Chuck Spezzano in London, 2007, where he puts the audience through an exercise.
"It's just an energy transfer, it's called a Deeksha Blessing."

[Update: The Oneness University reference was removed from this link in early 2014]
Chuck says he was enlightened by the Oneness University. Oneness Movement is a scam, critique of it can be found here http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/deeksha_oneness.html and elsewhere online. Part of the scam is oneness blessings/ deeksha. http://www.onenessuniversity.org/index.php/what-we-offer [Update: Dead link] The Spezzanos do their own version of these blessings.

Joining is an emotional healing exercise used for thousands of years in our human history. The Yogi's call it Gazing, in Psychology of Vision it is a very integral part of healing through love, and becoming emotionally mature.

An example of how they've made inroads in First Nations communities in Canada: this grant of $475,300.00 was supposed to aid residential school survivors, instead it further traumatized people by spreading Psychology of Vision trainings. http://www.ahf.ca/funded-projects/british-columbia/ngystle-society All the directors of the group that got this grant are 100 plus day grads of the Spezzano trainings.
One of the many programs is Steps to Leadership - "made up of 30 modules: 27 three-hour modules and 3 full-day workshops".

Steps to Leadership Facilitators
This 30-module course was written by Jeff Allen and is designed for use in small groups. The facilitators are people who feel strongly called to help others understand their lives through the Psychology of Vision model. They need not be trainers or 100-day graduates but must have completed a significant number of Psychology of Vision days, around 70, before being approved.

The Spezzanos specifically target communities. They go after leaders, who work (and pay) their way up the ladder of the POV hierarchy. Some of those leaders have control of finances, grant money, they influence dramatically their own tight knit communities.
The money making machines the Spezzanos have built is dizzying to research. A good antidote to all this b.s. is humor, this blogger is critiquing Lency Spezzano videos: http://www.mortythedog.com/search/label/Lency%20Spezzano [Update: Dead link]
Warning signs of a potential unsafe group/leader http://www.culteducation.com/warningsigns.html
My guess is the Spezzanos will use the fact that public outrage is building as fuel for their own manipulation of followers, they will claim that this is evidence of dark forces allied against them, they will claim that everyone needs to do more processing in response.

"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
That POV Canada website still claims "There are currently 50 Psychology of Vision Trainers who teach worldwide" but I count less than half of that number now.
I would like to learn more about why Lency and Christopher do not approve of Oneness University. From what I can see that institution was once revered and held in high esteem by Psychology of Vision and had a huge influence on the Spezzanos. I do not understand the hostility the Spezzanos currently have.
I have searched Internet thoroughly and can locate no online evidence of the Spezzanos campaigning against Oneness University prior to late 2013/early 2014, about 7 years after they attended that institution and brought many of the Amma and Bhagavan concepts into POV.
