Wow, that is quite a tidbit of history. Wouldn't it be nice if someone compiled these pieces of cult history into one document? I feel like each time I hear...
Rudra, Great post, a LOT of salient points here. What you have written about is a very subtle part of the everyday life in the centre, at least to us at the...
Hmmm, many good points here too. Alas, I am tired and must retire soon. I will post a reply at a later date to this message too. I think that people who engage...
This is why I believe that therapy is a good plan. It helps straighten out the many braided and complicated issues that upon leaving the center people face....
Yes you are right. Therapy is the first step (for me at least)! :) I didn't really see much value in therapy for the first few years, but after 6 years of...
I'm glad to hear someone second that therapy is a good idea and can bring results. I brought it up a while back and there were some defensive responses. Some...
I think that if some ex-disciples are still angry, this is a good place to vent. We really can't decide for someone else when it is time to move on. I can...

Thanks for this, Rudra. I am constantly finding traces of ghose's pseudo spirituality in my head. The advice given to you by the ex- disciple was one more...
Oh well said, when people speak about "moving on"...for me this does not mean I "forget the past"....crap, the past made my present. By moving on I don't...
Yes exactly, stuff it all back down (like in the center) and don't give me any problems now that you are out of the center and free....just be nice and we'll...
rudra that is such an excellent post. I though a lot about the last part about those still caught, I had a chat with a friend of mine who said "Are they...
