					<description><![CDATA[We need to tell ourselves that it&#8217;s okay to walk away. We are not going to fail. We are not going to collapse. We are going to be okay. When someone is treating you badly, manipulating you, making you feel less-than, they rely on a prevailing and toxic narrative that there will be dire consequences &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2017/10/23/walking-away-from-the-bad/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Walking away from the bad."</span></a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#8220;No one imagines themselves as so fragile to ever let something as sinister as a cult take control of their minds. I didn’t think anyone would ever tell me how to think and when to think it.

					<description><![CDATA[I just watched The Source Family, a recent film that depicts the brief life of the cult of the same name, led by James Baker, aka Father Yod, aka YaHoWha. The film labels itself a documentary, but is less so than it is a compilation of old footage and interviews with past members who, to &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2014/07/19/what-i-got-from-watching-the-source-family/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "What I got from watching The Source Family"</span></a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For anyone unaware (is there anyone?), Kundalini Yoga and 3HO Sikh Dharma are inextricably linked. There is no historical, ideological, or anthropological connection–what-so-ever–between the religion of Sikhism and Kundalini, aka Tantra. Yet this link has nevertheless found its way into the common vernacular among many people in the west with little epistemological discourse.

					<description><![CDATA[For a large portion of my life I managed to satirize my experiences in boarding school in India. In social situations with my &#8220;Indiakid&#8221; peers, I can keep up with the laughing and mockery and the absurd story-telling&#8230; which is usually how most social situations wound up. But then a silence will fill the room &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2010/11/22/trauma-at-boarding-school-and-before/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Trauma at boarding school and before"</span></a></p>]]></description>
