Since meeting that woman, I have come across<br />
several other women who have shared a similar<br />
experience and it has left me highly sceptical of<br />
the 'New Age' scene.<br />
Theo, and he is by far not the only one, surrounds<br />
himself with groups of women who all seem to<br />
believe he is some kind of 'Higher Vibrational<br />
Being'. Many have also worked in his shop or<br />
attended festivals with him whilst he has plied<br />
them with free crystals and drugs.<br />
Being surrounded by all these women also gives<br />
a false impression that he is trustworthy and safe<br />
whereas I now realise he is a sexual predator who<br />
preys on women looking for answers to a better<br />
life, finding a soulmate or to ease their pain.<br />
He reminds me of an esoteric Pied Piper, using<br />
shiny stones to lure his prey and the more I think<br />
about it, the more convinced I am that Theo sees<br />
himself as some kind of cult leader, albeit on a<br />
much more provincial scale.<br />
He even talks the language of cults:<br />
*Portals<br />
*Transformation<br />
*Activation<br />
*Consciousness<br />
*Reprogramming<br />
*Enlightenment.<br />
All designed to draw in women looking for<br />
answers. With Theo, there is also an obsession<br />
with phallic objects like the crystals and wands<br />
and, what worries me most, is how the recently<br />
bereaved, victims of abuse and rape, the newly<br />
divorced, newly single or terminally ill will<br />
invariably come into contact with him and there is<br />
nothing to stop Theo and other unscrupulous and<br />
exploitative people like him.<br />
How many people has he offered a joint to,before<br />
telling them that the best way of ridding<br />
themselves of the ties of past relationships is to<br />
have sex with someone else?<br />
It worries me that preys on the vulnerable.<br />
It worries me a lot.<br />
