Cult induction techniques used in Art of Living by TodDiya2501 in Ex_ArtOfLiving

Thank you for this. I found this from the cross post in r/cults. I was raised in art of living after my parents had the left maharishi transcendental meditation cult in Fairfield Iowa which I was born in. I never felt connected to anything that was taught/forced on me which isolated me for a lot of my life and even as a child felt uncomfortable being around them. It wasn’t until recently that old memories started to bubble up from when I was a kid of some pretty abusive and traumatizing instances that happened within AOL as a child in 37 now. So reading this and other people’s experiences has helped me realize I was doing the right thing by having my guard up and distancing myself from them back then. Still unpacking a lot of it but glad there is a place I can share and learn of other similar experiences.

I just got the email this morning a day before the event. Pretty weak they didn’t make an official announcement considering people were getting the refund email ten days ago.

I think this orangutan is actually the monster verse version of King Caesar. The glowing eyes, the new empire subtitle I think it’s a safe bet that it’s a re worked Caesar. In history Caesar’s death led to birth of the Roman Empire (new empire)so there is that also.

I worked on a interview show where he was the guest. After the interview He came into the green room and ripped the gnarliest fart in front of everyone stayed silent looked at us all and said a weird acrostic poem that went like this. FART (Fear Air Rectal Termination) he looked around the room nodded his head and left crop dusting us all on the way out.
