Phase 2

After that marathon of blogging all the way through August and the very busy few months before I've decided to take a little break. 

But don't worry it's not going to be like the one before where I don't write anything for months. 

If something interesting comes along I will write about it or post a link to it. 

I've even thought of following the good example of MISA bloggers and recommend articles by others. Of course with the appropriate modification of giving the link and not copy-pasting it like it's my own work. A sort of weekly selection of links maybe? I haven't decided yet. 

As for the future, and phase 2 of the blog, I thought I'll do a little proofreading of the post published up until this point as well as continuing (and maybe translating it to English and Romanian) the series I started to write about the problems with MISA (originally in Hungarian here). 

I'll try to do a summary of arguments and try to write up a deconstruction by topics. But that's the future. 

I wanted to do this for a while now. I have no idea how long it's going to take or even if I'm going to finish it. I'm just going to take a little break now and hopefully come back with more ideas for the future (and maybe less rambling and ranting). 

Until then I wish you a nice, cult and superstition free life. 

Proof that I was a student of the MISA cources

My background

The PR specialists at the official Misa site and propaganda office like to say that all those who do not agree with them or criticize them are members of the so called freemasonry, or are former spies of the Romanian secret service, payed by the latter to write against Misa. More on that later.

At this time I would like to state that I was never a member of the Romanian secret service, I never had any sort of conscious contact with any of their employees, I never have (and my purpose is not to receive in the future)any form of remuneration, payment, reward, or any sort of benefit from them.

The purpose of this blog is to inform everyone who is currently at one of the Misa courses, or is planing to go.

I write the blog in English so that not only those who are from Romania can understand it. In Romania there are 3 forums/sites where you can read about the experiences of former students of Misa. Misa has several branches in other countries where the people don't understand Romanian. For those of you who would still be interested in the original sites you can find the links to them here, they have English pages as well (or just simply write in English people will understand and respond to you), but for those pages for which you don't find an English version, I recommend google translate. It does a pretty good job of translating.

Because

I was a MISA yoga student for almost four years.

In this time I participated in different courses, camps, spirals, extra activities etc.

I went to super-special initiations in Bucharest, shakti groups, and I was a super-special guest in the super-special villa in Costineşti.

In the first period it was all nice and pretty, but things started to become fishy. First the unnecessary paranoia (2012 end of the world, demons, exorcisms etc.) and other stupid beliefs started to bother me. And I started to look for the truth about these claims. I found many of them to not be true. I also started to notice the smug and superior attitude of the other students towards people not in the cult. I also looked into cult characteristics and found that most of them fit MISA a bit too well.
So I slowly lost the romantic view about them.

The following accounts are based on my experience in these years as well as my current opinions about their beliefs, actions and claims.
