I share your feelings, and still find it hard to admit my involvement. I was faced with this as recently as last night at a gathering of new friends. Someone asked me what advice I would give to my younger self. " watch out for dodgy gurus and don't get involved in a cult" I said.. Oh which one were you involved with? I was asked. That's usually a tricky question to answer as his shape shifting has left him with a variety of names. But on this occasion one woman knew exactly who I meant. It turns out her sister was a follower for about 15 years and she herself had seen him right here in Exeter where he had picked her out of the audience. A conversation for another time methinks. But she was quick to say that although her sister was no longer involved she still felt it had done her no harm. This is a tricky question for some of us. My position is that I have no regrets because I am out with my eyes wide open. In fact the whole process of exiting was more enlightening than entering! And of course I could only do what I did.. But what a waste of time and very sincere effort.. or was it? What I most deplore is that he takes all the credit and none of the blame. None of the blame for our crazy ideas that he is God incarnate. Very interested to hear that you were pretty up close and personal at the Malibu mansion and responsible for assigning service etc. It was seeing him at close quarters and in particular his appalling temper that really started me on the road to recovery. I'm sure we would all be very interested to hear of some of your experiences of him and how you justified it to yourself at the time. Anyway, good to hear from another survivor. All the best. |
