I have experienced serving this Mr. Dreaming Bear fellow on numerous occasions. Let me say that without having any previous knowledge of this guy, I experienced an overtly rude, womanizing, and ungrateful person. A Prevailing spirit of self-intitlement and arrogance hung over this character like the stench of a Patchouli soaked hippie. The guy brings different women in to the restaurant, orders up big (special requests) expects "royal" treatment, and then passes the check to the woman lucky enough to be in his presence. This guy is a JOKE. Seriously! The irony of how he presents himself vs. how he acts is almost the text book definition of the term itself.

I suppose he thinks that his CA (conspicuous altruism) shtick adds a bit of depth to the poet/poseur/Nature Boy act. <br /><br />And oh my, I don't think I could find a more stellar example of one of my long-time complaints about New-Wage "culture": its obfuscatory ways with the English language (this is from the "four principles" list on the Loveolution web site): <br /><br />* Language for New Paradigms: ‘Lovevolution’ itself as a namesake represents the synthesis of commonalities between emerging scientific understandings and practically evolving perennial philosophies. The Lovevolution phenomenon institutes a new paradigmatic language, which rearticulate's outdated narratives of old limitation thinking. By growing the conceptual understandings of existence beyond a constricted consensus of what is possible, ‘lovevolutionary languaging’ naturally contributes to a new and expanded ‘multiversal’ worldview.<br /><br />####<br /><br />Damn.

(BTW he never seems to care about how her injuries affected her life) I have personally witnessed times he used the wheelchair to gain sympathy and get people, usually women to dote over him. He is in Ireland what is referred to as a 'gobshite cornerboy' and he hasn't learned to wear his words. The harm he does comes from charging for services, pretending to be able to help others with 'conditions' he can't even help himself with. He is no shaman, no healer, no anything but a new age fraud, poseur full of himself to the point he is 'gag me' sickening.

I'm no girlfriend or devotee and I don't want to be. I don't call myself enlightened or worship Tilak. Think and gossip all you want but I feel compelled to share some light on his medical situation, as someone who has accompanied him on several trips to the hospital and has seen his MRI's. The wheelchair is no act. I don't see how he can scam an MRI and numerous doctors. He has some pretty serious issues with his back that will likely haunt him for the rest of his life. The surgical procedures he has undertaken will likely get him back on his feet soon but his condition is degenerative and most likely he will find himself unable to walk again. He'd much rather be recognized for his poetry, not for being in a wheelchair.

Furthermore, Dreaming-Bear is certainly welcome to refute them.<BR/><BR/>That said, Anon's statement is pretty consistent with my impression of D-B, right down to my suspicion that the wheelchair is part of an act. One of his defenders above wrote, "We have so much exploitation of the feminine in the media so to me D-B and all he expresses on stage adds up to alot of healing for women worldwide." It seems that there's more than one way of "exploiting the feminine," and D-B has found a terrific way to do it.<BR/><BR/>Oprah, you've been warned!Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31759120.post-66997978628957747912008-10-23T08:04:00.000-05:002008-10-23T08:04:00.000-05:00Hey!HOW refreshing to have ONE realistic TRUTHFUL ...Hey!<BR/><BR/>HOW refreshing to have ONE realistic TRUTHFUL account of what DB is like on the web !!!!<BR/><BR/>I lived on Maui and saw his little games. <BR/>Yes he manipulates and hurts women and sleeps around like a sleazy fratboy -- and with as much respect for women (more on that later).<BR/><BR/>But what I find really appalling is that it still works-- he even seems to be touring with Ram Dass....GOD!!! <BR/><BR/> It is all fluff! he IS AN ACTOR for G's sake. He told me himself: he was tired of doing the struggling actor thing... <BR/>and VOila! got himself into a nice little Gig of Pseudo Prophet.<BR/><BR/>His Goal in Life? OPRAH.<BR/>He is doing all this brouaha to get on Oprah!<BR/><BR/>I even think that his little wheelchair stint is just part of his ACT. <BR/><BR/>One day soon, he ll get up from it and tell us MORE ON HOW HE has suffered and Learned. And hopefully--- wheelchair (AND MIRACLE) will get him straight to OPrah's show.. and she ll talk about his books.. and he will makes loads of mullah.<BR/>That and be worshipped some more. And get laid some more.<BR/><BR/>Am not a cynic. Have just seen and gotten to know him enough to know how he operates and thinks.<BR/><BR/> Living on Maui I ran into a few heartbroken girls he used. It seems his free-loving pansexual thing is never quite so open--- it s never "it's just sex baby" but more like "I love you-- you re the only one" probaly because you get so much more from a woman like that. <BR/>Quite a few have become his cook/ maid/ assistant like this-- buying him food etc.... The cherry on top of the cake? Unprotected sex of course ( he loves me! there is only ME!) and --ahem... he even "plants his seed" without even asking permission. I met a girl who ran around Maui vowing to cut his head off after such an encounter.<BR/><BR/>I am really scared by the thought that this guy still has a following. And by the amount of lies and deception he engineers.<BR/><BR/>Other new age leaders may take advantage of the groupie factor-- but at least have something worthy to say (Osho for ex.).

Call me really unreal, but... while you see an "openly loving" male up there on stage, I see and hear a ham who's full of himself and isn't above exploiting sex and spirituality to win fans and to get laid. Which, of course, is no different from what many New-Wage "leaders" and "gurus" of both genders do all the time. <BR/><BR/>Does the world really need more of that?<BR/><BR/>Actually, take spirituality from the mix and what D-B does is no different from what a lot of rock stars have always done too. And I probably have no room to talk about D-B, since as a teenager I had a hopeless crush on the late Jim Morrison. Talk about a poser who was full of himself... <BR/><BR/>Hmmm... maybe if D-B had been around when I was a teenager I would been taken by his "charms." But he wasn't and I'm not.<BR/><BR/>However, I do find D-B to be very entertaining, and as long as he doesn't do his trolling for dates among underage prey, I imagine he's relatively harmless. <BR/><BR/>As for me, I'm gonna go listen to "When The Music's Over"....Cosmic Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425191794680677900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31759120.post-57961348538338276932008-08-10T00:20:00.000-05:002008-08-10T00:20:00.000-05:00Getting really real means transcending the judgeme...Getting really real means transcending the judgement and looking at the basic message D-B is sending out.
