Nothing Can Happen (Without A Helping Hand)

The NewAge naturopathic bullshit works every time:

"A Kiwi woman has told of her bizarre experience with a UK cult 'guru' jailed this week for rape, detailing how he danced around her bed and 'enlightened' her during an alleged sexual assault.

Michael Lyons*, also known as Mohan Singh, was jailed for 10 years after raping and sexually assaulting two female 'recruits' between 1998 and 2008.

The 52-year-old London man was acquitted of three further charges of rape, one involving the 23-year-old New Zealand woman on her OE in 2005.

She has written of her experience on a website for the Rick Ross Institute, an organisation which tracks and studies cults.

A second New Zealand woman also complained to police about Lyons. He was not charged in relation to the complaint but the woman gave evidence at his trial.

UK police said Lyons operated as a 'spiritual group leader' purporting to be a naturopath, skilled in osteopathy, acupuncture and nutrition."

Don't get me wrong:

Being a stupid enough liberal to believe in NewAge naturopathic bullshit is a great help, too.

*That is not Michael Lyons in the photo. A picture of him can be found here.

Push Her Head Down (You Have Already)

"I cannot help feeling that this is a setup. I do not believe these allegations to be right and proper and I do not believe it should be before this court. It feels like a witch hunt. And it has been a lot to deal with all these years. He has never set himself up to be a guru. He is a friend of many gurus but he is not one himself."

-- Clare Davis, another idiot and friend of Michael Lyons, AKA Mohan Singh - who faces five charges of rape and three of sexual assault - telling us the all-too-familiar story of how she has suffered as her "health guru" palled around with other gurus - though he isn't one himself - and went by different names, while constantly facing false charges of raping women "all these years", forcing poor ol' Clare to get all Ham & High.

Sexual Healing

"The 23-year-old dancer from New Zealand said she had been feeling homesick and her friend said Mohan 'had healthy methods, osteopathic treatments, that will help you feel better. He's helped a lot of girls feel better by changing their energy and things like that'.

Mohan 'gave her a lot of attention' and asked her many personal questions, the court heard. She was then taken to the home of several of Mohan's female followers, which had a 'shrine' in the living room.

Mohan went round 'giving back rubs' to the women as they sat in a circle, the court heard. He then told all the girls to get up and dance to music by Michael Jackson. After an hour or two, Mohan took one of his female disciples downstairs, it was alleged.

The witness said: 'When they both came back, I remember everyone commenting on the woman, saying how much energy she gained from being downstairs and getting some sort of treatment.

'I didn't think so. I thought she looked quite flushed.'"

Let's See - Spiritual "Enlightenment", Faith Healing, The Dalai Lama, Dumb Women, Sex - Nope: We're Putting It In But That's Not News!!!

"A cult guru who claimed he had mystical healing powers raped and sexually assaulted young female followers he found attractive, a court heard.

Michael Lyons, 51, wore flowing robes, called himself Mohan Singh, and surrounded himself with a group of girl devotees.
He convinced them he was linked to Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and was 'enlightened,' it was alleged. But Lyons raped and sexually assaulted seven of them over a ten-year period, jurors heard.

One woman claimed he had shown her a film before climbing on top of her naked and spouting 'spiritual mumbo-jumbo'.
Another said he wafted a scented frying pan around her and mumbled incoherent words before grabbing her neck and raping her in his flat.

Prosecutor Philip Katz QC told London’s Wood Green Crown Court: 'We say he is a sexual predator masquerading as a guru.'"
