Hi, Mountain Girl,
I would like to tell you that I really
do appreciate such a well written
account on MOL and your experience with
them. Three years ago, I was involved
with a female member of this cult. For
the life of me, I couldn't understand
how such a lovely, intelligent and
successful, person like her could be so
deeply brainwashed by such nonsense. Oh,
they tried to convert me, but, I
couldn't help but laugh at their antics.
So, they gave up and tried to breakup
our relationship. God knows, I was so
close in convincing her to see these
people for who they really are, manipulating quacks. Sensing
this, they ordered her to move to the
West Coast, supposely to be closer to
mother beast, but, in reality, to be
away from my "bad" influence. We
continued to see each other for a few
months afterward, but, slowly, they
pulled her away from me. To this day, I
still lament over my failure to awaken
her from that nightmare. I'm so glad
that you had to courage and the sanity
to do so for yourself.
Thank you ...for your touching comment.
I am so sorry for your pain. Too often I witness and was a victim of manipulation in the area of relationship. Please do not feel you have failed in trying to rescue her. You never know how this will affect her. MoL is one of those cult where members can stay involved for a long time. The tactics of persuasion and the bonding to the group is so high that it requires either a rebellious spirit so the member will end up being kicked out, or an exit counselor to save someone from the "beast". "Walk away" exist but the longer one participate in it the less is the possibility they walk away. In this circumstances an outside help is a must. Recently few intervention, organized by a loved one have been successful in liberating members from MoL deluded dream.
May you heart be in peace.
Hi dear Mountain-spirit,
Like I was impressed by your speech at my seminar, I now am impressed by the way you write about your "life-event": living within a cultic structure and fighting a way out again.
Good analyses of the impact of MOL-coercived persuasion techniques on your life and how the recovery-process works with you. It is a difficult subject, yet you succeed in writing it down in a way that makes it easy and ..somehow nice...to read.
Nice we became friends,
hug,
Ocean-spirit
I'm so glad you're exposing this cult for what they are. I have a dearly loved family member who has sold her soul to Kalindi and her cult and we all fear for her future. She has been completely controlled by Kalindi even so far as cutting ties with family members. She makes a rare visit, but seems distanced. This is a woman of above-average intelligence who had always excelled in everything she had ever attempted. Now that she's in the upper elite ranks of MOL she seems very empty. She has an expression that she tries to relay as the result of spiritual contentedness and sweet release. To those who see her, however, she looks empty, hollow. She no longer has the witty ability to engage in healthy conversation or lively debate. There is no witty banter, no laughter. Only a woman who looks as though she is in a trance.
She no longer thinks for herself. When she opens her mouth she quotes Kalindi and others in MOL. Even the items she carries in her purse have been ordered as such by Kalindi herself, and are organized within the pockets of her purse by brand name and are displayed in the pockets exactly as are others in the cult. It's sad that in searching for herself she's lost who she really was.
I will continue to pray for her and hope that one day she is rescued, but it seems she's so deeply ingrained with their thinking that she would give up her life before she would walk away. What I have read in the bible tells me that God doesn't expect this of His children. I believe He does expect devotion, but does not want us to worship a human like Kalindi.
I'm glad you found your way free of this destructive cult. That, my dear, is how to break free.
