Re: Our experience with Simon Parkes as a counselor
I don't want to bash Simon but what I see is people coming to his aid and making excuses for him. Why? We all have a shadow side all of us and Simon does also, could it be that we are seeing it in his counseling style?.
He may help many people with his views, this thread does not take that away but when people can't seem to entertain the fact that Simon may not be "I am a good person just helping the planet" and so on that their may be other things going on, and they do not have to be nefarious.
When he was asking people to join his group for spiritual purposes, fine no problem but if those same people get gang stalked or now are being messed with, I am not saying that is the case, but if that stuff starts getting reported we all need to get out of our denial about what is going on. I have made many statements about this topic, I have the right to change my mind at any time. I may change my mind about this next week or in the next minute, this is the times we are in. I will not marry myself to a view of a person and then do anything not to change it.
We all know that spiritual teachers sometimes are shorefronts for three letter agencies, we know that and some of these individuals don't even consciously know it themselves. They may believe everything they say.
You never tell someone something they are not ready to hear even if it is true. He is not able to read what this person is not going to understand or not. It takes time talking to the person to find out what they want to know. Upsetting information out of left field can be damaging and the person is not able to intergrate it into their daily lives, too upsetting to shocking. But the appointment thing is also a read flag.
