[00:00:56] See the show notes to learn more or go to patreon.com. You actually see it, you're watching it in real time and I think that's very, very important and I was saying this on my podcast the other day is basically because
[00:01:11] if you just say something like, oh well I'd never get involved in a sex cult yeah of course you wouldn't nobody would, you'd get involved in something else but if you keep insisting, if you keep not wanting to learn about how these things work
[00:01:22] then you're just gonna say I'd never get involved and so you'll never see it coming. If you see the insiders talking, you see what's happening and you can understand the pattern as you say and then you will see it coming when you understand how the whole thing works.
[00:01:34] The only way to ensure that you won't see it coming is recognize that you're a candidate for it. If you immediately dismiss yourself as a candidate for coercive control, that's your blind spot.
[00:01:45] Exactly and then the other thing you know you asked how I feel, honestly a lot of sadness. I mean I felt a lot of sadness. That's what I felt. I was surprised I felt that because you know I don't follow the loyalists particularly
[00:01:56] but when something comes across my feed and they're bashing you, they're bashing Sarah I'm just kind of like in my mind I have a natural fuck you impulse but then when I actually saw them on camera and I was like my compassion kicked in
[00:02:08] and I felt really, really sad that they're in this. I really want to see them evolve it. Like nobody's enjoying that. And Nicky put on the jacket, Keith's jacket. Oh my god I was like, I was so sad. I was so sad.
[00:02:20] It was just so fucking desperate you know and I didn't even know, I didn't even have the words for it. It just feels like such a tragically wasted path to take but I do recognize as well that the wake-up path is treacherous as well.
[00:02:37] I mean Sarah you said in the episode like you know she has a long hard road ahead of her. If she ever wakes up she has a very long hard road ahead of her. This road is hard as well but choose your hard.
[00:02:49] What was it like for you to watch me talk about Nicky? You brought me in, I brought Nicky in. How does that all feel? I felt the weight of responsibility you know because as I was watching you and the weight of responsibility of what you were feeling
[00:03:03] and then I was feeling the weight of responsibility along with you you know like you bring people in and then of course you do everything like everything, everything, everything to get them out but it comes at a certain point where there's just nothing you can do
[00:03:13] because the programming is so strong that like you trying to pull her out she's already made sense of why you're doing it. It actually makes it worse. You know she's because I think that they think we're just weak you know we didn't have what it took.
[00:03:25] Yeah yeah great. They've cast themselves as the moral beacons of this thing and they think this is them demonstrating that when it's really not. Exactly. And we're the last people that can tell them they need a loved one or they need something else to.
[00:03:38] Yeah yeah yeah I don't have patience for that shit anymore although I will say because I had so much sadness watching episode one like for years I was very angry and that anger began subsiding as I began healing in a deeper way
[00:03:50] and then watching episode one I was actually happy to see that I didn't have anger so much you know I just had like my god. Imagine if we were still in there like holy fuck that's terrifying. Dude that's terrifying.
