I see Surya Ma (The Slayer of Illusion) has revamped her website and changed her meta tags (sneaky!) however I see she is still relying on the same old lies to suck in the spiritually confused! Just go to this page on her website http://www.universalteachings.org/Testimonials.html Look at the testimonials with the headline "Testimonials of Love and Gratitude."
Does anyone still believe this rubbish? Far from being a "Slayer of Illusion" she is using old testimonials to keep the illusion going! Just look at the three 'testimonials' below these people are long gone having being allegedly abused physically and / or mentally or, as in the case of David Kushner, allegedly robbed! The idea that they would now be giving 'Devil' West a testimonial (as if they have a choice) is utterly preposterous!
Read the testimonial as featured on her website (in italics) then read (or listen) to learn about this person's last interactions with the "Divine One" or is Surya Ma or is it plain old Deborah West discharged bankrupt now self appointed deity!
"After 27 years studying with teachers claiming mastery, I have found that Devra, Surya Ma, is the only one actually achieving enlightenment and truly dedicated to teaching with no holds barred." Susanna Felder, Ph.D., Fairfield, Iowa
Reality. I joined the charity in late 2001 and Susanah was long gone by then; surely Surya Ma has performed many other miracles over the past 7 or 8 years? According to various witnesses it is alleged that Susanah Felder got into a physical fight with Devra West that was so vicious that part of Susanah's scalp was removed! I am sure Susanah felt a lot of love and gratitude for that experience! Listen to what A J White, former board member of one of West's now defunct charity's had to say about Susanah Felder's last interactions with West. Click on this link to hear the audio file.
"One of the most profound things Master Teacher Surya Ma has said to me is, "You are new in my eyes every single day." The timeless light in her eyes bespeaks her love and her abidance in the unchanging sight of God that sees only perfection. In the eight years I have studied with her, she has carried me, guided me, and loved me, through the darkest nights of my soul with her unending grace. The profundity of her love, as it has been demonstrated to me again and again, leaves me speechless. Her life example is a true mirror for my Godliness, and I am certain that my commitment to achieve fully-embodied enlightenment is inevitable under her care and precise direction. Nothing short of my achievement of this goal would be gratitude enough for what she has done for me." A. George, seeker, internet technician, Hamilton, Montana
Reality. This young lady was a fully brainwashed inductee of the cult who was regularly physically and mentally abused by the "Divine One" (Devil West) I know because I was there and I saw it. Last time I saw this girl was in 2004 and she was moving to Hawaii. Listen to what Devil West's house keeper at the time said about Surya Ma's (as she is now called) treatment of A. George.

"The Path of Healer-ship is not only the natural continuation of the Path of Enlightenment, but each day spent is more valuable, shining even greater light on your soul's purpose. This program is about becoming the person you were meant to be, and taking on the true mantle of spiritual responsibility for all aspects of your life." David M. Kushner, MD, Radiologist, Cleveland, OH
Reality. David Kushner called me at home in 2004 to tell me that he had allegedly been robbed of $30,000 by Devil West. He had agreed to lend her the money on condition that it was repaid within 2 weeks when her loans, so the story goes, were being refinanced! Click on link to hear David. He never got the money back! At the same time he told me about Devra West's alleged physical abuse of Marion Cantwell who, he further alleges, had thousands of dollars extorted from her by Devra West! David alleges that Marion was told by West that if she spoke about this to anyone she would be killed! Click on the link to hear David.
Now, can you really see any of these three people wanting to give a testimonial to West? West is running a cult whose main purpose is to suck in the unwary (using a flashy website and dishonest "testiminials") to dupe the public into thinking she is the new Messiah instead of just a common crook who wants their money?
Now here are some REAL testimonials for the "Surya Ma," given by her ex staff - that is house keepers, secretaries, managers, 'teachers,' board members of charities etc. These people got sucked in by the lies and have since left the cult. I have about 150 of these 'processed' 'statements' and could have about double that if I wanted to process more but here are just 20!
1. AJ White ex board member of West Charity on donations diverted to West personally.
2. Barbara Costantino ex personal secretary to West on West rewriting history when someone leaves.
3. Deborah Coffey ex "teacher / facilitator to West's "school" on manipulation of students
4. Cindy Beeman ex manager on West's mood swings.
5. Cindy Beeman on Wests mental health and abuse of Anandra George.
6. Kathleen Francisco ex house keeper on working conditions at West's home.
7. Kathleen Francisco on checks bouncing and West's expensive lifestyle.
8. Kathleen Francisco on the cult, mind control and how it is used to extract money!
9. Kathleen Francisco on dreading going to work and the nightmares.
10. Diane Stoner ex secretary on shredding documents and the deceit.
11. Roger Hill ex manager on West's extravagence with charity money.
12. Diane Stoner on West's abusive behaviour and brain washing.

And now from Surya Ma in her own voice unguarded "testimonials" from the person behind the mask!
21. I dispose of people like Kleenex!
22. I'll get down and dirty (if you take me to court!)
23. You are F**king over a Spiritual Teacher!
