Escaping Twin Flames

I recently found this on Netflix and I binged it on a Sunday. I also found another docuseries about this called, 'Desperately Seeking Soulmates: Escaping Twin Flames Universe' Both the docuseries are very good, you get a lot of needed information. They need to be exposed and charged with encouraging and being accomplices to crimes (stalking, physical and sexual abuse) and is there a law or something for coercing/brainwashing someone to change their gender/sexuality?

Jeff and Sheleia prey on the vulnerable and lonely people. First, they provide them with an online community of "friendly", like-minded people and promise them that they'll find something better than fairytale true love and wealth. Then, they start controlling them - for people who don't know, it is HARD to get out of such abusive and controlling relationships. Save people from joining this group by letting more and more people see who and what this cult truly is.

It's absolutely wild that these two con artists are still on Instagram and YouTube and still running their scam. I hope the FBI get involved and child services. I especially feel sorry for their child who they apparently say will never allowed to have sex or a relationship because she is the third in their twin flame union. They are praying on the vulnerable and desperate.

A good, interesting and well made documentary by Netflix. Exposing this cult via real footage and multiple interviews with ex- members who've escaped and the parents of current members that are still involved.

Recommended.

I would have given this a 9 if it wasn't multiple episodes. Typical of Netflix to drag things out too long. I almost didn't keep watching after the first episode. Wasn't seeing anything exceptional or interesting. I stuck it out, and whoa... Twin Flames found a way to take a sensitive subject of current day, manipulate it and use it as a way to control people. Twin Flames is setting a dangerous precedent that will fuel the anti-trans movement.

Also to note, the chefs plate so called curated recipes all looked like food you would feed a child. Haha. I found that to be a laughable aspect of the cult. These people must have been in deep to not see the deliberate scam there.

I'm interested in cults and religious groups that control their followers. Twin Flames Universe is a cult, no question. What's interesting is that the two leaders, Shaleia and Jeff, could not be more uninteresting or sophomoric. I wondered, as I watched this expose, how people felt led to continue in their nonsense. I truly feel sorry for all of their victims, because that's what they are: victims. The parents of the victims especially made me feel awful, because here is this snot-nosed leader, suing one of the parent's of a victim, for defamation.

I guess it's hard to shut down these criminals because it's hard to prove that they are dispensing psychological advice, but they are. They are also promoting unverified high carb diets. The worst thing is how they control their followers into pursuing their twin flame, at all cost. Now, because they have more female followers than male followers, they force them into same sex relationships.

I agree with another post: why did they have to include a stat on transsexuals at the end of the doc? Who cares? That's Netflix for you, and it's annoying. There's always an agenda.

It's hard to watch people who are vulnerable get sucked in like this. I'll just say this:

Cults make people do things they don't want to do or wouldn't normally do. I'll repeat: CULTS MAKE PEOPLE DO THINGS THEY DON'T WANT TO DO. If you say you don't want to do what they tell you to do, they'll coerce, shame, blame, and threaten you if you don't want to do what you're told to do. The leaders will do it themselves, but they'll also use other cult members to apply the required pressure to make you submit.

When you're in a cult, you don't know you're in one until something terrible happens that brings on the questions, because if you're not asking questions, you'll never get out. And cult leaders and their devoted followers hate when you ask questions, because questions will usually lead to you walking out of the physical or virtual doors.

What's difficult about this particular cult is they're a "virtual cult" - they mostly didn't live anywhere near each other. It was all happening over the Internet. Unlike the other cults we've heard of, this cult existed almost entirely in the virtual world, so entirely in the minds of its members. No one was physically prevented from leaving, but in their minds they were trapped. Asking questions is how all former cult members manage to escape.

It's a tough watch. I can't recommend watching, but if you have an interest in cults, or think you have been subjected to a person or group of people who have made you do things you didn't want to do, then watch and ask questions of the world around you. You might be in one and not even know it.
