1 out of 5 stars Struck Dumb, March 21, 2003
Reviewer: Ivan Osokin from Moscow, Russia
Girard Haven: (page 145, Appendix B): "And, because this is Robert's school, and because I am trying to follow his lead, I speak about it [Haven's stroke] as a shock delivered by C Influence, as if an angel or god pinched off a particular blood vessel in my brain, but I really have no direct experience of that."

First, Girard Haven spent the last 30 years as a desk-jockey, writing inspirational formulations for the Fellowship of Friends and as the main computer programmer of the multi-million dollar enterprise called the church of the Fellowship of Friends, it is now fairly well-known in the medical community that people sitting at desks for years of their lives are suffering strokes due to blood clots in the legs, so these "gods and angels" must really be getting around. Second, for ex-Fellowship members, the interpretation of the 'stroke shock' develops in this fashion: Girard Haven, Robert Burton's foremost 'student' and 'traveling teacher,' was struck "dumb," left unable to talk for several years--the shock is clear, "shut up." Haven was left physically disabled, the shock is clear: the Fellowship of Friends produces "broken machines" both literally and figuratively.

The external is a reflection of the internal. Girard Haven is in his 50's, yet physically he is walleyed and half-blind, he is half crippled but nevertheless projects himself from his chair with an over-confident sense of authority afforded to him as minister of a cult of people emotionally enslaved to the psychological criminal Robert Burton, Haven's boss. Through the chief feature of "smugness" Haven administrates and lectures in the cult of the Fellowship of Friends where he is proclaimed a "man number five." Haven has spent the last 20 years producing three volumes of formatory tedium chronicling his rise to "consciousness." The books are pure silliness, they demonstrate that some people, Girard in particular, simply do not possess a significant enough IQ to understand the Fourth Way, much less actually practice it. The books are a tribute to ignorant distortion. The Fellowship of Friends is truly one of the most bizarre practical jokes the Gods have ever played on those lost in this world with a thirst for consciousness, but without the development of an adequate critical discernment. Burton, the "teacher" of this "school," spends most of his time and energy (according to reports) convincing non-homosexual male "students" that C influence wants them to unzip, and after 30 years of this activity has personally selected a half-blind, half crippled mental midget to represent him as his "man number five." Hilarious.
