Sean Prophet on Church Universal & Triumphant 1 of 5

Sean Prophet, son of The Summit Lighthouse/CUT founders Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, answers questions from Kathy Weber of KULR-TV (Billings, MT)

In this segment:

Who are you in the history of the Church Universal & Triumphant? Where do you fit in?

From what I've read, you don't consider it to be a healthy environment?

What sort of problems did you experience?

Looking back through your lens, did that experience destroy anyone's life or make anyone's life worse?

The current church leadership claims that they are thriving and growing, and they one day hope to be one of the world's major religions. What are your thoughts about that?

At some point, you realized that your mother was not channeling God. How did you get to that point?

I read your account of one of your last conversations with your mother. Did she ever admit to you in that conversation that these were figments of her imagination?

You mentioned in your writings that there were some really strict guidelines for people living at the Ranch. Can you talk about some of those for people who might not have heard about them?

Was that ironic, since part of the foundation of CUT was to break away from the traditional trappings of organized religion?

GodBeauty,

This is detailed in the article entitled "Happy Birthday Mom" on the Black Sun Journal site.

You are correct that since around 2000 she hasn't recognized her family. My sons are doing well, thank you for asking.

What does "GodBeauty" mean?

[BlackSunJournal]

Comment moderation is a given these days. Sorry, I know it's a pain for legitimate users.

[MishaVargas]

Could you clarify that a little? A given for you, or for everyone? Not one of my subscriptions uses comment moderation, and they have their share of nasty commenters. It's not that big of a deal.

I would think moderating comments would be a pain for YOU, aside from the inevitable suspicions that you abuse the system.

This is exacerbated a bit by YouTube not showing a public record of when, how often, (and perhaps who) a person like yourself chooses to censor.

Well, I'm happy to see you here.☮

MishaVargas, apparently you missed the drama here in the past few days. It's a given for anyone like myself who seems to attract religious trolls. One person can (and did) quickly post half a dozen abusive and content-free ad hominem attacks. I'll have an article about it in BSJ tomorrow where you'll be able to see the deletions. It's not censorship, since anyone is free to say whatever they want on their own blog page, or to make their own video response if they care to. Cheers.

Hmm... Sean, in your inteview you mention that your mom "confessed" to abusing her power. When did she say this to you, and in what context? I met your own son in 2003 when he was a teen. We met in the emergency room at a hospital near my mothers house which is near your house. He told me that his grandmother no longer recongized you. He seemed to love his parents very much, and he also loved his grandparents very much, though he did not seem to know very much about them. How is he doing?

As a child of a parent that joined in 1974 this I hated this church. I grew up around the Prophet kids and they were definately bowed to. My mother gave everything we had to that church and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and got nothing in return except some HOKEY teachings. I and every child I knew left when we were able to get free. I feel bad that some of them were so deeply restricted that when they got loose they exploded, and some did not survive it.

I saw my I Am Presence in 1974 on Long Beach, British Columbia. Spiritual experiences have been a part of my life. They are given by God. I remember meeting you in 1978 in Pasadena when I was serving on Staff. I designed the Guruma outfit for your Mother; which became available for members to buy in various colors.  Devotion and faith will help you find peace. "Live to Love Life" ~Gurudevi

I am an evangelical Christian, but I learned about CUT through my interested in nuclear war and bomb shelters. I agree that every American should have a bomb shelter, like they do in Switzerland, but it shouldn't be based on what religion you are.

I also agree that preparedness minded people need to watch out for doomsayer "prophets" that pander to their interests and deepest fears and through that control everything about their flock.

The Teachings of the Ascended Masters are super real and saved my live many, many years ago. The teachings are about free will and they are not for everybody. We need to respect everyone's spiritual path and we also need to respect those than don't have a spiritual path.

Respect to Free Will is my experience.

God Bless ECP and Lanelo.

[montsyblackmaddona]

God bless Elizabeth Clare Prophet!

[gerstners]

I suppose ECP's ability to do "dictations" for long periods contributed to her believability, for some people.

I wonder if she used a technology inserted in one or both ears that allowed the words to be fed to her.

[InvisibleNeedle]

Fascinating! Thanks you, Sean. Your commentaries on CUT and your sister's recent book are invaluable contributions to cult research. Looking forward to the documentary.

I'd like to know more about how CUT evolved through the I AM activity. Also, its political ambitions and more about what you have to say re: the nationalism/patriotism and conservative politics seemingly integral to CUT.

I love Elizabeth Clare Prophet and everything she has done. I am so grateful for her words. I entered these teaching when I was 11 now i am 44. I still practice and believe. These teaching have been a beacon of light for me everyday of my life. Saint Germain is real El Morya is real the violet flame works. Everytime I have had a problem or just wanted to rejoice the ascended master have reciprocated. And yes Lanello is an Ascenced Master. Sean i respect your opinion, and wish you well.
