EnlightenNext is a Berkshire resource

Full story: Berkshire Eagle

We were extremely disappointed in The Berkshire Eagle coverage of the sale of the EnlightenNext property in Lenox Enlighten Next is not a "club" anymore than The Berkshire Eagle is a newsletter.

Cult members write about their cult. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

To quote the Eagle, "Although EnlightenNext has a relatively benign reputation in the Berkshires, founder Cohen has generated some criticism over the years from many of his followers and former employees, including his mother, Lana Tarlo.

Tarlo has written a book, "Mother of God," about her experiences as a disciple of Cohen. The book, according to reviews, details Tarlo's accusations. She accuses her son of cruelty, self-glorification and mistreatment of his followers, including her."

Does a Mother make these accusations without cause? The nature of abusers is that they make themselves look kind and loving. Yes people from EnlightenNext are lovely, but doesn't this give pause to a thinking person?

I've met a few of the people from this cult. They are the most tight lipped and secretive people I've ever met.

The sooner they leave, the better. And since when do you direct people to the website of an organization to find a 'balanced presentation'? Sounds like the letter writers have been indoctrinated pretty well.

I disagree about it being "our loss." I have some relatives who were taken with this guy, but fortunately after a while they realized he was simply pushing the new age garbage and making a fine living indeed.

Their take he is a deceitful huckster.

EnlightenNext is a Berkshire Embarrassment

Only those drunk on Cohen Koolaid will find anything to regret in the cult's departure.

Three books full of revelations about this huckster including one by his own Mom!

The latest book, by a former member of the EnlightenNext Board of Directors, details dozens of abuses. You can read excerpts on the American Guru website:

Daily Horoscope for February 12

Sagittarius

The day may start out on a high note, but sometime this afternoon you may be feeling uneasy. Not to worry, it's just the beginning of your lunar low cycle, which may drain your energy. This is just Nature's way of telling you to slow down and recharge your spiritual batteries. You may want to schedule time for a long bubble bath or a massage from your partner this evening.
