Dave Mullins is a registered psychologist in Sydney who spent most of his 20s in The Gnostic Movement, an esoteric and occult spiritual school founded in Mexico in the 1950s where he was a leader. The “Masters” of the school (and its splinter groups) claim to be Christ-like figures and expect radical self-renunciation. After years of avoiding his past, Dave’s Aftercult podcast has been an ongoing journey towards understanding his own experience in the spiritual cult through interviews with former members of other cults.
