<\/a>The emotional volatility of upper leadership<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2022 The surveillance of members and overreach into their private lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The triangulation, the secrecy, the gaslighting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
None of this is news to long-time members. In fact, many upper-degree initiates have agreed with me. They only had one condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t say it in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as I kept the secret, I was a person of integrity. The moment I started speaking up, I became \u201ctheatrical.\u201d \u201cMentally unstable.\u201d \u201cSpiritually psychotic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s not a rebuttal; that\u2019s an institutional pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They don\u2019t see surveillance and control as problems. They see them as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I didn\u2019t want retaliation, I shouldn\u2019t have offended the wrong people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I wanted change, I should\u2019ve sat at my desk, raised my hand, and asked permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mature response to abuse is not to expose the abuse publicly. It’s to create a form or a workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the real difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They think OTO\u2019s dysfunction is a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d I see it as a high-control group\u2014one that no self-respecting spiritual seeker should remain part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also why I don\u2019t name names. Outside the Order, no one knows who these people are. But inside the Order?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone already knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I\u2019m saying isn\u2019t news to OTO\u2019s leadership. It\u2019s familiar. That\u2019s why they attack my character\u2014because they can\u2019t attack the facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So go ahead. By all means, keep spying. Keep paying to spy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve got nothing to hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTO leadership is paying to surveil my Patreon, hoping to figure out my next move.
