When and how can spirituality be bad? Janina Köck has been interested in this topic since she was 10. Today she is a Reiki expert and speaks frank and open about sensitive topics in this video.
The video is in German with subtitles in English, Español, Français, Português, Русский, Română.
Here are some excerpts (just click on the time):
9:23 Between self-congratulation and abuse.
12:20 The victim can no longer distinguish between truth and appearances.
17:32 When the teacher tends towards egomania.
20:23 Victims are portrayed as the wrongdoers.
27:13 When a pupil projects his/her ideal onto the teacher.
32:02 “No sex for six months”.
In addition, at 35:39 a video clip is played on “Buddhism and abuse of power: ‘Crazy wisdom’ and ethical behaviour, a contradiction?” The whole lecture by Corinne Frottier (in German) can be seen on YouTube (in German).
Despite the seriousness of the topics, there is a lot of laughter, often with a pinch of self-irony. In addition, solutions are also pointed out in the conversation. An inspiring and instructive episode of RTalk, recommended for students as well as teachers.
Also, note the feedback at the bottom.
