I wanted to share some of my initial experiences at Expansions which goes back to 2001 when I purchased all of their VHS seminar tapes and also became certified in level 1 Hyperspace techniques.
In mid 2003 I received a call from a Ryan Elliot who asked me if I wanted to be a CAN TV producer in Chicago which I hesitated but he then said that it was SS who asked. He also stressed that it would be a way of publicizing the Expansions information and/or interviews on cable television in Chicago. I initially hesitated but agreed and took the necessary classes and was certified to use the CAN TV studios in Chicago to broadcast SS interviews. In the meantime, Ryan Elliott thought I wanted to take over his job, since he was already doing all of the video production and dvd work for Expansions. He apparently was also a Monarch who was originally from St Joseph, MI and was founder of the "The Light Heart Center" in Winfield, Illinois where SS filmed a seminar in the Chicago area.
Ryan gave SJ an ultimatum that they would have to choose between him or me and their non-response left me to be one of the next producers along with Celeste. At that point Ryan withheld all of their seminar master tapes and wanted compensation because of the potential revenue that he would have lost. However, I had already converted all of the original VHS tapes that I purchased from them into DVD format. Basically, I reconstituted the majority of their seminars from the original VHS copies that I purchased and without the Ryan master tapes. Eventually, Ryan left the original master tapes on their front lawn and still expected payment from them which never came.
I posted all of the CAN TV interviews on You Tube which included Cliff's interview which I finally withdrew as SJ wanted me to convert all of the 56 shows in an album set which I created and was sold. In this process, I volunteered to do all the production work without any pay except for cost of materials and mailing. I did it all of the duplication work from my home and even mailed out the orders as well. Eventually, Tania and Dr Yu joined the Expansion's fold and at that point JS told me that there will be major changes and that I had to reformat all of the current dvd sets from 4 hours per dvd to 1 hour per dvd in order to increase the price of the seminars as was suggested by Tania. I said that this is a major project and that I declined to do. I eventually returned all of their dvd sets and duplication equipment and left Expansion's. I feel disappointed that I allowed myself to be controlled by falling for their tantalizing, cutting edge, "out of this world" information that never materialized in their predictions and prophecies. It was a valuable learning experience for me in a cult which I hope others will consider not joining as I experienced.
