One Huge Ego
Oct. 27, 2020
Among the prizes in an auction for the First Nations Fund was one of Chuck Spezzano's loud Hawaiian shirts, which became his brand as his for-profit enterprise expanded along with his girth and enormous ego. Can you imagine the sort of inflated sense of self-importance it must take to believe your shirt is an item that people would actually pay money to acquire? Worse yet, can you imagine being the person who purchases it and is thrilled with possessing this thing?
Yet this practice of selling off shirts as if he was bestowing a Holy relic has been going on for years. The shirts themselves could be seen as a metaphor for many things. The Hawaiian pattern serves as a distraction not only from Chuck's obesity, a topic that is fair game from someone who is supposedly peddling responsible health, but also disarms the victim as their bank account is cleaned out in the course of spending big bucks on overpriced large group awareness trainings filled with inane platitudes as empty as the "Master's" shirt they are adding to their possessions.
The First Nations Fund is an unregistered charity that issues no public annual reports and is accountable to no one. The main purpose of this Fund is to supplement the incredibly expensive fees charged by the Spezzanos so that First Nations people in Canada can attend their "workshops," fulfilling the affinity fraud goal of the cult as outlined in Section K of their Psychology of Vision Trainers Manual (German version).
In 2018 the First Nations Fund apparently fell far short of helping POV pad their ranks with First Nations people at the pricey fiasco held in Whistler, BC. Lency went to Facebook to beg for more money, indicating the well was dry. Of course, since the charity has no public reports or transparency, we'll never really know how broke they were, will we?
Here's Lency in 2018--
Our First Nations Fund has been fundraising for this event all year to do what we can to help with food and lodging for First Nations participants to be able to attend (special thanks to those who participated in Chuck’s Jams Shirt auctions around the world!). But our team has realized that we could get more First Nations people there who want to attend if we could come up with some sponsorships for a daily food and travel per diem. That way, many more of those within driving distance of the event could attend. Most of us have little idea of the challenges of every kind that First Nations unfairly face daily, and in PoV we value giving support not only to those who most deserve it, but to those who can, perhaps, be this planet’s salvation. If you feel called to contribute, I promise you the ripple effect of your generosity will help, and help, and continue to help.
Although donations of any size are greatly appreciated, an easy and meaningful way to support this important Psychology of Vision work would be to make a donation for either a one day food and travel per diem of $50 USD, or the gift of the entire week’s food and travel needs, which would be $250 USD. If you are lucky enough to be in a position to help out and feel called to contribute to this event, thanks you so very much! If you can identify yourself to me below, we can figure out how to get your contribution, in your own currency (If that’s most convenient) to the event. We will provide documentation for your taxes if that is a help.

For people wanting to wire money to the First Nation Fund, please email Babs Stevens at: babs@haidagwaii.netI If you want to avoid having to pay the wiring fee to send a $50 donation, I think we will arrange for people like our Trainers or Mastery Program people attending the seminar from various countries to carry some of the donations of others with them.
I imagine that was a situation with the potential of some pretty sloppy accounting. We see Book Jenkins has some questions as well--
