Kumaré - The True Story of a False Prophet

<< < (2/2)

inea1111:
This is a very important movie for any logical thinkers, skeptics, and would be so very important to the true believers if it could sink in as a reality.

It show how easily someone offering what is to white culture exotic spiritual knowledge can scam people.

However, as with the believers in the various religions, they can recognize that Kumaré was a fraud, they will tell you how other religions and teachers are frauds, but their Savior du jour is the real deal. Our society conditions us that appearances trump your inner Voice, and it is not surprising that so many stifle their own mind in order to shape it to the form any given 'Teacher' tells them is 'the Truth.'

Please do watch Kumaré, then apply that lesson to whatever you have been taught.

However, that version is dubbed into German, which might be a deterrent to many?

This is a great documentary! I've seen it a couple times and the most interesting aspect to me was that even after he revealed himself to be a fake guru, folks were still saying that he was the real deal..
