Those of us who watch Psychology of Vision from the outside do not know the exact reasons why Lency Spezzano and her son Christopher have expressed such disdain and disgust over Amma, Bhagavan, and Oneness University, but we do know they hate the place.
Starting in 2007 when the Spezzanos attended Oneness University in India, they gave glowing reports of the institution. The Spezzanos became "Oneness Blessing Givers" and employed the word "Deeksha" in their lingo. In POV literature, Oneness University and A Course in Miracles were counted as the Spezzanos two greatest inspirations.
This love affair appears to have come to an end around 2010-2012. And even though the Spezzanos have tried hard to erase all signs in early 2014 that they were enamored of the rival cult, many traces remain online. Also, Oneness University lives on, uncredited, in much of the POV curriculum.
Pam Carruthers, a "soul astrologer," former POV trainer, and current POV spinoff Steps to Leadership trainer in the UK, apparently got the memo to drop all mention of being a Oneness Blessing Giver.
