Missing... Richard Leape went missing after his involvement with the
Kenja Communications group
Happier days... Cornelia Rau on holiday in Queensland and (inset) Ken
Dyers
This is the face behind a cult

THIS is the guru behind the mysterious religious cult attended by
Baxter detention centre victim Cornelia Rau.
Elusive millionaire Ken Dyers was traced as it was revealed a second
member of his Kenja group is missing.
The Daily Telegraph has also learned the practices of his "self
empowerment" cult, based in Surry Hills, is now under investigation by
the police.
Dyers, 83, has refused to comment on claims by Ms Rau's family that she
attended his secretive group at the time she began her slide into
schizophrenia.
Tackled outside his $4 million clifftop mansion in Bundeena, he said:
"I have already said I do not wish to communicate..."
His message was the same to the distraught family of a Sydney
schoolteacher who went missing after joining Kenja.
Richard Leape, who taught at several private girls' schools in Sydney
and Wollongong, was being treated for schizophrenia when he was there.
Shortly afterwards, he disappeared and has not been seen for almost 12
years in a case which closely mirrors that of Cornelia Rau.
Ms Rau, who also suffered mental problems, vanished after attending the
group, and ended up in Baxter detention centre after being mistaken for
an illegal immigrant.
Mr Leape's sister, Annette, said her brother would now be 49 and his
details are posted on the national missing persons' website.
"I felt sick when I saw the article in The Daily Telegraph about that
poor girl Cornelia and how she was involved with Kenja because it was
so similar to Richard's," she said.
"I'm appalled to read this organisation is still in existance and have
grave concerns that there may be many other persons who have had
contact and so-called therapies with this organisation, and developed
very serious mental illnesses."
She claimed Richard stopped taking his medication after attending the
group. Cornelia also refused medication at the time she was with Kenja,
said her family.
Ms Leape said she became worried about her brother in March 1993 and
travelled from the Gold Coast to help.
"I found him pacing the street in Surry Hills. He was totally paranoid
and irrational, saying Nazis were going to get him," she said.
"He wouldn't even let me stand on the same side of the street let alone
give him a hug. He wouldn't let me touch him."
She took him, with the help of local police, to St Vincent's Hospital
where he was diagnosed schizophrenic, but he refused care.
"I knew I just had to get him out of Sydney so I tried to take him back
to the hotel, with the intention of then getting him on a plane."
But she says her brother told her: "I've been told to sever all ties
with my family for the good of all concerned."
When she asked who had told him such nonsense, he replied: "The
master."
A short time later Richard jumped out of the taxi and has not been
heard from since.
Ms Leape said she repeatedly asked Kenja for information and help.
"They kept hanging up on me as soon as I mentioned his name," she said.
The same claim was made yesterday by Ms Rau's family.
Ms Rau, 39, continues to be treated for mental illness at a Adelaide
psychiatric hospital.
The government has announced an inquiry into how she fell between the
cracks and ended up in jail.
Queensland Premier Peter Beattie yesterday released an edited
transcript of an interview with Ms Rau at the Brisbane Women's
Correctional Centre on July 5 last year in which she claimed to be an
illegal german immigrant.
Mr Beattie said Ms Rau had told officers her real name was Anna
Schmidt.

On the second day of my LGAT, the teacher (or guru) discussed inner child. She said human emotion is like an iceberg, once it reaches its peak, it slides downhill since. Sea water below the iceberg can be compared to human unconscious. She mentioned that human emotion peaks around age 14. Now, think of it, I believed the guru is playing mind control. She played mind control (or mind trap) on almost every topic.
After the teaching of inner child, we began our team discussion. I told the leader that I had an experience of being lost when I was a kid. Then, when the class resumed, the guru asked me to shared my experience. I told the class how I was left behind by my family in a forest park and how strangers helped me to find my family at the end.
The guru then shared one of her experience: her experience of treating a patient who was lost as a child. Then she turned the topic sharply. She began to attribute that person’s broken marriage to his missing experience. The guru said that, because the stranger who helped the person to return to his family was loving and beautiful, he searched for beautiful and loving women for his entire life. That’s why he kept divorcing.
I can see her intentions now: lost child experience…loving & beautiful woman…grown man…broken marriage….
I just don’t get why every discussion at LGAT ends up everyone screaming and crying. After the guru talked about her “patient”, she asked people to group into two. We began hugging with “eyes close”. Music was played while the guru began her hypnotic tongue with microphone. At one point, she asked one of the two to shout repeatedly “where are you, (partner’s name)? “ The other person should shout back “I am here.” However, all participants should continue shouting while maintain hugging until the guru said “stop”. Like below:
A: Where are you, (partner’s name)? ….repeatedly….until the guru said “stop”
B: I am here!! …repeatedly…”until the guru said “stop”.
The guru would say that we can’t find our lost inner child because our voices were too low. She demanded everyone to shout at the top of their lungs. With my eyes close, I didn’t even know how long the exercise had took. At the end, I lost my voice.
Until I read a psychology book recently, I come to aware that people at young age tends to have thin boundary. Normally we consider those languages as child’s words or kid’s play and would not dig too deep into its actual meaning. However, in a trance exercise, playing children emotion on adults could be deadly with serious consequence: boundary lost and mind trap inserted. The most scary part is that participants don’t even know they’ve been abused. :(
