Hi there, I have reason to believe one of my dear friends has been in a cult for the last decade. I have heard it refered to as a "monastery" and the so called leader " John" last name possibly "perill" passed away 4 some years ago. Would anyone happen to have any info or possibly heard of something like this? Some of the things these people say they go through are "emotional detoxing, very intune with past lives, finding inlightenment, transending consciousness, etc." Any info would be appreciated. This man has written a book but my friend will not tell me the name when I ask. Thank you.
