has demonic influences and so is jazz because it produces a certain bad mental state. But of course loud disco music is divine and helps bring in the good kind of resonances to the naive disciple. 

8/22/2011

August 22nd (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Conference Svarga Loka part 4 of 6. Duration 6 hours.
10 stamps required. No notes or recordings allowed.

07:45 – 13:45 Re-hearing the conference by Gregorian Bivolaru, with the topic: Svarga Loka – The realm of spiritual divine godly beings part 4.

14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: Profound spiritual communion with the King of the World from Shambala.
The irony of objecting left and right to the "new world order" and "one world government" etc and at the same time doing meditations to come into communion with something called "the king of the world" somehow seems so pass over MISA and it's students year after year without leaving a mark.
Oh the irony the irony.

8/21/2011

August 21st (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Romantic Trance initiation
Induction of the Romantic trance state (2) – induction of the state
No recording or note taking is allowed. 

09:00 – 14:35 Induction sustained in a subtle telepathic way by Grieg: Induction of the beneficial trance state
As far as I understand the essence of the technique is that you need to put a rubber band on your finger and move it around ate certain times and you need NEED Grieg to induce the state to your puny mind. You alone are not capable of this. God, almighty god who made everything and who's many mysterious aspects are discussed and meditated over during this camp, is also unable to give you this trance state on your own. Don't you see how deeply and mysteriously you need Grieg? Can't you see that you just can't be without him? 

8/20/2011

August 20th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Conference: Svarga Loka (part 3 of 6). Duration 3 hours. 
9 stamps needed. 

10:30 – 13:30 Conference (re-audition) by Gregorian Bivolaru with the topic: Svarga Loka – The realm of spiritual divine godly beings (3)


Activities with international participation
Special Ayurveda activity part 3. 
Access is based on camp pass and "special ayurveda ID". 

08:00 – 10:15 International preparatory meeting of the ayurveda lecturers, coordinated by Andrei Gămulea and Aurora Nicolae

8/19/2011

August 19th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Conference: Svarga Loka (part 2 of 6). Duration 4 hours 34 minutes. 
In order to get the initiation you need 8 stamps on your special Indra imitation ID. You my very special readers of course will get it for free. 

09:00 – 13:35 Conference (re-audition) by Gregorian Bivolaru with the topic: Svarga Loka – The realm of spiritual divine godly beings (2)

14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: Evocation and deep spiritual communion with the great philosopher and enlightened person Babaji


8/18/2011

August 18th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Confrence: Svarga Loka part 1 of 6. Duration: 5 hours 15 minutes. 
You need 7 stamps on your Indra ID to get in. 
At the end of this series another (again most likely fictional) mantra is given, which you can also see get here for free. This initiation from my part is just as effective as the one given in MISA, minus the boring several hours long speeches about everything but the topic, and minus the money, and the oath you need to take for MISA.
The oath meaning to swear that you do not divulge the (worthless) secret of this great initiation. This is very important for MISA. Just like for the Freemasons they "fight" so so "hard".

I'll write up the mantra in nice bold letters the day the MISA imitation is happening and you have my permission to pass it on as much as you like. 

If not, here's a challenge for you MISA:

8/17/2011

August 17th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Sign up for the Svarga Loka initiation starts today. 

09:00 – 11:00 Special initiation in the mantra of the heavenly divine being Indra. 

The actual MISA initiation implies standing in line for a couple of hours and then going in a room one-by-one and having a random guy/gal tells you the big secret mantra, asks you to repeat it and then proceeds to pushes his/her index and middle fingers in the middle of your forehead until it hurts enough and you stand like this for about 2 minutes so that it seems like you are actually receiving something. 

Well since (as I mentioned last time) this mantra is entirely Gregorian Bivolaru's invention you can use it just like any other given in MISA, because it's just as effective. 

8/16/2011

August 16th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Romantic Trance initiation
Induction of the beneficial romantic trance state (1) - The induction of the state
Entrance is until 7:30. Again no recording and no note taking is allowed. 

08:00 – 15:45 The induction sustained by the great master in a paranormal manner. Too bad they are neither willing or able to prove any of this. 

Afternoon program
16:15 – 16:45 Exemplification: The state of ecstatic trance that integrates us fully in the reality of paradisaical astral planes 

Evening program
21:00 – 21:30 Exemplification: The ineffable state of spacial-temporal synesthesia.  
Kind of reminds me of this:

Romantic Trance initiation
Induction of the beneficial romantic trance state (1) – exiting the state
Here's the description (in Romanian) of the entire process. 

00:00 – 00:30 Exiting beneficial romantic trance state
00:35 – 00:50 Accounts
The accounts will be recorded by the organizers. And probably will be the subject of yet another days mandatory viewing in future years. Nice little brainwashing/torture tool MISA is developing right there. 


Spiritual activities
A series  7 of 10. 
Blue hall 
00:00 – 06:00 Viewing. 

B series  7 of 10. 
White hall with columns. 
00:00 – 03:00  Viewing.


8/15/2011

August 15th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Conference part 2, duration: 8 hours. Taking notes is allowed. 

08:00 – 13:40 Rehearing the special conference by Gregorian Bivolaru with the topic: Indra - the divine leader of the realm of godly spiritual beings part 2. 

14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: Clear and firm spiritual invocation in out interior universe of the presence of the archangel Sandalphon.

14:40 – 17:00 Audio continued.

Alternative afternoon program
12:30 – 13:00 Exemplification: The state of spiritual communion with the Virgin Mary. 

13:05 – 13:25 Laya yoga meditation with the mantra of Matangi.

13:30 – 13:57 Presentation by Gregorian Bivolaru titled: Archangel Sandalphon - The archangel of the Holly Spirit. Audio. 
What does the archangel of the Holly Spirit mean? Is it like it's sidekick? It's bodyguard? What?

8/14/2011

August 14th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Signing up day 2. 

Indra initation
First part of the "conference" about Indra. Duration 3 hours 10 minutes. 

Here's the wikipedia entry for the god Indra and based on my experience this is much more clear and makes more sense than the endless hours of the greatest spiritual masters monotone drivel. 
And unlike the MISA version wikipedia does not require a special ID, nor does it require you to upload 2 pictures of yourself in a bikini to it's servers for an aura check, nor the requirement to be an editor of wikipedia and nor does it require a wikipedia moderator to vouch for you in order to access the information. 
Taking notes is allowed at this event. Wonder why the trance initiation is so super secret that people can't even take notes even though the method is on the internet just like the mantra of Indra. 
You also need to know that according to the master himself this mantra that the participants will get at the end of this series of conferences is not from any traditional source or scripture but rather was revealed to him personally by the god Indra. So authentic yoga right there. 

8/13/2011

August 13th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Spiritual activity
Kalachakra spiritual group 1. Wikipedia article for Kalachakra
Access is based on camp pass and yoga course ID. Access sis allowed only for those from the 9-22 years of yoga. 
So this is another classic in MISA camps. Not only is the camp exclusive to MISA students there are even more exclusive groups for which you have to be in a certain yoga year to be able to participate. 

08:00 – 12:00 Kalachakra spiritual group meeting: Spiritual ceremony for invoking the divine grace of the king of the world from Shambala and of the main deities from the Kalachakra Tantra tradition for peace and planetary spiritualization.  
Remmeber the other day the news report in which a MISA student told the news reporters that yoga is not a religion. Sure here is yet another wonderful example of exactly what kind of beliefs MISA students have. Sure maybe not all of them but those who participate in this celebration should believe this (very incompatible with their starting point Christianity) otherwise their hypocrites. 

And I wonder if this is the inspiration for the spiritual group and the celebration for (not of but for!) peace. Personally I've never seen this in any camp program (those I've participated in and those I have not) and considering that MISA almost never has original ideas but rather copies what has been proven to work for other newage group. 

And since we're on the subject Buddhism you might also want to read this article by author Sam Harris. And maybe this article on wikipedia. 

8/12/2011

August 12th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Indra initiation
Signing up is open. But only for cult members. Sorry.
The signing up takes place in the so called Comandament a part of the large flat-like building, the MISA ashram in Costineşti.

If you're curious of the actual initiation and the mantra check back in a few days.

8/11/2011

August 11th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Trance initiation
Part 3 duration 5 hours 57 minutes. 12 stamps required to enter.

08:00 – 12:15  Rehearing the conference by Gregorian Bivolaru with the topic: The mysteries of the beneficial states of trance that are consciously induced part 3.

12:30 – 13:00  Exemplification: Spiritual communion with the kingdom of the heavenly father - god.
In order to see what heavenly father they are talking about see the following articles: about god, and what the believer should do with this special relationship.

13:05 – 13:50  Listening to the audio again.

8/10/2011

August 10th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Trance initiation 
2nd part. This time it's only 8 hours 34 minutes. Nice job wasting people's lives. 
This time 10 stamps are necessary to participate. 

10:00 – 12:15  Rehearing the conference by Gregorian Bivolaru with the topic: The mysteries of the beneficial states of trance that are consciously induced part 2. 

12:30 – 13:00 Exemplification: The exemplary state of common sense. 
Now I have no idea what they mean by this. Maybe something like this

8/09/2011

August 9th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

The music for the meditations can be now downloaded form the following link (Note: these are not uploaded by me and are most likely copyrighted by non-MISA musicians so I will not upload them in the future, so get them while their hot and still available).

Trance initiation 
Part 1, duration 5 hours 45 minutes. Good thing they didn't tell that the first time the faithful yogis of MISA were initiated in this extraordinary and unique technique and when they had to sit for 12-48 hours in the famous big yellow circus tent in order to receive this great and once in a lifetime information. 
You need a special "trance ID" in order to get in. This (front, back) was mine the first time they did this trance bs. Feel free to make your own and try to participate. But keep in mind that this is only the women's ID and that you probably need a camp pass as well. 
The change since the first time when I participated is that people can't make notes anymore. I suspect that this is due to the fact that the whole technique is available on the internet here and here.  
Oh and for the naive and full of aspiration first year students for whom this is the first camp: if you have been told that it was never allowed to take notes during this initiation or for that matter any other initiation in the camps, you have been lied to. Taking notes was never a problem until the whole trance initiation ended up public. So keep that in mind and don't forget to ask the person who told you that some follow up questions. 

8/08/2011

August 8th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

12:30 – 13:00 Exemplification: Meditation upon the states of profound inspiration that appear when we are faced with godly synchronicity phenomena. 

13:05 – 13:25  Meditation: Laya yoga with the mantra of the great cosmic power Matangi. 
Now that's just lazy. But seriously, this is another classic: the main meditation of the day (the one around noon) is always a meditation with the patron cosmic power of the camp. Why? It was never explained neither in the written program that the participants get, neither in the presentation of the meditation. But why bother with making sense when the whole point is to feel and to feel good and to stop thinking.

And the strange part of the meditation is that those who have the initiation in the mantra of Matangi (that is given in MISA, which by the way is AIM) have according to MISA doctrine the most superior form of the technique and they should be able to do this in silence while the meditation that is held in the camp is always with the cosmic power's music (supposedly chosen by the master based on the appropriate resonances in the song, but never actually composed by the master or any of his advanced disciples who are musicians). How is that supposed to work?
Now the problem is that the mantra is given in a pretty high year and so many people need to do the meditation in another way in order to be able to access the subtle field of the cosmic power in question (hey it's their beliefs not mine, don't ask me to make sense of this) so the organizers provide them with the (also according to MISA doctrine) the least they could do: the least effective way of resonating with a form of god: the meditation with music.

8/07/2011

August 7th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

The signing up for the trance initiation continues. 

Music for the meditations can be downloaded from here.

14:00 – 14:30  Exemplification: Evoking and communion with great philosopher and enlightened Abhinavagupta. 
Wikipedia article
Description here
Oh and don't think for a second that the above wikipedia article is in any way less than the exceptional and special information you would get if you were at the camp. The presentations that are given by some yoga instructor on the stage in the camp are much more poor that these. And at least wikipedia provides sources for these unlike MISA. And while you're at it if the subject actually interests you, you can find out dozens of times more in an hour of googling and reading than in that 20 minute meditation. You can even put on some nice ambient or trance music while you do so. And then you won't even feel a difference. And you won't have to pay for it. 
Related video: 

21:00 – 21:30  Exemplification: The state of detachment and generosity. 
Again with the generosity and similar good stuff. MISA claims (through it's official representatives the yoga instructors and website) that if the sufficient number of people meditate together for a certain cause like for example the decrease of crime in a region then that will surely happen. 
Well we could see that there were an awful lot of meditations with nice and mild topics like these in the begging of the camp. We still need to see any evidence that all of these meditations have had any effect on or change in all those people that participated (many of them several years in a row) in these camps. Until now I did not see any evidence of this, only the subjective claims and wishful thinking of the cult members themselves. But I still eagerly await your evidence MISA. 

The above claim by the way was copied from the Transcendental Meditation Movement, that Gregorian Bivolaru lately has claimed to have started in Romania (little hint if you are not too familiar with MISA yet: it's not true). TM also claimed to be able to do this, yet wasn't able to provide proof either. 
I personally have heard the exact same claim form a MISA instructor as a proof of the authenticity of MISA teachings. And yes of course she also made the claim that the authorities covered it up just because they are pure evil. So MISA not only translates and adapts the books it publishes but also translates and adapts the various claims that it's people think are in some way cute or spiritual. 
I don't know about you but that's not too spiritual or too nice in my opinion.

Spiritual activities
22:00 – 23:30  Movie evening.

Next day

8/06/2011

August 6th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Now finally the fun stuff starts. First up there's the big event that was so unique that you needed to participate the very first year because who knows when the master will decide in his divine wisdom to allow this exceptional initiation again. 
In the first year none of the events went as planned. There were horribly long conferences on the topic. And when I say long I mean a minimum of 12 hours long conferences that contained about 2 hours of actual material read out loud by the great master himself in a very ragged out manner, accentuating every other word even if it was not necessary to do so. Incredibly boring. 
The conferences were supposed to last only until the end of August but they managed to drag it out until the very last day in September. The purpose of this in my opinion was to select only those who were truly dedicated to the cult and had no life to g back to. 
Oh and did I mention that this was the first initiation that you had to pay separately for? 
So not only did you have to pay for 11 months of yoga classes, the HIV and syphilis tests and the camp fee you had to pay for this separately. And then there were the special plant mixtures that you could buy, also for a rather huge price. And the recipe is a big secret to this day, so that only the official one can be bought so that the money goes in the right pocket. But of course MISA is not a cult. MISA only acts like a cult on every level. 
Since ten they have put the CD with the pre-recorded message from the master on various times and by this time all of the disciples should have listened to it. Exception of course is the newcomers. I'm assuming these are for them only. 

So first you need to sign up for the trance initiation at the headquarters. According to the official announcement those who were not allowed back in 2007 and 2008 can also try again. It is also specified that the forms can only be completed personally in the headquarters. 
I don't really remember anymore what that form contained I just remember that you had to have a separate picture for this that was put aside along with your completed form. Why all the bureaucracy I wonder. Couldn't they tell form the picture alone that someone will not practice it so he/she is not worthy of it? Or that someone will make the super-secret technique known publicly? 
Because that's what happened. And that's what all this fuss is supposed to have prevented. Now they don't allow anyone to take any notes at the big initiation, but please. If half of what you claim is true you should not need this dear advanced yogis. 

Oh well. Here's the entire trance initiation and technique in Romanian. Sorry I have no time to translate that too. If someone volunteers I'll be happy to post it. 

14:00 – 14:30  Exemplification: Spiritual evocation in Akasha and meditation over the moment of the transfiguration of Jesus. 

Again need I point out that according to MISA doctrine if you can see in the Akasha chronicles you can see past and future with the same amount of ease. Then how the hell can't you do what I suggested above? Or the million other things that you could use this power to do. Ever considered that a good imagination isn't equal to actual knowledge?

Description here

21:00 – 21:30  Exemplification: The state of divine altruism. 
Again I can't wait for the abundance of altruism that will result after this and considering that about half of the population of Romania is a MISA yogi the effects will be amazing.

14:00 – 14:30 Exemplification: Evoking and communion with the great Tibetan yogi Milarepa.

MISA official website description of the meditation.

21:00 – 21:30 Exemplification: The state of superior boldness manifested in the spiritual field
From what I gather form the official description this is a meditation about courage and to be courageous and that's important because that's how you get spiritual treasures. Again with catering to the ego of the disciples and encouraging greed. Spiritual, newage bs related greed, but still greed.

For the lols here's a random video on that topic

This week in MISA 08/05/2011

I't that time of the year.

The most important event in the (MISA) year has started in Costineşti: the annual (MISA exclusive) yoga camp.
I recommend you read my past posts about the topic of MISA an it's "yoga camps" here and here as well as watch the excellent documentary here if you haven't already.
You might also want to check out my day-to-day posts about the event entitled MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011. I'll be posting daily about the events of the camp. It's not like a report form location but it's more like a commentary about the ideas presented. When the eventual news reports about the camp pop up I'll post a link to those as well.

August 4th (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

14:00 – 14:30  Exemplification: Evoking and communion with the great yogi Sri Yukteswar. 
The meditations with characters from the supposedly autobiographical book of Paramahamsa Yogananda are somewhat a tradition in the MISA camps. 
The book itself (this is a link to the MISA version, translated and adapted to the level of understanding of his stupid disciples who wouldn't understand anything not translated in this manner by the master himself from a language he barely speaks. Now that is some sort of paranormal performance right there. And don't ask my why the actual person who's autobiography this is supposed to be and who wrote the book and who has his photograph on the cover of almost every other edition of the book has in the MISA version a painting of a mythological immortal yogi's image on the cover. If you can think like a MISA yogi you know why, I just can't find any normal, rational reason for it) is recommended reading for first year MISA students and is presented the ideal path for a modern yogi with the occasional MISA specific change. 
Never mind that it is also full of fictional events and bs. Reality has absolute no worth to MISA and it's leader Gregorian "omniscient and in communion with god all the time" Bivolaru. 

Presentation of the meditation on the official MISA site

21:00 – 21:30  Exemplification: The state of spontaneous ecstasy that appears in our interior universe through the awareness of the absolute harmony that exists in the entire Macrocosm. 
Or otherwise known as the anthropic principle, that MISA never actually teaches under that name but hints to it in various ways, among them this type of meditations. For why this is utter bullshit see

22:00 – 23:30  Again the movie evening.

August 3rd (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Meditations
14:00 – 14:30  Exemplification: Evocing and communion with the great yogi Lahiri Mahasaya
Wikipedia article about Lahiri Mahasaya. MISA version
These sort of meditations are classic and are part of each years program. That's until the really important things like the annual special initiation starts. Then that's the focus and meditations like these appear no more in the program. 

21:00 – 21:30  Exemplification: An intense and striking state of self confidence that allows the manifestation of a state of euphoric spontaneity. 
Notice the use of certain keywords like mysterious, intense and almost anything that has a positive connotations for the MISA yogi. Sometimes I got the impression that they just wrote down all these words on pieces of paper, threw them in a hat and picked out a certain number of them and arranged them until it made some sense and sounded spiritual enough. Not to mention the fact that in the case of this meditation the catering to the ego of the disciples is rather strange form a spiritual school and in a spiritual camp.

22:00 – 23:30  Another movie evening. See yesterdays program for what that's about.

August 2nd (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Meditations
14:00 – 14:30  Exemplification: Evoking and communion with the great philosopher and yogi Swami Shivananda.
Here's the wikipedia entry for said swami for a different perspective on the man. 
And here's the MISA version of the presentation of the meditation and why it's important. 

21:00 – 21:30  Exemplification: The ecstatic state of plenitude that is triggered in our being by the total abandonment to the divine love. 
MISA presentation of the meditation. 
Note the grandiose and extra long title. That's necessary because if a title is really-really long than you can be sure it's authentic and true. Never mind that MISA or anyone has never even been able to prove that their version of a divine exists let alone that it' a loving one. 
I also would like to take the opportunity to recommend you a video (it's also long if you're into that sort of thing) that discusses the loving and benevolent god problem and why it's unlikely that such a god exists. 


Spiritual activities
Something entitled "Viewing" in the newly renamed blue hall from 22:00 – 23:30. The blue hall is probably the hall above the canteen of the Costineşti ashram that has a blue carpet. If they haven't changed anything this was the only thing that was blue in it. But blue is such a nice and calm color don't you think. It's such a nice name too. 
Now I may not know all of these events so bear with me when that happens but this usually means watching a movie together with the mandatory consecration beforehand. And not any movie. A movie hand picked by the master for this day and for the people that will be participating in this viewing. The movie even though it's made by the evil film industry of some far away country (I've never seen a Romanian movie shown in these events, but if there have been please let me know in the comments, as well as the title of the movies if possible). The movies are either downloaded from the internet or recorded straight form the tv. I remember one year we watched a movie that had the Romanian state tv station's logo in the upper right corner. 
The movies are usually about something deemed spiritual or some crazy conspiracy theory "documentary". A part of the movies are some obscure foreign movie or an Indian Bollywood style movie. A list of similar movies can be found here or here (this is the unofficial MISA video selection on blogger).

Next day

August the 1st (MISA Yoga camp commentary 2011)

Meditations
12:00 – 12:30  Meditation sustained telepathic-subtly by Grieg: 
Manifesting, energizing and expanding the subtle spherical and mostly euphoric, spiritual field of the Costineşti 2011 spiritual yoga vacation camp®. Romanian language explanation on the official site. Warning heavy on the propaganda. 
They do this each year at every camp. This is how every MISA camp starts. And it's never explained (as far as I know) exactly how this works and how big this subtle field is. Back in the first year when the first camp announcement came up someone asked if she could do the meditations from home because she couldn't go to the camp. To which our instructor answered that of course you can. You just have to tune into the subtle spiritual field of the camp and it's like your there. Of course the big secret is that this isn't really the case. Some people and some places are more equal than others. But that's beside the point. If you actually believe in this bs I hope you will rather do it like this for free than to actually go to their camp and pay them a lot of money to be allowed to do so. Trust me there's no difference. And if anyone claims there is I eagerly await you with the proof for this. 

13:00 – 13:30  Exemplification (all further events titled exemplification, or for that matter any event that takes place in the camp -cuz you know he is like god omnipresent and omnipotent to do so, but of course this still doesn't mean that MISA disciples consider him god, oh no - are sustained subtle-telepathically by the master, so for brevity I will not write that in every single title): A state of total and unconditional consecration towards god  of the fruits of the beneficially integrated actions that we will be performing in this camp. 
A lecture about consecration by the master can be heard here. Only Romanian. 

14:00 – 14:30  Exemplification: The state of profound communion with the mysterious source of spiritual life. I've already wrote about that here. 
A Romanian language explanation of the meditation is here. It's one big page so you need to open it once and search for each meditation individually. So don't click on it hundreds of times. I'll put a link just in case but it will all be the same one.
But don't be sad of you can't read it, it doesn't make much sense and says as little as possible in as many words as possible and is anyways only somewhat clear for those who speak fluent misan. 

21:00 – 21:30  Exemplification: The state of divine compassion that transforms us. 
Well after this I will expect to hear hundreds of stories of MISA yogis who helped countless poor people and saved countless animals and helped in countless other real world problems in the next year. Oh wait. We are still talking about the cult that holds meditations about compassion and then teaches and publishes hate filled material and in no way endorses actual voluntarism unless it serves the cult. You know the karma yoga work that holds this camp together and produces the hundreds of book and various courses they publish as well as the naturist products they sell in the very place the spiritually themed "lectures" and "initiations" take place. 
You can also read up on their propaganda material about this meditation here.

Next day. 

2011 MISA yoga camp materials for free

So the "big" "yoga" camp of MISA has started in Costineşti. 
To participate in this unique and very special exclusive event you have to do lots of expensive and even strange things. 

Did you ever wonder what it's all about? 

Is your MISA yoga instructor not willing to give you the necessary information beforehand? 

Are you not willing to do the strange things they ask just to satisfy your curiosity? 


Well worry no more. 


This month I will take you through the MISA camp step by step, providing you with all the topics and activities as well as the occasional additional information that might be useful if for some reason you would want to actually practice and waste your precious time with this entirely unproven and entirely fictional nonsense. 

If you like the series please comment and spread it around by spamming the very same people that spam you with the latest bs from the official MISA website or the even more annoying unofficial MISA blog. 

A few things you need to know before we start. 
In order to participate in the camp you need to send via your MISA yoga-instructor two non digital photos on "real" photographic paper in which you appear in a two piece for women one piece for men bathing suit. Along with the money that depends on if you're a student or not. It ranges from somewhere of 200 RON to almost 300 RON. 
Oh and don't forget the syphilis and HIV tests that you need to submit. But don't worry they don't have to be negative. They need to be done just to fuck with your head and make it all seem like some big important thing and that is taken seriously by the organizers. 

In order to participate in this entirely free and sometimes serious sometimes funny version you need to do only one thing: to visit this blog every day for the latest update. I'm serious. You don't need to send me any photos for me to look at your aura to see if you are worthy of this information. No you don't have to pay me money. You don't need to get a personal spiritual police to make sure you son't step out of line. You don't have to do any of that. It is actually free. If the fact that I don't take any of this seriously and don't believe that any of this is actually real bothers you that is your personal problem. You should stop reading now. Otherwise I would love your feedback and any additional information you are willing and able to provide. If it's interesting enough I'll update the post. 
This will replace the weekly "This week in MISA" type posts for the duration of the camp. If some interesting news comes up I'll add that too. 

A few notes for the MISA press office if they decide to write about this:
1. No I did not start the series on the first day because I just decided to do it, not because some paranormal spiritual pro-MISA power prevented me form doing so. And just to make it clear yes, this has everything to do with the fact that you started your precious spiritual camp. The start date is not a coincidence it is intentional and it is valid criticism of a non-profit educational organization's activity. Shady and very much not educational but intelligence decreasing and manipulative activity to be more precise. And no you are not above criticism just because it's about things dear to you as a group or as an individual student or representative of MISA, no matter how many of you there are in the world and no matter how many of those come to this camp. 
2. If there is any mistake in these posts please point them out in a civilized manner and if I see that it's valid and accurate (you can help this by providing direct evidence, just shouting LIES, INJUSTICE, DEMONS, FREEMASONS etc will not suffice) I will be more than willing to correct any information. Exception being of course the parts where I write about my personal experiences those are not up to debate. For that to be even thought of as a subject of editing you need to provide some really hard evidence. 

So let us begin.
The first four will be posted today starting form 5 PM. The August 5th post will go up tomorrow.

Read the first day's commentary here.

Former MISA members on tv 2011

Here's two parts from the interviews shown on Antena 1 TV-station with two women, former disciples of MISA with English subtitles. 
This show still hasn't received any response from the pro-MISA camp. And these are one of the most normal and honest presentation they have gotten in years. I'm still waiting for them to try to twist every single word the women said into something that fits their agenda, because that would be a true test of their spontaneity and creativeness. Maybe this should be part of the Miss Shakti contest, soon to start in Costineşti. Maybe as part of the intelligence test, or the spontaneity test. Show them the report and give them 10 minutes to come up with a response that is appropriate fro a spiritual school and that represents what you are taught in this school and how the relationship between the spiritual leader of the spiritual school, the same one that organizes this beauty contest, should be like and why these women are manipulated by Freemasons and this whole show is just yet another attempt by the Freemason controlled media to manipulate and brainwash the population so that they don't see how truly spiritual and wonderful our yoga school really is and how great our master really is. 
Or something like that.
