Mas Sajady XI Podcast 93: Holy Hell Interview with Will Allen - Part 2

This episode is the second part of my interview with Will Allen, director of the fascinating documentary Holy Hell, which follows his journey of being in a dark cult for more than 20 years. I reached out to Will to interview him about his experience because his story really touched my heart, and I wanted to share with you the risks cults pose, how they can control us before we even realize it, and ways to avoid their power and stand in our own.

Will and I explore how his guru exploited the practice of meditation to control them, and what healthy meditation really looks like. We discuss the nature of human desire, and how repressing all desires is actually harmful and not realistic. I explain how managing your relationship with your desires can actually improve your life and spirituality. 

I talk with Will about how gurus can twist the concepts of love and devotion to hypnotize curious intelligent people into giving up their identity and submitting their will. I make the distinction between the time-bound intelligence that most people use, and the timeless intelligence available to us that comes from Pure Source. We get to connect both of these types of brilliance to achieve the best results in our life. 

I end this episode with a powerful Medihealing, which is meditation and healing combined to accelerate your spiritual growth and achieve 360 degrees of abundance. I guide you into a deep meditative state and then take you through an process where you take command of your breath, your energy and every other part of your life. You will leave the Medihealing feeling grounded, empowered, and protected from all those who would seek to control you.
