I'm still naive as well, but not nearly as much as I used tdo be. Sometime it takes a silly little thing like waking up to the fact that you dedicated decades of your life to a fraud! to finally get some street smarts. I think His Horribleness only grows because of the steady stream of new revelations. We only know what's been witnessed and reported; not everything there is to know. Based on past revelations, I suspect there's a lot more!

I was so far out there that the memory makes me shake my head, cringe and laugh (in a perplexed sort of way) in disbelief.

Thanks?? to this experience, I feel pretty safe from vulnerability to cults and spurious ideologies, theories, etc., but it's a constant vigil! It helps to not feel a need to fill the void of not knowing. Except, of course, for learning new things like the definition of "toxic AF" and "pents."  

Your last one is a source of constant low-grade anxiety.

I shudder to think of where I might be today if it weren't for EPO and everyone who banded together to expose the truth about Prem Rawat.

Thanks Lesley!
