The Academy for Psychic Studies Death March




The Philippine Islands, World War II

Allied soldiers captured by the Japanese army were marched some 60 miles without food, rest, medical attention through the Philippine jungle on the island of Baatan. Most died. The survivors were crammed into boxcars and shipped to even more brutal POW camps.


Berkeley, California and San Jose, California, present day

Young, fresh-faced recruits of a dangerous cult are marched for ten, twenty or more years to an objective they will never reach. A one year Clairvoyant Training Program at the Academy for Psychic Studies expands into a decade or more before a title of "Reverend" is bestowed on a graduate. Ministers take even more classes that last a lifetime. Survivors of the teaching enroll in a class where students are dragged before their peers for humiliation, degradation and abuse.

Just as the Baatan Death March lasted longer than any other legitimate military march, the Academy for Psychic Studies Clairvoyant Training Program lasts longer than any legitimate training or educational program. In fact, there is no way to know how long the CTP lasts. Graduation from the CTP is arbitrary, depending on whether the leaders consider if you have "blown ten core pictures" and if they consider you available and gullible enough to advance to the ministerial classes for even more blowing of pictures and exploitation.

Those core pictures may be "blown" in short order or not. But oddly, every one of my contemporaries took far longer than the year or two the CTP was intended to last.

Is that wrong or right?

I report. You decide.

I spent over a decade in the Clairvoyant Training Program at the Academy for Psychic Studies. Most of my classmates were there for at least five years. SRF kept people in the CTP "Year Class" for as long as they could giving you no sense of how far you have progressed, what the finish line would be and how you or anyone would know if you made it. That training was some $2400.00 for each "session" of the "Year Class" (those "sessions" were officially nine months long but SRF's Academy for Psychic Studies had a way of always requiring you to enroll in another "Year Class" session every nine months). For my decade or so, that adds up to, uh, umm, well I'm kind of bad at math but I think it's called "a shit-pot of money" or about what I paid for my wife's Volvo and HDTV.

Despite that, many of us hung around to blow our pictures. The Academy for Psychic Studies program was so effective at blowing pictures, one person blew his brains out after he ran out of pictures to blow. The rest of us blew more hard earned money on medical treatment and recovery from all the picture blowing.

Anyway, if you are OK with frittering away over a decade of your life spending hundreds or even over a thousand dollars a month on training that can be psychologically harmful to you, please be my guest.

That wasn't even the beginning of it. The ministerial program required even more training for even more financial commitment for even longer - it was an unapologetic lifetime "learning" program. What you "learned" there was said to assist you to competently minister the holy psychic teaching of Bill Duby and to apply the perverse and corrupt techniques of church management practiced by the Witches of Ellsworth.

Unfortunately in my time at SRF, the only persons considered competent ministers of mind control and sufficiently crooked church managers were the three women closest to Bill Duby himself. The rest of us were considered too principled, too honest and having too much altruism to measure up, I guess.

At any rate, don't listen to me - I don't know what I'm talking about. If you want to spend your money on a ministerial title that is recognized by, well, no one, please go for it. I'm sure the Witches of Ellsworth need new HDTV's, luxury cars and retirement villas.

And when you do reach that blessed title, you'll advance to highest level of the SRF educational pyramid - The Revelations Class. That class takes advanced Biblical education to a whole new level - a perverse and degrading new level.

The "Rev Class" teachers (Bill Duby, Angela Silva and others) began class with a simple Bible verse then proceeded to rip the gathered ministers one at a time with vile insults, hostility and even challenges to fight. Why? No one really knows.

Being spat on and being insulted with racial epithets, challenges to your sexual orientation, family situation, personal integrity and other kind of behavior considered unacceptable in any real church was common practice at SRF's "Rev Class" every Sunday.

If you would like to spend even more and waste every Sunday of your now-worthless life being spit on and otherwise degraded in an SRF class for the spiritually elite, I'll gladly stand aside.

But if you are still someone with some brain cells left and you want to keep them, you may want to keep them warm and receive your spiritual education at an organization where the requirements, the rules and the price are all fully disclosed, are reasonable and are clear and understandable.

That's our side of the Academy for Psychic Studies story. It's a story of a Death March through a battlefield on the road straight to hell. We had plenty of casualties along the way but the CTP is a top notch spiritual training program because only one person committed suicide as a result of the training. The rest of us only needed to spend thousands on therapy and medical treatment to regain our right minds after we merely attempted suicide.

If you care to avoid staring down the barrel of a shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot or trying to find a therapist who gives a damn about cult survival, you may want to ask the Witches of Ellsworth about the CTP before you just dive in and join the Death March.

If you are lucky, they'll throw you out of the building.

If you are not, they will give you some free healings and a nice, friendly psychic reading or three until you realize their Death March is your re-birth into a new life as one of their own.

I'm sure the Japanese said that to the Allies on Baatan.


I'm sure this post will get deep under the skin of the Witches of Ellsworth, even as they bury their heads in the sand refusing to acknowledge the criticism of their practices and ignoring the questions raised by the public.

But one thing is for sure:

I'm going to keep up writing about the Spiritual Rights Foundation. Our side of the SRF story will be available to all.

I'll give those who are looking to SRF for, well, whatever they are looking for, that opportunity for objectivity and the information they need to make a rational choice.

  1. I would say the the term "witches of Ellsworth"
    fits them quite well as what they practice "Psychic Reading and healing" is really witchcraft, and they teach that they won't mention Jesus because he is too controversial for them. They don't think that any of thier behavior is controversial, their money grubbing, thier incredible pride, thier manipulations, thier patroniziong attitudes, thier bullying,the list goes on.

  2. Yes Kevin, they are only interested in themselves, and live in an insular world. Their psyche is boobie-trapped against change by the duby rap. Bill is to be venerated no-matter what, and they will cruelly seek to destroy anyone who steps in the way if they can.
