Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and Manipulation

Demetria, Part 2 - Twin Ray Mysticism, Spiritual Retreats, and the Necessity of Rage

Oct 2, 2024

Today is part two with Demetria, survivor of the Oregon new age cult, Twin Ray. This week she shares more about the wild claims that the leaders made about their mystical backgrounds, how deeply rooted the culture of self blame was (including blaming one woman for her own cancer), and the massive property they purchased in Oregon which was financed by their followers. We talk about the dangers of the drugs they were giving people on spiritual retreats, when the cracks began to form in Demetria's belief system, and how important it was to feel her rage.
