" ... Read the "literature" about Shoemaker (Leaving Nityananda, Richard Read's pieces in the Oregonian, testimonials of abuse).
Over and over, he tells his victims, "if you leave me. you will go crazy, be in a mental institution, and never stop the cycle of death and rebirth….. again, classic traumatizing narcissistic cult leader behavior.
That is why so many cult members can't leave, can't denounce their leader. They are terrified of what will happen to them on "the outside". So they stay and accept more and more abuse.
Keep in mind that many "students" of Shoemaker's have been taken out of his "ashrams" feet first!"
