Psychology of Vision Hates Oneness University

The following two quotes make it very clear Psychology of Vision is not to be confused with Oneness University. Although, contrary to what the Spezzanos say, documents provided on this blog demonstrate that Oneness University had a major impact on POV for several years. For reasons yet known to the general public POV made a decision to erase all references to Oneness University and Sri Bhagavan and Amma from their online promotional literature and resumes. But a good researcher can still find a few traces here and there, POV missed some spots in the purge.

"What Is The Nature of The Relationship Between Psychology of Vision And Oneness University?

There is no relationship between the two organizations. Some of us attended healing programs there years ago, but for a number of reasons it felt true to me to distance Psychology of Vision from Oneness U. For about a year after making that decision, I stated in my seminars that I did not recommend that people attend their programs."

--Lency Spezzano

"My parents also have NO affiliation whatsoever with Oneness University. They and some of their students attended some of their courses a number of years ago, but were shocked and disgusted to learn about some of their practices. My mom actually spearheaded a campaign to learn and expose the truth about Oneness University. My parents do not support their practices, community, or methods. They have wanted nothing to do with that organization once they had an opportunity to learn more about them. They adamantly steer people away from that organization, their practices, and beliefs. They would NOT want their students to be affiliated with that organization in any capacity."

--Christopher Spezzano

Yet there remain several POV followers, some of them trainers, who still profess to like Oneness University and continue to perform Deeksha blessings (a practice that did not exist in POV until the Spezzanos attended OU in 2007). So obviously these POV trainers and followers have been able to reconcile these differences and move on in spite of the Spezzano opinions, if indeed they were even aware of this schism. The POV split from Oneness University, which was once counted as one of their two "greatest inspirations" is fascinating, as well as the tremendous effort spent in minimizing and covering up their past association. Why did they do this? What happened, and when?

Personally I cannot spot what the big problem is. As far as I can see POV and OU are pretty much the same sort of business. So this interests me and I want to be educated on this issue.  


The gentleman in the website below that I am including as a good example is just one of several who has a foot in both camps, which is fairly common to see in Internet. POV and OU overlap to the same customer market a good deal of the time:
