This article interviewed one of the Source Family members Isis Aquarian. She loved everything about Father Yod and the Source Family. The spiritual and knowledgeable assistance that Father Yod passed down to Isis and all the other members was life changing for all of them.  "Had you been wanting to walk out on everything? No. What I had been searching for was some type of spiritual path. I tried Buddhism; I tried different things. I did have a longing for something—there was just something that wasn’t fulfilled within me, but I didn’t know what it was (Fader)." 
      All of the members were very spiritual when it came to the practices. Everyone who was there, wanted to be there. They all partook in the morning rituals and believed heavily in their "commandments" or rules. Father Yod was a beacon of hope for all of them and it inspired them to be one with the father and he was with them. They relied so heavily on him for guidance, that when he passed, the commune could only sustain itself for a short period of time before the group members just started to disband and go back to their lives before the commune. 
      Their lives did change a bit when outside the commune. But not in a negative way. They carried on their regular lives but still lived with Father Yods mannerisms. "We were put back into a world that we thought we were never going to have to go back to in a way that we never thought we were going to have to do. We thought we were going to live together the rest of our lives and have that life. I think these last 40 years we’ve just all been processing our own path, and we’re still trying to figure out how we want it. (Fader)"
