Please help – I think I’m in a Cult


People had started coming to me to ask for help to get out of the spiritual cults they had been a part of but when I began to look more into their experience of a cult, it surprised me, because it looked nothing like I had imagined a cult to look like.

I had visions of them all walking around dressed in orange, or white chanting something….

Yes, those exist too… But many of them you just wouldn’t be able to spot as being a cult until you begin to dig in a little further.

Back in those days I just did energy work, and whilst that has its place and is definitely a part of the treatment… I soon discovered that I was missing a key piece of the puzzle.

I didn’t understand enough about the mind – or how the mind becomes programmed – because a lot of the cult experience is to do with the psychology behind it, and the beliefs that people are programmed with and take on board.

It was the mind programming and their beliefs that was keeping them locked in.

True there can be an energetic component – cords or possessions for example – but deprogramming the mind from the Doctrine of Belief is the key to healing and becoming Sovereign – and ultimately Self Sovereign.

Long story short, this is how I came to study hypnotherapy and the workings of the mind.

Today is Cult Awareness Day.

This date is chosen because on 18 November 1978 more than 900 people died in the Jonestown Massacre — followers of the Peoples Temple under the leadership of Jim Jones.

It honours the victims of extreme high-control group tragedies (like Jonestown) and draws attention to the human cost when systems of coercion go unchecked.

It’s a reminder – not just of what can happen in extreme control systems, but of how easily influence infiltrates our thoughts, choices, and spirituality.

We can take on the beliefs of a group – but we can be equally influenced by family, society, culture, news and media. Just look at the group-think dynamics that happened in response to the covid plandemic – which in my opinion was an exercise in mass influence, collective trauma, and social conditioning – all of which are necessary components used to create “cult thinking”

Sovereignty means noticing where you’ve been shaped by something outside your truth… and returning home to the stillness of your own knowing….

Within a cult, people no longer think for themselves. There is a gradual erosion of independent and critical thinking as the psychological entrainment takes over:

Repetition – of a specific belief or slogan.
Isolation – the belief that: they don’t understand us – it’s “not safe” out there in the world.
Emotional manipulation – alternating between approval and shame to train obedience – a form of gaslighting.
Dependency – this (belief or action) will save us, it’s for our own good because we are in danger and this will keep us safe.

Does that remind you of anything?

In any case long before the psychological programming of society that began in ernest in 2020, I have been working with people who experienced similar but in a more spiritual context.

To date I have worked with around 350 people in the deprogramming of their mind from cult like spiritual beliefs (including some galactic and ET interference beliefs that I have labelled Starseed Trauma) – and helped them to Return to Sovereignty.

In truth though, even if you have never ever stepped near a spiritual cult – or any spiritual practice for that matter – chances are you are not Sovereign.

We have all been influenced by other people – what is acceptable, what is approved of, what is expected of us… all of that shapes us and who we become UNTIL we take our power back and Remember Who We Truly Are and Who We Came Here To Be.

Sovereignty is the restoration of that direct knowing.

It is the remembrance that truth is not given, it is recognized from within.
We become Self Sovereign when we embody and live that truth on an every day basis. (Not just in our meditations!)

If you are ready to become your Sovereign and Radiant Self… to integrate wholeness and Return to Inner Balance then my private 1:1 program – The Transcendence Path – might be perfect for you.
