When I was part of the Deerfield cult in Dahlonega, working for OCR and Energetix Corporation, I remember that the most common words you would hear coming out of everybody’s mouths were: wonderful, beautiful and blessed. In spite of that, most of us will admit that we did have questions popping up in our heads. Was everything really wonderful? There was always something, some situation, some little detail that would make us want to give an opinion or to just ask the reason behind things.

What kind of answers did we get? Everything was ambiguous, secretive and full of cultish complicated words that would make us want to keep so many of our questions to ourselves, out of shame or fear of rejection. After all, who were we to want to understand the reasons behind every weird thing that was going on? Who were we to question “the Lord and His representatives” on earth?

Well, do you remember the answers that Jane W. Clarke, Grant Clarke and Gregg Hake would give us, particularly in order to dodge the subject, to not take any responsibility, to do nothing about it, to get off the point, or to simply shut us up? Oh, I still remember some of them, answers with which they would “say” something, without really saying anything! Here are some examples:

-        “Hmm.. interesting point. Let me put that into consideration.”

-        “Why do you want to know?”

-        “Let’s put that on the back burner.”

-        …..(just silence), pretending to be listening to us, while putting some pressure for us to try to answer ourselves and finally stop.

-        Simply a cartoon, one of Gregg’s favorite “answers” to emails, using his “charming sense of humor” to confuse us and deviate our attention. No words, no explanations, only this:

Did you ever get a valid and clear answer to something? Can you remember any other examples of how the Clarkes or Gregory Hake replied to your concerns or ideas?

How about: “Let me run it by Gregg” / or “by Jane”? That one was and is used left and right to keep control of things. In fact, I see those ex-friends who are still part of Energetix and OCR, so loyal to Gregg, so lost, who look so worn out and aged, that continue to run everything by their cult leaders, their gods. No empowerment, no questions asked, just stressful work and desperate attempts to gain some respect, and mainly money!

Those of you who are still Gregg Hake’s disciples are not going to get any answers from him, the Worsters or the Clarkes. Let me tell you, you won’t find any explanation in emails, but counter questions; you won’t find any answers in blogs full of “inspiring” quotes and words by famous people from the past. That copy-paste technique is just dodging.

At the end of the day, you will look back and ask YOURSELF, “Did I really do what I wanted to do in my life? Did I have my dream job where all of my efforts and strong work were worthy? Did I accomplish something really good for me and my family? Do I have any value?” Now, those are the questions that can be answered only by YOU.

“I can’t begin to describe this group. How they treated me, as they disected my family. Again, I would’nt know even where to start. It was the most difficult experience in my life. An experience that will never be forgotten. It has been well over a decade since I had to say goodbye to that place. But, for the record, I love my children (now young men) and have become good friends with my x wife, contrary to what they tried so hard to accomplish (being a “DOWNWARD SPIRAL”) I am still here………………..”

“Cult leaders brainwash you into thinking you can’t do it on your own. They tear you down even though in their minds they fully believe they’re building you up. Every word out of their mouth is a carefully calculated knife meant to slice away every last shred of self-esteem and confidence you have. The cult leader wants his or her followers to be totally dependent on them – and so does the narcissist.”  Sith Lords in the Real World by Deb Dorchak

Around three years have passed since many of us realized that we part of a huge emotional, spiritual and financial scam. I still see and talk to many cult veterans, and though we try to talk about the weather, our current lives, etc, we always end up talking about Grant and Jane Clarke, Gregg Hake and the MST scam.

For some of us, Gregg Hake was the person who inspired us and invited us to be part of that great promise, the promise to restore the earth to its natural state.  My family and I fell into his charm and intelligence.   In my almost daily conversations with ex-cult members, the question always comes: What the hell happened? Was Gregg always like that? Did Jane Clarke see the potential in Gregg, the potential to manipulate his heart and turn him in the cold-hearted, callous, inhuman guy he is now?

Jane Clarke is a master manipulator, we all have stories about her wicked spirit, how she manipulated couples to split, others to get together, etc., etc.

Here’s how I imagine the transformation of Gregg Hake happened.  Jane discovered Gregg’s greed and hunger for power, and slowly by surely she started to manipulate his spirit, offering the control of everything, offering the many that would allow him to have expensive cars, expensive trips and even an airplane.  Little by little, Gregg became Jane’s puppet, until he needed to do the ultimate sacrifice: marry Jane’s non-attractive, problematic, hypochondriac, immature niece.

Take a look at this video, isn’t this so similar to Gregg’s transformation?  Did Jane Clarke act as Lord Sith? Who knows, this is maybe a crazy way to explain what happened.

Before sharing the article, we want to extend our congratulations to Cult Help blog for the work they are doing in this field of spiritual abuse. Keep going Cult Help, you are an inspiration to many and another soldier in this battle to save people from abuse and manipulation and expose these toxic groups.

Here is the full text taken from Cult Help blog post on August 18, 2011

Is the Company You Work for (or With) Owned by a Cult?

Many cults own businesses and employ non-group members to fill jobs the group cannot fill from among its membership. This happens when the business outgrows the group’s available manpower or when skill sets not present among group members are needed.

And many organizations hire cult-owned vendor companies without knowing it. Are you working for, or with, a cult-owned company?

Non-group members, both those working for the cult-owned business and those who may have hired the cult-owned business as a vendor, are often aware something is odd about the ownership of the business, but rarely know the full extent of the situation or exactly whom among their co-workers or account representatives are members of the group.

While it is common to find non-group members working for a cult-owned business, it is extremely rare to find non-group members in upper management or sensitive positions such as accounting. Cultic groups are secretive, elitist, and distrustful of “outsiders,” whom they consider to be un-evolved.

There are two important reasons why you, as an employee or as a client, should know if the company you are working for (or with) is possibly owned by a cultic group:

You May Be Supporting a Form of Slavery

First, you should know if you your time, energy or budget may be going to support a group that uses thought-reform techniques and coercive persuasion to enslave it’s members, all of whom are required to work extremely long hours, endure enormous stress, and turn over all of their incomes to the group’s leader. Women in these groups are pressured to forego having children so that their capacity to work will not be hindered. In many cults, members are accumulating no assets, no retirement, and will have no resources when the group eventually collapses – all to chase the dream of a charismatic cult leader that will never materialize. The Little Rock cult, for example, believes it has been uniquely chosen to usher in the “new age” that will enlighten all mankind.

Glass Ceiling

Second, if you are an employee of a company owned by such a group, you should know that there is no real opportunity for advancement for you in the company. The ownership won’t tell its non-group member employees that a glass ceiling exists – beyond which non-members of the cult will never advance.

Here are some telltale signs to help you know if you are working for (or with) a cult-owned company:

• There is a persistent rumor mill on the subject of the company’s ownership
• Senior management rarely, if ever, changes or includes advancement from below
• Non-group members often find themselves “shadowed” by other employees on business trips or in client meetings, even when such shadowing is unnecessary or redundant
• The company’s name may have some tie to metaphysics, the occult, or similar
• There is an unusually large number of married couples and extended families working at the company
• Certain employees and couples almost always carpool and arrive/depart together
• The same group of employees is always complimentary of, or defensive of, management’s decisions
• A certain group of employees consistently work extremely long hours and weekends
• A culture of informing exists and management is evasive about how it learns about job performance issues among non-group members
• Your office mail may be opened before you receive it
• “Loaded language” often seeps into the lexicon of a particular group of employees, particularly management. Examples of loaded language include references to astrology, “energies,” “consciousness,” “attitudinal healing,” “karma,” “auras,” dream interpretation, etc.
• You may notice a certain group of employees, particularly management, wearing matching jewelry such as rings or pendants
• While such information will be a closely guarded secret, you may find that a large number of the company’s employees, particularly management, share the same home address

What Should You Do?

If you suspect that a company you work for (or with) may be owned by a cultic group, and that people you know and like may be enslaved to the group, please investigate. If you are an employee, BE CAREFUL because poking around publicly can get you fired.

Instead, reach out privately to organizations like The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Amnesty International, and your local Attorney General’s Office, Department of Labor, Governor’s Office, Representatives, and District Attorney’s office. These organizations monitor and regulate workplace abuse, human rights violations, and have responsibility to ensure the safety and protect the rights of their constituents.

If you are a client of a company you suspect may be owned by a cult, you have more options. You can reach out directly to employees of the company – especially those with whom you have developed a close relationship. You can tell them your concerns, and what has led to your concerns. Be aware they are likely to be evasive or in denial about their situation at first. Be patient. Show that you care for them as a friend and fellow human being, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Wow!, amazing huh?

Let’s go through some of the points above:

• Senior management never changes or include advancements from below

Do you know any manager (real manager, no paper ,amager) of Energetix, Anakiri, Spa on Green Street, The Body Sanctuary, One Company Resources that is not part of the Clarke or Hake family? All of them are also members of MST and IAO.

• Non-group members often find themselves “shadowed” by other employees on business trips or in client meetings, even when such shadowing is unnecessary or redundant
  

Who are the Senior Sales Reps in Energetix, any non-group member or only group members?

When Erich Worster, Gregg Hake and Claudia Reddick (all MST members), were in charge of Jurlique USA, who do you think were the Senior Sales Reps? All of them were MST members. BTW: very interesting details to share one day about Jurlique USA days under MST management.

• The company’s name may have some tie to metaphysics, the occult, or similar

Do you know that Anakiri is an aymara word that means, the one who leads?. Aymara is a sacred language in the Andes of Peru and Bolivia

We noticed Energetix is moving away from original logo, but you can Google it.

Do you know that Energetix logo (They are using a new one now and moving away from the original logo) represents the cross point of 2 planes, the invisible (heaven) and the visible (earth). The invisible represented by the vertical element and the visible represented by the horizontal element.

Another meaning of the logo is that higher level of vibration permeates the lower levels. Take a look at the e on the logo below, the “e” is formed by expanded water (ripple effect, water is the symbol of truth) once is penetrated by the horizontal (golden, gold represents power) vibration element coming from above.

How do I know this, I am a former member of this group and the Energetix founder shared this with me.

Why Energetix is moving away from this logo?

• There is an unusually large number of married couples and extended families working at the company

Read this post and you will see the connections between families, couples, boyfriends, girlfriends: http://whathappenedtodeerfield.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/i-am-confused-relantionships/

• A certain group of employees consistently work extremely long hours and weekends.

When I worked there, I saw the the CFO working 10 to 14 hours a day and every single weekend.

• While such information will be a closely guarded secret, you may find that a large number of the company’s employees, particularly management, share the same home address.

The group members live (all of them) just few miles away from work, some live within the property where office buildings are located.- Who do you think owns more than 12 properties where group members live or used to live?- Ask the address of all group members during 2000 to 2005.

As usual we can go on and on and on, but it is more than clear at this point what all of these is about.

If you have something else to share, please do it, we cannot pretend that nothing happened at Deerfield compound.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

This list can go forever, do you remember any other interesting details about these twisted relationships?  This looks like a big orgy, huh?!?

” I was scheduled to interview for a Bookkeeping position with Brenda this morning. When I drove in to the complex, I had an odd feeling that something was not right. Weird vibes would sum it up. I then was given an application that contained more intrusive, anti-labor, corporate protectionist verbiage that I had seen in my 30 years in the corporate world. I essentially handed the clipboard back to the receptionist there and advised her that I would not agree to any of the stipulations listed and summarily left. They appeared to have been shocked by my response. When I came home, I still had a creepy feeling and became curious and Googled the company and found this blog and am thankful that my intuition was right.“

Few days ago, I was able to talk to someone connected to Energetix and this person was extremely upset by the way Gregg Hake handled a business situation. Gregg was basically treating her as a MST member, wanting to have 100% control over the situation, benefit from the outcome and don’t pay a penny for the work that was done.

Same old, same old going on at Deerfield compound. We will continue exposing what happened inside of Deerfield compound and exposing the damage cause by Grant and Jane Clarke and Gregg Hake, after all: “Silence in the face of immorality is a kind of immorality”

On this beautiful Easter day I felt compelled to write this proposal to all my dear friends from MST with whom I have shared so much profound love. It has been several years of healing for us all. In my process of healing I keep coming back to the reason I got involved with MST, maybe it is the reason we all got involved. We love the spirit of true Love and love to share that love with everyone in our community. We inherently know that love, kindness, generosity and hospitality should be normal for all people. We recognize that the only thing that makes sense is to experience the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth right now among each other. This was why it was such a contradiction and caused us so much internal tension when we witnessed our leaders judging or mocking our friends or treating people with derision.

You may say I am naive, especially considering what happened, but I do see and feel the tragedy of what occurred, perhaps more than most. Even so, I still believe more in true love and the ultimate outcome of sharing in a heavenly experience together regardless of the shame, fear and greed that ultimately drove Grant Clarke, Jane Clarke and Gregg Hake to take everything we collectively worked so hard for to themselves and their immediate family alone.

My proposal is to collectively forgive everyone, including them, not just to free our hearts, but that is a good reason, but also to open a doorway for ourselves to experience what we came together for in the first place.

I am not saying we all get together and set up a community and teach classes and have services or anything like that. However; perhaps we could get together with nothing else on our minds or in our hearts but joy and love for the spirit of love and see what happens.

We don’t have to do it right now, but just be open to the possibility and if it is meant to be it will occur naturally and easily.

You might say how can I forgive them and if I can then what happened to you didn’t happen to me so I don’t have the same kind of pain. I have been reluctant to share my story because the pain of it was still too raw and I have children and didn’t want them to be hurt anymore than they already were, but if in sharing a bit of my story, I can help any of you then I will.

Love Heals

One of the characteristics of a cult is the Information Control, where spying on  other members is encouraged. One is encouraged to report deviant thoughts, feelings, and actions to leadership.

Those of us who were part of the cult and worked for One Company Resources, Energetix Corporation, Anakiri, Spa on Green Street and Body Sanctuary, Inc were  indoctrinated to “connect upwards” or communicate to our superiors what we were seeing. In other words we were not friends, we were spies, and as in any totalitarian society, we didn’t trust each other. 

Here is one example.  A letter sent to Gregg Hake reporting on certain events with Teryl .  You can draw your own conclusions:

Hi Gregg,

I know you are aware of the situation with the scheduling of the FTF (Fast Track to Fitness) program, but I don’t know if you are aware of some things that have been done in order to accommodate people and keep that class.

I heard M yesterday insisting to Teryl several times not to make any decision until it runs by you and Teryl insisting in going ahead and making that decision, because there is no other way.

These are some factors in the whole process of accommodation:

• One of the clients will have to skip one of the 8 classes. Teryl offered to work one on one with her so that she can replace the day she can’t make it. When all the policies were discussed about how this program was going to work, Teryl repeatedly said that if someone misses one class, they just miss it.  Now, because we are postponing the class, she mentioned to the client it is ok, she’ll work with her later.  Mew insisted that should run by you, Teryl said: if we don’t do that, then we don’t have enough people in the class and then we have to cancel it.

• Teryl e-mailed everybody that they are going to start on the 15^th and she mentioned to them that they are going to work out in the Group Exercise Room.  After realizing that there is still a Belly dancing class, she is going to put them in the gym. (There are only 3 people)

• We have like 9 people signed up and paid for Belly Dance I, starting on Thursday 24^th, only word of mouth people!  The class was meant to be from 5:15 – 6:15.  Due to the mistake in the scheduling with the FTF class, Teryl is going to call all of them and tell them that their new schedule will be starting at 5:30 to 6:30, 70% of those guests are new.  Their first impression, a change in their schedule.  What if some of them can’t make it until 6:30 and need to cancel? They have already paid for the whole series.

• The Saturday FTF classes were going to start this Saturday. With all this postponing and arrangements, it’s going to start next Saturday, so Teryl e-mailed the guests and told them that because it has been postponed, we are comping this Saturday’s class.

• M’s stance in all of this has been: “I’m so stressed with this situation.  I rather have Teryl fix all the mess than having to deal with Brenda and having to return money to the clients”.

Anyways, it’s been very intense, M is torn between communicating to you or staying quiet so that everything works for the best.  A lot of people involved in this, guests and teachers, staff.

Thanks
