Fall 2008 Updates
Extortion Conspiracy Unravels

In short, truth has and will prevail. The character assassination of Devra Surya Ma orchestrated by John Watson & Pat Cole has lost all credibility. Legal officials and local newspaper editors have determined that the onslaught of fabricated allegations made about Dr. West have no basis or substance. The extortion scam stands exposed for what it is and the scheme, fanned into flame on the flimsy ground of small town religious prejudice, has failed. Each and every issue is being overturned and addressed to reflect the truth of the circumstances.

Labor Board Rules in Dr. Devra West’s Favor: Even though the state of Montana is a pro-employee state on employment issues, the board ruled against Rebecca West’s (no relation) non-employment wage claim of unfair employment practices and workplace harassment, finding no such claims to be valid. Rebecca was victimized by Watson and enticed into his scheme by the promise of a big settlement payoff from Dr. West. The conspiracy scam to fraud state officials with false claims against Dr. West was duly exposed.

TRUTH: No inappropriate behavior with employees has ever occurred. Devra Surya Ma’s company Surya Enterprises operates at the highest levels that would be expected of a Master Teacher. A beautiful and harmonious office environment is operative without exception, as personally stated and supported by all of our employees.

Court Rules to Dismiss Assault Case: Legal officials, who reviewed the false assault allegations against Dr. West, determined that the claims made by Pat Cole (and said to have been authored by John Watson) lacked the plausibility or credence to be heard by a judge and jury. Irregularities perpetrated by Cole, more than indicated that there was far more to the real story of Cole’s direct involvement in the conspiracy to entrap and discredit Dr. West, Dr. West pleaded not guilty and accepted a no-contest to case being dismissed six months from the time of the determination. The state of Montana will expunge the assault claim from its records as of October 23rd 2008, which effectively clears Dr. West from all charges.

TRUTH: No assault took place. The bogus legal report filed by Dr. Pat Cole was ludicrous by all standards. Cole’s misguided attempt to entrap Dr. West was a ploy motivated by Cole’s need to cover-up her financial fraud, as well as to hide her medical malpractice issues that had been divulged to Dr. West. Cole, a medical doctor, also resented Dr. West’s refused to allow her to attend a healing training program, due to Cole’s lack of morality and professional integrity.

IRS Finds No Irregularities in Dr. West’s Finances: After over a year of a painstaking IRS investigation into Dr. West financial records, officials have informed us that no irregularities of any kind have been found. Incriminating claims made by John Watson and Pat Cole, who initiated the investigation with wildly unfounded accusations of tax evasion, are determined to be without merit. Dr. West’s tax returns have routinely been prepared by one of the state’s most reputable accounting firms.

TRUTH: Dr. West has never been involved with any financial irregularity and maintains the highest standards of personal and professional integrity. Her income tax returns reviewed by the IRS going back to 1994, have been approved as being in order. Her purely altruistic and philanthropic record speaks for itself and more than substantiates her enormous generosity, which has unfortunately been targeted by greed-driven scam artists like John Watson. We expect to post the IRS’s official letter of release and exoneration on our rebuttal site by mid-October.

Millennia Mind Dispute with John Watson: In July 2008, a judge ruled in favor of a sanction award, due to a technical error and oversight on dates. Contrary to Watson’s claims of a “Big Win”, a petition by Dr. West’s legal team to rescind or appeal this judgment is being filed. Lawsuits have also been filed against John Watson for his many criminal acts against Dr. West and her family and will be diligently pursued by Dr. West’s legal team.

TRUTH: No contract between Dr. West and John Watson has ever existed. Watson was rightly deemed as being unsuitable for inclusion in Dr. West’s endeavors. His proposals were declined. The legal dispute was fabricated by Watson to leverage an extortion scam. Watson deluded demands for a seven-figure settlement, are made with written threats that he will amp-up his slander campaign, if Dr. West doesn’t comply. Dr. West has no intentions of either responding or complying with his demented extortion scam. No settlement of any kind with Watson will be considered.

Financial Records Refute all Gossip and Accusations: Please review the graphs below, which track Dr. West’s financial records and altruistic giving of her personal and professional funds. Please also note, that compliance to federal laws regarding the ratio of monies going to the non-profit mission statement rather than to overhead, was more than met with flying colors, substantially above typical standards for non-profits.

TRUTH: Dr. West gave over 80% of her teaching income to the non-profit, whose over-head and project costs far exceeded its fundraising efforts. Dr. West personally covered shortfalls for projects and their overhead. Moreover, to expect Dr. West's teaching income and sole livelihood to continually finance the non-profit's entire roster of projects was unrealistic, as well as an assumption of entitlement. As a result, ownership of the Montana retreat property was transferred to Dr. West, due to a lack of interest of the non-profit to finance it. The transaction was handled by professionals and approved by the state of Montana.

Summary: The non-profit Divine Unity and the Sacred Arts Institute enjoyed many years of financial abundance due to Dr. West’s profound generosity, but failed to execute its mission statement to administrate, finance and further Dr. West’s work, in their sponsorship of the Universal Teachings of Wisdom. Dr. West resigned in 2003 and has since restructured her endeavors to reflect both economic abundance and reciprocal balance, which are primary principles of her teachings for enlightened living as well as her life example.
 

 

The truth is in black and white. Contrary to John Watson’s accusations and deliberate orchestration of malicious gossip and slander, Dr. West funded SAI and it’s programs with over $12M from her teaching revenue during her 10-year tenure. She resigned from the non-profit in January of 2003 with $6.5M being owned to her in unpaid wages, loans and reimbursements. This amount has been acknowledged by Board of Directors to be correct and valid.

Ratio of Donations to Program Costs
*Includes Scholarship Awards from Dr. West

This chart tracks overhead costs of the SAI/DU programs, in relation to donations ear-marked for specific programs and those given for general use. Earmarked donations were minimal, with program overhead far exceeding the donations. Overhead was in every instance offset by not paying Dr. West’s agreed upon salary or by her personally subsidizing the programs through loans, pro-bono and donations from herself and her family members to the nonprofit.

On a positive note, the overhead costs fell well below typical standards for non-profits and at no time exceeded federal regulations for nonprofit operations.

Additionally, as a householder with three children, Dr. West supplied and outfitted the Montana Retreat Center with an estimated $800,000.00 in personal furnishing, fixtures and office equipment on a pro-bono basis.

Allegations that Dr. West misappropriated SAI/DU funds and diverted them to her personal use are totally false and are a deliberate ploy of character assassination as leverage for Watson’s financial extortion scam.


SAI Teaching Revenue vs. Dr. West’s Salary

 

This chart shows that the entirety of revenues generated for SAI/DU came directly from Dr. West’s teaching activities. Dr. West was directly and primarily instrumental in the generation of all donations. The agreed upon salary of $120,000 per year to be paid to Dr. West was minimal in ratio to her actual earnings, and often was not paid at all. Additionally sales from Dr. West’s books, cassettes and CDs went in full to the non-profit and at no time did she receive remuneration for her intellectual material during her entire tenure.

At no time did the non-profit generate income from self-generated projects, programs or enterprises or in any way engage operation of the Montana Retreat Center to achieve fiscal solvency. To expect Dr. West’s teaching proceeds to finance the entirety of the non-profits projects was short-sighted and implausible.

Dr. West gave over 80% of her income and prolific earning ability directly to the non-profit. Both she and her family members donated large sums, in addition to often forfeiting her salary and loaning the non-profit in excess of $1.3M to meet shortfalls. All accusations to the contrary made by John Watson or any one else are false, mean spirited and criminal in intent.

Summary:
Devra Surya Ma’s incredible generosity and purity of altruism is a noble example to us all. That there are those here in America that saw her only as a cash cow to be drained and manipulated at whim, is a sad testament to the poverty consciousness prevalent in the West and else where in the world. John Watson and Pat Cole have done a gross disservice to the reputation and higher purpose of all women healers and master teachers by disparaging, attacking and discrediting the Master Teacher Devra West - Surya Ma.
Watson’s perverse use of the Internet as a stage for his profanity of greed and self-aggrandizement are also a great abuse of power and will stand forever as an unconscionable disservice to humanity at large.
