Rishika X Cult: The God Con — When the Mark is Ready, the Con Man Appears
"There is a popular saying in the spiritual world: When a student is ready, the teacher appears. I would amend this saying to reflect today's Western obsession with Eastern "gurus": When the mark is ready, the con man (or woman) appears.
In hindsight, I see exactly how easy it is for less-than-holy men and women to pose as gurus and perpetrate the God Con upon people who are sincerely searching for "the divine."
A person's desire to find God, or the truth, or self-realization, or whatever, sets the perfect stage for conmen and women to swoop in and take over our lives. Spiritual seekers are, as a rule, lost, vulnerable, and desperate. Yet, they don't realize this fact, and they forge ahead with only positive feelings about their quest.
Often seekers' quests go unfulfilled for years or decades — until one day a magical person enters their lives with all the answers. A "guru." The fake gurus (and that is most of the ones targeting Westerners) can smell their innocence, their desperation, their desires — and they use it all against them to create a spiritual lure and set a trap.
