 always investigate your information sources. 

*guys I edited the title to be less click bait and removed stupid comments I made. 

The previous title and comments reflected my emotional state, but I've since calmed down and realized they were silly and unnecessary.

Two seconds on the page and I'm out... I don't what in the fuck I just saw, but whatever It was, it's stupid.

There's something off about most spiritual teachers. You can't trust people who willingly want to mold people's beliefs.  Myself included.  Most folks really.

[Vinnie]

@Annetta  Spiritual was not the word I had in mind when I saw the page...

[Guest Annetta]

@Vinnie The link this person posted here or the guru's enlightenment page?  It (this article) was posted on Facebook not too long ago, it's too long for me to read tbh.

[Vinnie]

@Annetta The link. The guy screams psychopathy. Yeah I didn't bother reading either, the three photos were enough info for me.

Maybe he is a psychopath, maybe he isn't. I don't know. But these quick assumptions and closed mindedness of yours isn't gonna take you far.

[Guest Annetta]

In 2012 Bentinho posted on FB that he has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. In one of his talks he describes how he tortured a kitten when younger by repeatedly slamming it into a bush of thorns for twenty minutes.

 

Yikes.

We already discussed this topic last week.

Watch your gossip and projecting.

The fact is you do not know any other person's mind. So focus on your own psychopathologies.

Any nondual school can be easily shown as a cult to a casual observer by cherrypicking things.

Nonduality sounds insane to any ordinary person. If you spliced together snippets from all my 300 videos and showed it to a psychiatrist, he would call me an insane dangerous narcissistic psychopath and recommend immediate clinical intervention.

And of course, if Ben turns out to be a Zen Devil, that shouldn't surprise anyone either. Plenty of them around. By now you should be aware of the infinite trickery of the mind. No one is immune. NO ONE!

I did not discuss this topic last week.

I find it important to figure out people's intentions.  Not everyone has good ones.

Truth.  I do.

Interesting.

I also watched the beginning of the vid where he responses to the case.

I was considering to check his work, which I haven't yet. 

The content he offers involves very delicate complexity, without knowing his teachings and his environment closely, it would be so premature to judge.

Really folks, how are you sure that the article isn't a con job, by someone with an agenda?  Why accept that at face value? Just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it true.  Maybe dig just a bit deeper. As usual, there is another side to the story, and on his youtube site, he posted a response to this article. Whether you agree with the response or not, at least take a look.

Here is why spiritual teachers want to willingly DESTROY people's beliefs. To find Truth. That's the goal. 

How do you find truth if you placed 10000 beliefs infront of it? 

[Visionary]

@Will Bigger Lol and you think we should just have an opinion based on this shitty article? The article itself is also full of projections. 

Trinfinity academy was btw very useful in my progress.

They dont want the truth Leo...just let them suffer.

One telling sign of con job is that the Guru who has figured out that this is all a dream and he is God himself experiencing his own infinity etc....ends up quite focused on pussy and/or money.

[snowleopard]

@mp22  You have something against pussies? Let's step outside ...

[Shin]

The guy spend hours just to make a point against a guru that helps thousands ...

If Bentinho is an asshole or not whenever he doesn't teach isn't a problem, it's only a problem if you have an idea in your mind how perfect a guru should be.

If you suddenly learned about Leo being an asshole with women and abusing animals, would you stop watching his videos ?
Would it make his videos less usefull ?
Or would it be just your mind searching excuse not to use the content (the guru) to help you ?

Seems crazy, but it's not, it's a mechanism your mind use everyday, and not just in extreme case like this, just to be lazy ...
Bentinho could be a serial killer that I still wouldn't care, the infinity course is great and works wonderful.

Haha.  That's a dead giveaway that they are acting from their shadow.  That means their ego is huge.  I think a lot of these Gurus have huge egos.  That's why they are Gurus, as a way to secure their belief that they are superior to other people.  It's a deep insecurity thing.  Same reason someone would claim to have special powers or religious abilities.  The easiest way for the Ego to comfort itself is to define itself as superior so that it never has to worry about it again.  The easiest way to do that is to declare oneself a teacher of the masses.  One might declare oneself a preacher to serve the same end.  

That's quite nonsensical. Choosing to show a more humble attitude can also be ego. Can also be based on your shadow. Can also be fear based. I think it might be better to have less opinions.
