I was not a spiritual seeker when I first came across the Great Freedom teaching or later called Balanced View as an organization, though I had some experiences with Buddhism and practices of meditation.
The founder, during some of her talks, remembered the past involvement of her mother in the Catholic Church and also mentioned an incident of a shop owner in her town of origin who sexually abused his own daughters.
With this background, she told us all about her life and how she came to the format of the teaching and how she developed it. I belonged to an internal group of the closest to the teaching, about 200 people and knew her past of being very familiar with the entrepreneurs of Apple in Silicon Valley, her dad being one of the driving forces of the evolution of the barcode.
She told us basically everything about her private life, it felt like as if we were signing a covenant with her to not talk about it, lest we be put to shame, isolated and lost the link to our true identity, which was only in Balanced View and only to be found in a mental practice she named Short Moments.
She even had a relationship to God but when I left I came to believe in Jesus Christ and my conclusion was that Candice was a type of Anti-Christ guru, making herself a messiah of the brave new world. She knew everything about A.I. and the advanced technologies of cloning and trans-humanism which she predicted to be emerging and become popular very soon. I never asked anyone about those and what they thought about it, whether they find them ethically or morally good. It was just a fact that we were confronted with and we were like in mind control to be silent about everything that we knew. It really comes close to a spell or curse that was set on everyone who was part of the „chosen ones“ to hear and completely surrender to the mind of the boss.
The reason why Balanced View is an organization of mind control in my opinion is that it is not about freedom of mind but of submission and yoking yourself to the mind of a teacher and to fellow teachers who act as clones of the guru’s personality. It has a non-violent and very nice looking front cover, but behind the scenes it is abuse and mental slavery. It really means losing and giving up your own identity and merging with a cloud of people from all walks of life, who sacrifice themselves to a higher purpose.
The teaching is a repetition of the same things, over and over again, just to not fall back into old habits, emotions and thinking patterns. It encourages not to feel, think and act on your own but to let it happen. It actually discourages to take your emotional, mental and spiritual life into your own hands. Inducing fear, that we cannot handle ourselves and take responsibility of our own lives, people are discouraged and broken to stay in the organization and to come always closer to the guru and submit to their personal teacher’s instructions, giving them all of their money, attention, focus and loyalty.
Balanced View takes the spiritual fight of a person in this material world under its wings, nurtures it in the group, making it irrelevant and just like an appearance of a cloud in the sky.
The metaphors used to describe the effectiveness of the teaching are very hard to see through, because they come from a realm of witchcraft, originating from the occult world of Buddhism, ancient spiritual teachings of those who practiced them before Buddha had his experience of „enlightenment“, which is nothing else than simply waking up from your personal trauma that had been wiped under the carpet and kept you in a deep slumber in this world.
Many cult survivors, even people sexually abused and tormented in the slavery of Freemason Lodges, after years wake up and their memories flood their consciousness. A common theme in these sex cults are multiple personalities, but you can do your own research about what is also know as DID (dissociative identity disorder) or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). People who fell into cults usually had some of that before they joined the cult. So after coming out, there is a long story to be told, after years and you don’t want to have to do anything with any cult or ex-cult member. I deleted all my conversations and emails with sensitive information about my past and what drugs I took as a teenager, that were asked for before every participation in a Balanced View training. They have it all in their archives still, but you cannot do anything about it. When you leave, it is all lost, like they have the keys to your own home and you have become homeless by leaving the organization.
I am glad I can write like this, four years after I left.
Before that I was just manipulated and hypnotized by the language of the teachings and I couldn’t feel anything.
By eliminating the emotions you make people not only obey but there are no memories left.
Memories are in the body and if you just sat still and listened to a voice for years there is nothing to remember, this is perfect hypnosis, witchcraft, manipulation, mind control.
There are so many experiments that have to do with mind control I’ve heard of, but this is the worst, most intricate and immersing on this planet.
Run for your life.
Come back to Jesus.
This is what I can say about it.
I am not religious, but I was a missionary for Balanced View and invested 6 years of my life, pouring all my spirit and life into it.
What a drag.
