Already, on their website, Ramalila, devotees like Barry Wright are singing his praises and shoring up their emotions from the inevitable fallout of not having a living 'God' to guide them. They already indicate his presence from occult worlds in their lives and offer a joyful noise about how wonderful he was and is. Apparently the Lenz students think Fred is the last reincarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu. Can you believe that? Devotees have much to gain from seeing their wizard, Rama, as just Freddy Lenz, pushing their mind buttons behind a curtain. It has been a common practice of some Lenz followers to try to distract the authorities by constantly talking about other cults such as Scientology or the TMO. But, it might be time, after thrity years, to wake up from the dream - visit an exit counselor like Mike Doughney - and just put all this cultish behavior behind you. Find some meaningful work and stop dwelling in the past. http://ramalila.com/
