March 10, 2020 Matthew Remski - SITUATIONALLY VULNERABLE
My guest today is Matthew Remski. Through his personal involvement in two cults, Matthew became interested in researching and writing about abuse and cult dynamics. I met Matthew through a facebook group that was discussing the revelations from Pamela Sahara Dyson's book about her life with Yogi Bhajan (published 1/8/2020). This book has opened the floodgates for people sharing abuse stories that had previously been silenced, and has inspired Matthew to write several blog pieces on this topic (links below). I encourage you to check out Matthew's book Practice and All Is Coming: Abuse, Cult Dynamics, and Healing in Yoga and Beyond, available here: http://matthewremski.com/wordpress/books/wawadia-main/ For more info on Matthew: http://matthewremski.com/
In this episode Matthew discusses...
how he came to be involved in two different cults
what it means to be situationally vulnerable
power tactics cult leaders employ
how cult leaders use the goodness of their followers to recruit new members
the distinction with being a "member" and a "consumer" in a cult dynamic
the epic reach of the kundalini yoga community and how difficult it is to draw clear "cult" lines
Pamela Sahara Dyson's recently published memoir: Premka: White Bird in a Golden Cage
I hope this gives you some food for thought, and encourages a lot more questions and insights!
