Alene

I was a proud, self-sufficient woman who had a baby at 16, survived two divorces, practiced Islam for seven years, then Santeria and Hinduism — trying everything to protect myself and find love, but I was just not alive.

Yesupadas

I was an Untouchable boy treated worse than an animal, a committed communist who made a blood covenant to bring revolution to India. I was drinking, in gangs, cutting people, saw dead bodies — and I was happy doing it because I thought I was taking revenge.

Bree

I was a deeply spiritual person — a pranic healer, yoga teacher, channeler, astral traveler — who genuinely loved God and thought I was serving him. I'd been in the New Age for 20 years and thought I had evolved beyond dogmatic Christianity.

Michaela

I was a witch, a yoga teacher, a stripper, and a shaman leading people on psychedelic trips. I called myself mindful Michaela. I was blaspheming Jesus on YouTube and filling every void with drugs, sex, and money — and I still felt completely alone.

Smury

I was a lawyer, very confident, very feminist, very dominating. I went through Hinduism, Sikism, Buddhism, and new age. I was deep into manifestation, chakras, third eye, soul ties — and I was attracting demonic. I thought my third eye was opening but I was demonically spiritual, not godly spiritual.

Mike

I was a rock musician who nearly died of an overdose, then dropped out of college to search for God. I became a yoga guru with 300 students, teaching 14 hours a day, running an ashram, totally committed to the idea that all religions lead to the same ultimate reality.

Sarah

I was a devoted Buddhist raised in strict Buddhism, then turned to Hinduism and witchcraft, praying to many gods across Thailand, India, and Switzerland. I was self-focused, doing everything for myself. I was always searching — from childhood I knew something was missing — but I couldn't find the answer.

AZ

I was a drifter, a wanderer — lost and disillusioned my whole life, hiding behind gym and eastern mysticism, trying to transcend the physical realm and escape suffering. I had complex PTSD, multiple suicide attempts, and a psychiatrist told me I had no options left.
