Khalsa promises prosperity, good grades
By DOUGLAS BUTLER
Of the Emerald
Two months ago a new busi
ness opened in Eugene — a
counseling service that for $35
an hour promises to unlock
each person’s ability to get what
they want from life.
Khalsa Counselors offers
students in particular an avenue
along which they can achieve
high grades, healthy relation
ships and financial bliss, ac
cording to Clark Harris, one of
the business's four founders
and a University student.
Harris hopes to hold free
weekly meetings on campus to
demonstrate the capabilities of
Khalsa counseling.
He first became involved with
Khalsa counseling after finding
the techniques worked well for
his friends.
Harris and three of his friends
constructed their business from
a skeleton of Eastern thought
and Indian religion fleshed out
with Western psychology,
modern personal communica
tion techniques and California
style capitalism. Harris says this
amalgam can provide a key to
individual success.
Their principle source of
guidance comes from the Sikh
Dharma religion of India as en
unciated by Yogi Bhagan
‘Anywhere I go I think in
terms of making a profit.’
(pronounced BUH-gin).
Bhagan, who moved from India
to America in 1969 and now
lives in Los Angeles, teaches
the counselors, Harris says
"Yogi Bhagan has given us
the goal of the whole produc
tion. He has given the philo
sophy: Within each one of us,
we have the potential to achieve
unlimited prosperity. All that it
really takes is self-trust."
To bring their clients within
striking range of unlimited pros
perity, the counselors sort out
the specific goals and emotional
More money is a high priority
for many Khalsa clients, Harris
says. In response, Khalsa
Counselors created The Pros
perity Group, a seminar de
signed to help solve financial
problems with prosperous
thinking.
Harris explains how he thinks
prosperously, “Anywhere I go I
think in terms of making a profit.
When I fly to Dallas, I go first
class because that's where the
people with money sit.”
The atmosphere of the first
class section excites his interest

Fund has been established at

science and public
administration, according to
Douglas Wilson, executive dir
ector of the University Founda

stumbling blocks of their clients
and then teach them new ways
to look at life.
Along with hypnosis, they use
Neuro-Linguistic Programming,
Life Pattern Analysis and Ther
apy, and biokinesiology.
The final goal of these and
their numerous other tech
niques is to “enrich people, so
that they have the self-trust and
creativity to create the futures
they want," he says.

in making a profit, he says. He
once swapped an artist a paint
ing for some counseling while
riding there.
“Everything is profitable.
“Money is the symbol of pros
perity,’’ he says. "How much
can you give yourself on a ma
terial plane? Happy people will
have the money they want.”
As Khalsa literature describes
it, "You will experience more
money and prosperity . “ Har
ris says several of his clients
have experienced a threefold
increase in income since at
tending his counseling ses
sions.
However, money is no pan
acea, Harris warns.
“It’s not the key to financial
problems. It’s the creativity
goals you set. Money is just
paper.”
Even though The Prosperity
Group is preoccupied with profit
and money, Harris says it is
probably different from EST and
other achieving-your-potential
groups because it is based on a
“God-consciousness.”
He says their therapy is not
self-centered. “We are helping
society as a whole by doing our
part in improving the cons
ciousness of people. ”

Harris says one of the first
positive steps in his therapy is
breaking down emotional stum
bling blocks and bad life stra
tegies.
In the process of breaking the
old blocks, the counselors and
their clients form new strategies

In one method, the coun
selors ask clients to imagine
scenes that cause them distress
and simultaneously touch them
in a specific place.
Next the clients are asked to
imagine a scene where they felt
confident and are touched
somewhere else. The coun
selors then ask the clients to
recall the initial distressing
scene and touch them in both
places simultaneously.
Harris says this "anchors" the
feeling of confidence to the dis
tressing image in the client's
subconscious and thereby
provides a new way of perceiv
ing old problems
By getting a person to look in
a different direction while
recalling some bad experience,
the counselors can change that
person's thoughts from feelings
to images or from images to
feelings.
Harris says he helps support
his own consciousness with one
of his own techniques — an af
firmation.
“I, Clark, am willing to allow
more bliss, love and money into
my life.”
