Relevancy: NXIVM was a cult. Preying on women, Keith Rainiere was also alleged to have preyed upon children. Further, he started in Arkansas under the watchful eye of Bill Clinton, and was found guilty of running a pyramid scheme. He paid a fine rather than serve jail time, and has been shoveling money into the democratic party which includes the Clintons ever since. This post expands and widens what this cult was about by tying it with Buddhism.

Came across this article that speaks of ''tantric'' sex and its place in Tibetan Buddhism. It has some pretty revealing things to say about the Dalai Lama and his being involved in a whole lot more than he's willing to admit. The article reminded me of a book I read a while back. I'll be damned if I can remember the title, but it was about the introduction of Buddhism to America. I'm going to have to put the rest of this in a comment below, because I can't find the book, and have no supporting material for what I read. So I'll put a summarization of the book as a comment. Now to get back to this article. Here's a bit of what it has to say:

Author: Dalai Lama reportedly aware, secretly supported lamas’ Tantric sex cult practices

he following is the opinion of author, Christine Chandler. She wrote ‘Enthralled,’ a book about the alleged secret Tantric sex practices of Tibetan Buddhist ‘monks.’ The writer’s views are her own.

NXIVM is a cult that brands women on their pubic region as a mark of slavery to its leader, Keith Raniere. Artvoice broke the story of their branding, which subsequently became worldwide news.

In 2009, the Dalai Lama came to Albany NY, where Raniere operated NXIVM, to give a speech. He was hosted by Raniere and two followers, Clare and Sara Bronfman, heiresses of the Seagram Liquor fortune. There was a great deal of controversy about the Dalai Lama’s visit. He was accused of supporting a cult. Raniere, however, used the Dalai Lama’s visit as a de facto endorsement of NXIVM. The Dalai Lama also wrote a preface to one of Raniere’s books, The Sphinx & Thelxiepeia.

As part of our reporting on NXIVM, Artvoice discovered that one of the Dalai Lama’s emissaries, Lama Tenzin Dhonden, allegedly had an affair with Sara Bronfman. This caused a scandal for Tenzin since he was publicly posing as a monk.

By Christine A. Chandler, M.A., C.A.G.S.

Artvoice recently reported on the Dalai Lama and his corrupt monk, Lama Tenzin Dhonden’s involvement with NXIVM.

This was not a fluke or an aberration, because what lies beneath a cult like NXIVM, is the cult of Tantra that the Dalai Lama and his sexually abusive monks have been importing into our country since the days of Trungpa Rinpoche: Tibetan Buddhism is not Buddhism as it pretends, it is a thousand year old cult of sexual abuse that uses women for their Tantric practices. That is why the Dalai Lama was willing to take money from Keith Raniere’s group:

Here is the news, reported all over Europe, about the favorite lama of the Dalai lama, Lama Sogyal of Lakar, that is being purposely repressed in the U.S.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/sexual-assaults-violent-rages-inside-dark-world-buddhist-teacher/

Now that Lama Sogyal has been outed and is hiding somewhere in Thailand with his harem, the women, just like those enablers of the cult of NXIVM (sexual abuse organizations always have female enablers) and the other corrupted Lamas, are infiltrating into many institutions to create chaos and havoc with their Tantra. What Keith Raniere is practicing is Tantra that nails all female energy down in a misogynistic paradigm, that these Dalai Lamas and the other Lama sects all practice, while putting on their grand theatre and using traditional Mahayana Buddhism, and humble monk personas to fool people in the West. The Dalai Lama’s Tibetan Buddhism has been the biggest hoax on the Western world, and is here to create havoc and chaos, immorality and confusion in all our western institutions.

How do I know? Because I was a western Tibetan Buddhist, who escaped their net of thought-control inside their sanghas. Few do. It is how they kept their own country in poverty and misery for the last 1000 years, and are now China’s soft power to destroy the fabric of our country. Theirs is a civilization jihad that operates by stealth, and comes with a smiling face and peaceful, happy rhetoric when they were, in fact, the religion of the wrathful Khans. That history is purposely repressed.

Someone sent me your material when it was reporting about the Dalai Lama and I thought that you might want to know what Lies Beneath their masks:

Thought you might be interested that the Dalai Lama’s behavior and support of NXIVM was not a simple mistake. Anything that ‘nails all female energy down” is what the Dalai Lama would be behind and support, just as he supported this Lama Sogyal for the last 40 years, who kept harems of Western women, whom he beat and treated like slaves:

Tantric sex is what is being used and is the lure. Even Katy Perry mentioned it during her stint posing as a knowledgeable recording star and not for the Satanic whore that she is. In a joke, she said she was practicing Kundalini yoga the previous night. For those not familiar with Kundalini yoga, there are two distinct paths. The right-handed path is alleged to be the fastest way to attain enlightenment. It does this by blocking energy from this root chakra and this keeps out sexual energy from debasing the process. However there is the left-handed path.

The left-handed path is the path of Kundalini Tantra sex. It draws its power from the root chakra or the goddess Shakti. In other word, this root chakra is left open -- wide open because it's what participants want to awaken. People may dismiss it, but it does cause change. This is what would be used if done to attain earthly power or prowess.

The number of stars involved in Kundalini Tantra ex is astonishing, but the thing to remember is that the Great Beast Aleister Crowley based his sexual rituals on this:

Yes, he did not invent the rituals. They part of the practice of Kundalina Tantra sex. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was what Raniere was using since disciples were promised seeing "a blue light".

In Raniere's shadows

Women recall manipulation, underage encounters

Women who have had sex with Keith Raniere say it was billed as a spiritual experience, a transfer of his godlike energy.

One said Raniere told her their union would make her see a blue light.

Another recalled him explaining a threesome would cure the pain of childhood molestation — that she could then start to view sex as just sex.

And in 1984, when a woman objected to 24-year-old Raniere having sex with her underage sister, the woman said Raniere explained her sister's soul was much older than her biological age. The girl was 15 or 16 at the time. But according to the man who came to view himself as an enlightened being, she was a Buddhist goddess meant to be with him.

BOOM! There it is. The proof this cult was tied to Buddhism. The press sure isn't pushing that aspect. Again:

she was a Buddhist goddess meant to be with him.

More:

He explained how there was a profound event that would often happen to the women who became intimate with him, sometimes they would even see a blue light. ... Ultimately I agreed to be intimate with Keith, and it was just as he said. I even saw a blue light, but I don't think I told him so. I remember thinking, 'Wow, my brain is really susceptible to the power of suggestion.'"

No, she was not susceptible to suggestion. This is an actual occurrence ... and it's not good.

I may add to this as I find more. But for now, I'll put my remembrance of the book in the comment section.
