The webpage firstly defines what ritual abuse is. It then describes the organisations' indoctrination methods, especially the programming. It then outlines recovery, especially from the programming. The last section provides the names, telephone numbers and webpage addresses of supportive people and bodies.David Freehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03554493838716454449noreply@blogger.comBlogger15125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426450291702736117.post-79227716422243735162017-04-10T18:43:00.002-07:002017-09-04T19:12:03.756-07:00Surviving Current Accessing and Deployment - April 2017<div dir="ltr">
Well, as happens a lot for survivors of ritual abuse cults, Ive realised lately that I've been accessed, deployed and reprogrammed since Ive come to Perth. Programming runs deeper than I thought. Thankfully, parts have told me of the abuse, and Im now deprogramming and stopping any future abuse.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Some Background: I came to Perth in 2008 to hopefully escape the then handler and abuse in Brisbane. However, unfortunately, I was deliberately hospitalised in a psych ward south of the river as the head psychiatrist there shifted me from another hospital's Emergency ward. Then the psychiatrist and two nurses accessed me by non conscious mind control programming cueing, and then drugged and reprogrammed me by awful rape and dissociation in my room late at night. A few days later, the psychiatrist took me to his house for the weekend and reprogrammed me there. He got a cult member, as an ambulance driver, to drive me in an ambulance with a cult member nurse to a shopping centre nearby where they switched me to the psychiatrist's car. I was in a non conscious state all the time. At his house in the north, he tortured me awfully by suspending me with chains from a wall in the basement. He lied that I "killed my mother" and would only release me unless I made him "better than me" therefore controlling me. Initially, the perpetrators demanded that I go back to Brisbane, but I fought that. However, they still manipulated the non conscious control they that had produced, and started to reprogram and abuse me in Perth.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
In case you need education about mind control it goes like this. In order to control your mind, and therefore behaviour, they first abuse a process that involves drugging, manipulation of previously produced personalities, a staged setup, extreme torture, contrived allegiance, and dissociated personalities. Firstly, perpetrators put a victim into a highly suggestible state by being drugged so badly so s/he is susceptible to any information that s/he is fed. The perpetrators will also utilise previously produced cult controlled personalities and mind control them further. Then s/he is put into a setup where s/he is told lies that "s/he killed someone". This setup can be a contrived setting where the victim is told "there is an attempted murder on his/her life and she must defend herself", which s/he naturally, and legally, does out of self defence. The perpetrators goad this self defence on, and then there is a trick of some sort. One common one is that it is "revealed" that the attacker in the drama was actually a family member, and so you supposedly "killed someone in your family". There are many other deceptions they abuse, but the intent is to make the victim extremely guilt ridden and in emotional agony, and which they then manipulate further. A main perpetrator steps forward and claims s/he will "save you if s/he is allowed control of you". The handler, and then the organisation, then control you by lying that they have "saved you from a fate worse than death".</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then they compartmentalise the control into a non conscious personality. They do this by abusing our natural dissociation abilities where we can create separate and distinct personalities. During the setup, the victim is also being awfully traumatised somehow by being dangled high up in the air, or electrocuted, etc. Both the dreadful setup and the torture produce a separate personality who is formed using the dissociation process. The perpetrators deliberately produce and look out for this personality in order to contain him/her. It is this personality who carries the guilt, the threats and the allegiances, and therefore the control inside him/her. And as the trauma is so deep seated, because it is based on a life/death guilt producing scenario and extreme torture, it is at the basis of the victim's being. This state is what we will revert to when being manipulated by the handlers and organisation. Therefore, the situation consists of a personality, who is within a person, is controlled by an outside perpetrator. When accessed by a perpetrator the personality comes out and takes over the behaviour of the person because ultimately the trauma and obligations, previously experienced and contracted to, are the most powerful within the person. As the personality is contained within a separate identity and unknown to the host/person, the perpetrators can control the victim through a personality within, but unknown to, the host. The perpetrators will also lie to the personality that the host is a "bad person" and tell him/her not to talk to the host. Therefore, the perpetrators totally control the person via the totally disconnected and controlled personality within the person.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The perpetrators then sculpture the personality and other personalities they can find from previously. They do this with more staged setups and threats that "close friends and family will be killed" unless you do as they say. With more personalities comes a programming system that functions to do what the perpetrators want, to maintain being accessed by perpetrators, and to maintain the programming itself. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
QUITE DISGUSTING REALLY!!!!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And so I was reprogrammed, or programmed again, abusing the above techniques. I was non consciously told via controlled separate personalities that "every night I had to sleep in my day clothes and on the lounge (couch) near to the front door by 10pm". I thought it was strange behaviour, but it seemed to be ok.... However, what was also strange is that I couldn't sleep in my bed upstairs anymore without programming about "killing myself" would come on.... Also, I was travelling way too much than normal, I was missing time, and I felt odd being in particular places that seemed more of a dream than being real. Then I was walking around at unusual times looking for public phones and these times coincided with ritual dates such as the Autumn Equinox. This was old mind controlled behaviour from abuse years ago, and it felt worrying....</div>
<div dir="ltr">
In late March I started talking inside to personalities who had escaped control before and were now allegiant to me. They told me of a planned meeting in Sydney a couple of weeks before. On a Saturday morning I was triggered by a text sent to my mobile phone which meant I had to fulfill an order told to me in Perth before I left. I was "to meet a young blonde haired woman at the Luna Park ferry terminal at 2pm and give her the usb stick". I asked around internally more about this, and I was told that I was given a usb stick which was put into my shirt pocket the morning of the flight to Sydney from Perth. I remember that there was missing time, like a film reel of my memory was stopped, between the Elizabeth Quay railway station and the bus station to the airport. I also remembered that I must wear a shirt with a pocket that day. I had been accessed by being touched on the top left behind shoulder blade by a goon and he slipped a usb stick into my shirt pocket! Then, while in a dissociated state on the bus, I must remove the usb stick from the pocket and put it in my backpack so that it wont trigger off the metal detector and looks "normal" in my bag. All this happened in a non conscious personality state who was fearful that my "mother would be killed".</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I understand now why I must "sleep every night on the lounge near the front door in day clothes and go to sleep at 10pm". At approximately 11.30pm, a car would roll into my driveway and there would be a knock at the door. I would be in my controlled non conscious personality state and must open the door and let them in. Either they would reprogram there in the loungeroom or take me elsewhere, usually a large warehouse in Balcatta or a house in Doubleview. This happened weekly on a Thursday night. They would also take me to criminal satanic rituals at a large and private farm north of Perth when there were ritual dates such as Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Autumn Equinox, etc.<br />
Being in day wear, I wouldn't look like I was being kidnapped. If I was in my pyjamas and in a strange state of mind this would look extremely suspicious to drivers and people on the street. Also, the next day, I wouldnt think anything unusual had happened because the day wear clothes were dirty. However, if my pyjamas were dirty then I may think something was wrong. Another criminal activity they would do is abuse my check-in luggage. The night before I went away, they would come over late and put contraband articles in my luggage which perpetrators in baggage handling would take at the various places stopovers. My checked in luggage "went missing" twice on flights to and from Amsterdam airport in June last year, and now I know why. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Im getting a clearer understanding of the perpetrators and the places. One is a Chinese politician in Perth and a son of the politician. Three others are the aforementioned psychiatrist and two nursing staff from a psych ward in a southern Perth hospital. Three others are women. One is middle aged with red hair, and is also a psychiatrist working in a northern mental health unit who lives in a northern suburb not far from the hospital. This red haired woman also worked at a psychology/psychiatric clinic in Perth. Another woman is older and gaunt with white strangly hair, and is a senior nurse at a Perth hospital north of the river where the red haired woman works. She is also the mother of the red haired woman. There is also a darkhaired woman with short hair who also works at the clinic in Perth where the red haired woman once worked. This clinic is basically a cult front. There is also a very obese young blonde woman. I have told my therapist all of this information.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
What Ive learnt: always be wary that you may currently be abused. Dont go into a program that "nothing awful is happening to me" or "I have escaped". Having been mind controlled before, there are parts who could still be cult loyal and are returning to them. Mind control is very deep and entrenched, and the perpetrators dont want to lose a victim whom they make a shit load of money out of being a courier of child pornography or anything else highly illegal, and as a zombie watcher of their disgusting rituals. They are evil, power obsessed and very greedy. They see you as as a very profitable commodity as you look and are normal, and deliberately have no awareness of being abused. We can carry expensive commodities, such as child pornography on usb sticks, or information about shipping arrivals which have expensive commodities, such as illegal drugs, without us knowing. </div>

<span lang="EN-US"> These pages have been written for survivors, and their supporters, of ritual abuse. It is a general education and a summary of ritual abuse. The pages have a focus on the Australian situation and resources. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="GramE"><span lang="EN-US">To see who I am please see the About Me section on the right of this page.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">What is Ritual Abuse?</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Ritual abuse is abuse done within an <span class="SpellE">organisation</span> that practices extremely criminal activities, <u>and </u>within a specified calendar. Firstly, the calendar dates are what distinguishes it from abuse by other organized crime. Criminal practices such as murder and rape are done to victims at predetermined yearly ceremonies. <span class="SpellE">Organised</span> crime however abuse rape and murder to fulfill their illegal money-making activities. The ritual abuse perpetrators want to obtain complete power and they think they can achieve it by <span class="SpellE">ritualised</span> murder, rape and other atrocious acts of people and animals. The rapes, murders, etc. are <span class="SpellE">organised</span> for specific dates of a calendar. Specific people are also killed and harmed at those dates. <span class="SpellE">Eg</span> a child is raped on a certain date. Therefore serious and murderous harm is actually <span class="SpellE">institutionalised</span> by both the organization of it and within specific yearly dates. The term ritual abuse comes from how yearly rituals, which ordinarily are productive and wholesome such as Easter, are inverted horrendously so as to be dreadfully abused. To a ritual abuse cult/<span class="SpellE">organisation</span> these atrocious dates are the supposed fulfillment of their megalomania.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Secondly, the <u>criminality </u>is also what distinguishes it from other <span class="SpellE">organised</span> <span class="SpellE">behaviour</span> which <span class="GramE">have</span> a calendar of set dates. The groups that <span class="SpellE">organise</span> and practice activities on these dates may have anti social or even socially accepted <span class="SpellE">behaviour</span>. Satanic, pagan, witchcraft, etc groups that <u>do not practice criminal activities </u>are examples of these. Ritual abuse cults and groups are those that are <u>criminal</u>.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Some of the cult's/<span class="SpellE">organisation's</span> crimes are also about obtaining wealth. Other cult activities are <span class="SpellE">organised</span> child and adult pornography and prostitution, human trade, unethical medical and military experimentation, etc. and which are similar to other <span class="SpellE">organised</span> crime. Further extreme harm occurs with the torturous indoctrination. This includes drugging, hypnosis, electrocution, being forced to watch brutal videos, etc. There are also deliberate setups of no choice where the victim is forced to believe s/he “killed a loved one”. The survivor had to do so in self <span class="SpellE">defence</span>, but is lied to that s/he had “a choice”. This setup is done repetitively in order to maintain <span class="GramE">control,</span> and to enforce the cult’s ideology of power by murder. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The <span class="SpellE">organisations</span> generally consist of cults or small groups and <span class="SpellE">organisations</span>. Their <span class="SpellE">categorisation</span> depends on their style. Some feel like a cult, while others have a military type of <span class="SpellE">organisation</span>, and others have a less regimented "small group" feel. They can abuse religions/ideologies/historical figures that are anti-societal, cruel and inhumane such as Nazism or Nero worship. They can also adopt traditional pagan like religions/ideologies such as Satanism, Paganism, Witchcraft, etc and make them criminal, and/or pervert mainstream religions/ideologies such as Christianity and Masonry. They can also produce a new “religion” and <span class="SpellE">utilise</span> it for producing criminal and horrific rituals. Their aim, as mentioned, is to bolster their megalomania by <span class="SpellE">organised</span> homicide, rape, cannibalism, etc, and to incorporate this into a yearly calendar so that it becomes <span class="SpellE">institutionalised</span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The abuse can be current and/or from suffering its effects. Most survivors are usually being abused when they first <span class="SpellE">realise</span> that the cults/<span class="SpellE">organisations</span> are mistreating them. They need to firstly escape the current abuse in order to stop any further abuse and reprogramming. They then work on past abuse. For some survivors the abuse is totally in the past. Their perpetrators are dead and the cult/<span class="SpellE">organisation</span> does not affect them anymore, or the cult/<span class="SpellE">organisation</span> disbanded and so the survivor is not being abused currently. Also what has happened is that the survivor really has escaped the perpetrators by moving to a new area, or has excellent safety from the perpetrators where s/he was recently abused. (However, much caution is needed in really knowing that s/he has escaped or has total safety from the perpetrators as the perpetrators will lie that “s/he is safe” and this may well be untrue). Survivors not working on current abuse, work on memories from the past. </span><br />

<b>Important Concerns When Reading This Webpage</b><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Terminology: Victims, Survivors, Victims/Survivors and Perpetrators</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">In this webpage there are basically four types of people. The first are the innocent people who do not desire to be part of ritual abuse. They are brainwashed so that they are not conscious of any part of what happened/is happening. The non consciousness means s/he is not aware of the ceremonies and activities and therefore cannot escape the cult, and is intended so that s/he will not remember it later. S/he is therefore a victim as s/he does not have control over her/his life. There are also innocent people who desired/desire to leave but could not because of threats and violence. S/he knew s/he was being abused but could not escape. In both cases of knowing and not knowing, s/he is a victim because s/he could not stop the control and get away.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">A survivor is someone who had been able to know that s/he is/was being abused, and has been/is making efforts to leave the cult and not participate in<u> its </u>atrocities, and to work on the programming and memories. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">A lot of the time a person can be both a survivor/victim as s/he could still be accessed and abused in the activities without knowing it fully. However, s/he knows there is or maybe abuse still going on and is making efforts to stop the abuse. Therefore s/he is also a survivor and is called a victim/survivor in the webpage. <span class="GramE">Its</span> the aim, ability and condition of the person that makes her/him a survivor or a victim/survivor. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Perpetrators are those that consciously know that they are at ritual abuse activities and willingly desire to do them. They are members of a criminal organization and deliberately wish to be so. Their intent is to knowingly harm.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US">Issues When Reading the <span class="SpellE">Webpages</span> </span></b><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US">Safety</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">The information in these pages may be triggering and overwhelming. Please read at a pace that supports you. If you feel overwhelmed, are starting to have flashbacks, feel nauseous, etc, take time out and come back when you feel refreshed. Recovery is a process that you can control by being aware of what you can <span class="SpellE">deak</span> with. You can also ring a friend, a telephone crisis service, a mental health team or a therapist/<span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>. If ringing someone unknown such as a telephone crisis service, you do not need to say you are a ritual abuse survivor. The person listening is concerned about your well being, and so you do not have to explain anything if you don’t want to. Sometimes you may feel you are in a personality who has a <span class="SpellE"><span class="GramE">childs</span></span> or teenagers age. <span class="GramE">Do</span> what you think would help a child and teenager of that age.</span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">What is ritual abuse?</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Ritual abuse is the ritualising of extreme and inhumane power over others. The perpetrators wish to sustain a megalomaniac point of view and to have control over life and death. They will kill or dehumanise people and animals as much as possible to fulfill this megalomania. They believe that murder, death, rape, incest, etc are “to be valued” and people are treated as objects of control. They ritualise these destructive practices by holding severely injurious and morbid ceremonies within a predetermined calendar of dates. It is this calendar that separates ritual abuse cults/organisations from other organised crime which deliberately dehumanises others. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Perpetrators abuse ideologies and practices that fulfill this megalomania. They use known destructive and anti-humane quasi religions such as Satanism to substantiate these beliefs, and/or will pervert beneficial religions such as Christianity. Therefore ritual ceremonies could be Satanic in style and about ceremonial murder and rape. Or they could pervert the Christmas mass so that a murder occurs instead of the Eucharist. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">It is done within an extremely secretive organization. As murder, rape, etc are extremely criminal, the organisations are very secretive. They abuse code words in communication and indoctrinate victims by extreme cruelty so that they are either not conscious of the abuse or are too terrified to tell authorities. The calendar dates such as Halloween for Satanic Ritual Abuse and Hitler’s Birthday for the Nazi cult, are what separates it from abuse by other organized crime. Organised crime incorporates violence into its structure. Criminal organisations may kill for control and “protection”, however they do not kill for a solely predetermined and gratuitous purpose. Only ritual abuse cults/organisations do extremely criminal activities within a specific predetermined calendar. The ritual abuse cult/organization sets out to kill a specific type of person e.g. a child, and at a specific time e.g. May 1<sup>st</sup> (Beltane). This ritual bolsters their megalomania. By knowing that this ritual has been organized for centuries, the perpetrators believe that they have “superhuman powers” passed down through time. This is different to say a male gang rape of a woman where the rapists find a victim that day to bolster their aggressive sexism.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Other activities by the cults/organisations are organised child and adult pornography and prostitution, human trade, drug production and selling, money laundering, etc, and which are similar to other organized crime. The cult abuses victims in order to produce these illegal and expensive commodities. These crimes are about obtaining wealth as well as control and power. More abuse occurs with the torturous indoctrination. This includes drugging, hypnosis, electrocution, being forced to watch brutal videos, etc. There are also deliberate setups of no choice where the victim is forced to kill, or is deceived that s/he “killed”. The reality is that it was in self defence but s/he is lied to that it was “intentional”. This setup is done in a repetitive manner in order to instill control by the cult’s ideology of power by murder.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">It was called ritual abuse because when survivors first started describing the abuse in the 1980s they spoke mainly of the revolting rituals of the calendar dates e.g. Halloween. Other aspects of the abuse then became known, such as the extremely violent indoctrination. This meant that the term needed to be extended. Examples of titles that were developed are Ritualistic Abuse, Organised Sadistic Abuse, Ritual Abuse Torture and Organised Perpetrator Group Abuse. However these terms are also too broad. For example, people can be tortured in rituals in wartime concentration camps and it has nothing to do with organized murder. Also they should not be confused with 'ritualistic abuse' (done in a ritualised manner such as beating a child daily). Nor is it open and non abusive satanism, where worshipping Satan by itself is not criminal. It is still mostly known as Ritual Abuse as the term still has merit. It is the predetermined abuse of horrific rituals on prescribed calendar dates that sets it apart from other organized crime. The most common form of ritual abuse is Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) as Satanism is the most common ideology the perpetrators use. However there are many other ritual abuse cults such as Nazism, Perverted Masonry, Baal Worship, Pagan Worship, Witch/Warlock worship etc. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The timing of the abusive dates depends upon the cult themselves. The cult leader decides which days are to be for cult murders, rapes, etc. They usually fall within the specific ideologies’ traditional calendar, but can be changed to suit the cult leaders birthday, etc. For example, within satanic ritual abuse, major times are Halloween (October 31st), Beltane (May 1st), Easter and Christmas (with the last two perverted in their Christian rituals). Nazi groups “celebrate” on Hitler’s Birthday and when he became Chancellor. Baal groups and Perverted Masons also have specific days/nights when they murder and rape. Also some organizations are now using a cover of a public holiday especially if it is close to the date or on it. For example, a supposed Labour Day party for Beltane (May 1<sup>st</sup>) is now being abused.</span><br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Ritual abuse is done primarily within small groups. The organisations generally consist of cults or small quasi 'religious' groups. They are called cults when the emphasis is greatly on the ritual ceremonies and there is a cult like ideology e.g. Satanism. They are called groups when there is emphasis on the organizing as a group rather than the quasi religious aspects. They are a group which organizes a date specific murder, rape, etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Bega where the main abuse for the region happened. The local cult though was in a specific suburban area of Wollongong. If the whole region was “celebrating” we all had to go to Bega. The cults can also be within a national or international organization. Some large international cults are The Illuminati (which is mainly Satanic), Baal, Nazism and Perverted Masonry. Some cults can be totally focused on the cult leader and what s/he wants rather than a regional, national or internationally adhered cult. I was also abused by a mayor of a city (Wollongong) who thought he was the Roman emperor Nero. His murders and rapes were totally within a Roman and Nero worshipping scenario, and not within a larger cult that I knew of such as Satanism. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Each cult leader (regardless of cult “affinity”) networks with other cult leaders locally, nationally and internationally. The reasons are for outlining the cults “turf” (area) and whether a cult leader can have a ritual abuse ceremony in a particular area, to organise the programming which is done mainly by the very powerful Illuminati cult, to invite members of an area to its own ritual abuse ceremony, to sell a victim for murder, to perpetrate organized pedophilia, to sell victims of one cult to another, etc. When I was six the father once took me on an illegal flight from Sydney to Las Vegas via cult controlled military bases (including Hawaii) to go to a ritual abuse ceremony which was also held at a cult controlled military base. The cult in Las Vegas had invited members from Australia.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The cult/group itself is hierarchical. They have a hierarchy of a leader/dictator, members (those who know and desire the cult’s ideology) and victims (people who are deliberately indoctrinated to not be conscious of the abuse or are terrified into not escaping). It consists of mainly three levels. Each person has specific roles within a level. These include: lower levels- cleaning, setting up the sites, etc; mid levels- brainwashing, keeping tabs on people, kidnapping, organising prostitution, etc; upper levels- controlling the sites, networking, administration, etc. They are basically small personal armies controlled by a virtual dictator of the cult/group. Both public and private resources are abused. Eg. a member can work in a government department and access information.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The leader/s of the cults/organizations obtain the most power. They control the abuse and money is directed mainly to them. It is them that organise the rituals and the profiteering. They do most of the killing, raping and hurting of people as they wish to get “power” from it. The leaders also have powerful positions in society. The cults/organizations could not exist unless there was some clout to cover up the activities, and a large monetary base for the prostitution, pornography, human trade, networking, etc. This is to not say that other and less powerful members don’t want control. They also find “power” within the rituals and exhibit psychological control over their families. They also sell the children for money. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Extent </span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Judging from the locations of survivors' reports, ritual abuse occurs in all western countries. Survivors have also come forward from most Australian towns, cities and rural areas. It is difficult (and inconsequential) to outline the full extent of cult activity as we are only beginning to map it. Survivors come from all classes, ages, genders, sexualities, abilities and races/ethnicities. Survivors from eastern and Asian countries are also now coming forward. I was witness to what looks like ritual abuse in Malaysia. I was at a hospital there and one Friday the Thirteenth two people were mysteriously killed on the ward at about ten o’clock by having their life support turned off. They were then placed in ambulances and no one knew where they were taken to. Id say they were then taken to a ritual abuse ceremony and cannibalism took place. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Cults can congregate in a specific area depending upon whether they have control of important social institutions. If they control the police, education (schools), churches, retirement villages, etc in a local area they will mostly assemble there. They particularly want to control a church in order to desecrate it. The cult are like cuckoos in that they pretend to the outside world that they have particular social roles and even have the qualifications such as being a church minister. But really they are cult members and use their position to control a body/institution and/or have local power in a district’s jurisdiction. At two schools where I went there were cult teachers, principals and deputy principals. I was abused at a church where the minister was cult. Cult members could also be within the Department of Housing and give precedence to other cult members. Nearly all of the government departments have cult members in it and abuse the services and networks of the department for cult ends. They will also abuse a socially respectable group such as a Christian group as a front for their activities. I was abused by pedophiles masquerading as a “Christian” group in southern Wollongong and my Mum didn’t realise.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The conduct ceremonies where they know it is some distance from where people are or where they wont be noticed. Farms, mines and open areas in the middle of the bush are abused particularly by cults/groups. They could also abuse a church or a school auditorium if they know they can watch and stop any of the public knowing what is going on inside. I was abused at a farmhouse owned by a cult member in southern Wollongong, NSW. I was also abused in two school auditoriums in southern Wollongong.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The well respected page for ritual abuse survivors <a href="http://www.survivorship.org/">survivorship.org</a> did a survey in 1993 of places where its members were abused. The results are in this survey:</span><a href="http://www.survivorship.org/resources/articles/Survivorshipgeog.survey.pdf"> http://www.survivorship.org/resources/articles/Survivorshipgeog.survey.pdf</a> Being seventeen years old, and more survivors coming out all the time and all over the world, these statistics would have changed by now. There would be more survivors and more places.<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Ritual abuse has been in existence for some time. In the 14th century BC there was the worship of Baal by the Canaanites and Phoenicians and which included animal and human sacrifice. These continued and were known in The Bible (Leviticus 20 and 2 Kings 23) where they mention that the Hebrews carried out human sacrificial rituals. The Druids in England and Scotland also carried out human sacrifice before the coming of Christianity in the sixth century AD. In South America and Mexico, the Incas and Aztecs also performed human sacrifice rituals. In Europe in the Middle Ages the Knights Templar conducted human murder and delved into the Black Arts. In the seventeenth century there was the European group involved in Rosicrucianism which was doing Satanic criminal activities. Overt Ritual Abuse has also been currently documented in Malaysia, India, Thailand, Peru and Chile. In July, 2010, there was a media report of Satanists in Russia killing and eating human victims. Please see <a href="http://www.news.com.au/world/russian-satanists-jailed-for-gruesome-ritual-murders/story-e6frfkyi-1225897258373">http://www.news.com.au/world/russian-satanists-jailed-for-gruesome-ritual-murders/story-e6frfkyi-1225897258373</a> In March 2011 there was a revealing story about a ritual abuse cult operating at Wales. Please see <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12690580">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12690580</a>. Older survivors speak of transgenerational abuse which means that their grandparents were involved and dates the activity at least until the 1930s.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">The Criminality </span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The list is: </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Homicide- done singularly and collectively, preplanned, within ceremonies, as "snuff" or real murder movies; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Torture- within the ceremonies; by the indoctrination/programming; by unethical experimentation;</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Kidnapping - of people from the streets, of babies and children from parents who are victims of the cult already; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Unlawful detention – keeping people in compounds and basements,</span><span lang="EN-US"> people locked away for producing children who are then murdered,</span><span lang="EN-US"> etc. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Criminal violence - starved, electrocuted, raped, etc; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Sexual assault - violated by rape and incest by one or more perpetrators, occurring in ceremonies, organized pornography and prostitution, and within homes. The organised pedophilia and abuse of non consenting adults in sexual situations can be very far reaching and even global.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Human trade industry- human production within compounds, illegal child “adoption” rings, prostitution; slave trade; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Drug production and trafficking; money laundering; and networking with other similar organizations such as the mafia and klu klux klan. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Extremely violent indoctrination - The conditioning process is also very abuse, and consists of severe psychological and physical violence. Survivors can be placed in front of a video screen with their eyes taped open and forced to watch a video enactment of a scenario where the survivor has no choice but to kill someone or s/he will be killed. The video player and images are similar to Wii technology where everything is simulated. The survivor becomes obliged to the handler as s/he lies that s/he “saved the victim” from the scenario. Please see <a href="http://survivingritualabuseaustralia.blogspot.com/2011/10/programming-or-indoctrination-as-with.html">The Programming or Indoctrination</a> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Related Abuse</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Many ritual abuse survivors are also abused by related criminal organisations that are mainly within government departments, especially in Foreign Affairs and Trade, espionage agencies eg ASIO and the military. People are non consciously abused for carrying information, carrying drugs, observing of people to obtain social information eg Muslim people and whether they are anti Western, etc. You can go to my webpage on Australian government mind control for more information on the Australian abuse. You can also go to webpages that have international resources such as <a href="http://www.ra-info.org/related/programming.shtml">http://www.ra-info.org/related/programming.shtml</a> .</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Most ritual abuse survivors I know have memories of sexual abuse, usually as molestation and rape as a child and this is important to address in itself. The ABC did a powerful story about the sexual abuse of children and its impact on survivors and denial by many powerful people in society. It is at </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://blogs.radioaustralia.net.au/today/cathys-story-of-child-sex-abuse-we-must-believe-them">http://blogs.radioaustralia.net.au/today/cathys-story-of-child-sex-abuse-we-must-believe-them</a></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Survivors usually suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorders (D.I.D.) where the person dissociates (spaces out, goes into another personality, etc). Some of the dissociation is deliberate by the cult handlers in order to control an amnesic personality (a personality not known to the person but still part of him/her) and/or because the trauma memories are so overpowering that its spaces a person out and s/he is not aware of where s/he is ie. like day dreaming. This webpage has clear understandings of dissociation <a href="http://www.ppfoundation.org/pict_did.aspx">http://www.ppfoundation.org/pict_did.aspx</a></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Denial of Its Existence</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Ritual abuse is currently denied by many professionals. Those in denial annoyingly have some powerful positions in society such as psychiatrists, journalists and lawyers. Deniers think that “devil worship cannot be believed because the acts only exist in ‘uncivilized countries’ which have voodoo, etc, and not Western ones”. They also only occurred “In the Medieval Ages and not now”. Many in the psychology and medical professions are psychiatrists, psychologists and doctors. They tend to come from a “medical model” of psychology and emphasizes physiological aspects for understanding trauma rather than psychological ones. They also think that ritual abuse survivors are “delusional” and see this as part of the “problem” ie. that they “have to overcome their delusions first before they can get better”. These psychiatrists, psychologists and doctors do not present any evidence that the victims/survivors are “making it up”. They do not disprove the victim/survivor and show that the victim/survivor was never abused. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Also journalists have written many articles and books in the intent of discrediting ritual abuse survivors and supporters, and lawyers have defended satanic cult members in court cases. All of them including psychiatrists, psychologists and doctors, do not try and understand that current Western society is a very violent one even with news headlines telling them this. What real difference is there between gang of football thugs raping a woman and a Satanic cult raping a boy? Current statistics have that approximately one third of girls/women and a quarter of boys/men as being victims of child sexual assault. By looking at the media there are actual cases of programming and abuse by organisations known to be related to the cults such as the CIA. In the news of August 25<sup>th</sup> 2009 the CIA was being criticized for its covert and unethical abuse of threats including murdering detainees’ children. Survivors know that the CIA has been covertly abusing people within cults for decades. It is now known that the CIA developed the exact same programming abused on ritual abuse victims, and have abused them in their nefarious activities of drug production and transportation. This knowledge was found by researching declassified CIA information. For more information about this see <a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/mindcontrol">http://www.wanttoknow.info/mindcontrol</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">If we are to look at some media reports it is easy to see that ritual abuse has occurred. In the news of 31<sup>st</sup> August 2009 there is a story about two girls who were described by a doctor as “being programmed by their father”. This was the horrible case of the kidnapping by Garrido in the U.S. of a young woman who was then held captive in Garrido’s backyard and her daughters and most probably her being programmed. For more information do a web search on “Garrido” and “California”. In the news of July 29<sup>th</sup>, 2010, there is the horrible story of a “polite” French couple who are accused of murdering eight newborn babies and burying them in the yard of a house <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/29/2967138.htm">http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/29/2967138.htm</a>. Then there are media reports that are more direct such as the satanic ritualised killing and cannabalism of Russian perpetrators from July 27<sup>th</sup>, 2010. Please see <a href="http://www.news.com.au/world/russian-satanists-jailed-for-gruesome-ritual-murders/story-e6frfkyi-1225897258373">http://www.news.com.au/world/russian-satanists-jailed-for-gruesome-ritual-murders/story-e6frfkyi-1225897258373</a>. In the U.S. there was a story in August 2010 of grave sites bein broken into, the bodies stolen and parts of the body such as the skull abused for rituals. There was also animal sacrifices. Please see <a href="http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/cult-blamed-for-vandalism-and-theft-of-girls-body-at-pennsylvania-cemetery/19611030">http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/cult-blamed-for-vandalism-and-theft-of-girls-body-at-pennsylvania-cemetery/19611030 </a> If all of these stories cannot be opened as the media outlet had outdated it, please use a search engine of the media outlet or an Internet one. For example, for the French story, please use “French couple murder eight newborn babies”, for the Russian story use “ Russian Satanists gruesome ritual murders” and for the U.S. story use “</span>Cult Blamed for Cemetery Vandalism, Theft of Body”.<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Those professionals and others in denial either cant see that it could exist or are simply being fronts for the cults. Some who deny its existence are genuinely coming from a worldview of denial of horrible trauma existing currently. They are not being malicious. They cannot cope with horrific trauma. Unfortunately survivors and supporters also wish they did not have powerful positions in society and are annoyed at their powerful abilities. Some are actually cult perpetrators and abuse their positions as such. Quite definitely not all professionals in denial are cult perpetrators, and its not beneficial for a survivor to become paranoid that “all deniers are perpetrators”. The majority of deniers cannot cope with understanding and accepting horrific trauma especially by a cult/group. They go into denial and will use non beneficial methods such as studying physiological methods of studying emotional trauma even though emotional trauma really is psychological. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">These are questions which professionals in denial should consider about ritual abuse. Devil worship has been known to exist for centuries. Historical and government records have described them. Why would devil worshippers suddenly stop their activities simply because it is a modern, technological twenty first century? They would be inclined to become more secretive as policing and other methods of catching criminals have improved. In fact, the programming developed in the 1950s was done so that victims would not remember anything and therefore go to the police. In terms of the memories, these are horrible things that survivors wish they didn’t have to endure. Why would we make up problems, and especially severely traumatic problems that we have to face? Memories cause us to stop work and study and to have horrible debilitating days. We don’t get any monetary benefit and I for one can think up other and less painful ways of “attracting attention”, and which I don’t do anyway.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Belief In Its Existence: From “Delusional” to Evidence</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Ritual Abuse has existed for centuries. Since the14th century BC there has been the worship of Baal by the Canaanites and Phoenicians and which included animal and human sacrifice. Older survivors from transgenerational groups have stated that their grandparents were involved and so therefore the abuse existed from at least the 1930s going backwards. Survivors have described activity in all western countries, and we now have survivors coming forth from the east. As said I was witness to what looks like ritual abuse in Malaysia. I was at a hospital there and one Friday the Thirteenth two people were killed on the ward at about ten o’clock by having their life support turned off. Id say they were then taken to a ritual abuse ceremony and cannibalism took place. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Survivors have been telling the police, media, psychiatrists, etc for many, many years about devil worship, organized murders, etc., However, they had been labelled "mad" or "liars" because society could not deal with the issue. Many if not most hospitals and psychiatric wards still think ritual abuse victims/survivors are “delusional”. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">In the mid nineteen eighties, sensitive and intelligent psychiatrists and counsellors started to believe survivors. By then widespread sexual assault and organized pedophilia, domestic violence, violence against minorities eg. gay and lesbian people, etc was validated. Society was also opposing war (organized homicide) and understanding how entrenched violence was and still is. Very sensitive and rational counsellors and psychiatrists could therefore accept that ritual abuse existed. It was/is part of a continuum, and not something foreign to a violent society.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Concerned people could also look back at history and find examples of ritual abuse and even when the Satanism was downplayed. For example, the 1969 Manson murders of Sharon Tate and her friends in the United States was ritualized and organized within a satanic framework. Also disturbing, and yet still common crimes could be understood. For example ritual abuse survivors believe that people who are “missing” in community magazines such as The Big Issue are kidnapped and usually killed in ceremonies.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Successful court prosecutions from around the world also validated the existence. Satanic style murders, exposing organized pedophilia with cult overtones and connections, etc showed that there were not a small number and were not isolated. Please see the Believe the Children community group's compilation of ritual abuse crimes at The Ritual Abuse, Ritual Crime and Healing Webpage.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://www.ra-info.org/resources/ra_cases2.shtml">http://www.ra-info.org/resources/ra_cases2.shtml</a>. Also Literature on the evidence of cases at <a href="http://endritualabuse.org/evidence/brief-synopsis-of-the-literature-on-the-existence-of-ritualistic-abuse/">http://endritualabuse.org/evidence/brief-synopsis-of-the-literature-on-the-existence-of-ritualistic-abuse/</a> In 1996 a US Senate Inquiry into Government Mind Control revealed the same brainwashing methods abused in ritual abuse organizations. The U.S. government had validated that the specific type of programming abusing dissociation and torture had been developed by the C.I.A. and was/is abused in criminal organisations. In 2000 President, Bill Clinton said that "Every day around the world and even t(here) in the United States, children are sold into virtual slavery or trafficked for the worst forms of sexual abuse." </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">In Australia two cases have shown that ritual abuse exists here. In 2004, Garry Ford, was gaoled in Brisbane for eight years for “sexually abusing teenage boys during pagan rituals to initiate them into a group dubbed the White Brotherhood” (Oberhardt and Keim, Courier Mail newspaper, August, 2004). </span>In 2006, the Roman Catholic Cardinal, Bell, admitted that a former priest in Melbourne was involved in ritual abuse (including murder) after accepting the evidence of a survivor and paying compensation (Hughes, news.com.au webpage, May, 2006). <br />
<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Two Australian government enquiries also showed that ritual abuse could exist. The Chelmsford Royal Commission (1988-90) revealed that doctors, and in hospitals, did drug and traumatise innocent people without their consent. This was similar to current and past ritual abuse indoctrination methods. The 1996/7 New South Wales Wood Royal Commission into the Police Service revealed organized pedophilia within the Police Service and other government departments. It also stated that with ritual abuse: “It cannot be assumed that all disclosures of satanic ritual abuse can be discarded as hysterical, or untrue, or iatrogenically induced (caused by therapy). Experience has shown that pscyhosexual or sadistic abuse and murder of children does occur and that more than one person may be implicated in such crimes”. Australian governments also started subsidising research and education about ritual abuse. In 2006 the New South Wales government subsidised research and education about ritual abuse by a national service helping adult survivors of abuse including ritual abuse. This is ASCA or Advocates for Survivors of Child Abuse. They have the publication at <a href="http://www.asca.org.au/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=26">http://www.asca.org.au/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=26</a></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Many professionals in the Police Service, Legal System, Education, Community Work etc believe that ritual abuse exists and will investigate cases with knowledge that ritual abuse does occur. For example on the 30<sup>th</sup> August, 2009, The Daily Telegraph in New South Wales published a story about a mother who was giving away her new born babies. The article reads: “One of the police lines of inquiry is the possibility that Leonie (a new born daughter) was killed as part of some dark, satanic ritual."There is a subculture of devil worshipping in this country,'' (Police) Inspector Seymour said. "We can't discount that it has something to do with what happened to Leonie.'' For the full story please see <a href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sunday-telegraph/stop-my-daughter-having-babies/story-e6frewt0-1225767344587">http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sunday-telegraph/stop-my-daughter-having-babies/story-e6frewt0-1225767344587</a> or do a web search of “Hutchinson, babies” in the <a href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/">Daily Telegraph</a> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Belief In Its Existence: A Rational Viewpoint</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">A rational viewpoint can also be used. Why is it that survivors from all over the world, and who have never met each other, can explain the very same complicated and technical forms of both the rituals and the indoctrination? They have been also doing this for at least twenty years. For example, programming is quite technical and involves specific stages, methods and abuse of specific machinery, etc. This information only now exists publically through survivors coming forth. Survivors were validating each other in the late 1980s and early 1990s without publically known information.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Society generally is opening up to understanding widespread abuse. In the last forty years it has progressed very well. It has accepted the existence, and then seriously challenged war, widescale sexual assault, domestic violence, violence against minorities and organized pedophilia. Ritual abuse, will by progression, be the next form of abuse to be understood and eradicated. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The organizations are also within a continuum of societal abuse. Wars are organized killing; working and middle class workers are conditioned to work and threatened by the army if they don't; and sexual assault can be institutionalized (e.g. within the Catholic Church) and widespread. Certain companies know that their workplace can kill people, but allow the bad conditions to continue in order that they make profits. An example is that of James Hardie Australia which allowed workers to be affected by known cancer forming asbestos material. Please see the ABC news report at <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/08/20/2661579.htm">http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/08/20/2661579.htm</a> or look up information on James Hardie and abestos cancer. Ritual Abuse is one end of a spectrum of horrific abuse.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"> </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Abuse awareness starts mainly at a grass roots level. All the previous campaigns e.g. gay liberation began with people talking at a local level to either each other, counsellors, support generally, etc. This is where ritual abuse awareness currently (2010) is at. Survivors are getting together at workshops, through webpages and email groups, support groups in counselling centres, etc, to validate and support each other and campaign for societal validation. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">In Australia, most government and religious counsellors, incest and sexual assault groups, and womens and mens liberation groups accept the existence of ritual abuse. Individuals within the media, police, education, etc, and psychiatrists and counsellors in private practice also support this. Institutions generally are either non accepting, defensive or cautious. The public has an awareness that secretive criminal organizations do murder and in organized ways (e.g. Ku Klux Klan), and that there are heinous organisations in recent history such as the Nazis and their concentration camps. Therefore very destructive cults could also exist. It would not be difficult to expose that other such cults/organizations of a criminal satanic, nazi, druidic ideology exist also. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">It is all important to talk with counsellors, agencies, journalists, etc that believe or at best are open to believing it. It is not good for the victim/survivor, their supporters and society generally to not be heard or invalidated. It also takes a lot of time and energy to report on ritual abuse. There is broad support and counsellors who will listen to survivors and supporters. One needs to simply look for a receptive, intelligent and compassionate ear. A good place to start is your local sexual assault agency. On my<a href="http://survivingritualabuseaustralia.blogspot.com/2011/10/support.html"> Support page</a> you can find the names, addresses and telephone numbers of sexual assault agencies that I know work with ritual abuse survivors and/or can refer.</span><br />

</div><span lang="EN-US">As with all abusive organizations, ritual abuse groups have a process of indoctrination. Victims are indoctrinated to perform roles and tasks both at the rituals and for the organization. We are also coerced to keep silent, to not read or gather information about ritual abuse, to not escape, etc. The ritual abuse indoctrination is also called programming as it is intended to make the victim like a programmed robot following specific cues for particular <span class="SpellE">behaviours</span>. The aim of the indoctrination is to entrap the person into being totally submissive. It is concerned with instilling lies through violence and trickery. The lies are: supposed “worthlessness without the group/cult”; that perpetrators "love" you; the outside world e.g. <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> and loving family and friends "hates and disbelieves you"; you will "always be alone"; you "enjoyed the violence"; etc. The programming torture happens in all areas: physical e.g. beatings, food deprivation, <span class="GramE">electrocution</span>; psychological e.g. abuse of mind altering drugs; emotional e.g. family deprivation; and sexual e.g. multiple and child rape.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The indoctrination process usually includes drugging, hypnosis, electrocution, being forced to watch brutal videos, etc. The first steps of drugging and hypnosis dangerously impair the <span class="GramE">persons</span> ability to see things clearly, to act rationally on it, and to escape and fight the torture and deception. The victim can be lied to by hypnotic suggestion that “there is family present”, there is “a gun”, that s/he is “killing someone”, etc. The drugging also makes the victim susceptible to lies told by the perpetrators and the inability to see what is really happening. Electrocution, particularly in the genital and anal areas, is abused in order to threaten, control and punish. Other physical torture is being suspended from cages, handcuffed and being put next to a revolving saw, locked away in a basement, etc <span class="GramE">The</span> cults in the last thirty years or so have been abusing specifically made videos which have the scenarios the handler wants to abuse. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The programming consists of setups where a victim/survivor is deliberately placed in a no choice scenario that usually involves family and friends or simulations of “family” and “friends”. The setups could be on screen, in a staged play, or real depending upon where the victim is and how much the family are involved. The “family” or “friends” could be on a screen and the victim/survivor is strapped into a chair so they cannot escape and their eyes are taped open. They are forced to watch the simulation on screen. In the last thirty or more years perpetrators have been abusing videos and three dimensional images (similar to <span class="SpellE">Wii</span> technology) on screen to play out the scenarios. These are particularly abused when they do not have the real family at the setup. For example, I was being abused in Brisbane and my family lived in Wollongong and the perpetrators and handler would try and deceive me that my family “was there”. They were actors on a screen and not my family. In a different situation, the victim could be placed in a play like setting similar to a staged drama. Perpetrators maybe acting as “family” or “friends” and stand around the victim playing out the setup. The real family could also be there. If they are innocent as mine are they too are drugged, hypnotized and programmed. They are also manipulated in the scenario. If they are perpetrators they will be conscious of what is going on. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The setups are of awful life or death situations involving supposed “family” or “friends” of the victim. The victim is placed in a deliberately guilt induced situation where s/he is forced to kill in order to save her/himself or others. The situation deliberately does not have a choice. In an example of one scenario, the victim has to shoot the loved one (Mum, brother, nephew, etc) or s/he will be shot by the loved one. S/he understandably shoots the loved one to save her/himself. This is legally and morally acceptable as it is self <span class="SpellE">defence</span>. In one situation, the victim is drugged and hypnotized, strapped to a seat, electrocuted especially in the anal and genital areas in order to sit still and not move, and has his/her eyes taped open. S/he is forced to watch videos on a computer screen of the simulated setups of “loved ones killing him/her” which s/he thinks is real and understandably shoots the “loved one”. Another example is a young boy who when drugged is lied to that his “Mum has a gun” and which he believes. It is in fact a stick and the drugged and non conscious Mum thinks she has a “pen”. Again he has every right to hit back and stop the gun being shot as this is what he was led to believe and because of self <span class="SpellE">defence</span>. However the perpetrators manipulate the scenarios so that the victim is made to feel extremely guilt ridden and suicidal. The drugging, hypnosis and physical pain e.g. electrocution stop the victim seeing clearly what is happening, of being rational about it, and running away from the setup altogether. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">When at this suicidal level another perpetrator then steps in and lies that “s/he will save the victim”. The “saving” is within sweet talking and supposed “support”. The victim feels better because s/he has been “saved” and even becomes grateful. However it is really only on condition that the victim effectively obeys what the perpetrator says. The victim is caught again and has no choice. S/he is either suicidal or accepting of the perpetrator’s demands. The perpetrator then becomes the handler and controller of the victim. The handler will in future abuse this programming setup to guilt trip the victim/survivor about how s/he “saved the victim/survivor” and how the victim must do as the handler says. <span class="GramE">The <span class="SpellE">suicidality</span> that the victim has when not obeying the handler’s orders stems back to this no choice setup.</span> The programming is all lies and a setup. The handler knew that the victim was being tortured and was part of its organizing. S/he knew s/he was not a “<span class="SpellE">saviour</span>” but was abusing this setup for his/her own devious control. Once seen as a setup and that the handler is a devious and murderous perpetrator, the survivor can break free.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Over time these programming setups are repeated in order to instill control and the cult’s ideology of murder. The cult abuses these no choice setups to obtain an obligated and even “grateful” victim. The cult also wants someone who believed s/he has “killed” and has done it “repeatedly”. The cult wants to produce a “killing machine” identity within the survivor and so repeats these no choice scenarios of killing so that the survivor is indoctrinated to kill. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Victims are horribly indoctrinated as the cults want a victim who is totally controlled. This is because ritual abuse cults are extremely criminal and secretive. The indoctrination therefore is very surreptitious and heavy. There are specific and preplanned steps in the process. With <span class="SpellE">transgenerational</span> (long term family) victims/survivors, this begins early and there is major concentration within the child's development. People indoctrinated from outside the family e.g. as wives, through kidnapping, as friends, etc, also experience heavy abuse in the early stages. With victims whom the cult knows will try and break away from the cult, the cult will make them <span class="SpellE">nonconscious</span> to the abuse. They will heavily enforce the trauma to cause a separated personality or a deep psychotic state. The separation and non consciousness means that the victim does not know what is happening and therefore cannot escape. The cult does not do this with a willing member. They do not have to make the perpetrator non conscious to the abuse as s/he does not want to escape and desires the killing and rapes. The father was conscious to the abuse at all times and is/was a perpetrator.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Indoctrination occurs within all aspects of cult life either in the home, other member's houses, the cult meeting places, the specific programming areas e.g. the back of a handler’s house, institutions (e.g. schools), etc. The perpetrators try to disguise the programming room as much as possible and keep them out of public view. Places of programming are locked rooms and basements, especially at farmhouses, school auditoriums, isolated buildings such as on islands or uninhabited roads, in mines, etc. There is in Brisbane in the eastern suburbs and on the Brisbane River a programming room that’s in a boatshed. <span class="GramE">Its</span> run by a handler and perpetrators bring in the drugged victims at night by boat which is parked underneath the shed. There is a hole in the floor and a ladder is suspended down so that victims are told to “clamber up” into the room. Throughout the night the victim is tortured by a female handler but <span class="SpellE">noone</span> can hear because of the soundproofing. The <span class="SpellE">neighbours</span> and passers by think it is just a “boatshed”, but it isn’t. The victim is also deceived because s/he was not taken there by the usual way e.g. car. I kept getting memory of a boat and a boatshed with understanding this programming/torture place and then <span class="SpellE">realised</span> what and where it is.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Broadly, there are two main processes. These are the general and the specific. The general is done by cult members particularly those in the family. E.g. a young boy can be raped in a cult ceremony by his father and also have his head dunked under water until he acquiesces. The revolting father did both to me. General indoctrination methods involve lies e.g. "mum will be killed', <span class="SpellE">deceipt</span>, threats e.g. "you will be tracked down if you escape", false promises e.g. "the cult will provide for you", false guilt e.g. "you owe the cult as it 'helped you'", etc. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The specific is done by trained indoctrinators called "trainers", "programmers" or “handlers”. The handlers have organized steps and styles that correspond to the age, gender, abilities and situation of the victim. E.g. a newly married and non cult background wife will be indoctrinated from the beginning and at her <span class="GramE">ages</span> abilities. A two year old boy will be programmed within his abilities as a two year old boy. Tasks and roles will also be attempted to be instilled. Specific methods such as abusing psychological dissociation and organizing multiple personalities are done in this form. The handler also produces identical programming to other victims/survivors of the same cult. For example, the Illuminati cult wants victims worldwide with the same programming so that we can be abused by any Illuminati perpetrator. The specific indoctrination especially involves preplanned sessions of torture, trickery and obligations. Each victim is controlled by a handler which will force the victim/survivor to contact her/him by non conscious accessing, and also will deploy. A survivor particularly needs to break the bonds with the handler. This is another easy to read explanation of programming <a href="http://ra-info.org/library/programming/com_prog.shtml">http://ra-info.org/library/programming/com_prog.shtml</a></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The programming system is not <span class="SpellE">adhoc</span>. It is a predetermined process and its system is <span class="SpellE">organised</span> deliberately by the cult. It had specific stages of indoctrination that are generally called core and secondary/ tertiary/etc layers. For children this can start in the womb and for kidnapped people it starts at the age they were kidnapped. The core stages have particularly very heavy and continual torture. The progression is one of destroying trust and of cult obedience. There is also specific training in cult roles at ceremonies and for abuse at the activities e.g. how to be a sexual slave, etc. At certain ages programming is put in for returning, not disclosing, for abuse in particular organizations, e.g. perverted Masonry, etc. The programming is also modified according to the specifics of the cult. For example, you/the survivor may have undone some programming and so the despicable cult then reprograms. They could also program new roles if the victim is abused within another cult e.g. a Nazi cult, and is suited to that cult. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Mind Control</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">This control of the person by torture, trickery and enforced obligation is basically called mind control. It is mind control as it comes mainly from the mind. This is where we think and from where we act on what is fed to us. It is essentially a conditioning process. We are conditioned by pain and deception to do something for the cult. The mind control can also be quite simple in its operation. A cue such as a date, <span class="SpellE">colour</span> or sensation (auditory, visual, tactile and other means) sets off a specific <span class="SpellE">behaviour</span> such as “return to the cult”, “don’t disclose”, etc. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">The Programming System</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> The cult/organization set up a system of programs within ones being. Firstly the cult produces a personality or part of a person who has a name, a specific cue and a corresponding <span class="SpellE">behaviour</span>. These parts are then assembled into a system. Firstly it has parts that do things singularly for the handler/cult. Parts are told to “report in” to “clean up after the ceremony”, etc. Secondly there are parts whose job it is to “keep the system in tact”. If programming has been undone there are parts whose job it is to “rebuild the programming”. It also has to act like a whole in the sense of being a machine. The parts must cooperate with each other to do what the cult wants and must also stop parts who are escaping. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">There are two main forms of programming systems. For ease, they have been categorized as reproducing either single or multiple personality systems. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Multiple Personality System</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">The "multiple personality" system has been mainly abused since the 1950s/60s. It is a very sophisticated form of brainwashing or mind control. The cult obtained it from the CIA where it was originally developed. The aim is to create a system of separated personalities. The handler and perpetrators will torture the victim until s/he dissociates and a separate personality is created. This is by the means described before. The perpetrators will drug, <span class="SpellE">hypnotise</span>, electrocute, <span class="GramE">abuse</span> other physical pain and the no choice setups of being forced to kill. These make the victim/survivor dissociate. Once the perpetrators see the division and creation of a dissociated personality the perpetrators will concentrate on deceiving him or her. The handler will force loyalty from him/her by lying that the perpetrator “saved” her/him from “the killing”. Being dissociated these personalities are unknown to the victim/survivor. This unidentified separation is also worsened as the personality is told lies by the handler that the victim/survivor “is horrible”. Therefore the victim is turned against oneself as a personality of her/him is lied to that the victim him/herself “is horrible”. The person is unaware or <span class="SpellE">amnestic</span>- suffering amnesia of all of the abuse. To escape, the victim needs to see that there is a personality of him/her and this personality is externally controlled. This can be by noticing time is lost when the personalities are out and the host person does not know what is going on. Only the controlled personalities are “awake” and doing things. The victim/survivor is effectively not conscious. Also it is important to trust memories of when the victim/survivor was abused, particularly recently, and <span class="GramE">cant</span> recall it consciously. These are memories of being <span class="GramE">non</span> consciously abused by an external handler/cult member controlling unknown dissociated personalities. The victim/survivor must also reclaim the personality who was being abused against him/her. The victim/survivor must regain the trust of the personality. This is by respecting where the personality has come from and talk with him/her to show that s/he has been abused by perpetrators.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">After repeated programming sessions the handler produces many personalities. These personalities are then organized into a system of roles, tasks, cues, etc and which is called ‘the programming’. The programming system is then abused by the cult. For example, a person may hear a telephone ring only twice at home, then dissociate into a specific non conscious personality and ring a specific number for directions about cult/organization activities. Personalities can also have specific <span class="SpellE">behaviours</span> related to “keeping the system intact” and can threaten parts who are escaping the cult and the handler.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">To understand dissociation better, these are very worthwhile <span class="SpellE">webpages</span> produced by reputable <span class="SpellE">organisations</span> educating the public about it. The first is by the <span class="SpellE">Sidran</span> Institute and is at <a href="http://sidran.org/sub.cfm?contentID=75&sectionid=4">http://sidran.org/sub.cfm?contentID=75&sectionid=4</a> <span class="GramE">The</span> second is by <span class="SpellE">Medscape</span> and is at <a href="http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/294508-overview">http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/294508-overview</a> Of particular importance to mind control survivors is the <span class="SpellE">Medscape</span> information on Dissociative Amnesia. The cults/<span class="SpellE">organisations</span> want the victim to be <span class="SpellE">amnestic</span> or completely unaware and suffering from a form of amnesia. In this way the victim cannot recall what they were abused for. The cults/<span class="SpellE">organisations</span> deliberately do this so that the victim does not know s/he is a victim.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is also sometimes questioned by skeptics, but as with the following article on PTSD, its now been proven to exist. Please see <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/09/30/us-twin-ptsd-idUSTRE68T47B20100930">http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/09/30/us-twin-ptsd-idUSTRE68T47B20100930</a></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Single Personality System</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The single personality system was mainly abused before the 1950s although people after this time have been abused in this form. The aim is to reproduce a psychosis where the person as a whole "spaces out" and loses consciousness so as to be abused in cult activities. There is again heavy violent physical and psychological conditioning. With singleton survivors there is a system that views from a single perspective. There are no multiple personalities.</span><br />

This page is concerned with recovery and its many aspects. Recovery is stopping any current victimization, and/or addressing the psychological and physical effects that the abuse has caused. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stopping Current Victimisation</b></span><br />
<br />
Many, if not most survivors are currently being abused. Simply by remembering the abuse defintely does not mean escape. Many survivors are under the impression that remembering means escaping the cult, but the cults have many devious ways of controlling a victim and do not wish to let him/her go. They spent a lot of money and programming into making the person a victim and don’t give up easily. Current abuse is by being accessed, reprogrammed and deployed. Accessing usually happens on a regular basis (e.g. weekly). It is the way the victim is contacted. This contact is how the handler and cult members continue the hold over the victim/survivor, and tells the victim/survivor where to go for reprogramming and deployment. It is the primary way the cult and handler control the victim/survivor. If the victim/survivor doesn’t contact then s/he can’t be controlled and directed. When being accessed the handler and cult will continue the lies that he or she has abused to have power over the victim/survivor. This could be “saving” the victim or people that s/he loves, etc. Reprogramming happens when the handler and the cult want to ensure they are maintaining the programming. The handler will again abuse electrocution, drugging, setups, lies, etc in order to have fresh and thorough control. It also means being deployed such as having to go to ritual abuse ceremonies and the organized crime activities of the perpetrators.<br />
<br />
It is extremely important for the victim/survivor to stop accessing. Accessing is any contact that the cult/handler has with the victim/survivor and is either conscious or non conscious. When not conscious dissociated personalities maybe ringing or going to physically see a handler/cult member. Even though it may seem that the victim/survivor is not contacting, it is in fact the opposite. The handler and cult have forced the victim to non consciously contact by using the programming. It goes back to the no choice setup where the victim/survivor “does what the handler says or he or she dies”. If there was no programming the victim/survivor wouldn’t contact. S/he is forced to. It maybe conscious such as when a handler/cult member harasses a victim/survivor in his/her home.<br />
<br />
Signs of non conscious accessing are missing time when a dissociated personality of the victim reports to the handler/cult without the victims knowledge. This could be non conscious ringing on a regular basis, or visiting (usually periodic) the handler/cult member at a public area such as a market or the handler’s place of programming. Accessing signs are feeling like a zombie when going to a particular part of the city/town/region, having needle marks and small bruises from when the handler and other perpetrators injected drugs, memory of being somewhere else that’s unusual, and using a telephone unusually like a public phone when you have a mobile phone and a landline. It can also be feeling like you’re waking up from a dream and yet you are walking in the city, meeting people you usually don’t meet, having to do something at a particular time that’s important and not accounted for, doing something on a periodic basis that has no real worth in it, the phone ringing in what seems a sequence e.g. three times and then stops, and a feeling that people are strangely coming to your house/flat for no particular reason, etc. These strange occurrences and others happen when the victim/survivor is dissociated and is not conscious of the accessing. It’s really important to take notice of any fear one may have about accessing. In most cases it usually means accessing. Accessing is the main way that the cult has control. As said if the victim/survivor doesn’t contact then s/he can’t be abused. She can’t be directed to go to a particular place for more programming, and can’t be told to go to a cult ceremony, etc.<br />
<br />
Stopping accessing means stopping any contact with the handler and cult. As it is non conscious the victim/survivor needs to find when the accessing is happening without her/him consciously knowing. It’s like looking at your back with a mirror. You need to know when something happened without being able to directly and consciously see it. There are many ways to know if you are being non consciously accessed. Firstly there is using your intuition. Does something not feel right about a specific time and/or place? For example, why do I have to go to this particular suburb for no known reason? Are there any obsessions such as wanting a mobile phone which may mean that you are being accessed by phone? It is also important to use objectivity. For example, when looking back on the month why is there this irrational reason to go to this particular park to ring on Sunday mornings? Always check if you are doing things on a regular basis but is not accounted for. Ask for feedback from friends, therapist and innocent family if there seems to be unusual things happening, particularly on a periodic basis. Check whether you are doing anything extra during the week. See if people not close to you but know your routines are saying anything unusual about you. For example are your workmates, neighbours or flatmates saying things that show that you are doing things unusually and you’re not aware of? For example, not having lunch at the workplace on Fridays anymore. Also friends, innocent family and your therapist can give feedback about ones psychological condition. E.g. that s/he seems like s/he just woke up when its lunchtime. In reality, the victim/survivor had actually been accessed and reprogrammed that morning. Have discussions with personalities who can see what is truly happening and can also truly tell when and what the accessing is. You can gently ask all personalities if there is any accessing and how it happened. Sometimes personalities are programmed to give untrue information which they think will help you overall. Ask the personalities to show when the accessing actually happens as in real time. Personalities when trusting you will give you the correct information if accessing is happening. You need to develop trust by showing that you respect them and will not harm them. You also may need to show that the perpetrators, especially the handler, are the ones who hurt the personality. Once they see this they will be closer with you. <br />
<br />
Intuition and ones gut feelings give a good understanding of what is happening in the non conscious person. There maybe inkling that accessing is happening every Sunday morning. This can be followed up by noticing that the victim/survivor goes on walks every Sunday morning with no real clear idea of why s/he is doing this. In fact the victim is being accessed by a public phone. The victim/survivor is told to use a public phone as there is no record of a phone call on the telephone bill. Another example of accessing is that you feel dread every Wednesday morning. You have put bricks against your bedroom door so that you won’t be kidnapped. Memories emerge to show that on Wednesday nights a handler will come to the house and drug and rape you in a separate room of the house. This happened to me. Stopping accessing is doing the opposite or different to what you are ordered to do. Do not go outside on a Sunday morning and not be at the house on a Wednesday evening. There will be pain from the programming. It is important to know that this pain is from programming. It does have a source and a reason and can be dealt with. Deprogramming accessing usually means undoing the specific programming related to accessing. When stopping accessing the programming “to contact” will come on very strongly. Stop the programming by either coping with the torture and pain or directly undo it by going to the memories of the programming itself. For deprogramming go to the <a href="http://survivingritualabuseaustralia.blogspot.com/2011/10/deprogramming.html">Deprogramming Page</a>. It is also important to know that many personalities are also tricked into lying to the victim/survivor that “accessing is happening at a particular time” but is not true. They think they are helping the victim/survivor when in fact they are being abused by the handler and cult to do their dirty work. The handler is trying to deflect the victim/survivor from the real time and to confuse him/her. Use your intuition and ask other trusted parts if you feel programmed parts are giving you false information.<br />
<br />
It is extremely important to stop accessing. Stopping accessing, reprogramming and deployment means that her/his recovery won’t be jeopardised by the handler’s debilitating efforts to attempt such. The survivor can keep on recovering and not go backwards. If being accessed and then reprogrammed the survivor goes forward a step in recovery and then back two steps because of the reprogramming. It becomes an uphill battle. So it’s best to stop all accessing. <br />
<br />
The survivor also needs to physically escape the perpetrators and so needs a safe place to stay. This is to stop any harassment including being at home. As with domestic violence and escaping a perpetrator, finding safety from cult accessing, intimidation and reprogramming may mean escaping to a new town/city/region. For people who are currently being victimized this is extremely important. However the victim needs to also be sure that it wasn’t a setup by the cult to simply move the victim to a new place and then be reabused. I was tricked this way when I thought I escaped from one city, Wollongong to another one, Brisbane. It was really from the frying pan into the fire. I was still being nonconsciously accessed, tortured, lied to and made to go to the ceremonies and other illegal activities of theirs. Survivors need to be sure that they aren’t being accessed and forced to go to ceremonies and other illegal activities of the cult at the new place.<br />
<br />
Escaping the cult is similar to escaping any criminal organisation. Survivors/victims are viewed by the cult as slaves who have lots of information and skills which the cult wants. The cults program the victim/survivor a lot and want to exploit him/her as much as possible The survivor/victim also knows the names of the perpetrators and places of the abuse. Safety can be found at a refuge, a house/flat with security, living with other people, living at a block of flats, living at a boarding house with lots of residents. It is important to be around other people as perpetrators will not try anything if there are witnesses. The last thing the cult wants is to be found out. If there are witnesses, the survivor can go to the police and say that the perpetrators in his/her family have been threatening them. The police will have to investigate. If a survivor is worried about telephone calls, an answering machine will screen calls. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stages of Recovery</b></span><br />
<br />
Recovery for any abuse is the process of freeing oneself from abuse and its effects (whether past, present or both). We escape from an abusive situation, cope with the abuse of the lies, violence, and enforcement to do wrong, and can work through the memories to be rid of them. We also seek out specific support to help us. Ritual abuse recovery follows the same steps.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Awareness</b><br />
<br />
The stages generally start with awareness of being abused. This is either currently, in the past, or both. Awareness comes from memories, trusting ones intuition, and/or finding information from newspapers, counselling books, survivors written stories, talking with other survivors and/or with counsellors, searching the internet, etc. It also means trusting feelings about there being something wrong. For example asking why are there scars on ones body? These scars were from the cult perpetrators cutting a victim/survivor at a ceremony.<br />
<br />
<b>Validation and Acceptance</b><br />
<br />
The second stage is validation and acceptance that the abuse exists. Ritual abuse survivors generally need to validate these memories and/or current situation as the cult attempts to stop memory of it, and society generally hasn’t accepted it. Once a survivor accepts that the memories existed/exists s/he can work on them properly. Validation can come from many areas. These are meeting another survivor, seeing on the media a story about deaths that occurred within a cult setting, doing an internet or library search on “Satanism” or “Nazism”, a therapist explaining what ritual abuse is, etc. As said because there is very little information about ritual abuse, the victim needs to seek a lot of validation. Friends, and sometimes even the counsellor may not know about ritual abuse and so therefore one must search for validation. Thankfully due to the internet and online book stores such as <a href="http://amazon.com/"> Amazon.com</a>, survivors can find information. Libraries even may have books on ritual abuse. My local library at Perth has Safe Passage to Healing by Chrystine Oksana which is excellent. Books can also be ordered from other libraries. <br />
<br />
This process of acceptance and validation can either be long or short and the important aspect is knowing yourself. It is important to trust inklings that abuse happened/is happening e.g. being worried that you are missing time and that this missing time is in fact ringing/contacting a handler. To see the situation from a different perspective e.g. if feeling that you are being abused in a particular town, go to another one for a day and see what it feels like.<br />
<br />
<b>Safety</b><br />
<br />
The next main consideration is having a safe place to live. It is very important for being safe in order to work on the memories and the programming. Firstly memories will come out more clearly when there isn’t cult abuse. If there is current cult abuse the memories can come out in a stressful way. The survivor is trying to keep ahead of the current cult abuse and the memories are a reaction to it rather than coming out more easily. As said with escaping current victimisation, the survivor also needs to physically escape the perpetrators. This usually means going to a new city, town and/or region and even country. This can mean stopping accessing by the previous handler, and being triggered by places that had horrible memories for them such as a specific church. With hopefully no accessing and other abuse in the new place, and no direct triggering and cueing there is the ability to recover well. The old handler cannot access and reprogram (do new programming), and there is nothing at the new town/city/region such as a specific mountain or cemetery that has bad memories. It is a new life free from the cult. It is also important that the new place has support for ritual abuse survivors such as counselling. Please see the<a href="http://survivingritualabuseaustralia.blogspot.com/2011/10/support.html"> Support for Victims/Survivors page</a> where support can be found. Survivors can still recover in the place they were abused at. When they stop accessing and further programming by the handler and the cult they can recover like all survivors. It is important that someone is with the survivor most, if not all, of the time, to make sure s/he doesn’t get non consciously accessed and isn’t non consciously going to cult activities. I knew a survivor who stayed in her hometown because of her children and was dealing with non conscious accessing and cult abuse. She had to be with her partner all the time to make sure she didn’t dissociate into a part and be non consciously controlled by the cult. <br />
<br />
Also make sure that the new place you/the survivor goes to is not another place of victimisation. This is not a place where the old handler and new handlers are still controlling you. Make sure you know where you are at all times and if there is anything you may do that is unusual. Ask parts if they are being accessed and abused and exactly where. Sometimes parts are stuck in the past or are programmed to say that they are being abused when they are not. This is to keep the survivor thinking that s/he hasn’t and can’t escape and pushes the survivor unfortunately back to the cult.<br />
<br />
Survivors when physically away from the cult can develop a sense of inner safety. Safety is a personal place in one self where the cult and its brainwashing and abusive memories cannot psychologically get to. The aim is to create a more solid safe place in ones self. This is the free, creative, untouched, joyous, childlike, adventurous and soulful nature of yourself/the survivor. From this base you/the survivor can start to work on the memories and the brainwashing. If you/the survivor don’t feel in touch with this unaffected personal place, take time out, go for a walk, do enjoyable and creative things, etc. Drawing and artwork can be very important for this. Think of what is important for you. How you are not like the cult. The cult can never control a person totally. Even by reading this you/the survivor are stepping outside of what the cult told you not to do.<br />
<br />
This is a good webpage that includes many, if not all the safety tips needed for being safe. It also includes more tips from other webpages.<a href="http://endritualabuse.org/activism/safety-tips-for-ritual-abuse-survivors/"> http://endritualabuse.org/activism/safety-tips-for-ritual-abuse-survivors/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Getting Support</b><br />
<br />
The next stage is usually about getting support. You/the survivor needs people around them who are aware of the abuse and know how to support you. It is very important as people can understand you and help when in a crisis. Support is by loving and innocent family, friends, counsellors, other ritual abuse survivors, and survivors from all forms of abuse not only ritual. For many survivors, family or family members maybe the perpetrators, and so there is a strong need to stop contact. For some survivors including myself, most of the family are non consciously abused and are lied to that you/the survivor “are hysterical, making things up, and even lying” and so it is important to step outside the contamination of them by the perpetrators. Please see the <a href="http://survivingritualabuseaustralia.blogspot.com/2011/10/support.html">page for Support For Victims</a> to find counselling.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Self Empowerment</b><br />
<br />
The fourth stage is when the survivor empowers him/herself so that she/he controls his/her life. This basically is about working on the indoctrination and the memories of the cult activities and how you/the survivor were forced into them. It is usually important to firstly work on programming about accessing and returning as this is what the cult will be demanding when the survivor begins to escape and heal. As said, working on the programming means that the survivor is less likely to be accessed and reprogrammed. It is very important to work on accessing programming so that all the work in counseling and survivorship isn’t undone by a current handler disrupting the counselling and recovery. It may also be important to work on return programming when a survivor maybe called back to cult ceremonies and activities. For Satanic Ritual Abuse survivors this is particularly strong between Easter and beginning of May as there are two close dates of Good Friday and May 1st. There are also other dates for SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse) and all RA (ritual abuse) survivors and these need to be looked out for. Please see a calendar of ritual abuse dates at<a href="http://survivorship.org/resources/dates.html."> http://survivorship.org/resources/dates.html.</a> A handler may also have specific weekly/fortnightly times of programming that have to be broken as well. A survivor needs to watch out for missing time which s/he cannot account for. S/he must watch if s/he is going somewhere for no reason such as looking for telephone booths in the next suburb in order to non consciously ring a handler, driving somewhere for no reason which is non consciously to a cult members house, etc. Also look out for needle marks on the body where the victim/survivor has been drugged.<br />
<br />
Stopping all programming is extremely important for self empowerment. The victim/survivor maybe doing it non consciously or non conscious personalities who are aware of the programming maybe working on it without telling the victim/survivor. If there is a lot of memory coming up it maybe concerned with undoing specific programming that personalities know is hurting the victim/survivor. Try and understand why a lot of memory is happening. It is usually about an accessing time or a callback for a ceremony. The handler and the cult will attempt to abuse the programming as much as possible for control. The victim/survivor can cope with the memories of the programming setups.<br />
<br />
During survivorship you/the survivor either responds to crisis periods or works on memories at a more even pace. Crises happen when breaking the programming deeply such as stopping callbacks, stopping accessing, telling people especially a counsellor, etc. There is a feeling of urgency as the programming is being seriously challenged and the memories of the programming traumatic setup surface. When there are no crisis periods, there is a better pace where you/the survivor can work more easily on the memories and programming.<br />
<br />
Programming consists of setups, torture and forced obligation. If undoing them it is important to look at the memory of when these happened and unravel them. Stop the processes of control such as the electrocution and get rid of the perpetrators. It then is important to get rid of the handler who was or currently is illegally deceiving, torturing and manipulating the victim with the memory of the programming setup. No one has a right to control another and particularly by false means, torture and non conscious ways. The handler is one of the perpetrators and not a saviour. He or she knew that the torture was going on and was part of its organizing. S/he didn’t save the survivor. He or she wanted the survivor to be firstly tortured in order to be pretend that s/he was a “saviour”. The staged obligation only meant control of the survivor for the cults wants and not for the survivor’s own wants. The handler is a manipulator who cornered the survivor and then forced the survivor to do things that only benefited them and most probably caused harm or near death to the survivor. One handler wanted me to go to an area in Indonesia where I could have been killed as a foreigner. She didn’t care about me at all. The handler wanted the survivor to go to a massacre of people (a ritual abuse ceremony) which the survivor would not want to do. S/he wanted the victim/survivor to do child pornography or drug production or other crimes. Undoing the setups and lies of “saving” and “obligations” means reclaiming oneself. A dissociated part usually holds the awful and deceitful memory of the programming. When it is shown that they were torturing and lying to him/her the part will let go of the control and come back to the survivor. S/he is not controlled by an external and abusive handler anymore. S/he is within the survivor and truly safe.

<br />
<br />
<b>Recovery is very rarely linear</b><br />
<br />
Recovery also is never usually linear and problems occur such as finding a counsellor who can work with ritual abuse survivors, surviving intimidation, physical problems caused by the abuse, as well as the usual problems of relationships, mothering, finding work, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Memory Work</b></span><br />
<br />
The survivor will also be dealing with memories of cult abuse. This is when the survivor was forced to go to ritual abuse ceremonies and had to partake in activities of the cult that were for the attainment of their wealth e.g. child pornography, gaining information about foreign people, sale of military and other armaments, drug production, etc. Memories of either programming or the activities come up when they can. Sometimes they surface when need be such as memories concerning accessing programming when a survivor is being forced to contact. Sometimes something will trigger off a memory such as seeing a church and the survivor will remember the awful things associated with it. A callback date will cue a survivor. Cueing is different to a trigger. Triggers are unintentional reminders whereas cues are deliberately set by the cult. Sometimes a memory occurs from seemingly out of nowhere. Memories can be remembered quickly such as two hours or sometimes over days. Dealing with memories takes perseverance. Sometimes they can be full-on and sometimes they can be flickering. Sometimes a survivor has to lie down because the pain is so severe. Sometimes the survivor can deal with it by doing physical exercise. It’s important to know that memories surface when they can. They can’t be pushed. Once a memory is remembered fully the pain also goes and the survivor doesn’t carry the pain around anymore.<br />
<br />
It is important to know what is going on particularly in the programming and seeing that it is a staged setup. The survivor can get angry at the handler and other perpetrators. In fact it is healthy to do so. Programming is staged and all the cult activities are intended to harm the survivor so its very good to be angry at the perpetrators. During call back such as for a ceremony or being accessed memories can come on fully. The survivor is wanting to remember the programming so as to stop the accessing or callback. This is not beneficial in the long run. It is adding a lot of pressure. What is best is to ask the part holding the memory what s/he needs but not go into the memory fully. Say that after the attempted accessing is over the survivor can help the part to undo the memory and this promise needs to be fulfilled. Also ask how the survivor can help the part in other ways. Reassure him/her that nothing horrible will happen as the survivor wont let anything horrible happen.<br />
<br />
It is best to take the memories as best as one can. To “rewind” the memory and remember the horrible pain in a way that is best. Remembering pain, torture, deception and betrayal are not easy but with time and courage they can be remembered, lived through and put aside. It is important to remember that it is really not happening now and that the memories are that. The memories maybe horrid but they are memories. They also come up when they can. For all memory work, particularly at the beginning, it is best to do it with support from a counsellor and/or another survivor as they understand how horrific memory work is. They understand how to approach memory work in terms of addressing it, putting it aside when need be, dealing with the most awful periods, etc. It can be done alone, however, all survivors I have talked to have seen it close to necessary to get support from a counsellor, other survivors, literature, the internet, workshops, support groups, etc. As confidence in memory work increases the survivor is able to do it by her/himself.<br />
<br />
Also, initially in recovery, there can be memory flooding (also called flashbacks) where you/the survivor is overwhelmed with so much memory. This can be because the survivor is panicking about being accessed or ceremony callbacks and therefore works on programming memories related to accessing and callbacks. Also it can be caused simply by acknowledging that the abuse existed and the memories will come flooding back. It is very important to stop memory flooding as it can overwhelm you/the survivor. It is very important to talk with parts about putting the memory aside for the moment and to ask them why it is necessary to look at the memory. The memory surfacing could mean that accessing is happening and the survivor wants to get rid of the programming memory concerning accessing. If this is the case it is important to address accessing, see how it is happening and stop the programming memory that allows accessing to happen. This is to put memories into some perspective and not be overrun by them. Memories do come up for a reason. They show that abuse happened/is happening, they show what type of programming is occurring e.g. accessing, they warn that a particular ritual abuse callback is happening, etc. They also release the survivor from the terror, deceipt and pain of the abuse generally, and from programming itself. However the memories need to be controlled, and not controlling.<br />
<br />
If having intense memory flooding please see the Support for Victims webpage and what to do during a crisis. Also a good webpage on memory flooding and flashbacks is <a href="http://www.traumahealed.com/articles/flashbacks-experiencing-distress-in-safety.html">http://www.traumahealed.com/articles/flashbacks-experiencing-distress-in-safety.html</a><br />
<br />
Memories can be both real and fabricated by the cult/organization/programmers. The best thing is to not listen to the cult/organization/programmers but to see and hear what is really happening. For example, the cults/organizations/handlers may lie that “your mum has been killed”, that “your brother is there” etc when in fact they were not. The handlers and the cult will abuse hallucinogenic drugs and hypnotism to deceive you. You could be lied to that there is "cult activity happening is this particular place" when it is actually happening elsewhere. There are real memories of cults/organizations killing people, raping children including possibly yourself, of abusing people for pornography and prostitution, of programming people abusing electricity, of killing animals, etc. Reality has a way of standing out and it is this trust of what is real that is important.<br />
<br />
Generally, how far one goes in bringing back and working on these memories depends on how much you/the survivor wants the truth and wants to be free from an abusive background. It is very important to stop accessing and callback programming so that you/the survivor are not controlled by the cult/handler. However, on does not have to remember everything. Too much memory work is not enjoying life which is the main aim of recovery. Many, if not most surivors work on memories that keep them stuck emotionally or tied to the cults/organisations, and memories that dont do this they dont work on. There are other more important and enjoyable things to do. One does need to have a life.<br />
<br />
There are many benefits of memory work. One is that you/the survivor can work on them in order to get an understanding of what the cult/organization did. You can try and piece your life together and get an understanding of it. Another is to overcome any programming threats by the cult/organization to stop you remembering them. Memory work enables you/the survivor to feel healthy so that you don’t have any past emotional or psychological "baggage". You can get some information that will help society and the police, media, legal institutions, etc get some specific and general information about ritual crime. What is important is that by doing memory work you/the survivor can have a functional and manageable life and with the emphasis on life. You/the survivor can work on as much memory that needs to be worked on in order to do things happily.<br />
<br />
It is also very important to understand that the survivor did not want to be part of the cult’s activities. The survivor did not organise them, did not want to go to them nor participate in them. The survivor was forced to under duress and/or weren’t conscious of being there. If s/he wanted to be there s/he would continue on today in cult activities willingly but s/he doesnt. The non consciousness was deliberate by the cult in order to get you there. If the survivor could choose not to be programmed and not go the survivor would not have. The survivor doesn’t hurt or maim during consciousness. The survivor was/is forced to and when not in control of her/himself.<br />
<br />
As recovery continues more memories will surface and survivorship is basically about working on memories. This time period of working on memories can be long or short depending upon the amount of abuse, its severity, whether perpetrators are still alive, and ones support. The good thing is that over time memory work becomes less and less and the survivor can concentrate on other things and enjoy life more.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Independent Life</b><br />
<br />
The last stage is breaking away from the support network and establishing an independent life that is not seriously affected by the abuse. When a person deprograms sufficiently so that they are not constantly affected by programming and abuse memories, they can start to leave "the nest" of survivorship and have an independent life. Signs that a person has deprogrammed are: not acting out greatly e.g. not seeing similar looking people today as being the same as the perpetrators, and not seriously falling into the same patterns of abuse e.g. sexual compulsion. It also means being in touch with owns emotions and being responsible for them; if adults, having a functional and normal life- studying, working, parenting, leisure, organized domestic life, friendships, sexual relationships, community pursuits, etc. Please note that during survivorship, the person maybe either already on his or her way to, or having some form of, an independent life. This may include part time study or work, being in a community organisation e.g. a church, doing the necessary aspects of life e.g. travelling, shopping, paying bills, etc, being recreational e.g. bushwalking, maintaining friendships with supporters, etc. Words that can describe having an independent life are Functional, empowered, manageable, effervescent, the land of the living. It means not being dependant upon a support group, counsellor, etc. Most long term survivors I know still keep in touch with other survivors in order to not feel alone. It is still difficult to talk with people generally about ritual abuse as it is not well understood. One can never be perfect. The effects of abuse particularly from ritual abuse can be long term and fundamental. Sometimes a survivor needs to check in occasionally with a counsellor or support group for expression and feedback. The important aspect is that the person now has a fully functional life, with the emphasis on life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Stages are not fixed</b><br />
<br />
These stages are also not fixed. E.g. a person can be in therapy for another reason e.g. depression and then get memory and follow the stages. S/he didn’t get awareness of ritual abuse and then go to therapy. They are the general pattern of what survivors go through.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Length of Recovery</b><br />
<br />
There is no standard time period for recovery, and also no established definition of what recovery is within a specific time period. There are many definitions for “recovery”. Two common understandings of recovery can be when the survivor is not in need of support and can work on memories independently or another is when the survivor has no current cult abuse and memories to work on and is therefore not affected by the cult or memories anymore. Recovery means different things to different people.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A First Definition of Recovery as Being Independent </b><br />
<br />
A survivor can work on memories and cult pressures by him/herself. This is after learning how to escape the cult and doing memory work unaided by a counsellor and other survivors. I know of one survivor who was able to be independent after four years of support. She can work on memories by herself and is safe within her own biological family of a partner and children. She doesn’t need a counsellor or other survivors. Many survivors even though independent and not in counselling like to be around other survivors so that they don’t feel alone. Talking about ritual abuse can be difficult as most of society hasn’t heard of it nor understand it. The survivor doesn’t need counselling, but does want to be understood and so a survivors group on email or face to face is important. S/he may also have continued friendships with other ritual abuse survivors or survivors from other forms of abuse such as rape. Most survivors I know are on long term email survivor groups so that they don’t feel lonely. Also if a painful memory does come up the survivor has other survivors around for support.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A Second Definition of No More Memories and Not Currently Affected by the Cult </b><br />
<br />
This is a good situation to be in but also some caution is needed with this. The cult does lie that “all the memories are gone” so that a survivor wont work on the memories anymore. At the same time s/he is being tortured and reprogrammed even though supposedly “there is no abuse or bad memories”. I had this happen to me when I was moved from Wollongong to Brisbane. A new programmer took over and lied that I “wasn’t being abused anymore and didn’t have to worry about the memories”. Also I think that the abuse can be so horrible that memories can happen for a long time and even ones whole life. Firstly the abuse is quiet severe and is about the near deaths of the survivor and horrible torture and rape. With some survivors the abuse can be a couple of years, whilst for others including myself it can be for fifty years. For some survivors it can be as an adult only, for some as a child only, and for other people including myself it can be both as an adult and as a child. The amount of abuse also depends on how much the cult or cults abused you. Some survivors were abused in one cult, whereas victims/survivors such as myself were abused in many. Also there can be abuse in related cult activities such as abuse by the CIA and organized pedophilia criminals. How much memory one has does vary from individual to individual, however it is important to recognize that the abuse is horrific. I like the approach taken by many survivors who believe that it is beneficial to be with other survivors, including email. There could quite definitely be many horrible memories still there and they could be doing memory work for a lifetime. Therefore being with other survivors means not being alone and having an opportunity to get support when doing memory work. However if there are no memories, not affected by memories and not currently abused by the cult/s, a survivor can see him/herself as recovered and not needing other people for support.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Specific Aspects of Recovery</b><br />
<br />
There are particular aspects of recovery for ritual abuse survivors. These are due to the specific aspects of the abuse. Survivors need validation as the cults are incredibly secretive, have different abuse and indoctrination, are unknown generally within society and misunderstood within the medical community. We need specific support in counselling as non conscious dissociation and multiplicity was abused, and the ritualising of megalomania particularly with murder, rape, etc needs to be understood.<br />
<br />
What is specific about ritual abuse is the cult’s ideology of ritualising megalomania by annual ceremonies of murder, rape and other heinous crimes. To the cult, “severe abuse is good” as it follows an anti societal and anti human ideology. The cult will abuse anyone in order to get their kicks of control, including that over life and death. As different to other organized crime and violent groups, the violence is preplanned to fall on particular dates that are about murder, rape and other degrading and inhuman acts. There is a continual view of desiring the deaths and rapes of innocent people. Perpetrators find ideologies that can fulfill this view such as Satanism, produce one from history such as the worship of Baal who enacted infanticide, or produce one of their own. Perversions of mainstream and beneficial religions such as Christianity is also common to ritual abuse perpetrators.<br />
<br />
A survivor needs to have a counsellor who can believe such horrid organisations and activities exist, can feel the pain that a survivor goes through, and support the survivor so that s/he doesn’t feel alienated. A ritual abuse survivor already feels alienation because s/he was abused in a very secretive group, has programming torture to not tell people about it and has memories of an extremely bizarre group with disgusting ideologies and practices. S/he also deals with a society who is mostly not aware of its existence and is treated as delusional in some areas of the medical community.<br />
<br />
Survivors also need counselors and support people who can understand that the cult ideology, structure and roles are about fulfilling an extremely twisted megalomania. It can be seen as a contest between the devil and god, but it’s really about power obsessed criminals getting their kicks. Like war, the cult seems a place of random bloodshed and severe abuse, but it existed/exists so that criminal megalomaniacs wanted/want to get their fix of power. Counsellors and support people need to see this criminality for what it is and help a survivor escape from a criminal organization that does not want its controlled people to escape, and remember and disclose about it. Ritual Abuse survivors have experienced torture and pain that is similar to survivors of Nazi concentration camps, Ku Klux Klan ceremonies and Mafia controlled operations. By understanding that ritual abuse has similarities to other forms of severe abuse is very helpful to the survivor. S/he will feel less alienated.<br />
<br />
These activities are also hidden from society and no clues are left to their existence. The cult will kill a person and cover it up by any way they can. They will murder a new born child from one of the girls/woman in the cult; kidnap, detain and kill someone from the street; kidnap and kill someone from a nursing home, etc. All of these and other ways are hidden by a cult doctor. S/he has gotten the university medical degree and other legal abilities to sign a death certificate at a home where the child was born but is labeled “dead at birth” or sign the death certificate at the nursing home. The secrecy concerning cult activities is instilled by the cult through lies, torture and false threats, and implanting suspicion that the 'outside world' "is corrupt". Since society generally hasn’t revealed the criminality the survivor feels alone. Rapes and murders are on the news every night but ritual abuse crimes of rape and murder within a cult setting are not. This means a continuous need for validation of what seems like hazy and extremely strange memories and/or current abuse. It also means maintaining safety from a very secretive mafia style organization.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Stopping Isolation and Normalizing Ourselves</b><br />
<br />
The major concern from the secrecy is that survivors sometimes feel very alone. We are/were abused by a very secretive group and the abuse is not generally known and accepted. We sometimes feel that the cult is exotic and extreme and not existing elsewhere in society. It can feel sometimes like we “are making it up”, but which in reality is just buying into the cult’s lies. The indoctrination intends to disrupt support from counsellors, friends, professionals, the media, other survivors, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if we are to look closely we are only at one end of a societal continuum where murderous and seemingly unfathomable violence exists daily. One just has to look at the new headlines to find incomprehensible murder daily. Children are starved to death, neighbours do kill each other over a simple thing such as a dog barking, people are murdered on beaches for no reason, etc. There are reasons for why people die and in horrible ways but they are not outlined. Ritual abuse cults ritualize murders of children and adults in order to get their kicks just as a murderer will senselessly murder someone on a beach.<br />
<br />
We specifically are also very similar to survivors from other destructive organizations. First of all there are known homicidal organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan. We are also like survivors from organized crime such as the mafia and its child and adult pornography, human trade activities, "snuff movies' or filmed actual murders, etc. We are also similar to ex members of bikie gangs who break away from the organized crime and inherent violence of them.<br />
<br />
It is very important to be with other survivors so that a survivor feels normal. The survivors can be in a counselling group, or an online email list, get together by themselves, etc. I have gotten a lot out of talking to and emailing other survivors. I don’t feel alone with my memories and pain.<br />
<br />
<b>Caution:</b> For support groups of survivors it is important to watch if there is any disruption. Some survivors are still being non consciously accessed and may be abused by the handlers to disrupt the group. This is without the survivor even knowing she is accessed and disruptive. There are real perpetrators who organise groups with the aim of sending the survivor back. The group maybe a general survivor group for anyone suffering abuse and the group coordinator will try and cue the ritual abuse survivors to try and get them to return to the cults. I know of one in Brisbane for survivors generally. I joined the group and the coordinator instantly tried to make a friendship that went outside normal group boundaries. I soon found that I wanted to go back to the cult as the words the coordinator used were cueing. The coordinator I found out was also the handler.<br />
<br />
Survivors also have to deal with the nonconscious aspects of ritual abuse that still affects our lives. Even if the abuse was decades ago a victim/survivor can still be recovering from a cult mindset. This cult view was done deliberately to exist only within the victim/survivors non conscious being. The victim was not allowed to know about it during ones awake and conscious lives. Unfortunately this non consciousness still exists within the survivor so the worldview doesn’t go. A victim/survivor can feel very different from society because they were abused in a non conscious state. To break this means to allow the non conscious to come to the conscious and work on the lies such as “rape is good” etc. Also we were abused in a very different way to the normal Western and Christian way of life. Satanic (and other cult) “worship” involves major sexual abuse, organized and gratuitous killing, nighttime lives, calendars that revolve around full moons, etc. It is deliberately opposed to the day to day general routine of the Western and Christian way of life. Social isolation from the general and normal world is a major issue with survivors. Even though ritual abuse is similar to other forms of exploitation and violence there are different “values”. Many survivors seek out help with Christianity and other beneficial religions. Positive approaches to life, and beneficial philosophies and social movements can also be of help. I have found that The Reevaluation Counselling social movement is very helpful as it sees people as being born good and are conditioned to do wrong. <br />

<b>Support Can Be Found</b><br />
<br />
Even though it may feel very lonely at times when in recovery, support can be found. Most sexual assault crisis lines are aware that ritual abuse exists. There are crisis numbers for sexual assault nationwide at http://www.aifs.gov.au/acssa/crisis.html. ASCA the national support organization for survivors of child abuse believes that ritual abuse exists. They have a nationwide number at 1300 657 380. There may not be someone there but will get back to you. Lifeline at 131114 answers calls all the time. They may not know about ritual abuse but will be very concerned about your safety.

<br />
<br />
<b>Stopping Cult Lies</b><br />
<br />
Victims/survivors are programmed, and usually non consciously, with many lies. The first one survivors usually deal with is that "nothing is/was happening to them" or that they “are/were not being abused”. The memory of a cult killing was “all made up”, etc. They are also lied to that "they don't have the ability to leave" in that they are not intelligent and brave. Other lies are that “he or she will die”, "they only belong in the cult", or we “will not be listened to”, etc. The victim maybe lied to that “the cult/perpetrators/handlers/etc are not cult”. That the person who mysteriously appears “to save him/her” in the programming sessions (in reality the handler) is “a lovely person”. Another lie is that the handler whom the victim/survivor has to ring once a week (really being accessed) is “very helpful, kind and loyal”. The handler is really only keeping tabs on the survivor/victim and is only deploying him/her where the handler wants the victim/survivor to go to. The handler only exploits you/the survivor.<br />
<br />
Victims usually do not have a conscious knowledge of the lies. They may have personalities who are deliberately split off. The lies of the programming stay within these personalities and so the deception is separated from the host person. A lot of work is needed to show that they are such. This can mean inner dialogueing by the host person with the personalities to show that there are lies and what they are. The survivor needs to show the personality that s/he has been lied to. It can also mean working on the torture and deception of the programming setup that produced the personality in the first place.<br />
<br />
The cults also abuses lies concerned with other people and abuses the victim/survivors altruism. They threaten that people including the counselor, family, friends or the survivor “will be killed”. The cult will not kill someone whom they are abusing as it is against their interests. The police will investigate a murder thoroughly and if the survivor has given information about the cult to a counsellor or any other support person the police will follow it up. The cult would also not kill someone close to them as it will be too revealing and gives the survivor credence in what they said would happen. The cult does not want the police, counselors, social workers, etc to have any evidence that ritual abuse exists. Everything they say about “someone being killed” is a lie and they know that. I have known over two hundred survivors who have left the cults and no one, including the survivor, has been killed. Also survivors may believe that “society does not recognize it or would not believe that it could exist”. These are past and present cult lies, and perceptions from when the survivor was a child. They are different to today. Society has changed and people do believe that ritual abuse exists.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Not Aware and Aware</b><br />
<br />
Survivors are usually programmed to be aware or not aware of the abuse. If they think the survivor wants to escape by knowing about the abuse, then they are programmed to be unaware or not conscious.</div><div class="Section1"><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Multiple and Singleton</b><br />
<br />
Survivors can also be "multiple" and have many personalities, or "singleton". Being multiple means that a survivor sees the world from many different personalities. They could see it from the viewpoint of an eleven year old boy or from a fifty one year old man depending on who is at the forefront of the person at the time. The view could change suddenly depending upon who is out and can deal with the current situation. Being a singleton means s/he is seeing the world from ones view and not changing.<br />
<br />
Having many personalities and which is called multiplicity is very common for people who were indoctrinated with the recent (mainly1950s onwards) programming that organized dissociated (split off) and multiple personalities. The person views life both from many personalities' angles and within a specific personality. The analogy of viewing by a kaleidoscope is beneficial. If viewing from one angle in a kaleidoscope the viewer sees a particular thing. If this changes and the angle is different the view will change. This is the same for multiplicity. When one personality steps in and takes over the view the person is seeing is from this angle. When another personality takes over there is a switch and the world is seen differently. When the cult and handler want the victim to do something they will force a dissociated and controlled personality to come out and take over the victim. This happens particularly during accessing and when called back to the ceremonies and activities. These parts that are dissociated and controlled by the cult and handler need to be understood and cared for. This stops them and the victim/survivor from being abused. This is the basis of recovery. To help dissociated and controlled parts be known and to care for them so that they and the victim/survivor are not abused.<br />
<br />
Multiplicity and the switching are not problematic. It only becomes so when there is confusion and disagreement between the personalities and which causes distress for the survivor. The survivor cant do things clearly. The survivor needs to understand that personalities are coming from fear, pain and deception and to care for them. Personalities will listen to being cared for and will start to stop acting on the torture and lies. Sometimes also the survivor has to take control and explain that s/he is being clear in order to do things clearly. This is not a criticism of the personality but a need to be clear so that the survivor is coping and doing things well.<br />
<br />
Personalities have the programmed lies and destructive attitudes and so the survivor needs to comfort and support the parts and still not buy into the lies and harmful thoughts of the handler and cult. The personalities need to be shown that they have been lied to and to think differently. To think of positive things. They also cant criticise other parts or the survivor as they base their views on the lying and devious handler.<br />
<br />
An important aspect of recovery here can be integration where the person wishes to view life from a whole or to remain multiple. There is nothing wrong with being multiple. Each personality has thoughts and the person can be like a collective with many opinions. This provides many points of view and can be good for discussion and getting a well considered view. However, like a collective, it takes time to come to a decision. If wanting to have a single viewpoint there needs to be the association of traumatized parts. Association is the opposite to dissociation and means working on the painful memories and discussion with parts about the lies that the handler and the cult did. This brings the personalities back to the person. Personalities who are conscious are usually already reclaimed by the survivor so there is usually no need to work on the painful memories fully. The personalities that are not conscious to the victim/survivor are the parts that need help. The decision whether to be multiple or singleton really is a preference based on whether one likes having many opinions or to view the world singularly. Most survivors I know are fine with being multiple.<br />
<br />
With people who have many separate personalities, some personalities may accept that it happens and others not. The aim is to support all the personalities. Personalities are lied to and tortured. Educate and challenge, and overall, support and love them. Ask them what they know about the abuse. Some parts whose job it is to make up false information will have to follow the handler/perpetrators. Their falsifying is based on lies told to the part by the handler/perpetrators and so it is important to talk with the part as to what are the lies told. Personality by personality will start to believe that s/he was abused. Personalities will also start talking among themselves that the perpetrators, particularly the handler, are liars, torturers and abusive. The handler really doesn’t care about them.<br />
<br />
Singleton survivors are those that were not programmed by a multiplicity approach. “Singletons” do not feel there are parts of themselves with distinct personalities, parts which hold distinct memories, or parts that speak through them. All of what is inside their head "feels" like themselves, and they view life as "one". They approach recovery as if they are one person and so will do memory work as one. There is no need to dialogue etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A Master Race Ideology</b><br />
<br />
Victims/survivors come from many quasi “ideologies/religions”. They can be abused by many cults and have parts that correspond to specific cults. The main cult is The Illuminati which “worships” Satan and is obsessed with “world domination”. They control the ritual abuse cults and are at the “top level” of the cult hierarchy. They also control the programming and program the victim for the specific cults. The ones we know in the west, and possibly the east, are The Illuminati (also world government and satan worshipping), perverted masonic, druidic, celtic, nazi, neo nazi, and perverted Christianity. There maybe many we do not know about and need to be educated on. The common aspect is of a megalomania or "master race" ideology. The Illuminati see themselves as the top cult/group who will supposedly "rule the world". Programming within the Illuminati is related to secretive government mind control programs. Mind controlled victims will supposedly become slaves to a supposed world elite of Illuminati controlled government, military and business.<br />
<br />
It is very important to address whether there is any conscious or non conscious attitudes about “world control”. Victims/survivors can become obsessed about groups and world domination. Obssessions are simply that. A continuous preoccupation about something that may or may not eventuate. All attempts at world domination from the Romans to the current attempt at global economic control by transnational companies do not eventuate. They cannot be sustained as they need continuous and forceful exploitation and which humanity by its own existence does not allow. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)</b><br />
<br />
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition where the survivor is psychologically upset for a lot of the time in their daily lives. S/he is reliving awful memory and not able to distance her/himself from these painful memories. Their lives are difficult and disorganized. They are in a lot of pain and find it difficult to do normal and everyday things such as going shopping, reading, etc. Anything may trigger someone with Complex PTSD and so there is a strong need to be focused and not triggered.<br />
<br />
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was first diagnosed among war veterans. They were suffering from wartime memories and finding it difficult to cope with everyday life. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder results when a person experiences a short-lived trauma e.g. car accidents and natural disasters. Complex PTSD, however, is the result of long-term trauma. These are chronic traumas that continue for months or even years at a time such as being imprisoned in a concentration camp. Being captive to a perpetrator or many perpetrators is also common to Complex PTSD survivors. Complex PTSD has the following symptoms: persistent sadness, suicidal thoughts, explosive anger, inhibited anger, forgetting traumatic events, reliving traumatic events, feeling detached from one's mental processes or body, helplessness, shame, guilt, stigma, a sense of being completely different from other human beings, being preoccupied with the relationship to the perpetrator, isolation, distrust, a repeated search for a rescuer, a loss of sustaining faith or a sense of hopelessness and despair. Ritual Abuse survivors suffer from these symptoms and need a lot of counselling to express their current fears and concerns, and work on memories of past trauma. The aim in counselling is to have a functioning life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)</b><br />
<br />
Dissociative Identity Disorder is another condition Ritual Abuse survivors have. It used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder as the condition means that two or more personalities exist inside the person. The personalities have distinct identities and act like a person in the sense of intelligence, emotions, behaviours, etc. A singleton views the world from one identity while a person with DID has two or more identities. Identities usually form from repeated long term abuse such as sexual and physical torture. The stress is known to come from severe physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse at a developmentally sensitive stage in childhood. Over time with repeated torture the child and adult develops a personality. As was written before, the cult deliberately abuses dissociation to produce a personality. This personality is deceived into thinking that s/he has to be cult obligated because a handler lied that s/he “saved the victim from something worse than death”. It’s all lies but the personality did not/does not know this. The handler/cult also wants a personality who is separated from the person in order to abuse him/her without the persons knowledge. A case of manipulating the dissociation process to suit the deviousness and abuse of the cult. The survivor has to not only know of a separate personality being abused, but must also explain things to him/her. Explanation and working on the memories means s/he reunites with the person and the cult does not have control anymore. The survivor must explain the lies and also help the part with the pain of the memory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Addictions</b><br />
<br />
Many survivors have addictions including alcohol, substances and sex. They were/are overly used because the survivor isn’t/wasn’t able to see the reality of the abuse. Once a person can stop being dependant upon addictive things, the memory of current, past or both abuse will come back and s/he can work on them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Opposite to being Mind Controlled – Aware, Conscious, Loyal to oneself only and Having a Free and Independent Life</b><br />
<br />
As victims we were made deliberately unaware of the abuse, deliberately dissociated so that we weren’t grounded and focused and also in a separated personality, had to be cult loyal first and only to them, and were not free but dependant upon them. They abused torture, false threats, lies, false promises, etc in order to control us.<br />
<br />
We need to do the opposite. To be aware of the past and possible current abuse. To accept our memories, even if they are horrible and painful. That they cannot control us by torture and pain. We need validation that the memories/torture were/are real. We need also to be conscious of the abuse and the memories. This is different to awareness. Bieng conscious means living in a state of consciouness all the time. The cult/organisation cannot cue us into a different mind set and/or a different personality who are controlled by them and not conscious to us. We need to know where we are at all times, and if we are being accessed, reprogrammed and/or manipulated to do their dirty work.<br />
<br />
We need to break the chains, binds and other ways that the cult/organisation has coerced and forced us to be cult loyal to them. These are working on the memories and breaking all the bonds they forced us into without our real consent. We were tortured and tricked into being cult loyal and we don’t have to accept them anymore. We only have to be loyal to our own growth and authority. We can truly have an independent and free life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Effects of Class, Gender, Sexuality, Race/Ethnicity, Ability and Age Situation and Conditioning</b><br />
<br />
The survivor’s class, gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, physical/intellectual ability and age affect the victim's/survivor's abilities to recover. It exists as both the situation e.g. working class people have less money and resources, and as conditioning e.g. middle class people are told they cant talk publically about abuse.<br />
<br />
<b>Class </b>People of all socio-economic classes are abused by ritual abuse cults. There are four main classes- capital- owning large scale companies/land, middle- professional and administrative labour and dependant small businesses, working-technical and physical labour, and poor- charity/welfare dependant. Capital and middle class people can generally pay for private therapy and therefore have choices. The conditioning however is to keep things very private and so need to speak out more. Poor and working class people generally cannot afford private therapy and are more dependant upon government funded and Medicare accepting therapists. They need to "shop" around more. They can also speak up more as they see injustice everywhere and generally speak out against it.<br />
<br />
<b>Gender </b>is male and female conditioning. The abuse happens to both genders in the same numbers and with the same violence. The difference lies in that girls/women have violence connected to menstruation and pregnancy. Both genders suffer parenting violence ie their children are killed. The cult also enlarges the general societal conditioning of making particularly working class boys/men violent and angry, and working class girls/women passive and easily manipulated. Both genders suffer shame, guilt, fear, excessive anger and are intimidated by the cult/organization. Feminism has been important. Girls/women can believe that "women can do anything". Boys/men need to be in touch with their emotions again and to accept that boys/men can be abused. We need to work through the memories and to organize and speak out publically that we too are raped and victimised. Men also need to work on the lies fed them that they are "naturally" violent and sex addicts. In the survivor movement there is a disproportionate number of male survivors in that there are roughly one male survivor to about ten women survivors. This reflects male conditioning that we cannot be victims/survivors. Boys/men need to see that we are victimized and can work on emotions in a healthy way to escape the cult and thrive.<br />
<br />
<b>Sexuality</b> There are three main sexualities- homosexuality-gay, lesbian, queer, etc; heterosexuality- straight, and bisexuality- bi, queer. Male homosexuals have been treated very badly by society and have been labelled as perverts fitting into a supposed cult image e.g. sex addicts, rapists and pedophiles. There is nothing about homosexuality that makes a gay male a sex abuser/child sex abuser. It is not genetic. Female homosexuals have also been cast wrongly as cult like- e.g. vampires. Again there is nothing about lesbianism that produces this. Male heterosexuals have been wrongly cast as uncontrollable sex addicts, and female heterosexuals have also been wrongly cast as promiscuous. There is nothing about heterosexuality that causes these. Bisexuals have been stereotyped as unfaithful and promiscuous. There is nothing genetic about bisexuals being “unfaithful”.<br />
<br />
<b>Race/Ethnicity </b>incorporates both cultural values, and economic/political power in how the specific nation's and international economies treat races e.g. Aboriginal people are treated as poor/working classes. Specific cultural values around class, gender, sexuality, etc can hinder or help people. For example, women from many Asian countries find it difficult to get counselling because they would be breaking family taboos. There needs to be a maintained universal human recognition and practice that everyone has a right to counselling. People from races treated unequally have a hard time finding counselling as only the government by health departments provide this and they may not be aware of ritual abuse. Most of ritual abuse counseling is by private practice and which costs.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Physical, Psychological and Intellectual Ability</b> is concerned with the actual ability to obtain counselling, People with a physical or intellectual disability can find it difficult to find counseling but there is support. People with a psychological disability or having a mental illness find it difficult to do a lot of things including finding a therapist. Ringing a therapist is difficult enough but when one has difficulties focusing then it become very problematic.<br />
<br />
<b>Age</b> is also seen in terms of abilities and use of experience, and the stigma attached to it. Many younger people feel that they do not have the power to escape and work on the abuse as society says that young people are “not powerful and cannot make decisions”. This is not true. Young people are very competent people. Middle aged people are told that they should not work on abuse as they are told by society they should be "upstanding being in their prime and forget about personal growth". This is also a lie. No one should have to put up with abuse and middle aged people need to have a wholesome personal life. Many older survivors feel that it is unimportant to work on abuse as they are told by society that they are "going to die". It needs to be remembered that older people are living and need to have a good life free from abuse and its effects like everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>We are Not Criminals</b><br />
<br />
Many survivors think that they will be arrested if they come out of the cult and go to an accepting professional/police seeking assistance. This is not the case. Professionals and the police correctly see a person as a victim who has escaped and is giving them valuable information. We are not seen as perpetrators. We were programmed by drugs, hypnosis, torture and deception and most survivors are not conscious when they were/are abused. We did not have a choice in what happened to us. The real perpetrators, the handler and the cult knew that we were/are innocent. Survivors are like people escaping a totalitarian regime for want of a better comparison. We were forced to be there and escaped when we could. This line of false thinking is also programming/brainwashing by the cult. In the seventeen years of survivorship, talking to police, including superintendents, and professionals, and going to royal commissions, etc, I have never been charged for what I was forced to do. Neither have at least two hundred other survivors that I have talked to.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>No Harm When Talking to Professionals</b><br />
<br />
By talking to a counsellor you are not putting anybody else at risk. A counsellor is someone where the information you tell him/her will stay only with that person. You do not need to worry that it will go to the police or another professional if you don’t want it to.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>No to Guilt</b><br />
<br />
One of the hardest things for a victim/survivor to work on is the supposed "guilt" from either being forced to do cult activities, from escaping and leaving family and friends or from living after seeing people killed. You/the survivor are not and will never be responsible for those cult atrocities. You/the survivor is also not responsible for family and friends still being abused by the cult. You/the survivor cannot save anyone. Only the victim/survivor can save her/himself. If you go near family and friends you put yourself in danger of being revictimised. If a handler is saying that he or she is “protecting” innocent family this is a lie. The cult does not stop abuse of a victim because a handler supposedly says not to. The cult exploits a victim as much as he or she can. The handler is lying if he or she says he or she is “protecting” someone. He or she would not say anything to stop a victim being exploited.<br />
<br />
The atrocities were organized by the cult. You/the survivor were forced into them by the cults and their programming. You/the survivor did not have a choice in being taken to cult activities and were forced to be there. If there was a supposed choice why is there indoctrination (programming) and why is it so painful to undo? Why does the cult abuse threats, lies and torture to try and force you/the survivor back? There is no free will or choice when someone is indoctrinated so painfully and with so many lies. If there was choice you/the survivor could just leave. There is no choice. The only choice the you/the survivor want is to be free to go wherever you/the survivor want and not be abused. You/the survivor have the right to be always conscious of where you/the survivor is.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ways of Stopping Intimidation</b><br />
<br />
These are ways in which some victims/survivors have stopped intimidation:<br />
<br />
<b>Stopping Contact with the Perpetrator</b><br />
Write to your immediate abuser in the cult (e.g. conscious involved family member or handler) and state that you do not wish to have contact. Stress that if she/he does contact then this is seen as intimidation and the matter will be passed on to lawyers. Lawyers can issue letters of demand that specify that you do not want contact or press for an apprehended violence order (called an avo) through a court. An avo specifically stops any written, telephone, internet or face to face contact and is supported by the police. Both are relatively easy to get. A letter of demand can be simply written by a lawyer and a court will grant avos when a person shows some form of intimidation. Lawyers know how to get an avo very quickly. The avo particularly is treated very seriously by the police. (Lawyers can be free or very cheap for people on a health care card. Just ring Legal Aid in each state.) You do not have to explain e.g. as a cult survivor, why you do not want contact. You/the survivor are simply wanting no contact. This is simply intimidation and must stop and goes for both men and women survivors. Some survivors have said that they are sexual assault survivors (so as to not to have to explain cult stuff) which gives the police some understanding and sympathy.<br />
<br />
If you wish to start with professional support, go to a safe, believing and respected professional e.g. lawyer, community worker, psychiatrist, priest, counsellor, etc. You can then simply tell the cult that you have done this without mentioning what the conversation was about. E.g. "I saw a psychiatrist this morning and this professional and I do not want wish for you to have any contact with me." You may add: "If you do contact it is seen as intimidation and will be passed onto legal services e.g. lawyers." You do not need to inform the cult of what has been said to the professional. You have not done anything illegal (defamation or slander) or made any charges (as yet possibly) which the police can be called in for by the cult. You have simply said that you have seen a professional person and wish no further contact. If there is intimidation you can then use the letters of demand or avos as mentioned before.<br />
<br />
In all these ways of issuing warnings and stopping harassment, there is a very serious challenge put against the cult. This is backed up by professional, court, lawyer and police support. The stopping of contact is known to a respected professional. You can control the amount of information that is said to all parties, however, the cult is not aware of how much information is going to the professional, the lawyers or the police and will feel themselves frightened. They particularly cannot afford to have their secrecy "blown", names mentioned and a legitimate police investigation. The survivor can therefore use cult secrecy to her/his advantage. The cult may try and abuse some influence with its more powerful members e.g. a cult lawyer, but you have the law on your side particularly with an avo. The lawyers you have talked to, the courts, the professionals and particularly the police will abide by this protection.<br />
<br />
<b>Having a Safe Address and Communication</b><br />
To not allow the cult information to where you/the survivor lives and works, etc. you/the survivor can have anonymous, fictitious or non publically accessed names, addresses and telephone numbers. Addresses can be only postal boxes with redirected addresses. The post office is very concerned about privacy and will try its hardest to ensure this. With institutional recording of addresses such as banks and social security, you/the survivor can give a post office box. When they ask for a home address with Centrelink you/the survivor can ask for privacy whereby only the manager of the office has access. Escaping a cult of any description is grounds in Australia. You/the survivor could also ask a community centre, religious counselling agency, therapist, etc if their addresses can be used. You/the survivor can also make up a name as when having the phone connected. Telstra does not require identification with over the phone instillation. If you/the survivor receives intimidating calls, Telstra can change the number, sometimes free of charge. You/the survivor can also have a mobile phone with only a post office box. You/the survivor can also use an answering machine to screen calls. With email addresses you/the survivor can obtain a free and anonymous email address at an internet email address provider where you do not need to either give a street/postal address or a correct one. Some providers are: www.mail.yahoo.com, www.gmail.com and www.hotmail.com<br />
<br />
<b>Stopping Indoctrination</b><br />
It is the brainwashing that the cult attempts to abuse the most with trying to get the survivor back. There will be lies that family or friends "have died" or "will die". These come from brainwashing setup sessions where you/the survivor had no choice. You/the survivor would prefer to not have anyone die, to have a perpetrator die instead, or to not have to put up with the brainwashing in the first place, etc. Real people also will not die. For example, I escaped nine months ago and my family are all living. No family, friends, counsellors, etc that I know have died also. It is a BIG LIE. Another lie is that there are "cult members in the new place and that you/they have to return to the old place". Make sure there are no cult members at the new place as they could have tricked you to go to a new town or city where there are cult members. See if there is any missing time and if you feel that new information has been added to the programming system. If not the cult is again lying that there are new cult members there and are lying because you are staying there and truly escaping.<br />
<br />
The cult also does setups where cult members go into the persons house and pretend that they are going to hurt them if they escape. These are done especially when we are children and so the adult has a long term and mainly subconscious or non conscious childhood memory of this. The best ways to work through these are: to remember that this is a drama that the cult abuses to frighten and plays particularly on a child's fears. We are adults now and can work through this memory and say it was false. We can be rational and see that we have not been intimidated in the year (for example) we have lived in the house. We can also use the law effectively. If a cult member does come into the house/flat, this is trespass and is taken very seriously by the police. If the survivor has also gone to a professional, lawyer, police, etc, the police will also have a firm suspect which will seriously challenge the cult.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Crisis Periods</b><br />
<br />
Every survivor goes through crisis periods. This is when you/the survivor may feel suicidal, desperate, with no hope, have no direction, am extremely stressed and have major physical and psychological problems, etc. This situation is either from the initial stages of recovery where everything seems new. It can also be the direct influence of programming with its lying despicable messages and/or from harassment. Also an event from general life such as a major disappointment that will indirectly trigger programming and/or a memory of the abuse.<br />
<br />
Signs of stress are: a disorganized life- e.g. housework not done for days, sleeping a lot, not going out, overly using addictions, not going to work for days, homelessness, etc; lacking hope and seeing no future; and having major (not the usual minor) relationship hassles with other survivors, partners, counsellors, friends and people generally; being overly suspicious of institutions, counsellors, friends and people generally.<br />
<br />
Crisis periods are generally short term. If they go for over a very long time, there is a definite need to see a counsellor more. The general ways in deprogramming and working through memories are instead put aside for this short term coping.<br />
<br />
These are from a ritual abuse survivor magazine from the 1990s in Australia called Beyond Survival.<br />
<br />
Breathe. Breathe deeply and wriggle your toes. Rub your arms and legs. Blink hard. Keep eye contact with something such as your pet.<br />
<br />
Make a list of your reasons NOT to kill yourself. Read it. Give a copy to your friends to read out to you when needed.<br />
<br />
Be safe and warm. Put a blanket around you and cuddle a teddy bear. Hold onto your pet.<br />
<br />
Make a list of things you can do to make you feel better: go out for dinner, have a bath, read a book, suck on a dummy, go for a walk. Whatever works or feels right for you.<br />
<br />
Write in a journal.<br />
<br />
Ring a friend.<br />
<br />
Tell yourself that you are worth being loved. You are good.<br />
<br />
Be proud of having survived. The fact that you are still alive after all the torture shows what an amazingly strong you are.<br />
<br />
Ring a crisis number and talk to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>When You/The Survivor Feel Lost</b><br />
<br />
Survivors have many times when they feel lost. There does not seem to be any emotional stability or any other form of strength present. The survivor could be completely lost in negative emotions, or is panicking because a new memory is surfacing, or is finding trust difficult, doesn’t have any social stability such as a daily routine, or is feeling called back to the cult, etc. The survivor feels directionless and there seems to be nothing to hold onto.<br />
<br />
The first stages of being a survivor is usually difficult. You/the survivor hasn’t worked on memories and are unsure about the process. Also a lot of memory may come flooding in because you/the survivor feels compelled to deprogram. Also possibly you/the survivor knows something is wrong but cant figure it out. Memories are wanting to surface and like a plant sprouting it is really difficult with the pushing stage. However you/the survivor also know it is important to release the memory as it means stopping programming and getting rid of the pain. You/the survivor may also not know how to dialogue with personalities and which is very important. In fact most of survivorship and recovery are new to the survivor. Your/the survivor's whole life can change. There is a period of adjustment and becoming accustomed to memory work, understanding programming, deprogramming, getting validation, stopping harassment, understanding the terminology, working with a counsellor, meeting other survivors, etc.<br />
<br />
Throughout the recovery process there are many periods of not knowing what is happening. They are crises because you feel that you cant cope. A new memory is emerging and you/the survivor cannot handle it. With acceptance and understanding of what is happening and guidance from friends, survivors, counsellors and information, you/the survivor can stop the crises.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Call Back Periods</b><br />
<br />
Call Back periods occur when the cult/organization is calling you back to either attend its violent and criminal ceremonies, to assume cult roles within your/the survivor's age and to work for the cult in its other illegal activities. You/the survivor feel the urge to ring, travel or make contact somehow and to change the usual work or recreation routines. These are for no apparent reason. What is happening is that personalities are responding to a date cue e.g. October thirty first (halloween) that says "you/the survivor must return". It could be said like “return home” or simply “home”. There maybe specific ages in your life which the cult/organization has told you that "you must return". The callbacks are to adopt a role in something that only typically benefits the cult/organisation. The ages may differ between the differing activities of the cults/organizations and determined by what it thinks it can get from you/the survivor in that particular age. E.g. a young person and prostitution, a middle aged person with cult knowledge. The ages sometimes are perversions of pagan numerology such as forty two and thirty six (multiples of six) etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Cult/Organization Calendars</b> The major call back periods for ceremonial abuse are within cult/organisation calendars of sadistic events. Within their anti societal ideologies, most dates are perversions of either ancient e.g. pagan (who were and are not today criminal) or modern e.g. Christian religions. If it is a cult that worships a sociopath in history such as Hitler there will be callbacks related to the sociopath’s life e.g. birthday. The dates also are given specific torture related notions e.g. rape of a boy at Winter Solstice. The cults/organizations have also been challenged well and many of them are now aware that the public know of the traditional dates. They have now moved many dates to public holidays as an attempted camouflage e.g. an "Australia Day party" acting as a murder ceremony. They may also utilise a close public holiday as the supposed date e.g. May Day in Queensland (1st May ) as Beltane.<br />
<br />
There is a fair amount of variation among the groups. Each group emphasises particular dates according to its own sordidness. Some dates maybe mixed such as Summer Solstice and Christmas. Some dates are not used. Easter, May Ist and Halloween are generally the most stressful in Australia for satanic survivors. Some dates particularly halloween and beltane may go for a number of days. There could also be a variation with a cult dictator's birthday, an anniversary of particular sordidness, a particular year with numerical significance 8th August (8th Month) 2008, corrupting religions such as Jewish holidays, use of full moons, birthdays, Mothers Day, etc. Some groups and leaders may have become obsessed by satanism, nazism, etc and read about other dates within the books written about the ideologies. Generally, incorporation depends upon the leaders' sordidness.<br />
<br />
The calendar therefore maybe as follows. The cult may not do criminality on each of these days, but they will adhere to ones they think is important.<br />

The well respected <a href="http://www.survivorship.org/resources/dates.html">webpage Survivorship has calendars of difficult dates</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>External Stressors</b><br />
<br />
Survivors, as people, experience external stressors such as work, exams, study, travelling, sightseeing, parenting, relationships, etc. These can worsen the existing survivorship pressure and anxiety particularly when there is a call back period, harassment, disclosure, etc.<br />
<br />
Some situations have indirect effects of programming and memories. They will remind the survivor of the cult. For example an exam with its enclosed and controlled nature and the numbers and question order will restimulate programming. Again, there needs to be a perspective that this is an exam and not a cult programming area and that the numbers are for questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Breaking the Cycle/Untangling the Web of Ritual Abuse</b><br />
<br />
When escaping the cult and having a free and independent life we are not only doing it for ourselves, but also for the next generation. We are not allowing our children to be abused and this means that the cult/orgnisation will be less in numbers and in power. If we don’t have children we are also lessening the numbers of the cult/organisation and therefore are untangling the web and being one less thread in their devious activities and organisation. The cult/organisation will disintegrate which is a very good thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Survivors Speaking Out</b><br />
<br />
To conclude this page I thought I would refer to a video of a survivor speaking out. She has broken away from the cults/organizations and is recovered well enough to live a normal day to day life. She is what people in recovery call a thriver. <a href="http://endritualabuse.org/healing/dvd-healing-from-ritual-abuse-and-mind-control-survivor-trish-fotheringham-speaks-out/">http://endritualabuse.org/healing/dvd-healing-from-ritual-abuse-and-mind-control-survivor-trish-fotheringham-speaks-out/</a><br />

It is used to describe the indoctrination method, the specifically cued behaviours, and the overall system. For example We/survivors are "programmed" (indoctrinated). We also have a "program” (cued behaviour) to return to the cult. These cued behaviours are also within the programming (the overall system). The term relates to both the singleton and multiplicity systems. It is done completely by the cult/organization and its conscious/aware members (eg a cult father) and is what intended to keep you/the survivor/victim in an abusive relationship to the cult/organization. The cult and handler abuse the programming system to keep us under control. This control is done by deeply imbedded torture, lies and fear. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming is when the survivor doesn’t allow the programmed cued behaviours or system to work. The survivor does not respond to programmed demands.There are two main aspects to deprogramming. The survivor either is coping with it and not allowing it to happen, or is undoing it so that it can’t happen again. Coping is when managing the programming so that the survivor doesn’t do as the cult and handler demand. The survivor copes with the pain and lies and is not drawn into doing what the cult and handler want. For example, not being accessed. Undoing is when the survivor deals specifically with the programming and goes into the memory of programming torture and lies and stops it at its source. Coping does not mean stopping the programming at its source and it can occur again. It means managing it so that the cult and handler do not control the victim for the time being. Undoing means stopping it altogether so that it will not affect the survivor again. We cope or undo depending on how much energy and time we have. During a callback we are more stressed and more inclined to cope. During easier times between callbacks there is more time and energy to work on the torture and lies of the programming and therefore stop it at its source.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming is natural, and victims/survivors continue doing it until the programming does not have any power. We are naturally getting rid of programming as it is lies and torture and our psyches do not want horrible things. We will try and get rid of control and unpleasantness within us. We were born good and so we will naturally get rid of anything horrible in ourselves. Even before knowing s/he is a survivor/victim, getting rid of programming can sometimes be subconscious to the survivor/victim and all s/he knows is that s/he is in a lot of pain. S/he can be laying awake at night not knowing that the blackness s/he feels is actually memory of programming or the cult’s activities. Even as a survivor/victim s/he maybe be depressed and under the cult delusion that “nothing is wrong”. In fact s/he is still being accessed and deployed but is tricked at a very deep level that s/he “is safe and not being abused”. This happened to me for about six years and then realized that I was still being abused.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The cult/organisation has to continually reprogram in order to ensure that the programming remains. If we were to completely stop contact with the cult and handler the programming will run out by itself. As a conscious survivor we can be more aware of the programming and if we are also being currently reprogrammed. Being aware of programming we can understand it more clearly and stop it more effectively.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Two Forms – Coping and Undoing</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">As said, there are two main aspects to deprogramming and that is coping with it and undoing it. Coping is dealing with the pain and lies so that the survivor/victim is not affected by the programming. The programming may resurface later but for the moment it is put aside and not directing the persons life. Undoing is going back to when the programming was put in and stopping the handler and the cult from control. It is stopping the programming at its source so that the survivor won’t suffer from it again.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Choosing to cope or undo the programming usually depends on the degree of the programming, the survivors normal day to day life, her/his responsibilities, awareness of how much s/he is being abused, and how much support s/he has. It basically boils down to how much energy and time s/he has. When there is time, energy and/or support for undoing programming the survivor will undo it. When there is only energy and time for coping with programming, then s/he copes. Also a survivor in the initial stages of recovery also knows less about the programming. When understanding what it is s/he can stop it better. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Coping with the programming</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Coping usually happens when there is a lot of stress such as with callbacks and disclosure. For example, the programming behaviour to self harm comes on horribly as the cue of disclosure is set off. There is usually too much pain to go into the memory and stop it at its source. Its best to cope especially in stopping memory flooding. Coping is basically taking your mind off the programming behaviours. To put the harmful thoughts aside and concentrate on something else. If one take her/his mind from the programming and does something else s/he has stopped the programming from having effects. Even concentrating on cooking dinner will take your mind from programming. Coping is putting it at bay or aside.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">If it is too overwhelming do not be tempted to go back to the violence and torture of the programming setup. See it as a memory and back in 1962, 1975, 1983, 1998, 2001, etc. It is a different year now. Be in your current age and know what day, month and year it is. This is especially very important for young parts who are very scared. Being in your current age person is especially important for younger parts as they know then that an adult survivor is in control.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Again these are ways of coping from a ritual abuse survivor magazine from the 1990s in Australia called Beyond Survival.</span><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US">Breathe. Breathe deeply and wriggle your toes. Rub your arms and legs. Blink hard. Keep eye contact with something such as your pet.</span></b><br />

<b><span lang="EN-US">Ring a crisis number and talk to them. </span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Undoing the Programming</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Undoing means going back to where the programs were put into place and stopping the violence and lies so that you/the survivor will never be affected again. This means doing a kind of "rewind of a video" in your memory and controlling how you will get rid of the violence and the real perpetrators and free yourself from the lies and binds (sometimes double or more binds). Use whatever techniques you/the survivor want in this. This was violence that you had no control over then. Now you/the survivor can and do whatever you/the survivor wants. Its best to undo programming when there are periods of less stress such as between callbacks, but if the survivor needs to undo programming to stop the cult such as stopping accessing and has the time and energy then this can be done. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming is basically going back to where the lies were put in with extremely violent torture. This generally means bringing yourself back to a more grounded way of being. In psychological/ medical terms it is "associating the experience". You/the survivor was forced to dissociate or float off and space out in order to cope with the despicable horror of what the cult/organization did to you. With a lot of dissociation comes the formation of a separate personality part. (Please see the following multiplicity and personality parts). Some common methods are child rapes, spinning machinery, electrocution, deprivation of food, hanging upside down, moving the person towards a revolving saw, putting a knife in your throat, suspending them in air by a cage or a harness, etc. They also all involve drugs and hypnosis. The cult/organization then further abuses this dissociation and personality part development by tricking the part into a lie that they "owe the cult/organization". A handler lies that s/he was not aware of the torture and pretends that s/he is “saving” the survivor. The victim is caught between a horrible life/death scenario or be “saved” by this devious and deceitful handler.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">When rewinding the video it is important to remember all the aspects of the programming. Where you were put, what images they were abusing, where are the perpetrators and how the handler is also one of the perpetrators. You could be put in front of a tv screen, or in a staged play in an auditorium, have your head dunked at a river, be suspended in a cage, etc. The perpetrators will play out a scenario that set ups a life/death situation. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">These usually involve friends and family and are called the “loved ones”. They could be there in person or fabricated as such. If there in person the friends and family can be programmed so that aren’t aware of where they are and are innocent. If they know that they are there they are perpetrators. In my programming my mum, brother, sister in law and nephew were all non consciously programmed and didn’t know they were being put into this scenario. The father knew and is a perpetrator. The friends and family can also be fabricated by being on screen images or perpetrators acting them in a staged play. The friends and family are not there at all and the cult uses fabricated versions.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">The scenario is a setup where you have no choice but to harm/kill. The only other “option’ and which isn’t an option is that you will die. You have the right to save yourself as it is self defence. This is morally and legally fine. If someone is “killed” then it is because you have the moral and legal right to do so. You have the right to protect yourself. You also have the right to stop the programming scenario. You can take away the cords to the television and turn off the screen, you can bring yourself down from the suspended cage and you can stop yourself being drowned. Use your imagination in stopping these. Eg you can call in a tractor to lower the cage, call in the police or someone who is protective to stop the drowning, etc. When the handler lies that “s/he saved you” you can be angry at her and call her a liar. He or she is just another of the perpetrators who knew and organized the setup in the first place. He or she is a not a “saviour”. You can tell him/her angrily to get away and say no to his/her lies. It’s all a setup and you have every right to stop this horrible memory. You did not want to be at the programming setup and it was all a setup in any case. Be angry at the perpetrators.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Be rightously angry until all the control has gone. You may feel like a floppy puppet who has cut the strings of control and this is a good thing.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"> </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">There are as many versions of this setup as there are situations which the perpetrators wanted to abuse you by. They could abuse specific family and friendship relationships eg a relationship with your nephew. They could abuse any physically and psychologically painful situation that their devious and murderous minds can imagine. The extremely important thing to see is that it is always a setup. An attempt to cause pain, particularly suicidal guilt in a seeming no win situation, and then exploit this pain to act as “saviours”. The perpetrators, especially the handler are not saviours. He or she is a devious and extremely harmful perpetrator. You did not want to be at the programming sessions and have the right to say no to all the setups. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Early Stages of Deprogramming</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US"> </span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming, especially coping, is needed a lot in the initial stages of recovery. The survivor is hit with heavy programming about remembering, escape, disclosure, not being accessed and reprogrammed, and not being called back to the ceremonies and other activities. The survivor feels like s/he is in constant pain, finds it difficult to do normal things, suffers from insomnia, etc. Also most survivors are usually being accessed and deployed when first in recovery. Survivors/victims are accessed on a periodic basis, reprogrammed on a periodic basis, and deployed in the cults’ activities and ceremonies. The programming system will sit there with all of its names, cues and commands just as it did from when the survivor/victim was first programmed. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">It is best to cope with the pain as much as possible. The survivor can use anything that s/he will be of benefit to her/him. This includes ringing telephone counselling lines, having a relaxing bath, anger work such as throwing things at a picture of the perpetrators, writing, going for a walk, etc. It is important to remember that the programming is not the fault of the victim/survivor. S/he did not want it and so s/he should not blame him/herself for it. S/he can do whatever she thinks will stop the pain and get as much true support there is. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Stabilised Periods of Deprogramming</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Over time with recovery the survivor will have stabilised periods of recovery. These are mainly between callback periods such as Beltane (May 1<sup>st</sup>) and Halloween (October 31<sup>st</sup>) for Satanic Ritual Abuse survivors. Also with time the survivor begins to understand the programming more clearly. For example s/he understands why the accessing programming is there and works on it to stop the accessing. S/he has also dealt with the pain and knows how to battle them. The programming setups also emerge from memory, and the survivor can see and understand what they are and why they were abused. S/he can work on them and stop the setups and lies.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">When not being accessed and reprogrammed the survivor can also work more freely on stopping the system from being abused. When being accessed it can be very difficult for the survivor/victim as s/he feels like s/he is running against the clock. The accessing program (and the following reprogramming) is forcing him/her to return and she is battling this program. It is important to address the accessing program especially and either cope with it, or even better, to undo it. When not being accessed, reprogrammed and having no callbacks for cult ceremonies and activities, there are long periods when the survivor/victim can address programming and also undo it. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">After some time of adjustment to dealing with the programming, the survivor works out ways of deprogramming that are second nature. Once adjusted to memory work, coping, etc, the survivor isn’t so frantic and can approach deprogramming in a more stable way. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">S/he will start to see the setups and be able to undo them. They will collapse like buildings and not be able to stand. The survivor will also feel that the ropes, that controlled like a puppeteer’s, will be cut and stopped.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Normalising Programming</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Programming and deprogramming can be understood. Programming is never acceptable, but is similar to all indoctrination. Everyone is indoctrinated into something whether it be conditioning about class, gender, etc. These are also based on violence and lies. Working class men are conditioned to be aggressive by violent sports and lies that they are “powerful”. Working class women are conditioned by violence that they be “submissive”. Ritual abuse programming is also a form of indoctrination and conditioning. It is on a societal continuum of indoctrination. As the criminality is extreme so is the indoctrination process. The cult want victims that are totally controllable and completely do not know of the abuse. Victims are indoctrinated with horrific torture and lies, and forced to dissociate so that we do not know of the abuse. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">As with any conditioning, programming also runs out after a while if not reprogrammed. Personalities will see that the handler and the cult are all liars and torturers, and will not act out the behaviours. They will come over to the survivors side when they understand this. They will stop any falsely derived loyalty. The intensity of the violence and lies also lessens over time. The cult will try and stop this natural process by reprogramming, and this is why the survivor/victim especially needs to stop accessing. There can also be programs that are built in and which continue the programming within the person ie with no outside accessing, and this too needs to be addressed. Personalities are lied to that the victim/survivor is him/herself ‘the enemy’ and have to ‘rebuild the programming’ in order to ‘help’ the handler ‘maintain beneficial control’. The personalities have to see where there has been deprogramming and “patch it up so its brand new”. Also when being accessed the handler can threaten parts to “rebuild the system”. If they don’t do their job the handler will punish them. This is another reason to stop accessing.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">As said deprogramming is natural. Ones psyche doesn’t like lies and horribleness being in ourselves and will do everything to discharge it. The cult programming is one of the most evil things a criminal organization can do and so the mind and body will get rid of it naturally. As it is a particular type of horribleness, we need to address how it was placed there and address the specific concerns. These being the style abused such as a spinning machine, the enormity of the lies ie that “you killed someone”, “I (the handler) saved you” and “you must obey me and the organization at all costs”.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Its also important to look at the important areas of the programming and do the opposite. The perpetrators, including the knowing and organising handler, force the victim to <u>dissociate into a personality </u>by various means eg drugging, electrocution, etc. It is therefore important to <u>associate </u>or ground oneself so that the dissociated part isn’t under their control by the means of dissociation. One needs to remove in ones memory anything that causes dissociation. It is then important to <u>stop the lies</u>. These are that “you wanted to kill someone”, that “you are evil”, that you are “one of them”, etc. The reality is that you didn’t want to kill but were forced to in order to save yourself. Saving youself in self defence against someone murdering you or has been told is murdering you is morally and legally correct. You/the survivor needs to see the truth. This will also help with associating or bringing back the cult controlled part back to you where s/he rightfully belongs. The lies that “you owe the cult” or “we saved you” are shown again to be lies and you have <u>control of yourself</u>. You originally had this and you are simply getting rid of the torture and lies, especially the loyalty, and <u>being yourself again</u>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Variations</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Each of us copes and undoes programming his/her own way. People have individual interests and strengths. Some people enjoy looking at psychology and how the mind works and go into the intricacies of brainwashing. Some people use the media and public education to get rid of their anger against the cult and its programming. Other survivors see themselves as a community of personalities. There is no one or right way to deprogram.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">For example this webpage is from a survivor who makes online collages to remember what the programming is more clearly and then undo it. We are forced not to use the usual ways of remembering and noting what happened such as writing with our normal hand. But there are other ways we can use such as singing songs that remind us of the programming information and writing with our non dominant hand. In this webpage Grace makes collages online to indirectly, but still successfully, remind her of the programmers, the style of programming, what its intentions are, etc. It is very ingenious. <a href="http://graceartjourney.blogspot.com/">http://graceartjourney.blogspot.com/</a></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">A personality thinking that only the rest of the personalities will die</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">A survivor needs to consider an important aspect of programming and which can be very beneficial to know. A personality who is following orders from the handler and thinks that the survivor should be dead also believes that s/he “will be saved when the person dies”. S/he is lied to by the handler that he/she/it "will live" after he/she kills off the victim. This is not the truth. When a person dies, god forbid, the whole person really dies which includes all of the personalities including the personality who “will be saved”. The personality needs to see that when s/he has seen dead bodies in the past the whole body dies and this is the same for the personality. The personality will die exactly the same as the other personalities. There is only one heart for the whole body. Each personality does not have an individual heart and mind. When seeing this the personality usually comes over to the survivors side and does not commit suicide.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Disruption between personalities</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Multiple victims/survivors have programming which deliberately abuses multiple personalities in the survivor. By being multiple, the cult/organization thought it could have more parts "to play with" and attempt internal disruption. There are deliberate conflicts made between personalities. They can be based simply on what colour they are coded eg blue personalities versus red. Or the handlers can make one personality stop other personalities from seeing the truth. Deprogramming sometimes can be difficult when there is internal disruption. The survivor needs to allow the personality to say what the truth is and at the same time stopping a belligerent personality from causing conflict against another personality and the victim her/himself. Sometimes deprogramming means both addressing a personality and at the same time seeing the whole system. One part may have been lied to and which is contaminating the whole system. The survivor needs to explain to the part lied to that there is a lie and reassure everyone else that the survivor and the personality won’t accept the lie. It means looking after everyone. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When the perpetrator is a woman</b><br />
<br />
The cults/organisations have female perpetrators. They are conscious and deliberate perpetrators which will torture, program, revel in the ceremonies and be leaders of the cults/organizations. Two of the cults I was abused by were led by women and they were despicable, evil infested perpetrators. Most of the handlers who tortured and programmed me were women. I have a feeling women perpetrators abused the status of women to further inflict pain and mind control. We supposedly aren’t allowed to hit women, react against them and only feel sorry for them, but these perpetrators deserve the same resistance and stopping as any perpetrator. Fight back and kill off the woman perpetrator in the memory just like any perpetrator.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Basic Considerations of Deprogramming</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">There are very important basic considerations in deprogramming. It is beneficial to have these either before you start and/or during the process.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">An unaffected personal space in your/the survivor's mind</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. You/the survivor needs to be in a personal space that is relatively free from the cult/organization's affects. To see the world from a relatively unaffected view or stance. This is important for a reference point. In times of stress or even generally, you/the survivor have somewhere to come back to that is your own. It is also important for rationality ie a viewpoint which questions whether something makes sense and is rational. It also has some sense of objectivity. The programming can be seen from an unaffected view. Also from here you/the survivor can observe and work on the programming. If you/the survivor are ever in trouble with deprogramming such as going around in circles, going nowhere or there is a "snag", you can come back to this unaffected space. The most important thing is that you can separate yourself from the cult/organization. You will be able to relate outside a cult/organization context and mind set. You can relate to other survivors, friends, therapist, and the world generally, etc. It can also be your end point as when you/the survivor unravel the programming there should only be this unaffected place. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">We all have the ability to get this free space. The human spirit is indestructable. For example, people who have been in concentration camps for many years have come out with their lives and thinking intact. If in doubt that you have this free space, do the following exercises. A good exercise is to do something of your own free will which the cult has stopped you from before. This could be surfing the net on ritual abuse, talking to your counsellor about ritual abuse, staying inside on a day being accessed so that you don’t ring from a public phone, etc. Other ways of finding this inner peaceful place in your/the survivor's soul and mind are: a bath, going for a walk, meditation, painting, holding onto something from a teddy bear to a coin, etc. Do things in your/the survivor's current age and time eg school, work, hobbies, etc. From this beginning, you/the survivor can then strengthen this safe space simply by doing more of it and being creative. By simply reading this you are breaking cult rules to “not know about ritual abuse”. Usually</span> being in ones current age ie 24 years old, 53 years old, etc is a good place to start obtaining ones own personal space as you are not in the programming of a younger age. <br />
<span lang="EN-US"></span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Seeing the Whole Picture.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US"> </span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">An important phrase with multiple survivors is “When I see that I am multiple, then I am one”. In other words you/the survivor have gone further than being in one personality and seeing from his/her angle. The survivor can see the whole lot of the personalities and therefore see the whole person. It is very important to see yourself/the survivor as whole. For multiple personality part survivors, if you/the survivor are in one personality or swapping between personalities then you/the survivor can lose track of the whole picture. There could be a “hidden” personality or personalities who is/are being abused. It is important to look for and address all of your/the survivor personalities. You/the survivor needs to look after all of them. Don’t cause or continue any conflict. Give each part an equal reward and thanks in working on the programming. Sometimes you/the survivor needs to step back and imagine your/the survivor's whole self. Listen for all of the parts speaking. Personalities can give you information about the abuse and escape. Ask parts if they think the survivor is being accessed, if there are callbacks, if there has been any reprogramming, etc. Try to picture your whole self. It may seem like Swiss cheese as there are holes in the programming. These holes maybe accessing and are parts unable to speak as yet. There maybe a lot of answers and also parts whose role it is to stop you from getting the truth. Use your intuition to feel whether you have been told the truth. Also do not condemn personalities. They were tortured and lied to and just need to be cared for.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Care for all of your/the survivor self </span></b><span lang="EN-US">and which includes every part. You/the survivor needs to look after and care for your whole self. Parts with lies have only been lied to. They are not born liars. They could be led to believe that they should lie in order to “help you" or conversely that you “had done badly”. They were split off from you originally and in reality are you. They have been twisted around to suit the perpetrators. You need to reclaim you for you and stop the handler’s lies and contamination. They only lie because this is what they have been told to do. They would not do it ordinarily. Caring for them means listening to the parts lies, not accepting the lies, and explaining things in a non judgmental way. They need to know it is the despicable cult's fault. It means stopping the violence and lies done to them and who are really you. With parts that were created when you/the survivor were a young person it is important to understand your age at which they were done and care accordingly. This means extra deserving attention, doing appropriate caring things such as singing songs etc. Caring for whole of the survivor self also means being in the present and looking after your current age self. It means going for walks, eating healthy food, having good accommodation, etc. You/the survivor are looking after all of you. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">We/survivors are People</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> It is important to remember that we/survivors are people in the deprogramming. Sometimes we may forget that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we are not robots or zombies</b> which the cult would despicably like us to believe. When deprogramming, remember that personalities and the person are people with feelings and levels of understanding and knowledge. We need to look after these. Also feelings by themselves are not a safe and reliable guide. In deprogramming a lot of feelings come up. The cult abuses feelings a lot. Feelings are just feelings. They have no sense of truth or insight and can be manipulated. I was lied to so much that my “Mum was cult”. The cult produced a feeling of hatred by Me towards Mum. It was based on a lie and now I am angry at the cult for lying and which is a more correct emotion. Feelings are determined by much larger truth/lies. Even though feelings are not a reliable guide, we need to respect manipulated personalities and onesself. It is not our fault that we are lied to and so we need to be gentle in explaining to personalities and onesself that we have been lied to.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Memories Come Up When They Can</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Memories of when the programming was done come up when deprogramming. This happens as you/the survivor want to get rid of the programming and the underlying violence and lies. It is important to respect that you are bringing up memories when you can. You can work on them when you can. In times of stress such as first remembering the abuse and at call back times, you maybe flooded with memories. To try and understand things you may wish to bring back too much. If panicking and memory is flooding back ask yourself why. Is it because of accessing? A callback for ceremonies? etc. When the programming is understood it makes things easier. Eg the fear and dread felt on Saturday afternoon is because there is accessing then. One needs to respect ones abilities in dealing with memory. Too much memory can mean flooding, psychotic episodes and hospitalization. You need to say that you can only deal with so much and go into program management (see following).</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Trusting you.</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> The cult/organization and its programming methods of setups and electrocution etc where/are real. You can go back into these real memories and undo it. Sometimes the cult will lie on purpose such as abusing 3D images which were said to be “your family dying”, etc. Again it is important to see what was the reality. There were 3D images and cult members acting as family, etc. You can stop the 3D images by turning off the screen. You can stop the perpetrators acting by having a mask on and laying down poisonous gases so that they will die. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Getting the facts</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> It is very important to get the facts and the reality when deprogramming. The cult abuses fiendish hypnosis, drugs, death threats, electrocution, etc to force and delude you into thinking something else. A common one is that "your brother/sister died". In fact, it could be a cult member masquerading as "your brother/sister". They, either your real brother/sister or the cult member, did not die. Another delusion you may be forced to think is that you "are ringing the cult at such and such a time". You need to check whether this is the case or not by knowing where you were at the time. You could be ringing but at a different time. Also ask why do I have this message from the cult? Why is the cult trying to deceive me? Is it because I am being accessed, but not at the time they specify? There quite definitely could be recent accessing. As said before feelings are not a safe and reliable guide and the cult/organization abuses feelings a lot. Look for the truth and not the feeling itself.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">. </span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming and General Life</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Deprogramming needs to be seen in relationship to life generally. You are pressured by work, studies, family, friends, relationships, shopping, etc. It is important to know when it is needed to deprogram. During stress times, coping with programming is very important and life generally needs to be well used such as being with trusted friends or telling unreliable friends that you can’t see them. Social functions need to be made less important, etc. It is important not to get triggered by similar looking cult/organization things/people which are not cult, and to not go near or do things that will trigger or do harm such as tall buildings.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming and the Cult/Organization. Reclaiming Ourselves. </span></b><span lang="EN-US">Programming and deprogramming need to be put into a cult perspective in that they are specifically about the cult/organization. This is its function. It relates specifically to being accessed, being deployed, disclosure, disrupting support and cult/organization activities. The aims of the cult are to keep you under control. This is by accessing and reprogramming. The cult then want to deploy you in their cult activities. The survivor needs to separate from these. THESE CULT ACTIVITIES ARE NOT THE TOTALITY OF LIFE. WE CAN USE OUR TIME TO DEPROGRAM, WORK ON OTHER MEMORIES AND HAVE A NORMAL LIFE. Survivorship basically is about stopping the control and abuse and having a life that is our own. Even though we may not be conscious of it, our lives were controlled by perpetrators, and with recovery we find and reclaim ourselves so that we control ourselves. We find free will, we develop healthy relationships, we have a mind that is entirely our own, and we go wherever we want to and when we want to.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Call Back Stress Times</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> As a reminder, call back times can be the most harrowing times for victims/survivors. The most important thing to remember is that it is only temporary. During this crisis period it is important to get all the support you can. Tell your friends, therapist, telephone crisis counsellor (eg Lifeline), etc that you want as much support as you can. This is your crisis period. Do whatever it takes to get you through the day and night. Whatever it takes to keep you safe and sane- scream, shout, ring Lifeline, have a bath, suck a dummy, etc. You did not choose to have this, as with all cult activities, put upon you. You can now choose to cope and not allow the programming to affect you.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Again these are what to do during a Crisis (From Beyond Survival magazine)</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Breathe. Breathe deeply and wriggle your toes. Rub your arms and legs. Blink hard. Keep eye contact with something such as your pet. Make a list of your reasons NOT to kill yourself. Read it. Give a copy to your friends to read out to you when needed. Be safe and warm. Put a blanket around you and cuddle a teddy bear. Hold onto your pet. Make a list of things you can do to make you feel better: go out for dinner, have a bath, read a book, suck on a dummy, go for a walk. Whatever works or feels right for you. Write in a journal. Ring a friend. Tell yourself that you are worth being loved. You are good. Be proud of having survived. The fact that you are still alive after all the torture shows what an amazingly strong person you are. Ring a crisis number and talk to them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span lang="EN-US">The Actual Process of Undoing Programming</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Immersion and Staying Outside</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Immersion is going into the programming to understand how it functions. Staying outside is observing it from a distance. Both are important and you/the survivor needs to develop both and use them together in order to work through the programming. For example, you need to delve to feel the emotions, understand the personality parts etc and then to step back from them to get a perspective on what happens and what are lies etc. The immersion is the subjective- experiencing the personal, the memories, the mind, the intricacies of the programming, etc. When doing this you can rewind the "vcr" of the memories and tell off the perpetrators. Staying outside is the objective- the rational, the logical, the analysis of what is lies and truth, etc. It is where you can be disciplined and not allow the junk and lies to come in.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Program Management</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> All of these tools are concerned with programming management or how to live your/the survivor's life with programming under reasonable control. Discipline, living in your current age, understanding what the fear and anxiety is that lies behind the deprogramming, etc can be very important in this. The panic to deprogram, particularly at call back and disclosure times, comes from the lie "that you or someone close to you will die". This is not the case. In the seventeen years that I have been surviving and from meeting over two hundred other survivors NO ONE has died. You/the survivor can discipline one/yourself with this truth and say "this is a lie and programming. I will not go into it." Or be rational and remember that “This callback also happened last year and no-one died because I did not return”. Sometimes discipline can seem too difficult and as normal human beings we are not perfect and can "do the best we can". This means having a "bum day" and not feeling bad.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Basic Tools</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> These are general ways in which you/the survivor can help in deprogramming. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Being rational- does this makes sense; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Use intuition- this doesn’t feel right; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Getting feedback both internally from personalities and from others such as friends and a therapist; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Being flexible - knowing and doing the difference between undoing or coping; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Being eclectic or using all/many techniques; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Being sensible- eg is jumping off a bridge really going to set you free? The reality is that it will kill you; </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Being clear – are things very confusing? This could be that the deprogramming is not working or that there is a personality who is afraid to speak because of a hold by the handler. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Most importantly - loving yourself/the survivor. As survivors we suffered some of the most horrific and despicable crimes against oneself. The true and real love of ones self is what has kept us alive and doing the deprogramming. This is so that we have a better life. Cherish this. </span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Deprogramming Summary</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Always look for why you are deprogramming. It could be due to panic and anxiety over disclosing, escaping, stopping accessing, stopping callbacks for ceremonies, etc. Understanding the reasons for deprogramming anxiety gives a better perspective and helps slows things down. It also helps you to understand if you’re currently being accessed, reprogrammed, etc.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Never trust a programmer/cult/organization. They/he/she is/are always trying to deceive you for their selfishness. They only want you to be bound to them. They never ever “help you”. It is always for the cult/organization. They are selfish and manipulative in wanting you to do their criminal activities. To them you are merely a robot. They may sound “sweet” and “empathetic” but in reality they are all abusing you.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">No-one will die. I have known over two hundred survivors and them and their loved ones have never died. The cults won’t kill off someone whom they can abuse which would normally include your family. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">The memories are old and are not happening now. They are also manipulated memories which intend to deceive you. The cult and handler never helped you with the programming. They staged it so that they always come out “the winner” regardless of what really is the truth. They are trying to make out that they are “helpful”. By saying that “you must die” is not helpful. There was never a “savior”. They were all in this together and they all knew about the violence.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">You have the right to live where you want and do what you want. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">If you have innocent family and friends being non consciously abused by the cult, they are told lies about you and you do not need to listen to the lies which are really from the cult. The innocent family and friends are only repeating what they have been lied about. The innocent friends and family are not horrible people. You do not have to accept what innocent friends and family are told. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Be eclectic. Use all techniques and the appropriate ones. Depending on what your needs are- crisis, wanting to work on deep programming, wanting to remain calm, etc - use the technique/s that corresponds to your needs and wants.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">This is from a well known and remarkable survivor who is also a friend Carol Rutz. She has written extensively about ritual abuse and has given papers at a university and conferences on ritual abuse. Her groundbreaking book A Nation Betrayed (<a href="http://www2.dmci.net/users/casey">http://www2.dmci.net/users/casey</a>) is well read within the survivor community. This is from a speech she gave at the SMART (Stop Mind Control and Ritual Abuse Today) Conference in 2003. <a href="http://ritualabuse.us/smart-conference/conf03/healing-from-ritual-abuse-and-mind-control/" target="_blank">http://ritualabuse.us/smart-conference/conf03/healing-from-ritual-abuse-and-mind-control/</a></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">“I don’t believe there is only one way to deprogram. There is no right or wrong way. What is effective for one may be totally unworkable for someone else. I believe the key to deprogramming is Internal dialogue.”</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Internal dialogue is talking with personalities about how to deprogram, what is causing a current crisis, if and when accessing occurs, what is stopping them from telling you the truth, what needs to be deprogrammed and how to go about doing it, etc. As Carol says it is extremely important. It is like talking with a community in order to understand a community’s problem.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Another Webpage about Deprogramming</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">This is another webpage about deprogramming to show that there is variety and that deprogramming is very personal. This one is by the Cheryl Rainfield and is at <a href="http://www.kalimunro.com/article_programming.html">http://www.kalimunro.com/article_programming.html</a></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><b>There are two very important aspects to deprogramming</b>. The first is that SELF HARM AND SUICIDE ARE PROGRAMS. THEY ARE NOT NATURAL. DON’T BELIEVE THE PROGRAM. SUICIDAL THOUGHTS ARE CAUSED BY PROGRAMMING. IF THERE WAS NO PROGRAMMING THERE WOULD BE NO SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">The second is to TELL THE PERSONALITY WHO IS PROGRAMMED TO SUICIDE IS THAT SHE OR HE WILL DIE TOO. EVERYONE DIES.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Finished Deprogramming?</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US">A person stops deprogramming when there is no need to work on the programming. This mean s/he is not constantly affected by programming and abuse memories. S/he is not being accessed, reprogrammed and deployed. Signs that a person has deprogrammed are: not acting out greatly eg not seeing similar looking people today as being the same as the perpetrators; not seriously falling into the same patterns of abuse eg sexual compulsion; can <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">really</b> account for their time and so is not being accessed and deployed; is not compulsed to do things such as instantly “going on a holiday” which is a sign of deployment ie couriering information; etc. It is very important to be in touch with ones emotions and being responsible for them. If adults, it means having a normal adult life- studying, working, parenting, leisure, community pursuits, etc; Being deprogrammed means that the programming is either not there anymore or is not functioning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
This page is concerned with support for victims/survivors and supporters
(people who support survivors in the many ways one does from therapy to
friendship). It first describes the types of face to face support for victims/survivors
whether it be one to one counselling and/or support groups. Secondly, it gives
the names, telephone numbers and Internet addresses of counsellors, counselling
agencies and support groups known to be helpful with ritual abuse at Australia. It
then provides the titles of recommended books and webpages concerned with
ritual abuse for reading. Also it includes supportive information for specific
aspects of ritual abuse such as rape. It also addresses the necessary aspect of
being safe and how to obtain safety from perpetrators.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">One to One
Counselling</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> One to one
counselling is talking to a single person as different to a group. The word
counsellor is the main term to describe a psychologist, psychiatrist,
psychotherapist, doctor, therapist, social worker, etc. Counselling is talking
to someone about the abuse. Counsellors are very important. First of all a
counsellor is someone whom you can trust. S/he likes you and you like him/her.
They are someone to tell your story to. They are someone who knows what you’re
talking about or who will read up on the abuse to be informed. S/he is someone
who will listen and validate. S/he is also someone who can act on your behalf
with police, social security, etc, and someone who will talk to family and friends
about the abuse and your concerns. For ritual abuse survivors and supporters,
the issue is not generally talked about and accepted, and so we especially need
someone to assist us by validating the abuse. S/he needs to have some basic
understanding of ritual abuse and believes it exists, is willing to educate
him/herself about the abuse, and has an awareness of Dissociative Identity
Disorder and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
Counselling is either by those who are specifically trained and/or experienced
in ritual abuse counselling, or are general counsellors with no training and
experience but are willing to learn. A specific counsellor has attended
workshops dealing with ritual abuse and/or has many ritual abuse clients. S/he
is very knowledgeable. A general counsellor is open to accepting it, is willing
to be educated and uses their general knowledge of abuse and recovery. Both
types of counsellor, both specific and general, can help the survivor. What is
important is that they believe that ritual abuse exists and will educate
themselves about it. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Many counsellors have
said that they believe ritual abuse exists in order to please the survivor, but
in reality do not believe. They think the survivor is “delusional” and “goes
along” with the supposed “delusion” in order to “help them”. One soon finds out
that the counsellor is not really believing and it is a horrible shock for the
survivor. The cults lie about “not being believed” has therefore happened and
the survivor has to deal with this. Be sure you are talking with someone who
really believes you.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
By talking to a counsellor you are not putting anybody else at risk. A
counsellor is someone where the information you tell him/her will stay only
with that person. You do not need to worry that it will go to the police or
another professional if you don’t want it to.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Specific Ritual
Abuse Counsellors</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Specific Ritual Abuse
counsellors are mainly found within sexual assault agencies, religion based
counselling agencies, and counselling for Dissociative Identity Disorder. They
can be found anywhere though as they maybe in private practice and have an
interest in helping a ritual abuse survivor.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
Sexual assault agencies are either within government health departments or are
community based eg a rape and incest crisis centre. Sexual assault counsellors
can sometimes be the first that ritual abuse survivors call upon as the first
memories are usually sexual. Religion based counsellors eg Centacare,
Careforce, etc are concerned about ritual abuse as it is so destructive to
positive religions such as Christianity. (You also do not need to be religious
to go to a religion based counselling service.) DID counselling agencies are
also concerned about trauma and dissociation. The survivor/supporter therefore rings
the counselling agency and asks if they have a counsellor who works with ritual
abuse. Some agencies may not have a specific counsellor, but will refer to
another that does. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
There are also many individual counsellors who are specifically concerned about
the issue, and who work in a wide range of agencies and institutions outside of
sexual assault, religion based etc. They may work at a university as a
counsellor or as a religious support worker, etc. When looking for a
counsellor, you will find a supportive information network that will recommend
someone who is experienced. For example, you may ring a sexual assault agency
and they may say "No we don’t have a person here who is experienced in
ritual abuse, but we know that this person at this place does and we recommend
her/him". Specific counsellors may also work in private practice, by
themselves, and have a concern with the issue. They are referred by an agency
or long term survivor. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Caution</b> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">It is important that the
agency or a long term survivor recommends a private practice or public (eg hospital, community agency) counsellor as this
situation is open to cult abuse. A cult member maybe posing as a counsellor in
order to continue or reactivate the programming, reprogram itself and continue the abuse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">I have had two horrible experiences with cult members in public hospitals. One psychiatric ward in a public hospital south of the river in Perth has a main psychiatrist who reprograms you with awful torture. He did so at the hospital and takes you back to his house using an ambulance (and a cult member posing as an ambulance driver) and his own car with a swap over at a shopping centre. At the hospital he tortured me late at night with other cult members who are staff. Also, at a psychiatric ward north of the river, a nurse late at night came into my room and switched me into a programmed state by touching my left back shoulder blade, and demanded that "I get over problems" so that I wouldnt remember and discharge awful memories at the hospital. Ive also been reprogrammed by counsellors who worked at TAFE in NSW.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There
has also been a tendency for some counsellors to be very fixated on external
issues to ritual abuse. For example, some see being gay as being the “bad
result of ritual abuse”. Be wary of any counsellor who has fixed thoughts
related to ritual abuse. Another concern, especially with counsellors who work with
the medical model/cognitive behaviour therapy, is “accepting that ritual abuse”
occurs only to befriend the victim/survivor. They think the victim/survivor is
delusional and will only say they believe it exists so that the
victim/survivors feels like “s/he is believed” when in reality s/he isn’t. The
counsellor may have good intentions because the counsellor genuinely wants to
help the victim/survivor, but in effect is detrimental because its not really
supportive. Sooner or later the truth about what the counsellor really believes
ie that ritual abuse doesn’t exist, will come out and it can be devastating for
the victim/survivor. One needs to talk with the counsellor from the beginning
to see if s/he is genuine, and/or get a referral from a survivor or a
counselling agency who know that the counsellor is genuine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">General
Counsellors</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">General counsellors, or
those that are not knowledgeable and experienced with ritual abuse, can be
found almost anywhere. The counsellor needs to be open minded and can see that
ritual abuse could exist as with any criminal organization. Most importantly,
s/he does actually believe that it exists. S/he will educate her/himself about
the issue by reading books and the Internet, and if possible talk with
counsellors who are experienced with the issue. If the counsellor is outside a
counselling agency, a survivor or supporter definitely needs a recommendation
from another survivor or legitimate counselling agency as this situation is
again open to cult abuse.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A Good Counsellor</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Finding the right
counsellor is important. The major considerations are: do you get on with this
person and like them, how much do they cost, will they be stable eg not move,
have lots of children, not go on holidays a lot, etc. Will they fulfill most of
what is expected: validate, act on your behalf, find information, etc. Some
counsellors may bring in their wrong beliefs and are pushy. This may include
"saving the survivor and supporter from the devil", seeing "men
or women as the enemy", etc. Travel is also a major consideration. In
metropolitan areas, survivors and supporters have many counsellors available.
In rural areas, there is a shortage of counsellors and so the survivor
generally needs to find someone they can relate to locally or travel. Gender is
also another consideration. Most community based services such as rape and
incest survivor agencies are for women and children only. Men may need to talk
to a government or religious counselling agency.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cost </b> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">From my latest
information, these are the costs in counselling. They are general estimations.
They may differ because of individual services and with rising costs. You/the
survivor needs to check with the service. Counselling with a government sexual
assault centre is free. Community based sexual assault services are also
generally free. Counselling at a government mental health service is usually
free also. Religious based counselling ask for a small percentage of the income
which is sometimes not insisted upon. Some sexual assault community based
agencies may ask for a low cost fee (and give concessions) as they are not
fully covered by government funding. Doctors and psychiatrists in private
practice can either bulk bill (cost nothing) or ask for the 15% Medicare levy.
They can sometimes assist by bulk billing if you/the survivor are on benefits,
allowances, pension or a low wage. Private psychologists cost and are the most
expensive. Most do a sliding scale depending upon if you are on benefits,
allowances, pension or low wage. Some health insurance companies cover
counselling as similar to natural therapies and dental work, but they may have
provisions stopping this eg. that you have suffered from depression before and
therefore cannot claim it as a new illness. However, health insurance companies
are now becoming more flexible, but there is still a need to check with the
health insurance company first. You/the survivor can see the cost as a
consideration and not the total one. The most important consideration is liking
and trusting the counsellor. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A Recovery Bill
of Rights for Trauma Survivors </b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">If you are unsure of your
rights as a person getting counselling here is a Bill of Rights of what should
happen in counselling. If these do not occur you can point out to the
counsellor what should be happening, or find a counsellor who <u>can</u>
fulfill these rights. <a href="http://ra-info.org/resources/billrights.shtml">http://ra-info.org/resources/billrights.shtml</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Finding a

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Talking to
Someone About Being a Ritual Abuse Survivor</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> It seems hard at
first to talk to someone about ritual abuse. The survivor has lots of threats
and violence supposedly against them. It also seems as if the survivor is the
only person who knows about it. It is really important therefore to really
trust someone. From my and other survivors experience, counsellors and people
who have heard about ritual abuse will believe the survivor and will really
support them. They will not call you a liar or betray your trust. This only
happens with cult members or innocent family who are themselves lied to. I have
always been treated with respect and acceptance by counsellors and concerned
people and this helped me to talk about it. The cult also lies that “the
counsellor will be killed or hurt if they help the survivor”. I have not heard
of a counsellor being killed or hurt by counselling a ritual abuse
victim/survivor in nearly nineteen years I have been a victim/survivor.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Publically and
Community Funded Counselling Agencies</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> Below is a list of
publically and community funded and run counselling agencies that have talked
to Beyond Survival magazine (a well respected survivor magazine during the
nineties), have been recommended by survivors or I have had counselling with.
They accept it exists and have an awareness of ritual abuse. They also have
crisis numbers. There are also many others that are community based, government
or religious that for reasons of time and energy have not advertised their
services with the magazine and are still able to offer an appropriate service.
Ring your local sexual assault centre and ask to talk to someone who knows
about ritual abuse. The centres usually are aware that it exists and will help
you directly, or refer you to someone they know can help a ritual abuse
victim/survivor. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
If known, they are categorised in terms of gender they see (men, women, both)
and availability. If you could not talk to the agencies or support group, it is
best to ring your local sexual assault centre who generally are familiar with
ritual abuse and who can then refer. The services are ongoing. This can be on a
weekly, fortnightly, etc basis. Some agencies can only see people for a short
period eg. only six to eight weeks, and then one needs to find another counsellor.
Some services cost and some are free. It is best to check with the counselling
agency at the beginning what the costs are.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Private Practice
and Reductions In Payments</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Some counsellors who are
familiar with ritual abuse, and can counsel on it, are in private practice.
Just like a doctor they have their own private counselling agency. They have to
charge as they do not receive any public and/or community funding. If they are
covered by the GP Mental Health Scheme you can have up to eighteen sessions per
year with them. Their counselling availability is in terms of six sessions per
allotment ie you can get three allotments of six sessions per calendar year ie
the eighteen sessions can only fall within say 2010. One needs to talk with the
counsellor and see if s/he is covered by the GP Mental Health Scheme and then
talk to your GP (doctor). Your GP then draws up a plan of counselling with the
counsellor. It is financially covered by Medicare and therefore the cost is
dependant upon what status you hold with Medicare rebates, and also how the
counselling agencies charge. Some agencies bulk bill directly (ie no charge) if
you are on a pension or health care card as similar to bulk billing at the
doctors; others will charge fully upfront and you get a rebate from Medicare,
while others charge a small amount and you get a rebate from Medicare. It is
best to check with the counselling agency what their payment methods are and
how much you will receive from Medicare. Always tell the counselling agency if
you are on a pension (disability or aged), have a health care card or is a
student. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">You can also take out an
insurance plan that covers counselling and you can receive approximately fifty
per cent back. You pay a certain amount each week. This is usually about five
dollars depending on the company and the plan. There is a limit to how much the
insurance company will refund you. Also some insurance companies wont refund if
you have already have “shown” that you have a mental health issue. Be upfront with
them as they will investigate whether you have had “treatment” before eg with a
counsellor, been at a psychiatric hospital, etc. You will be paying money which
you will not get back.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Community Groups
Aware of Ritual Abuse</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">These are community
groups that are concerned about issues that ritual abuse survivors suffer from
eg dissociation and sexual assault, and are concerned about ritual abuse. They
offer counselling, referrals and/or information. They can also be called upon
in times of a crisis.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation has a list
of counsellors at Australia.
Many if not most counsellors who work with trauma survivors are aware of ritual
abuse and possibly have clients. They can be found at <a href="http://www.isst-d.org/directory/memberlocator.asp">http://www.isst-d.org/directory/memberlocator.asp</a>
and put Australia
in the country youre looking for. These are private therapists and so will
charge. They maybe obtained freely by use of a GP Mental Health Scheme as
outlined above. It’s best to ring them and see if they see ritual abuse
survivors as clients, and if they are covered by the GP Mental Health Scheme or
what their costs are. They may do a sliding scale depending on income.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

Living Well is a resource for men who have experienced sexual assault when as a
child, an adult or both. It has a list of sexual assault services for men
nationwide and you can ring/email the service to see if they can help with
ritual abuse or know of a nearby service that does. <a href="http://www.livingwell.org.au/Counsellingandsupport/Australiawidesexualassaultservices.aspx">http://www.livingwell.org.au/Counsellingandsupport/Australiawidesexualassaultservices.aspx</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
The Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault has a Crisis information
page at <a href="http://www.aifs.gov.au/acssa/crisis.html">http://www.aifs.gov.au/acssa/crisis.html</a>
This lists crisis services for people affected by sexual assault in every state
and territory regardless of gender. There is no need to mention that you are a
ritual abuse survivor unless you wish to. The important issue for the
counsellor and yourself is that you are in crisis and need help. Most sexual
assault counsellors know about ritual abuse but may not be very familiar with it,
so its best to work on the crisis.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Bravehearts is a national
support organisation who are concerned about sexual assault, especially of
children. They are mostly aware of ritual abuse. <a href="http://www.bravehearts.org.au/">http://www.bravehearts.org.au/</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Crisis Times</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">(From Beyond Survival
magazine) Sometimes survivors get very stressed. These are mainly when
remembering the abuse, telling others, when being told to return to cult
activities, etc (eg Halloween for satanic survivors).</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are many things you
can do to take the edge off the pain. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Breathe. Breathe deeply
and wriggle your toes. Rub your arms and legs. Blink hard. Keep eye contact
with something such as your pet. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Make a list of your
reasons NOT to kill yourself. Read it. Give a copy to your friends to read out
to you when needed. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Be safe and warm. Put a
blanket around you and cuddle a teddy bear. Hold onto your pet.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Make a list of things you
can do to make you feel better: go out for dinner, have a bath, read a book, suck
on a dummy, go for a walk. Whatever works or feels right for you.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Write in a journal. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ring a friend. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Tell yourself that you
are worth being loved. You are good. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Be proud of having
survived. The fact that you are still alive after all the torture shows what an
amazingly strong person you are. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ring a crisis number from
those listed above, the national crisis counselling services of Life Line 13 11
14 (local call) and Kids Helpline Freecall 1800 551800, and talk to them. In
case you/the survivor is concerned about being accepted as a ritual abuse
survivor by Lifeline or Kids Helpline or anyone other counselling service, you
do not need to explain that you are a survivor. What the listener/counsellor is
concerned about during a crisis is your safety and that you do NOT harm
yourself. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Flashbacks</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Flashbacks happen when
the survivor/victim feels like she is back when the abuse occurred. S/he is not
in the present and reacts as if the past trauma and programming are happening
now. They need to be understood and worked on so that the survivor/victim isn’t
acting out of past stuff. A good webpage on this is <a href="http://www.traumahealed.com/articles/flashbacks-experiencing-distress-in-safety.html">http://www.traumahealed.com/articles/flashbacks-experiencing-distress-in-safety.html</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Safety</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Being safe physically and
psychologically is extremely important as the perpetrators do want the survivor
back. The cults/organisations put a lot of money into the programming, they are
sadistic and want people harmed and they don’t want the survivor to be telling
authorities the name of the perpetrators.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">This is a good webpage
that includes many, if not all the safety tips needed for being safe. It also
includes more tips from other webpages. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><a href="http://endritualabuse.org/healing/ritual-abuse-and-torture-based-mind-control-reducing-and-preventing-re-contact-with-abusers/">http://endritualabuse.org/healing/ritual-abuse-and-torture-based-mind-control-reducing-and-preventing-re-contact-with-abusers/</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Media</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">The different forms of
media (not necessarily television or radio channels, etc, but ways of providing
information) are now responding well to revealing ritual abuse and helping
victims/survivors. Survivors and our supporters are writing books, setting up
webpages, have social media webpages eg Facebook, producing magazines and
videos, etc. The Internet, with its "do it yourself" publishing
capabilities has been particularly helpful. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b>Literature</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are now a large
number of books on ritual abuse which help survivors. These are some very

On Page 170 (first edition), of Cult and Ritual Abuse – Noblitt and Perskin
(Praeger, 1995) states “One of the best sources of evaluative research on
ritual abuse is the article “Ritual Abuse: A Review of Research” by Kathleen
Coulborn Faller (1994)….in a survey of 2,709 members of the American
Psychological Association, it was found that 30 percent of these professionals
had seen cases of ritual or religion-related abuse (Bottoms, Shaver &
Goodman, 1991). Of those psychologists who have seen cases of ritual abuse, 93
percent believed that the reported harm took place and 93 percent believed that
the alleged ritualism occurred. This is a remarkable finding. Mental health
professionals are known to be divergent in their thinking and frequently do not
agree with one another regarding questions of the diagnosis and etiology of
psychiatric problems…this level of concurrence in a large national sample of
psychologists…would be impressive…the similar research of Nancy Perry (1992)
which further supports (the previous findings)…Perry also conducted a national
survey of therapists who work with clients with dissociative disorders and she
found that 88 percent of the 1,185 respondents indicated ”belief in ritual
abuse, involving mind control and programming” (p.3).”<br />

<b>Cult and ritual abuse</b> discusses the idea that ritual abuse is an age-old
phenomenon and it is found in many cultures throughout the world. It explores
the many specific psychiatric symptoms caused by ritual abuse, including
dissociative identity disorder. The book gives suggestions for effective ways

form of abuse. A new diagnosis “Cult and ritual trauma disorder” is proposed in

<b>Jimmy Savile was part of satanic ring</b><br />
JIMMY SAVILE beat and raped a 12-year-old girl during a secret satanic ritual
in a hospital.<br />
The perverted star wore a hooded robe and mask as he abused the terrifi ed
victim in a candle-lit basement.<br />
He also chanted “Hail Satan” in Latin as other paedophile devil worshippers
joined in and assaulted the girl at Stoke
Mandeville Hospital
in Buckinghamshire. The attack, which happened in 1975, shines a sinister new
light on the former DJ’s 54-year reign of terror.<br />
Savile, who died aged 84 in October 2011, is now Britain’s worst sex offender after
police revealed he preyed on at least 450 victims aged eight to 47.<br />
The girl kept her torment hidden for nearly 20 years before finally opening up
to therapist Valerie Sinason.<br />
Dr Sinason told the Sunday Express she first spoke to the victim in 1992. “She
had been a patient at Stoke Mandeville in 1975 when Savile was a regular
visitor. Dr Sinason told the Sunday Express she first spoke to the victim

<b>Common Forms of Misinformation and Tactics of Disinformation about
Psychotherapy for Trauma Originating in Ritual Abuse and Mind Control</b> By

a number of common forms of misinformation and tactics of disinformation about
psychotherapy for trauma originating in ritual abuse and mind control. <a href="http://endritualabuse.org/activism/misinfo/" target="_blank">http://endritualabuse.org/<wbr></wbr>activism/misinfo/</a>

were unrelated to patients’ degree of media and hospital milieu exposure to the
subject of Satanic ritual abuse. “In fact, less media exposure was associated
with production of more Satanic content in patients reporting ritual abuse,
evidence that reports of ritual abuse are not primarily the product of exposure
contagion.” Responses are consistent with the devastating and pervasive abuse
these victims have experienced, so often including immediate family members. <a href="http://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/studies/ritual-abuse-diagnosis-research-2" target="_blank">http://ritualabuse.us/<wbr></wbr>ritualabuse/studies/ritual-<wbr></wbr>abuse-diagnosis-research-2</a>

<b>Wikipedia Blacklisted Four Important Websites on Ritual Abuse</b> on July

<br />
<br />
(Date of this article is July 27, 2009)<br />
On July 18, 2009, at about 9:30pm Pacific time, Wikipedia blacklisted the
following important websites on ritual abuse:<br />
<a href="http://abusearticles.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://abusearticles.<wbr></wbr>wordpress.com</a>

<a href="http://extreme-abuse-survey.net/" target="_blank">http://extreme-abuse-survey.<wbr></wbr>net</a>

<br />
<br />
My website is <a href="http://endritualabuse.org/" target="_blank">endritualabuse.org</a><br />
<br />
I have attempted to get information from Wikipedia on why my website was
blacklisted and to get it de-blacklisted. I have been stonewalled on both
counts.<br />
<br />
Since February, 2008, on Wikipedia’s page on “Satanic Ritual Abuse,”
Wikipedia’s staff has been suppressing and deleting credible posts from
credible sources (including my posts- I am a licensed California psychologist) that have
documented substantial criminal and psychological evidence of criminal ritual
abuse, and instead has completely discounted the existence of ritual abuse. As
of July 27, 2009, Wikipedia’s page on “Satanic ritual abuse” begins as follows:
“Satanic ritual abuse (SRA, sometimes known as ritual abuse, ritualistic abuse,
organised abuse, sadistic abuse and other variants) refers to a moral panic
that originated in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout the
country and eventually to many parts of the world, before subsiding in the late
1990s.”<br />
<br />
Wikipedia has now escalated its censorship of all information supporting the
existence of ritual abuse by blacklisting four important websites about ritual
abuse on July 18, 2009. <a href="https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/articles/ritualabuse-us-blacklisted-by-wikipedia/" target="_blank">https://ritualabuse.us/<wbr></wbr>ritualabuse/articles/<wbr></wbr>ritualabuse-us-blacklisted-by-<wbr></wbr>wikipedia/</a>

Miller, Alison (2014). <b>Becoming Yourself: Overcoming Mind Control and Ritual
Abuse </b> In contrast to the author’s previous book, Healing the
Unimaginable: Treating Ritual Abuse and Mind Control, which was for therapists,
this book is designed for survivors of these abuses. It takes the survivor
systematically through understanding the abuses and how his or her symptoms may
be consequences of these abuses, and gives practical advice regarding how a
survivor can achieve stability and manage the life issues with which he or she
may have difficulty. The book also teaches the survivor how to work with his or
her complex personality system and with the traumatic memories, to heal the
wounds created by the abuse.<br />
A unique feature of this book is that it addresses the reader as if he or she
is dissociative, and directs some information and exercises towards the
internal leaders of the personality system, teaching them how to build a
cooperative and healing inner community within which information is shared,
each part’s needs are met, and traumatic memories can be worked through
successfully. <a href="http://us.karnacbooks.com/product/becoming-yourself-overcoming-mind-control-and-ritual-abuse/34803/" target="_blank">http://us.karnacbooks.com/<wbr></wbr>product/becoming-yourself-<wbr></wbr>overcoming-mind-control-and-<wbr></wbr>ritual-abuse/34803/</a><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=o3B_AwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Becoming+Yourself:+Overcoming+Mind+Control+and+Ritual+Abuse+By+Alison+Miller" target="_blank"> https://books.google.com/<wbr></wbr>books?id=o3B_AwAAQBAJ&<wbr></wbr>printsec=frontcover&dq=<wbr></wbr>Becoming+Yourself:+Overcoming+<wbr></wbr>Mind+Control+and+Ritual+Abuse+<wbr></wbr>By+Alison+Miller</a><b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Buying books,

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Feminist, Christian and
quality bookshops are the main places to order and buy books. Each capital city
has Feminist and Christian bookshops some with toll free numbers. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Quality national
bookstores such as Angus and Robertson and Dymocks, and individual stores such
as Gleebooks in Sydney etc may either have the book or can order it.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Some libraries may also
have these books, particularly the related ones eg sexual assault. Libraries
also usually have their catalogues online. If a member of a metropolitan
library, a borrower can usually order a book from another metropolitan library</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><a href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon Books</a> is an Internet book ordering service
and is excellent on ritual abuse and related topics. They have over one hundred
titles on ritual abuse including those mentioned here. It may take six weeks to
get it from the U.S.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Video and Audio cassettes
have also been produced by ritual abuse survivor services. You can get or order
them at many Feminist and Christian bookshops. Each capital city should have
Feminist and Christian bookshops and some with toll free numbers.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Webpages</span></b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are many webpages
on ritual abuse. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> For Australia,
there is also <a href="https://pedophilesdownunder.com/home-2/">Pedophiles
Down Under</a> , written by a survivor who uses the Internet quite well to
expose ra, organised pedophilia and mind control.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">They are mostly based in
the United States
where the recovery movement is larger due to the larger population and a
greater emphasis on personal growth. They are not specifically U.S. focused
and are for the ritual abuse and mind control survivor internationally. The
pages are the result of community groups and individuals (both survivors and
supporters) showing their concern and providing support. They are mostly within
a broad ritual abuse context, and some also offer support for specific types eg
Perverted Masonry</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">A very good example of a
broad webpage is <a href="http://ra-info.org/">The Ritual Abuse, Ritual Crime
and Healing Page</a> or the similarly well written one at <a href="http://survivorship.org/">Survivorship</a>. These two also list the main
webpages, literature and resources for ritual abuse generally.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ritual abuse survivors
were abused by horrific torture in the brainwashing process. Governments, the
military/defence forces, espionage and "security" agencies, etc
developed and also employed these same methods to experiment with and reproduce
programmed civilians and personnel. The mind control developed by these
organisations is also the same one abused in ritual abuse cults. The cults
either brought it from these organisastions, or the cult and the organization
are the same such as the Illuminati. Many ritual abuse survivors were also
tortured within these organizations for illegal activities of the governments
and military.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">These are well written
and researched webpages concerned with mind control by ritual abuse cults and
other organizations.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">And another well
respected webpage on ritual abuse, government abuse and mind control focused on
North America is the North American Freedom Foundation <a href="http://naffoundation.org/">http://naffoundation.org/</a> Even though for
North American survivors, it does still have relevant information on ritual
abuse, mind control, government abuse, etc.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There is also a webpage
on recovery for Canadian survivors at <a href="http://www.victoriousheartinc.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.victoriousheartinc.<wbr></wbr>ca</a>
The general information about ritual abuse can also be used for Australian
survivors as with any overseas webpage.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b>Search Engines</b> such as yahoo.com and google.com can take you to where
there are other webpages. Subject headings can include: ritual abuse, satanic
ritual abuse, ritual abuse torture, organized sadistic abuse, mind control, government
mind control, satanism, organized pedophilia, "snuff movies", etc.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Emailing</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Emailing other Survivors Directly</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> Some of the webpages have the
opportunity to email the webpage writer who is usually a ritual abuse survivor.
</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Email and Newsgroup List Support
Groups</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> These are
support groups where people email. They are different to chat groups where
people are talking at the same time. Some are publically advertized while
others are private. They usually are very safe as the list facilitators are
particularly concerned about safety. A selection of publically advertized email
lists for ritual abuse survivors is at <a href="http://onelist.com/">http://onelist.com</a>.
Just type in ritual abuse in the subject search. An example of a good email
list is psl ritual abuse </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Caution is needed.</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> Even though list facilitators and
contributors generally are very safety minded and indeed safe, emailing other
survivors (both facilitators and contributors) can go outside safety measures.
There can be very little information with knowing who they are and not having
other people for feedback. This could lead to being revictimized. There are
actual cases of revictimisation through email and the internet. Most survivors
however have got a lot out of this support. I personally have not come across
any revictimisation. Use your intuition, and whether you have benefited from
the discussions.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Support For Supporters of
Victims/Survivors</span></b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Supporters are very
important for victims/survivors and our recovery. They validate, sometimes in a
very alienating world, and provide emotional, spiritual, financial, physical
(in times of sickness or need of housing), informational, educational, legal,
etc support. Supporters can be co-survivors who are fellow ritual abuse
survivors, other abuse survivors eg sexual assault survivors, counsellors,
friends, non offending family, workers such as within the media or police, etc.
</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">The important
consideration for supporters and victim/survivors is that both people are
striving for an independent and a self empowered life. Think of ways that
provide support and not dependence. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Resources for supporters

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Specific Support</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Counsellors </span></b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are many books on
ritual abuse that are written for the counsellor. Survivors and supporters can
also use them. Two well used ones are: </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<u><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Satanic Ritual Abuse:
A Therapist's Handbook</span></u><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"> by Dee Brown. This is a warm, encouraging introduction to the
treatment of adult survivors written for therapists beginning work in this
area.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<u><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ritual Child Abuse
Discovery, Diagnosis and Treatment </span></u><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">by Pamela Hudson. This is a survey of symptoms of child
survivors of extra-familial ritual abuse and a discussion of therapy with both
agitated and 'frozen' children. Kind, respectful, and well written.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Both of these books can
be ordered through Amazon books at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon.com </a>or
possibly through a bookshop such as Dymocks nationwide or Glebe Books at Sydney. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Ritual Abuse, Ritual
Crime and Healing Page has telephone training guidelines to assist counsellors
talking to survivors. This is at <a href="http://ra-info.org/resources/ra_hotl.shtml">http://ra-info.org/resources/ra_hotl.shtml</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Supporters
Generally</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There is a wide selection
of books and resources that are written for the supporter from any background
or relationship to the survivor. These include: </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Satanic Ritual Abuse: A
Therapist's Handbook by Dee Brown </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Breaking the Circle of
Ritual Abuse by Daniel Ryder. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">They can be ordered at <a href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon books</a> and from any quality bookshop. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Webpages such as <a href="http://ra-info.org/">The Ritual Abuse, Ritual Crime and Healing Page</a>
has information for the non survivor/supporter. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are many journal
and magazine articles on the net which can be accessed by doing appropriate
searches by yahoo.com and google.com.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">ASCA <a href="http://www.asca.org.au/displaycommon.cfm?an=2">http://www.asca.org.au/displaycommon.cfm?an=2</a>
can be emailed concerning finding more information about ritual abuse in Australia.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Innocent Friends
and Family.</b> All the literature listed is helpful for friends and innocent
family. You need to understand what specifically is going on for a survivor,
and incorporate this within the ways someone generally supports someone else. A
book that is especially good about helping a survivor of sexual assault is
Allies in Healing: When the Person You Love Was Sexually Abused as a Child by
Laura Davis. She validates ritual abuse in the book and it is good as a guide
for supporters. Laura's book can be obtained at any good bookstore or through
ordering at <a href="http://amazon.com/">Amazon.com</a></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">Counsellors can also talk
with friends and non offending family of survivors if there needs to be
education or other matters about the abuse. Some government, church and
community counselling services sometimes hold workshops that are specifically
for supporters.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Assisting During
Crisis Periods</b></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">The major times survivors
need support is during crisis periods. This is when they are becoming a
survivor, remembering, disclosing the abuse, escaping, call back periods,
anything else that triggers in a large way e.g. having to have to contact cult
or innocent family as there is a death in the family, or experiencing trauma
that is not directly cult related e.g. a miscarriage but will also set off cult
triggers, etc. Please also see Crisis Periods at the Recovery Page for when
survivors cope. </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.0pt;">What is important is a
genuine willingness to assist the survivor for a period of time. The survivor
will generally know how long that period will be for. Some survivors only need
a couple of days, some more. The supporter needs to know their abilities and
limitations and be clear with this. It is really detrimental to have shaky
support as it will only restimulate cult lies that "friends/counsellors/partners/family
are not supportive". Survivors are also having a rough enough time that
they cannot look after a supporters' inconsistency.</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span><br />

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">My Story</span></b></span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">I </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">have always wanted to be free and even changed my name to Free so that I could really be. I have been helped by lovely people who have validated that I was being abused and supported me. These are survivors on email lists, counsellors and friends I’ve known for many years. I am just coming out of a bumpy time and hopefully I am free from the strings and manipulation the cults did to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">I finally escaped the cult in August 2008. I had come back to Australia to get help and deprogram. I was living at Malaysia and Indonesia and was lied to that I “was free”. In fact I was deployed by the cults in conjunction with government espionage agencies to spy on Muslim people. I was <span class="GramE">non</span> consciously avoiding this deployment by going to areas the government espionage agencies didn’t want me to go to. I realised however that I needed to be back at Australia and still not accessed by the cults. I needed familiarity and counselling, and to not go near Brisbane or Wollongong where the ex handlers were. I went to Perth and got medical help such as anti depressants and counselling to stop the programming, accessing and deployment. I also had two email lists to help me. This is where I am at now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Going back to the beginning, recovery started in 1992 when I was validated about ritual abuse by three ritual abuse survivors in an incest survivors group. This was at Wollongong the main area of the abuse. I quickly became a survivor. I left work as a teacher, and got counseling support. I was going to every support group, talk, etc that I could on ritual abuse at both Wollongong and Sydney. I did stories with the local newspaper The Illawarra Mercury who were very supportive. I also did a talk with Trish Goddard, a television interviewer, on her Channel Ten Health Show about ritual abuse. I also did an interview on the local ABC Radio Breakfast Program on ritual abuse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">My story was also included in the ASCA (Adult Survivors of Child Abuse) book on surviving abuse called “Breaking <span class="GramE">The</span> Silence”. My story as a ritual abuse survivor was included in the “Going Public” and “Confronting the Perpetrator” sections. I wrote about confronting the perpetrator – the father, and about going public as I had spoken to the media and went to the NSW Wood Royal Commission into the Police Service (1994-6). The Wood Royal Commission was very important in two ways. Firstly, ritual abuse was raised officially within a major government investigation, and secondly the Commission did not dismiss it but said that it could happen as “psycho-sexual murders of children had been known to exist” and ritual abuse was similar. I was also published in a U.S. anthology of Ritual Abuse Survivors Stories called Breaking Ritual Silence by Jeanne Marie Lorena and Paula Levy. The article is called “Joyous, Humble and Thoroughly Outraged” and this is how I feel about the cults/govt and escaping.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">However, unknowingly and annoyingly I was still being <span class="GramE">non</span> consciously mind controlled at Wollongong. In the mid 1990s the handler (the main mind controller and programmer) at Wollongong promised me “freedom” if I went to Brisbane. I <span class="GramE">non</span> consciously trusted that handler and I thought I was “escaping”. I didn’t know that I was still being mind controlled and was not conscious to the abuse. Between Wollongong and Brisbane the Wollongong handler passed me over to a new handler in Brisbane. The new handler cajoled me that I would be “safe in Brisbane”. HOW ANNOYING IS THAT! This new handler also lied that she was a “good person”. I now realise what the cult wanted. They wanted to stop me from doing more recovery, telling my innocent family about the abuse, and doing public education about ritual abuse. I was on television, in the newspapers and on radio speaking out against ritual abuse. SADLY AND ANNOYINGLY I WAS PROGRAMMED SO MUCH THAT I WENT TO BRISBANE FULLY UNAWARE OF BEING FURTHER ABUSED. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">The HANDLER IN WOLLONGONG SENT ME TO ANOTHER HANLDER IN BRISBANE. There I was tortured and reprogrammed again. They abused electricity, hypnosis, drugs and other torture. They abused videos that had preplanned and designed scenarios of deliberate setups that produced loss, no choice and loyalty to them. She and other perpetrators <span class="GramE">non</span> consciously reprogrammed me to be blindly loyal to the organization and do what they wanted. They particularly abused me for military stuff. I was sent to Townsville and Toowoomba to relay military information, and then overseas to Lithuania, Spain (Barcelona), Indonesia and Malaysia to both pass on information and to observe people for social information. IT MAKES ME ANGRY! Thankfully as I said I was able to stop most of the deployment in Malaysia and Indonesia and come back to Australia to live and deprogram. I live now in a safe place with twenty four hour protection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">I was abused by various cults, and the main one was satanic. The cult’s abhorrence was determined by the cult leaders <u>which </u>were plainly twisted and megalomaniac. <span class="GramE">Its</span> hard to call them<u> who</u> as they are worse than animals. Animals have more respect for other things than cult leaders and members. All the cult members are detestable and how they can face an afterlife is beyond me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">The ceremonies are these dark, morbid things that have no value whatsoever. They drain from the earth rather than give anything to it. The closest <span class="GramE">thing to it are</span> battlefields of war and animal slaughterhouses. The ceremonies are in a way a war against humanity. The cult members and leaders do ritual abuse because they horribly hate people. It’s more than despising. It’s an actual hatred of life. They could be jealous of people being happy and living, but it’s hard to say what their motivation is. They worship death is the only answer I can think of. And it’s very different from being thankful for people who have died in wars in order to defend ones country. This is the actual worship of the death of someone or an animal. It is actually very nonhuman. Humans do not have this belief naturally. Our lives are about sustaining life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Here’s a shortened list that states the years and places of the abuse. It also lists the type of abuse e.g. ritual abuse, govt mc, etc, and also a subheading of the type e.g. Baal "worship", medical experimentation, couriering information, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1958 - 60 was born in 1958 at Bourke and don’t think there was any abuse until 1960</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1960 - Bourke, NSW - the old man, his sister, and his father (deceased) first started torturing and sexually abusing me. (Before this the old man went to Bourke from (Sydney) to find a programmable wife (my Mum) and bring her back to the east coast.) His sister and father travelled to Bourke to start the programming process with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="GramE" style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt;">1960-64- Abuse in the Gerringong, Kiama, Werri Beach and Gerroa areas.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> The old man moved me and Mum to Werri Beach. My brother was born in 1964. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Mum, my brother and I were abused horrifically at <span class="GramE">Satanic</span> ritual abuse ceremonies. <span class="GramE">Mostly at a church on the South Coast of New South Wales.</span> I’m not sure if it still being abused but it mostly certainly was in the early 1960s. <span class="GramE">Was also abused by a Nazi worshipping cult in this area.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">The programming was very intense during this period where I was raped horribly at the ceremonies, and was starved and abused at perpetrators’ houses, mostly farmhouses. <span class="GramE">Was abused for child pornography.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1964- 75 Abused in the Illawarra area. The old man moved the family to the cults and govt mc perpetrators of the Illawarra.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Cults included Satanic, Nero "worshipping", Baal "worshipping", and Masonic "worship".</span><br />
<span class="GramE" style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt;">Was abused at many different places in the Illawarra including hotels and many farms dotted around southern Wollongong, and Mt Kembla.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> This was ritual abuse of all types, but mainly satanic.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Was abused by many pedophile groups and in the suburb we lived which was Berkeley.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Govt mind control started by govt perpetrators. Was trained in military and <span class="GramE">espionage,</span> and in theft in order to steal jewellery from rich homes.</span><br />
<span class="GramE" style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt;">Was abused by staff at two schools at Berkeley: Berkeley High School and Berkeley West Primary School.</span></span><br />
<span class="GramE" style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt;">Was abused by a doctor for medical and government experimentation.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Was abused at the <span class="GramE">grandfathers</span> house at Chester Hill at Sydney on most weekends and also at a military barracks in southern Sydney. Here they would program me to be observant, to be a courier of information and to be militarily minded.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1975-78 - went to university at Armidale - University of New England. <span class="GramE">Was abused mainly for govt stuff such as observing the political "unrest" of students, and to courier drug, military and espionage information between Armidale/Tamworth and Sydney/Wollongong.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1979 - Went to University of New South Wales at Sydney and was abused for drug production and couriering information between Sydney and Wollongong concerning political affairs, espionage and military.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1980-81 - Went to New Zealand and taught at a high school there. <span class="GramE">Was abused as a courier for information between Sydney and Auckland, and to gauge the level of Maori "unrest" as I was teaching in a mostly Maori community.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1982 - 96 <span class="GramE">Mainly</span> abused by government perpetrators in Wollongong to observe Aboriginal communities for the level of "unrest". <span class="GramE">Was also abused at ra ceremonies and as "the adult" for child pornography.</span> <span class="GramE">Was also abused to courier information within Wollongong and also to produce illicit drugs.</span> Main abuse was for assassinating asylum seekers on govt perpetrator navy vessels off the NW coast of Australia. The govt perpetrators didn’t declare them to the news agencies or any other public institution. I was also taken to the Solomon Islands and had to assassinate people trying to reclaim their land from big mining companies on the islands.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">In between this in 1983 I was sent to an isolated Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory to observe tribal Aboriginal "unrest"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">1996-2000 was taken to Brisbane by programming and retrained for couriering of information globally and to attend mostly SRA ceremonies but also American holiday ones such as Thanksgiving.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">2000- 2008 was sent overseas. <span class="GramE">First to Lithuania and the Basque area of Spain.</span> <span class="GramE">Then to Indonesia and Malaysia.</span> In June 2008 I realised that I was still being abused even though it seemed weird that I was on isolated tropical islands at Malaysia. The perpetrators were abusing me to observe Muslim "unrest".</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">I came back to Australia and got therapy and I hope I have stopped accessing and deployment. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">I’m pretty sure I have this time.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One to one <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> is talking to a single person as different to a group. The word <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is the main term to describe a psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, doctor, therapist, social worker, etc. <span class="SpellE">Counselling</span> is talking to someone about the abuse. <span class="SpellE">Counsellors</span> are very important. First of all a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is someone whom you can trust. S/he likes you and you like him/her. They are someone to tell your story to. They are someone who knows what you’re talking about or who will read up on the abuse to be informed. S/he is someone who will listen and validate. S/he is also someone who can act on your behalf with police, social security, etc, and someone who will talk to family and friends about the abuse and your concerns. For ritual abuse survivors and supporters, the issue is not generally talked about and accepted, and so we especially need someone to assist us by validating the abuse. S/he needs to have some basic understanding of ritual abuse and believes it exists, is willing to educate him/herself about the abuse, and has an awareness of Dissociative Identity Disorder and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="SpellE"><span lang="EN-US">Counselling</span></span><span lang="EN-US"> is either by those who are specifically trained and/or experienced in ritual abuse <span class="SpellE">counselling</span>, or are general <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> with no training and experience but are willing to learn. A specific <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> has attended workshops dealing with ritual abuse and/or has many ritual abuse clients. S/he is very knowledgeable. A general <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is open to accepting it, is willing to be educated and uses their general knowledge of abuse and recovery. Both types of <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>, both specific and general, can help the survivor. What is important is that they believe that ritual abuse exists and will educate themselves about it. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Many <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> have said that they believe ritual abuse exists in order to please the survivor, but in reality do not believe. They think the survivor is “delusional” and “goes along” with the supposed “delusion” in order to “help them”. One soon finds out that the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is not really believing and it is a horrible shock for the survivor. The cults lie about “not being believed” has therefore happened and the survivor has to deal with this. Be sure you are talking with someone who really believes you.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">By talking to a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> you are not putting anybody else at risk. A <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is someone where the information you tell him/her will stay only with that person.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Specific Ritual Abuse <span class="SpellE">Counsellors</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Specific Ritual Abuse <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> are mainly found within sexual assault agencies, religion based <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agencies, and <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> for Dissociative Identity Disorder. They can be found anywhere though as they maybe in private practice and have an interest in helping a ritual abuse survivor.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Sexual assault agencies are either within government health departments or are community based <span class="SpellE">eg</span> a rape and incest crisis centre. Sexual assault <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> can sometimes be the first that ritual abuse survivors call upon as the first memories are usually sexual. Religion based <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> <span class="SpellE">eg</span> <span class="SpellE">Centacare</span>, <span class="SpellE">Careforce</span>, etc are concerned about ritual abuse as it is so destructive to positive religions such as Christianity. (You also do not need to be religious to go to a religion based <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> service.) DID <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agencies are also concerned about trauma and dissociation. The survivor/supporter therefore rings the <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency and asks if they have a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> who works with ritual abuse. Some agencies may not have a specific <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>, but will refer to another that does. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">There are also many individual <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> who are specifically concerned about the issue, and who work in a wide range of agencies and institutions outside of sexual assault, religion based etc. They may work at a university as a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> or as a religious support worker, etc. When looking for a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>, you will find a supportive information network that will recommend someone who is experienced. For example, you may ring a sexual assault agency and they may say "No we don’t have a person here who is experienced in ritual abuse, but we know that this person at this place does and we recommend her/him". Specific <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> may also work in private practice, by themselves, and have a concern with the issue. They are referred by an agency or long term survivor. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Caution:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> It is important that the agency or a long term survivor recommends a private practice <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> as this situation is open to cult abuse. A cult member maybe posing as a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> in order to continue or reactivate the programming and continue the abuse. There has also been a tendency for some <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> to be very fixated on issues surrounding ritual abuse. For example some see being gay as being the “bad result of ritual abuse”. Be wary of any <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> who has fixed thoughts related to ritual abuse. Another concern, especially with <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> who work with the medical model/cognitive <span class="SpellE">behaviour</span> therapy, is “accepting that ritual abuse” occurs only to befriend the victim/survivor. They think the victim/survivor is delusional and will only say they believe it exists so that the victim/survivors feels like “s/he is believed” when in reality s/he isn’t. The <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> may have good intentions because the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> genuinely wants to help the victim/survivor, but in effect is detrimental because its not really supportive. Sooner or later the truth about what the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> really believes <span class="SpellE">ie</span> that ritual abuse doesn’t exist, will come out and it can be devastating for the victim/survivor. One needs to talk with the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> from the beginning to see if s/he is genuine, and/or get a referral from a survivor or a <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency who know that the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is genuine.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">General <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span>, or those that are not knowledgeable and experienced, can be found almost anywhere. The <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> needs to be open minded and can see that ritual abuse could exist as with any criminal organization. Most importantly, s/he does actually believe that it exists. S/he will educate her/himself about the issue by reading books and the Internet, and if possible talk with <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> who are experienced with the issue. If the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is outside a <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency, a survivor or supporter definitely needs a recommendation from another survivor or legitimate <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency as this situation is again open to cult abuse.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Finding the right <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> is important. The major considerations are: do you get on with this person and like them, how much do they cost, will they be stable <span class="SpellE">eg</span> not move, have lots of children, not go on holidays a lot, etc. Will they fulfill most of what is expected: validate, act on your behalf, find information, etc. Some <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> may bring in their wrong beliefs and are pushy. This may include "saving the survivor and supporter from the devil", seeing "men or women as the enemy", etc. Travel is also a major consideration. In metropolitan areas, survivors and supporters have many <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> available. In rural areas, there is a shortage of <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> and so the survivor generally needs to find someone they can relate to locally or travel. Gender is also another consideration. Most community based services such as rape and incest survivor agencies are for women and children only. Men may need to talk to a government or religious <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Cost </span></b><span lang="EN-US">From my latest information, these are the costs in <span class="SpellE">counselling</span>. They are general estimations. They may differ because of individual services and with rising costs. You/the survivor needs to check with the service. <span class="SpellE">Counselling</span> with a government sexual assault centre is free. Community based sexual assault services are also generally free. <span class="SpellE">Counselling</span> at a government mental health service is usually free also. Religious based <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> ask for a small percentage of the income which is sometimes not insisted upon. Some sexual assault community based agencies may ask for a low cost fee (and give concessions) as they are not fully covered by government funding. Doctors and psychiatrists in private practice can either bulk bill (cost nothing) or ask for the 15% Medicare levy. They can sometimes assist by bulk billing if you/the survivor are on benefits, allowances, pension or a low wage. Private psychologists cost and are the most expensive. Most do a sliding scale depending upon if you are on benefits, allowances, pension or low wage. Some health insurance companies cover <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> as similar to natural therapies and dental work, but they may have provisions stopping this <span class="SpellE">eg</span>. that you have suffered from depression before and therefore cannot claim it as a new illness. However, health insurance companies are now becoming more flexible, but there is still a need to check with the health insurance company first. You/the survivor can see the cost as a consideration and not the total one. The most important consideration is liking and trusting the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It seems hard at first to talk to someone about ritual abuse.

It is really important therefore to really trust someone. From my and other survivors experience, <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> and people who have heard about ritual abuse will believe the survivor and will really support them. They will not call you a liar or betray your trust. This only happens with cult members or innocent family who are themselves lied to. I have always been treated with respect and acceptance by <span class="SpellE">counsellors</span> and concerned people and this helped me to talk about it. The cult also lies that “the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> will be killed or hurt if they help the survivor”. I have not heard of a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> being killed or hurt by <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> a ritual abuse victim/survivor in nearly nineteen years I have been a victim/survivor.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Just like a doctor they have their own private <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency. They have to charge as they do not receive any public and/or community funding. If they are covered by the GP Mental Health Scheme you can have up to eighteen sessions per year with them. Their <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> availability is in terms of six sessions per allotment <span class="SpellE">ie</span> you can get three allotments of six sessions per calendar year <span class="SpellE">ie</span> the eighteen sessions can only fall within say 2010. One needs to talk with the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span> and see if s/he is covered by the GP Mental Health Scheme and then talk to your GP (doctor). Your GP then draws up a plan of <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> with the <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>. It is financially covered by Medicare and therefore the cost is dependant upon what status you hold with Medicare rebates, and also how the <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agencies charge. Some agencies bulk bill directly (<span class="SpellE">ie</span> no charge) if you are on a pension or health care card as similar to bulk billing at the doctors; others will charge fully upfront and you get a rebate from Medicare, while others charge a small amount and you get a rebate from Medicare. It is best to check with the <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency what their payment methods are and how much you will receive from Medicare. Always tell the <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> agency if you are on a pension (disability or aged), have a health care card or is a student. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">You can also take out an insurance plan that covers <span class="SpellE">counselling</span> and you can receive approximately fifty per cent back. You pay a certain amount each week. This is usually about five dollars depending on the company and the plan. There is a limit to how much the insurance company will refund you. Also some insurance companies wont refund if you have already have “shown” that you have a mental health issue. Be upfront with them as they will investigate whether you have had “treatment” before <span class="SpellE">eg</span> with a <span class="SpellE">counsellor</span>, been at a psychiatric hospital, etc. You will be paying money which you will not get back.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The survivor will generally know how long that period will be for. Some survivors only need a couple of days, some more. The supporter needs to know their abilities and limitations and be clear with this. It is really detrimental to have shaky support as it will only <span class="SpellE">restimulate</span> cult lies that "friends/<span class="SpellE">counsellors</span>/partners/family are not supportive".
