Like a lot of you out there I'm still trying to make some sense of my past:

When you are raised in a religious cult like I was, as a child you feel out of sync with the rest of the world.

I remember as a child I was told that everyone but those in my cult were all going to hell. This is an awful place to be as a child to begin with where most human beings on earth you are told are going to hell. Especially because at the time my parents Christian mystic universalist cult had maybe between 10,000 and 50,000 adherents worldwide.

I thought to myself as a child: "Everyone on earth is going to hell because they aren't in my religion?"

This just seemed completely wrong and was one of the many things that started to turn me against all religions including my own to one degree or another over the years.

But, then I didn't realize that religions are mostly about money in that religions need money to survive along with the leaders of that religion. So, if they can convince you any way possible to give them as much money as possible by scaring you to death, that is what ALL religions do around the world to continue to exist as financial entities worldwide.

When you learn this one thing you are free. "Know the truth and the truth will set you free."

The truth is that ALL religions lie to people so they can financially survive.

This is true of ALL religions worldwide. Once you realize this you are free. 

Lately, I found articles by Erin Prophet who I met as a child and who is one of the children of Elizabeth Clare Prophet who I also met in 1975. For some reason I feel moved by Erin Prophet's words in her articles simply because I met her and her childhood experiences are not that different than my own being raised in a similar religion by my own parents which is called: "The Saint Germain Foundation". So, even though her mother and father founded "The Summit Lighthouse" and my parents were ministers in charge of a church on Hope STreet in Los Angeles for the Saint Germain Foundation, many of our experiences as children were basically the same.

And like her, I eventually needed to leave my parents religion and for awhile I was a part of her mother's religion as a part of my 20s while raising my own son from 1 to 5 years old in the 1970s. Though I left the Summit LIghthouse of Elizabeth Clare Prophet as a Summit university Graduate and then as a staff member in the computer department by Spring of 1978 after being with that church from 1975 until 1978, it was exactly what I needed to learn that I shouldn't be the member of Any Church because I'm too individualistic and free thinking and logical and reasonable to actually be the member of any church. Because like my parents before me I tend to get into the Heart center of any religion and when you are as individualistic and and free thinking and logical and as reasonable as I am, this just isn't going to work.

So, sadly, I realized I wasn't cut out to be a member of any church or religion or to even be a regular minister of any religion because I had to be true to myself, to my soul and true to God which I personally could not do as the member of any religion full time.

Elizabeth Clare Prophet I knew and so did my parents meet her as well. She passed away in 2009 from Alzheimers disease after suffering with it for 10 years or more.

By God's Grace

Elizabeth Clare Prophet I knew and so did my parents meet her as well. She passed away in 2009 from Alzheimers disease after suffering with it for 10 years or more.

I met her on the beach of Del Mar, California in 1975 so she would have been 36 years old then and I was 27 years old so I would have been about 10 years younger than her now. At the time meeting her was very helpful to me in moving past my pain in leaving the Saint Germain Foundation and hundreds of friends I had all over the world. Joining her church which was then called: "The Summit LIghthouse" was very helpful for me to move on and to learn that I really didn't belong as a part of any church in my life. This was very hard for me to understand but I realized my personal survival depended upon not belonging to any church. However, I did study with native American Medicine men and with Tibetan lamas in the U.S. and India and Nepal after that until around 1990 or so when I continued my Tibetan buddhist practices and initiations still even here today in 2022.

Tibetan Buddhism started with the "Become the Buddha" Conference in late 1977 with my mother and father there too in San Francisco at the Scottish Rights Masonic Hall there in San Francisco interestingly enough too with Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

Here is the latest article that is helping me process all this now:
