Cults and some churches often lead you to believe that there is not a hierarchy, but it's a lie. They also gaslight you and encourage you stay obedient. If you can ask questions and get answers it might not be this toxic environment. If you can't, you might be in a cult.

There were several practices that were part of the church that we had to actively participate in. Let's break them down and explain how they all worked. 

Dive into this episode to learn what trance or channeling was like. Specifically how Trina spoke a dead spirit. The process was a meeting with the ministers of the church where there was a free for all to obliterate people and say the unthinkable. Finally bhajans was a practice taken from Hindi traditions. Let's get weird.

They are strong majestic beasts. For the same reason you are still being undervalued in your life. You are strong and majestic, but you don't see this strength. 

Dive into this weeks episode to learn how to break free.

The Story: As I begin to adjust to life in the church, it is every part of our life. Our home, school, neighbors and friends are all the same surroundings. We lived collectively both physically and financially. Each member is considered family and we have to treat everyone as such. (Which included giving free labor of whatever skill you had to the other members). How we began to get indoctrinated in the school and turned against our parents.

Story: In September of 1986 my family drove across the US from Rockville, Maryland to Mesa, Arizona to join the Church of Immortal Consciousness. From the very beginning there was huge changes in my life. Communal living, hierarchy and many weird changes to the way life had been.

Welcome to HOW TO LEAVE A CULT.
This is our fabulous intro! I want to share why I am creating this podcast as well as what you can expect from future episodes. I want to create a community where people who have been abused by cults or religious groups can learn and heal. 

I will be sharing my very personal story of being raised in a religious cult for nearly 30 years. I will also be sharing how I have healed and how you can too. You can move past the past. You deserve to not carry that kind of baggage anymore. 

My story will share manipulation, gaslighting, alcoholism, as well as a cult run charter school, massive lawsuits, cult experts, arranged marriage and so much more.
