Absolutely, and didn't HPB state that this was the worst type of Karma.

Dear Cass

Thank you for this significant additional point.

It is perhaps not the self-killing of the physical 
body alone which is of greatest concern in this 
context, but the mindset of the individual that 
enables this to occur.

It seems some in this forum are unaware of the 
insidious dangers of the leader/follower mindset 
for the everyday human being, its perpetuators, and 
the support and/or accommodation of its and their 
perpetuation.

These dangers are exacerbated where the "leader" 
clearly and demonstrably lies and fabricates 
his/her teachings.

The body may suffer for as long as it takes to 
terminate, however the followers' skandhas of 
mind suffering can last for aeonic periods, 
throughout many incarnations.

This is especially so where this perpetuation is 
supported and encouraged in the name of "freedom."

Genuine freedom involves letting go of the desire 
or emotional need to follow. However our kama/manasic 
ego, desirous of putative certainty and 
predictability in the desperate hope for safety and 
security, resists this "letting go" in every 
conceivable manner, so often subtly and even 
unconsciously to the heavily programmed and 
indoctrinated individual.

It really is a "death struggle" and as mentioned in 
an earlier posting, "the stakes are human souls."

Kind regards
Nigel
