How do patterns of manipulation take root and hold sway, even within seemingly spiritual and empowering mentorships?
In this eighth episode of the Bewitched series, we welcome Louisa Havers, a long-time associate and former teacher within Betty's Akashic Records community. Louisa offers a unique and deeply insightful perspective on the evolution of her relationship with Betty, revealing the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which patterns of manipulation emerged and the ultimate impact on her and others .
Louisa shares what initially drew her to Betty – a strong intuitive pull towards learning the Akashic Records. She recounts her early experiences, including a shocking and unfounded personal reading that, while not resonating with her, established Betty as someone with seemingly profound and unquestionable insight.
As Louisa's involvement deepened, she began to witness troubling patterns: Unethical behavior in group settings, the use of spiritual concepts to justify harsh and exclusionary actions, experiences of feeling compelled to engage in programs despite inner reservations, among others.
Louisa shares a significant shift in Betty's demeanor and focus around 2020, marked by an intense preoccupation with conspiracy theories and a paranoia that permeated her teachings.
