Nearly 2.5 months have passed since the release of Robert Masters’ (RAM) latests book https://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Your-Shadow-Out-Dark-ebook/dp/B079GKCWFF. No readers comments are availed up to now. Apparently, RAM has made sure that no readers comments are permitted on Amazon. It seems to me that RAM has “ordered” to close the comment section in his last three video interviews 2016–2018. Once critical comments were delivered they were turned off (comments deleted) or they were never opened from start.

Here is RAM’s latest audio interview with his publisher Sounds True, ‘’Robert Augustus Masters: The Depthless Depth of Shadow Work’’, presented by Insights at the Edge, host, founder and director Tami Simon, 1:03:19 duration, aired 27. November 2018

Sounds True and RAM felt the need FINALLY to delve (a little bit) into RAM’s unredeemed past, his “experimental community” Xanthyros (1986–1994).
NOTE: Again RAM does not even mention the cult Xanthyros by name. So no one might google for it. (There is little to be found on it anyway.) RAM and his publisher/host want to keep control about the narrative — even after disclosure. No mention of Be’s above article. No mention of RAM’s critics.
Again RAM stated “I disbanded the community” — Members had fled the cult (fearing for dear life), there was nothing to disband any longer.

RAM elaborates on his shame and newfound empathy after his 4MeO-DMT drug intake. There is no mention that his re-found shame/empathy led him to make amends (pay reparation) for his abuses. His child victims are still traumatized.
Ok, he admitted being a lifelong learner in cleaning up his shadow. His past is not cleaned up — to this very day. RAM mentions how he (theoretically) got close again with his victims — NONE OF THAT has happened. No physical restitution paid. His apology letters were to prevent prosecution and to save face.

RAM says not only is the teacher RESPONSIBLE for cultic development, but the students as well. Fair enough. His former members are still crushed and have lost hope to gain full restitution, unwilling to spend money, time and energy to go to court with RAM. Those who have addressed the self-aggrandizing master Masters directly found that he ignored them, blocked them, fled them, or gave them the silent treatment.

RAM and Tami Simon both fail to mention that he had rushed to delete the “shameful” part of his undated October 16 statement “Clarifying My Past”
