More Short Thoughts

I just realized something. Actually, I just decided to say something about this. The settlement agreement we signed with SRF requires us to maintain their "response" on our blogs for a period of two years.

Two Years.

So, in order for us to comply with that term of the settlement, we have to maintain our blogs for two years.

Two Years.

The Spiritual Rights Foundation has guaranteed I will be around to inform the public of their perverse and destructive activities for at least TWO YEARS.

And for two years, I'll bet more and more people will come to their senses and follow their own path without the anchor around their neck called the Spiritual Rights Foundation.

===============================

For some time, I was angry. I was angry at myself for being duped far more than the anger I felt at those who deceived me.

And this blog allowed me to vent that.

But now, after their failed lawsuit, after realizing how the faithful few at the Spiritual Rights Foundation stick their foot in their mouths every time it opens, seeing the confused, contradictory, rambling quality of their writing, I feel:

HAPPY

Why? Am I taking pleasure in another's misfortune or am I applying the same sadistic pleasure watching them writhe in torture and pain (from the revelation of the information you read here) as they derived while they tortured us?

No.

I'm happy to know that all the things I saw, the things devoted members saw and even the casual attendees saw weren't just figments of our imagination.

I'm happy to see that our frustrations and disappointments were not mere projections of our shortcomings onto the wise and holy leaders of a spiritual community.

I'm happy to see the true colors of the Academy for Psychic Studies and the Spiritual Rights Foundation.

I'm happy to see the friends I met at SRF as the real people they are.

I'm happy to be more acquainted with the SRF members I didn't have a chance to know.

But most of all: I'm happy to live in the light of reality and bask in the everlasting sunlight of my own humanity and I am happy to share my life with those who share that sentiment.

==============================

How many organizations does the Spiritual Rights Foundation operate:

• The Academy for Psychic Studies
• International Spiritual Hypnosis Institute (ISHI Hypnosis)
• Freedom Estates
• Health and Wealth
• Liberty Construction (now defunct)
• Some kind of bookstore (also defunct)
  

Did I miss any?
Just remember the "Blue Sky Ranch" is NOT owned by the Spiritual Rights Foundation. Contra Costa County official records show the actual owners are: Robin Dumolin and Angela Silva.

I keep wondering why one spiritual organization has to maintain so many different identities? Are they afraid of people hearing their name?
===========================
Your Wedding Day.

For many of us, it's a great and happy day. Mine was. I still can't believe it was such a great day.
At first, we asked a friend of ours (an ex-SRF member) to conduct the ceremony. She wasn't comfortable with it so we hired a wedding minister. But we still wrangled our friend into our ceremony anyway by having her read a passage from the bible.

Anyway, SRF members love weddings. So do the leaders. In fact, most of the happy couples there crave the honor and privilege of being married by the President of the Spiritual Rights Foundation herself, Angela Silva.
Well, since all the ministers at the Spiritual Rights Foundation aspired to perform weddings themselves (and are empowered to do so) SRF's leaders assembled a quick guide to performing an SRF-style wedding complete with a written guide (according to some present at the class). The sacred wedding ceremony was presented to a class of ministers who paid the usual class fee to attend.

The procedure and conduct of the wedding ceremony was presented. At the end of class, the gathered were given guidelines (actually, a holy command) on how much to charge the happy couple. As that particular topic progressed, it became very clear to some of the attendees, the fees the minister received for his or her services would go back to SRF.

Not just a portion of the fee - all of it.

I can't see the reason why Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin think they are entitled to the money a minister earns through his or her own labor - but they do. If you know why please leave a comment.

So, how many marriages were officiated by the SRF faithful recently?
