Thank you for this Matthew, abuse is simply abuse, *and not benefit, and indeed, not medicine.* I hope we can all begin to see, so many friends are cult-ure trapped in this system. The de-constuction/ de-conversion process is complex, rough and it's going to take us, even me, years. The first step is to allow us to think critically, we were told not to for so long. In Dzongzar's last talk in Halifax, he mentioned hell/vajra hell within the first 5 minutes, its subtle, but it's a rethwarting of fear, submission, power, control and outright mind-effery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaXASFZc2Kw
