Chuck Spezzano Drinking Game!

July 28, 2020

These days you'll find Chuck Spezzano either in his Oahu McMansion compound or his luxury condo on the northern tip of the island giving online "workshops" or fluff marketing interviews as the pandemic prevents him from directly interfering in the lives of vulnerable (and affluent) chumps victims clients in person. This means he cannot use hypnosis or physically bully or intimidate people by using Hitler-apologist Burt Hellinger's "family constellations" role-playing parlor game.

We are seeing a lot more of Spezzano online during this era, so many times in such a concentrated span that we realize he is like one of those Mattel talking dolls where you pull the string and it says one of about a dozen pre-set cliches over and over and over as he tries to market God as a commercial commodity. 

So, let's have some fun-- the Chuck Spezzano Drinking Game!

Truth to tell, most of us in this loose confederation of POV critics do not encourage drinking games since we know the destructive power of alcohol in family dysfunction. But it seems Psychology of Vision does not recognize this as a fact, so really this game is devised mostly for the POV trainers. If you track photos and video of POV gatherings you'll see the booze flows quite freely. It is so unprofessional, but then again, no one in Psychology of Vision, including the Spezzanos, are professionals. The State of Hawaii officially deemed Chuck as such in 2004 when they dinged him for pretending to be a "Psychologist."

So, POV trainers, prepare your alcoholic drink of choice ahead of time, one gulp per point, and I promise you'll be shitfaced within an hour. For those of you who are not POV trainers but will play the game anyway, I'm sure you'll be glad you are not sober after you have managed to endure any Spezzano presentation longer than 15 minutes.

And remember, don't play this game if you plan on driving anywhere within the next 48 hours.

The points, 1 swallow each.

• --Spezzano mentions how many years he has been in this work. He usually dates it back to the early 1970s, a somewhat dubious claim.
• --He says he was a "psychologist" with a US Navy rehab facility. In fact he was indeed a civilian employee of the Navy, but never as a "psychologist" in the real world sense. 
• --He mentions how many books he has written.
• --He mentions his latest book or card set.
• --He says that we all made a promise before we had bodies, but is rather vague on what that means.
• --He tells a dirty joke (you might have several drinks before this one is over)
• ----Bonus: The dirty joke has a punchline, "If it swells, ride it."
• ----Bonus: The dirty joke has the punchline, "I became an expert at just pulling back the covers and if you don't believe me you can ask my wife"
• --When his host or interviewer nervously titters at Chuck's dirty jokes.
• --He tells a racist or ethnic joke.
• ----Bonus: The ethnic dirty joke is that when he walks in the door and says "I'm home," that's Italian foreplay.
• ----Bonus: Mentions the cross-eyed Samurai.
• --When his host or interviewer nervously titters at Chuck's racist or ethnic jokes.
• --Even without the dirty joke attached, Spezzano makes a reference to "riding the wave" as a way to survive the pandemic.
• --He criticizes "political correctness."
• --He mentions how he discovered hypnosis or NLP as a "fast track" healing method with the Navy in the 1970s.
• --He claims, falsely, his Ph.D. is in "counseling psychology." His degree is actually in an exotic and useless "professional psychology" degree and not accredited by the APA which means he bypassed any national standard.
• --He refers to himself as "Dr. Chuck Spezzano."
• --He makes a reference to past lives.
• --He says he is sensitive to energy.
• --He tells the story about a First Nations rape victim.
• --He uses the term "split mind."
• --He makes reference to A Course in Miracles. 
• --He blames the ego for wanting to be independent from God.
• --He uses the term "Oneness" yet somehow excludes what used to be one of his two "greatest inspirations," Oneness University.
• --Although since the virus has arrived he is giving free events, he pitches a future pay-per-view happening.
• --He uses the term "pressure cooker" when describing home life during the pandemic (oh really, Chuck? How interesting)
• --He uses the term "upwelling" regarding the pandemic.
• --He uses the term "soul level of the mind"

• --He makes reference to a "soul purpose."
• --He tells us what God and Heaven want for us.
• --He says he has "worked with" people who has survived catastrophic health circumstances and suggests he had something to do with it.
• --Claims he invented his own methods for healing (We have yet to find anything to back this up. Every method he uses has been swiped from another, usually without attribution. This is partly why he has been excluded from Wikipedia)
• --He mentions "soul patterns."
• --He mentions "spiritual masters" or "highest levels of spirituality."
• --He mentions "The Voice" and how it instructed him at key periods in his life.
• --He displays a disdain for true professional or academic expertise.
• --He tells you not to forget to laugh. Don't worry, Chuck. As long as you are around with these insipid online shows, we're OK on that one.

By now you are probably close to comatose. But here's the really funny part, you don't even need to be drinking to achieve that mental state after sitting through an entire Spezzano video. So you can play the Chuck Spezzano Drinking Game without the drinking at all and have the advantage of waking up the next morning without the physical hangover, only the mental hangover of being exposed to an infomercial by a third rate whineybutt New Age huckster.

Most of us in our little ragtag group of POV critics are contemporaries of the Spezzanos. If life was like the movie The Big Chill, the Spezzanos would play the part of the Boomer sellouts.

Both Spezzanos started out on altruistic paths and ended up as egocentric greedy victimizers beginning during the Reagan years. I mean c'mon Chuck, over $1100 an hour for a personal consultation? Jeez. How Trumpian. And as such they have fallen victim to the disease John de Graaf calls "Affluenza." Chuck and Lency have, through maintaining their very materialistic lifestyle complete with a servant class (not only for the home but also extended to how they treat others in the steep POV hierarchy), cornered themselves into a financial economic trap during this pandemic, apparently never believing their money flow would ever slow down to the point that it apparently has. They want to keep their brand alive and so are forced into free events and lowering their "workshop" fees.
