“Nobody joins a cult. You join a self-help group, a religious movement, a political organization. They change so gradually,
by the time you realize you’re entrapped – and almost everybody does – you can’t figure a safe way back out.”
(Deborah Layton, who was involved in — and escaped from — Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple cult)
A very warm welcome to Avatar Uncovered. Run by ex-Avatar Masters, we are a platform dedicated to investigating and exposing the inner workings of the Avatar Course, the Stars Edge Network, the Advanced Intern Program and Stars Edge International.
The information, education and support we provide on this website is suitable for ex-members, Avatar Masters who are questioning, potential students who are considering the Avatar Course / Avatar Path, public awareness, journalists, law enforcement, helping professionals, and concerned friends, family and loved ones.
We strongly believe that our investigation, and information shared on this site is absolutely critical and that this type of in-depth study and exposure is in the public interest. We aim to provide an alternative view of Avatar than what is merely shared in their glossy marketing materials and current perspectives of Avatar Masters, which we believe to be deceptive, fake and not based on the truth.
Our Perspective
Referred to as Scientology Lite, it is clear to see that over the years many people have been severely damaged from their involvement.
Violations
Discover the vast range of violations experienced over the decades, inc. financial ruin, psychological abuse, hospitalisations and family breakdown.
Cult Assessment
We have carried out a detailed assessment against a variety of well respected models, inc. the Bite Model, Singers 6 Conditions and Liftons 8 Conditions.
The Path
There is more to Avatar than a 9-day personal development course – so what does the Avatar Path really look like?
History
What are the true origins of the Avatar Course? What is the factual background to the Founders? What happened in Elmira?
Education
The best way to stay clear of cults and high demand/high control groups is to educate yourself and learn their tactics.
WHAT IS A CULT?
This short video provides an excellent overview on what we mean when we say “cult,” and provides an accurate, eye-opening look at what they look like and how they operate.
You may find similarities between the workings of cults as identified within this video and the Avatar Course / Stars Edge Network.
