Today, Dutch psychologist Chris Dokter posted a eulogy commemorating the life and death of Brian Steel. Brian was a former devotee turned dissenter. As Robert put it last Tuesday: “He was important in taking the stand with us on exposing Sathya Sai Baba’s fraudulence”.
I agree! Brian’s importance can hardly be overstated. Together with Robert, he had the most prolific output. “Is it a mere coincidence both these venerable dissenters hail from Britain and as adults migrated to elsewhere, Brian to Australia, Robert to Norway?”, Chris asked. Who knows. They sure operated in the same timeframe. We’ve lost a very clear and singular voice now that Brian has passed away. I am glad Chris paid him a worthy and touching tribute.
