Talking and writing about my
experiences helped me to work out much of the emotional pain.
Listening to what others had gone through also helped a great deal.
But as I listened, I realized that my darkest fear had come true.
Rama had been getting progressively worse.
In the fall of 1985, weeks after I left the Centre, Rama disbanded
Lakshmi and encouraged roughly one hundred followers to move
from Boston to Los Angeles. He directed these disciples to donate
their time to his software company, Vishnu Systems.
In 1986, Rama moved from Boston to Seattle with about eight
men and three inner circle women: Laura, Cindy, and Anne.
Once they arrived in Seattle, Rama informed the three women that he
had asked them along specifically to satisfy his sexual appetite.
He told them that they were to be his "Geisha's." By then, he explained,
he needed to sleep with two or three women at a time; an individual,
he maintained, had too little "energy" to stimulate him.
He confessed to Anne that for most of his life something had been
hurting him, keeping him down. He told her that during a recent
trip to a family event, he saw that his aunt and uncle had been
using their psychic powers all along to make him deathly ill
and to try to kill him.
