The story of how one woman left an apocalyptic sex cult and became a top lawyer. Here’s what happened when she applied the rules of legal contracts to her own life.
By age 23, I was no longer able to take the constant control and surveillance, and, spurred by a burning desire for, I left the cult to attend college. I’d received almost no formal schooling growing up, but I’d taken high school classes through a self-taught correspondence course to earn a GED equivalent.
Then, one day, at age 41, flying home from a business workshop, the spark of an idea that had been circling in my brain for weeks coalesced into logical simplicity. Excited, I placed a sheet of paper on the small, grey airline table and drew the first circle.” Human consciousness is the first thing that we can be certain of. This first sphere, at the center of it all, I labeled Aware.Faith Jones, used with permission.
However, the body is unique. Unlike with other types of “property,” such as inanimate objects, we can never give up our fundamental right of ownership of our body so long as we are alive and our consciousness is connected to it. We cannot be separated from it, except by death. I drew a third circle around the smaller two that I titled Creations. Logically, if I own a fruit tree, I also own the fruit it produces. If I own my body, I also own everything my body and mind creates: my services, inventions, art, products, and even my reputation. In the law, violations of this right are theft. Slander is the violation of our reputation through lies. Copyright or patent infringement is stealing our ideas.
