Who in the hell is left at the Academy for Psychic Studies?
It's a question people keep asking me and one I ask often.
I joined the Academy for Psychic Studies just at the peak of its heyday in the mid-90's. Steve Sanchez made a monumental effort in directing his San Jose "parish" and was able to attract many of us to his church. Don't worry, I never held it against him. In fact, I count Steve as one of my closest friends.
We joined a thriving and apparently enthusiastic and vibrant organization filled with like-minded and seemingly supportive people. Academy for Psychic Studies headquarters seemed abuzz with the excitement and energy that only a happy and fulfilled congregation could have created.
For we newbies, it was a happy and wondrous time, full of exploration and sustained by the encouragement of Bill Duby, his wives and the people around us.
The end of the decade, though, brought about an abrupt and stunning turn.
Fathers were being marginalized and separated from their children. Women were being worked hard. One was worked so hard, she fell ill and eventually died. The excitement was waning. The happiness began to fade into a more sullen and somber mood.
The start of the 21st century ushered in even more discontent and for the first time, public exposure of the financial, emotional and even physical abuses practiced at the Academy for Psychic Studies. News coverage began in earnest - none of it favorable.
Legal actions over truancy, divorce and custody issues appeared.
SRF was embarrassed at the public exposure and their involvement in the legal issues of their members. In fact, many members cited SRF's involvement in their personal lives and relationships as one reason for taking legal action in the first place.

Over the years, the number of those remaining at the Academy for Psychic Studies has dwindled and dwindled.
At its heyday, there were nearly 40 people at the Academy for Psychic Studies.
Now there are only
There were a good number of strong men to do the physical labor.
Now, there is hardly enough to
Who's left?
But the youth, the enthusiastic and fearless ones - they are all gone. None are coming in.
The healing clinics attracted many from all walks of life. Today, a few middle-age women come in and turn their noses after seeing that the Academy for Psychic Studies isn't all it's cracked up to be.
ISHI Hypnosis is experiencing a dearth of new students. The last class (highly touted and endlessly shilled on the radio show "Total Propaganda") had a less-than-prosperous one student. More recent classes were empty.
No one but those trapped in the Academy for Psychic Studies cesspool buys the Heath and Wealth items.
Only the faithful
The 90's wave of enthusiasm for the Academy for Psychic Studies has collapsed into a few drips of interest.
I hope it stays that way.
=========================
In the last few days, I've fielded more than a few direct accusations and subtle hints that I am behaving vengefully towards the Academy for Psychic Studies.
I'm not looking for vengeance. That kind of thing is the action of a person who wants to damage a person or organization for his own personal satisfaction or gain.
I have a mission. It's a mission to inform the world - to tell our side of the story.
I want to see no more victims of this spiritual cesspool.
I hope those who are young enough and have so much of their lives ahead of them see the writing on the wall and head out the door for good. Thankfully, they have.
I pray those who have their golden years to look forward to turn their back on their abusers and live the life they richly deserve. They did - for the most part. Maybe a few years too late but better late than never.
For those who read this blog, I hope my information and my opinions help them see what we saw: the evil that permeates the Academy for Psychic Studies. I hope our side of the story allows them the freedom of thought to decide for themselves when faced with a choice for their spiritual fulfillment.
I'm not interested in vengeance. I am interested in freedom and that is the purpose of this blog and what I say and do.
Of course, as the Witches of Ellsworth Street have been adamant this blog has been not only the bane of their existence, all things un-witchly, un-spiritual, un-psychic and unenlightening have emanated from here. Of course, they predict the usual doom and gloom and have admonished their former flock of the witchly consequences of my expression of freedom.
The Witches or their mindless followers have engaged in several actions designed to isolate, demean and discredit Joy and myself in the most base and foul manner. We know they have singled out their current and former members who have accepted an invitation to our wedding. Visits to former members were closely monitored by the children of the former members at the direction of the Witches. Appropriate responses such as insults to our ethnicity, personality and the basis of our marriage (that we want to grow old together without the influence of the cult - a stupid reason, I know) as well as the usual obscenities and epithets were delivered by the children in the name of the Witches.
It is no surprise to we Academy escapees to see the Witches of Ellsworth conduct their reign of terror and personal degradation through proxies. Wives were turned on husbands and children turned on parents continuously during our imprisonment. What the poor deluded followers can't reconcile is the Witches' conduct of delivering spiritually meaningful and psychic-ly warm and nourishing derogatory and dehumanizing personal insults were in fact, blatant attempts to extract vengeance upon those who dare to live without their influence and have the courage to speak out so no other will fall under their evil spell.
The Witches' vengeance is a subtle one. They slowly and deliberately conduct a Chinese Water Torture of derogatory statements among the followers, the children and whoever else they can think of. The continuous drip, drip, drip of their own brand of degradation continues until they find a new person to hold up as a scapegoat.
As our own quest for personal freedom and independence continued, the Witches were there at every step. Even well before the publication of this now-famous blog, the Witches of Ellsworth used both Joy and myself as spiritually perverse examples of the consequences of engaging in a life and livelihood without the influence of the Witches.
As the Witches were unable to effect this blog and as they were unable to win their stupid and unlawful suit against me and all who read it, their credibility as truly warm and nourishing messengers of peace and personal freedom has been as well accepted as Herman Cain saying he never even heard of all those women.
As this blog and my own personal quest is to present our side of the Academy for Psychic Studies story and to give the public a more complete view of the goings-on there than the self-serving propagandists at the Academy would ever present.
What is presented here is as accurate as memory and recollection permit and at no time are the contents here knowingly false. Therefore, there is no harm or libel to any person living or dead (especially DEAD). Just search the blog for the post "Order! Order! Order of the Court!" to see the court agreed.
Anyone but the mentally deficient leaders and hangers-on at the Academy for Psychic Studies can see: when an individual speaks his or her mind based on his or her truthful experiences and derives opinions therefrom, there's no vengeance involved.
However, I will grant you: THE TRUTH HURTS, DOESN'T IT?
