I always knew something was up with Faith Shepard. Too “good to be true”. Everyone thought that she was “so wonderful”. She was constantly sucking up to Monica and anyone who could get close to her beast to have one or several corroded screws loose.
Pretending to be so mothering and nurturing to these women often starved for some female kindness and taking all their confidences back to the snake pit to “prove her worthiness” and get a seat in the “special circle.”
Shameless social climber. The worst part is she has a daughter of her own. Reading that she was texting this poor traumatized woman and trying to influence her to put the mystery of Gretchen together for me too. These women keep other women gaslit and long confused like,
“He can’t be that bad if Faith or Gretchen believe in him.”
Heather George is one of Chet’s prettiest show ponies, and she loves that status. I wonder about the oaths these health practitioners made, and I hope this is reported as if either Heather George or Jen Wilhelm ever treated any of these victims.
They were, in fact, their patients, and they had a legal obligation to report this abuse. So much toxic feminine. So little sisterhood.
For five decades this man has been “teaching”. 5 decades he has been thrashing about and not caring who gets injured or exploded in the process. How could he ever grow if all he ever knew growing up was the dominance/submission modeled by his parents, his mother’s martyrdom and manipulation strategies, and the deeply internalized sense of unworthiness and rejection he internalized starting from his pre-verbal years in this world.
He is both masochist and sadist and never learned to love or take pity on himself, never received unconditional love from a guiding figure, so of course, he has never known how to genuinely be that for anybody else. He cannot imagine a heaven beyond these pain models inflicted on purpose as a vehicle for learning, so he cannot create it.
In essence, he has partaken in the rape and abuse of his own mother his entire life, projected onto meek, soft, small, or “submissive” women. Contributing full circle to his god-honest genuine human needs never being met, his hunger and desperation never satiated, and assuring that he has only battered and crippled women as his mother going forward for countless lifetimes.

If this were true journalism, there would be no need for name-calling and labeling.
It’s a blog entry, and as a person who was quite present for many recounted events and knew/know many people in the story, I state unequivocally that there is a mountain of spin and falsehoods in this writeup.
One of the biggest falsehoods is that the people who choose to continue as SC’s students are NOT doing so out of fear. I don’t know a single one – there is a great deal of love and gratitude, on ALL sides.
Disbelieve that if you wish.
I don’t see name calling. I see many very hurt and angry people that have been lied to and conned out of their labor, money, and used for sexual favors over decades. Just because you never saw the Mr. Hyde part of his personality, how dare you discredit his victims, many of whom you have never met. How dare you say, “he never did this to me, I never saw it, so it didn’t happen.” You sit with your blinders on and see only what he lets you see, and greedily suck up whatever attention he might bestow on you so you can “live your big life”. I’ve never a met anyone close to being as supreme as he is at subterfuge, obfuscation and whataboutery.
Oh and the only reason you–and you speak only for you–have no fear is because he has not beaten you, choked you, had one of his ashram buddies rape you. So, with great respect, fuck you.
Tell me more about this idea.

Nothing worse than a room full of boomers loving the old white fake guru. There are sooooooooooo many of them. It makes me sick (and happy at the same time that I left the guru cult worship. They are ALL the same including the fake lalalamas of tibetan boooodism.
This is all self hate. People blame others for what they see in themselves. No one else can do the work for you. You must do it for yourself.
Oh yes…. the old “everything is a mirror” trick. While that has some truth I would point out that doesn’t apply to vampires. Sadly non duality principles have been highjacked by psychopaths. The whole “don’t be a victim”, “there is no right or wrong” yadda yadda is SUPER convenient for criminals and abusers isn’t it? That is exactly why our world is on fire. All this spiritual bypassing has created a world of passive aggressive, easily programmable, hypocritical who are incapable of leading themselves or saying no. Really not a surprise with founder of est and landmark being bros with Muktananda. The New Cage movement was designed so all the people fleeing from religion would have another space to be contained and controlled. Fun fact, the dude that helped create Course In Miracles also helped on MK Ultra. This is all a program. People decorate it differently but EVERY self help, coaching, business, political, financial and spiritual guru is using this SAME FUCKED FORMULA because it is BY DESIGN.
Good Stuff Splainer. Thank you
You live only to please this monster. You an get out.
Swami hold up. Don’t let them make you feel that you are not a true guru.
I don’t see anything but hate with all these people who are putting him down. He’s a good man. He’s helped a lot of people.
Tell me more please.
Wow… Really? Look… most people who are not in the inner-circle, have no idea what is really going on. Apparently you are one of them. I was one also for many years until I started to get a glimpse behind the curtain. People only ever help themselves.
That is the problem with your response. A true guru should only every point your attention back on yourself (your “Self”). Growth only every comes from within. No one can ever do it for you. Look at the teachings of people like Ramana Maharshi… “self-inquiry” is said to be the fastest and most direct method. If you want to realize yourself… Where else would this come from but yourself?
Regardless of whether or not you believe in realization or enlightenment, the very idea that someone else is necessary is a problem. Maybe in the beginning accept direction and guidance from someone with your best interests in mind (with caution) perhaps, but don’t get mixed up about who is ultimately responsible and who ultimately must do the work. Trust that what these former members of The Movement Center say is real and factor that in when you respond.
A father feeding a child and providing that child with a roof over their head, could be said to be that child’s benefactor, but that would not justify that father’s abuse of the child… Right?
What about the ones he has raped and assaulted and cheated and exploited? Are we chopped liver? Why do you think Frank started this exposé? Because he is a wonderful person? He’s a criminal, my poor ignorant friend.
Thank you FOREVER Frank. These lemmings need to wake up.
If you wanna read about how great he is read all the things he writes about himself
Great job Frank! T
hanks for compiling these comments into one article with some editing/extra as well. T
his isn’t even close to the bottom of the depravity of this place, and I say this even as someone who never had sex with the swami salami.
As a survivor of it, I am both relieved and horrified at the scope of it all and know it’s even worse as well as you haven’t interviewed me fully yet.
And whatever I know it’s even worse than that. I want to tell. I’ve been waiting and I really worry what’s going on at Gold Beach, and what might exist as evidence still at The Movement Center (despite it being sold) or at other properties. I am also a rape victim. I was roofied (completely unaware), trafficked, and raped while living there as a “student.” That was probably the objectively worst thing that happened to me, but I was totally drugged and semi-conscious. Truth is, the betrayal that I felt over time though hurts the most, as well as all the active enablers and “believee”s trying to bargain their way about the reality of it or even just selectively excuse the salami’s behavior because he’s “damaged.” (no excuses can make up for it) The depth of the vile behavior that I even one devoted one instance of my time to, even unconsciously; is the worst feeling to deal with.
Michael ordered his “devotees” to become professionals in certain fields and even paid for it with the “donations” of other poor ignorant souls in order to create an army of lawyers, doctors, and various forms of recruiters and traffickers in different industries, with fingers in international markets. He has properties either owned or leased or donated to him (not in his name) in London, Australia, Nepal, Paris, India, LA, New York and probably others in Europe and elsewhere.
His selected closest devotees probably (no really I know) all would fall on a bullet for him and they also do so because they have collateral on each other (implicated all together.)
So next ask yourself really why Michael this sick monster psychopath had Sharon Ward become a body recovery specialist in canine search and recovery mostly for children (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) as she frequently told even me (and I get chills now down my spine thinking about this.) Liz Bazzanti isnt the only body she recovered or wasn’t the first to “discover”.
I have more info on this as well, but I want to make sure this is all gets maximum impact.
This is VERY scary and the replies in the comments from obvious cult members even possibly Michael himself (seems so) is because they also are scared and are noticing the truth coming out.
AS A SURVIVOR PLEASE LETS KEEP GOING!!! THEY BELONG IN PRISON!!!!!
We won’t go away! I promise you
What won’t go away is your karma. You know that in your heart of hearts.
Hello Moni. How are the eyes?
Tell me more about your ideas. Contact Frank- He welcomes everyone to talk to him. (305) 783-7083
I got out. You can get out. You are not alone. https://www.igotout.org/resources
Tina, what you reveal about your true heart is ugly. Stop pointing the finger at others and accept your responsibility for yourself. You only work on your karma by taking responsibility.
Foolish Moni. There is no work on karma. Karma is karma, the Alfather wove the Skane of your existence long before you were born. God’s die. The cycle never ends.
Hi Moni! How are your eyes? Good luck with everything. 🙂
H Moni. I see you.
Hi again Moni. Still a flying monkey I see.
I encourage you to tell your side of the story. I welcome it.
Im no longer afraid and cant be bullied. So please, say more about me. Go ahead. Im listening …please dear heart expert
Society and the world has moved on but you have stayed the same.
The amazing to me as well how ordinarily depraved your statement is. You could be any cult member from anywhere, or any redneck low iq patriarch from kentucky trying to silence his incest victims. Its all the same bargain basement tactics I now know.
Its so obvious when the abuse tactics are typed out.
And you probably think this was a clever reply which is so wild to me now that i see it from normal unhooded eyes. You cant even see it can you?
Only a really mentally broken person would read “roofied and raped” and type to an alleged victim “ugly heart.” While also showing their hand in comments suggesting payback with “karma” for people saying their abuse victims of a cult?! Way to prove the point sis. Is this “seva”?! “Compassion?!” Look in the mirror, then come back to me and please explain to this human being here. Im listening.
To any other victim here who hasnt left yet its worth it. Contact Frank or Jessica B, get connected to the rest of us. To anyone on the fence about this please see what this is now and how they prove themselves. Its worse than this, still.
To anyone with a guilty conscience now is the time.
Brave soul, and such a measured, compassionate response to plain evil. I think you all are in fact agents of this monster’s karma – and may your good service bless you all –
Well said Tina. I am with you.

Only Monica’s black empty heart is ugly. Soul Eater Demon Succubus Moni Balogne needs to fly her ass back to hell. Tell Karma she’s a bitch too!
Weak, rehash of previous article comments. Nothing new to see here. Snooze. Do better-this dude is poison.
Frank does these types of posts for the benefit of readers who might’ve missed the comments.
Frank, it might help to add something to the title so people who’ve already read all the comments know it’s a rehash going into it. Something like: “FR Comments Roundup: People Who Knew Swami Chetanananda Speak Out About His Mental Illness and Sadism“.
Or “In Case You Missed It: People Who Knew Swami Chetanananda Speak Out About His Mental Illness and Sadism in the FR Comments”
Or “Reader Comments: People Who Knew Swami Chetanananda Speak Out About His Mental Illness and Sadism“
Very good suggestion.
