You could level that accusation at any teacher who is teaching outside of a specialized teacher/guru-devotee/disciple/chela relationship (call it what you want) who encourages people to do things, since the teacher is constantly providing grist to the mill for awakening for those who decide to explore it.
Personally I think that he is smart enough to know he's being allowed to have his effect, but I also expect he knows he can only go so far which may (hopefully) inspire further inquiry but is also aware of the celebrity dominance his work inspires. However, I also recognize the possibility that he's a brilliant manipulator and is in cahoots, and that's just one of the many other possibilities.
All I am doing is agreeing with the sentiment of "don't trust him" and providing counter-point to the assertion that he's waking people up, because there are likewise people going to sleep "cuz Russel will tell them what to think". Whether that is deliberate and/or calculated is indeterminable IMO, in the meantime I do find him entertaining,....
Karma? Really? Not everyone finds karma a credible concept,....
