For the researcher, "it is nonsense that this man has promoted two almost completely opposite movements in two countries" , so "either he has undergone a real change in his faith or we are facing a charlatan who seeks to be idolized as a kind of messiah ” . "A sectarian leader always seeks to create his own movement because of the impulse he feels to expand and adore himself through other people whom he ends up turning into a kind of slave," he adds emphatically.
Sex with the leader, spiritual act
“This man is considered a messiah, an enlightened man or savior of humanity . He always talks about himself as a genius, an expert in languages, someone who has visited all the temples in the world and gained wisdom from him. In addition, he places himself as a unifier of the spirituality of the East and the West" , summarizes Jara, who believes that we are facing "a patient who feeds his egomania" and who describes him as "a very dangerous person capable of dominating the consciences ” .
Another aspect that Jara denounces is sexual. Although the Cathars practice and spread chastity as one of their main values, an inheritance of Gnostic thought, sex with the spiritual leader is considered one of the highest practices . “These groups, in which their leaders believe themselves to be so pure, having sex with them is equated with a spiritual act. In the case of these Neo-Cathars I cannot confirm, but it is possible that something similar may happen” , concludes the researcher cautiously
