Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I loved it. It is so accurate to the way life is within Sukyo Mahikari. I recommend this to anyone who is thinking of joining Sukyo Mahikari or has already joined... Oh, and to all you Kumite who keep reporting my reviews because you can't stand the truth...nick off! Check out my blog about Mahikari and my experiences... http://tangledsukyomahikari.blogspot.com/

Great Book, Insightful, and Accurate

As a former member of Sukyo Mahikari, I found this book to be very insightful. I was a Mahikari baby, born and bred in Mahikari...it took me a long time to break the mind control of this cult, and even now I am grappling with the left over damage; this book strongly reinforced what I already knew about Mahikari, but it also pointed out new paralells that I had not yet seen. Very helpful as far as aiding the healing process. I recommend this book to all former members as well as current members...not that current members would read it...that would be an indication of a spirit disturbance. To the above reviewer...this book is accurate and truly does depict the subtle mind control tactics used within this cult. Obviously you are still involved in Mahikari and not yet ready to accept the falacies in their practices and beliefs...it's alright though, it is only a matter of time. You can expect to see a post about your comment on my blog. Check it out: http://revealed1001.blogspot.com/ -Ash Kennedy
