These are the guys that were bringing in The Dali Lama last year but under scruitiny, had to be cancelled. NXIVMs XIVMs are prototypes for a new civilization. The buildings themselves are a manifestation of human history, human potential, and cultural possibility. Each NXIVM will represent elements of all the different parts of human history, and the many developments of human culture and human awareness. Numerous exhibit rooms within the NXIVMs will depict specific periods of human civilization and the collective struggles and victories within each. Those interested in taking part in NXIVM will find different membership options to suit their needs and preferences. ---

Interesting. I’d like to see the inside of one of their buildings. Edit- woah wtf. Way too similar to Scientology. “Give us all of your wealth and we’ll help you.” Complete, utter brainwashing. ---

> [@Forbes Magazine](#): > > These days Raniere prefers to be called “Vanguard” by his followers. (His business partner, Nancy Salzman, 49, a former nurse and therapist and the public face of Executive Success, calls herself “Prefect.”) Raniere’s long, brown hair and beard make him look a little like Jesus, and his thoughtful demeanor could let him pass for a philosophy professor–or maybe a slacker poet. He has no driver’s license, relying on friends for rides and walking up to 12 miles a day. He says he has no bank account and that he forgoes any salary from the $4 million-a-year coaching program he created: “I consider everything payment for what I’ve done.” Though he co-owns a small house near Albany, N.Y. with a female friend, he spends most nights at one or another of three friends’ homes. He claims not to own a bed. “I live,” he says with a disarmingly warm smile, “a somewhat church-mouse-type existence.” [http://www.rickross.com/reference/esp/esp31.html](http://www.rickross.com/reference/esp/esp31.html) ---
