:) How does one fire family? SRF is a classic dysfunctional, abusive family.

Speaking from experience as one of the ones they fired, more than once, since I hung on and physically survived the first few, it's easy:

1. They don't work with the person or discuss the situation with him. Why would they need to do that? The facts and the life of the person they are about to hurt are irrelevant. Their own "God-sanctioned" opinion as "channels" and that of their secretaries and the consultants they worship is enough.

2. Because at some hidden level they know that what they are doing is wrong, they attempt to spiritualize what is happening to you by telling you what wonderful qualities you have, or reminiscing about some irrelevant good times, often just before they fire you. Instead of making things OK, this just makes it that much more confusing, and makes the psychological wound that much deeper. They make you crazy, whether you go or stay.

The reality of who these people are and what this organization is is all over this board. Unfortunately, most will not want to see it. I understand. When I first wanted to enter the ashram, I didn't want to see it either, even though I was warned in what turned out to be the most realistic terms possible. The "stars in my eyes" blinded me to the truth and I blew it all off. It seems we have to work it out for ourselves.

One of the key things to understand is that they have no power to hurt us except the power we ourselves give them. When we accept their dogmas, particularly their essential lie about the oneness of SRF and Master, when we give them our money, when we give them our lives, when we give them our identity and our power, there is only one way it can turn out in the end.

What would Master say? He would say to give those things to God. We thought we were doing exactly that through SRF. We were, and many still are, mistaken. This is just another delusion, one of the most subtle and most hurtful, but it seems to be a step many or most of us must work through at some point in our spiritual evolution. It is not an issue limited to SRF; it applies to everyone, no matter what "religion" they follow.

If only we recognized wisdom at first-sight! All too often, we learn only from our own experiences. Master said we can also learn from the experiences of others, but it is difficult, especially when in the grip of a particularly subtle and seductive delusion.
