Make us look like we re holding her captive. parents who paid cult awareness network to go in, kidnap their children and deprogram them. this was michel s worst fear, that the buddhafield was going to be called a cult. now it was no longer talking about the knowing. it was no longer talking about god and love. it s talking about what are we going to do. he said i m no longer in a position where i can do my work in this environment. we need to get out of here. michel didn t really give anyone warning. in the middle of the night, he grabbed me, his cook, another body worker, said pack your bags, we re going. i m like where are we going? we re just going. i had no credit card, no money, no bank account, no phone. i was living underground with him. everyone else stayed in los angeles for the time being to await instructions. eventually he would decide where they should go. it was like losing my family all over again. you don t want to give that up
The garden became our sanctuary and his house became like a refuge from the outside world. things quieted down. time went by and we didn t hear much from cult awareness network anymore. we thought we might be getting back to normal but the demands of the buddhafield and andreas became greater and greater. the aviary with all the birds and bunnies was overrun by rats. we would lift up a rock and hundreds of rats would go running out. he asked us to kill the rats. we armed ourselves with shovels. i would hit them over the head or we d have to decapitate them. it just went on and on and on killing these furry little creatures.
this guy was stalking and his motivation was to tear down the group so that he could have this girl. kenny started to attack michel saying he was a cult leader, telling us what we could and couldn t do. he went to an organization run by rick ross. when you have leaders who claim to speak for god, cannot be questioned by their followers and have little if any accountability, you have a very volatile mix. so he pulled in cult awareness network to try and make us look like we re holding her captive. parents who paid cult awareness network to go in, kidnap their children and deprogram them. this was michel s worst fear, that the buddhafield was going to be called a cult. now it was no longer talking about the knowing. it was no longer talking about god and love. it s talking about what are we going to do. he said i m no longer in a position where i can do my work in this environment. we need to get out of here. michel didn t really give anyone warning.
