<p>Yes, in the beginning they tend to upgrade & empower their clients with truthful information and exercises for a while, until they put their clients in stage 2, where the clients are conned with manipulations, sexual disinfo, deprogramming disasters and taking money, until it is almost to late for them to get out of the sh*t. People who have survived or surpassed the mixed sh*t (good/bad/ugly) of Expansions are invited to tell their stories here. I am always curious.</p>

<p>Well, when I consider your words I notice that the Swerdlows play on a weakness of any human being on the planet. Since birth we make negative experiences - parents who refuse to give into our demands, in some cases worse, lovers who break our hearts, bosses or teachers who are tough on us, etc. It grows our spirit, makes us whom we are. Many chose to ignore the memory from these experiences and simply move on. Others remember specific memories which have hurt too much to forget. We all have our garbage, but it is part of life. It has been part of human society ever since humans interacted with another. This is not a new phenomenon.</p>
<p>The Swerdlows exploit this by telling you that you have been abused, in fact that all these experiences were designed specifically to mess you up! They even have the nerve to charge you US$ 600 for a 2hr consultation to tell you that. I am not saying that these rituals do not exist, but it remains suspicious that all Expansions clients are abuse victims.</p>
<p>Same can be said about their news analysis. Of course conspiracy theories are interesting. The bottom line though is, what you see printed in the press, or displayed on the news is the status quo that the world lives by. It is indeed interesting to know that behind the scenes things work differently, but it doesn't affect your life. And notice that Stewart only gives a one dimensional analysis of the news...</p>
<p>Part of the problem is that we don't know why things happen. Most of them just do due to destiny. They are part of life and we all share similar experiences. Philosophers have written enough books to fill libraries and still cannot explain why things happen. Religion seeks to give a reason and still leaves room for doubt. We just don't know what destiny is and why it exists. But we can experience it. Sects and cults fill this gap by giving an easy explanation. The standard reply of Expansions is mind-programming and sexual ritual abuse, to explain your status quo. They then give you a solution to modify the status quo. Only problem with that, which most realize eventually, is that you cannot cure a problem which does not exist. And, while you waste all that time and energy doing that, you abandon what you should be doing above all: live your life to your fullest potential.</p>
<p>It is our own weaknesses that lead us to be mislead by people like the Swerdlows. There is no remedy to life though - it is what it is. We can certainly smooth the edges by living in a balanced and serene way. By deciding what we want from life and then getting it.</p>
<p>Once in a while though, when the past experience hurt too much, a catharsis can work wonders! It only takes as little as a week, and costs nothing. In view of that, why even bother to paying attention to the Swerdlows? Yes, why indeed...</p>
