To begin, I am not posting this to criticize author's theory/true/reality. I have not read the book.
I've been always pretty materialistic person who recently appeared to be woken up to a completely different world or reality. I am exploring it now. I'm finding lots of amazing stuff every day, but lots of deception and disinformation in the same time, so I've learned to always verify.
Reason I came into Dr Tom Chalko is the Aura. I googled it and came into his website thiaoouba.com.
I found it very enlightening and I immediately believed everything he says there about Aura, Drug Free Society or Meditation.
The one suspicious thing I found is the article regarding dangers of Global Warming.
I already know that propaganda has infiltrated into almost everything these days, so I always make up my mind only after doing some more research.
I must say I've found this thread very interesting to read through. It is not because I would find the information in all arguments and statements so helpful, it is because of the statistics I retrieved from it:
Simply, these users came to this thread to defend the book/TP:
the light (1 posts) -> he sounds to me like an author of the book, but I might be wrong

Majority of these users created their accounts just to come to advocate the book/philosophy and haven't been involved in any other threads. It also appears to me that some of these users use the same way how they phrase and express their thoughts so it gives me an impression that we have one person with multiple nicks here likely.
It would be interesting to see the IP address report for these nicks.
What conclusion or speculation can be done from this? For me it's these possible scenarios:
1. Author has many followers that found this thread and came to defend him.
This theory is possible, however I have also my very favorite authors and I would never go to any forum just to defend them. I see no reason for that, because all authors must have some critics and you would spend a life time to go around discussions to defend them.
2. Author came here and used multiple nicks to advocate himself.
If that's the case, then he discredited himself just by doing it. Why would you use multiple nicks? Are you I afraid that people will stop listening to you? Are you a split personalities and find it natural to appear in multiple identities? Do you want to make impression that you have many followers? Possibly
3. It is a conspiracy and someone used multiple nicknames to discredit him -> hmmm
4. Author employs a group of people that do the propaganda for him. -> This theory supports the fact his page comes in front of the list when you google "aura". So money must be involved in it unless this page get lots of hits naturally.
I am not saying it's definitely one of these four. However I am a bit worried of the option two. It could be actually dangerous to practice the spirituality the author's way as you can become a mind controlled split personality victim
But seriously, I am definitely going to do more research regarding spirituality, although I've already seen some false Messiahs, like the Transcendental Mediation vs. D. Lynch, The Secret or the guy called Richard C. Hoagland who's knowledge is used for Evil purpose.
So my main point is - never trust to any "whistle-blower" until you verify the information yourself. You have been warned!
