He did portray 'this world' as a prison and the only freedom was meant to be within his prescribed techniques, along with the listening devotedly and without question to him alone and to serving his needs even to our detriment.

The wonderful and surprising realisation each time I deconstruct the brainwash bit by bit of every picture he painted of 'truth'- turns out to be the exact opposite of what he was trying to portray so hard

It is most surprising and at the same time the most liberating process

It's good you asked questions so much Quinn, in the beginning and obviously since. 

The brainwash was really trying to prevent us from doing that, not to exercise critical thinking. Not backing yourself in what your true feeling is but moulding yourself to conform to an identity as a 'premie', only what fitted in the mould was allowed into the conscious awareness.

Happily the vast ocean of unconscious and intuition holds it all and all those idiosyncrasies start to surface and you get to unpack the past with a new and true perspective. I can now spot the deception, his part in it and my own self deception, my own tendency to give my power away, etc

It's really healthy and even if hard at times, a really happy making process .

I feel very grateful for the ability to be among you all while it all unfolds to each of our benefit
