Hi If any one is still on this one - Just wanted to Say i just finished reading Cults inside out, by Rick Alan Ross, fantastic and disturbing but excellent - he really brings together a lot of different looks at the phenomena from lots of points of views so you don’t have to do a lot of research or if you want to you know what to look for so you don”t keep finding the same thing over again. with lots of examples from the really dangerous to the mild. I have to say that what i read about and what i experienced with the template were 2 very different things. So far I haven't met Juliette and Jiva so if and when that will be interesting.
I realise it could also be a personality thing or if triggered by the anti religion thing as some people i have spoken to are, that cult could be an easy label to slap on someone which could happen to any one “teaching” any thing, any workshop etc especially if they charge for it.
but there are important definitions in the book so that a might be victim can be on the watch and for that i am grateful. Having said that and as i said before i am really feeling to adventure a bit more into it. but carefully and since JMC you have had your experience i wanted to ask if your initial facilitator gave signs that she were cultish or if you think so in retrospect. and who that was and if you don't think so would you recommend them.
Thanks For the conversation on this.
