The Source From Within


Many interviews exist of former members of the source family.  These interviews are after the fact, but allow us to gain insight on how they view/viewed the commune many years later.  These interviews are in the documentaries and magazine articles.  Isis Aquarius is also willing to be interviewed if asked.  I looked at an Interview with two of the Source Family members Isis and Electricity.  When talking about people with a negative outlook on the commune, the interviewees expressed that it was a different time.  It is easy to cast the past in a negative light, because looking back you could contort memories to bad experiences.  Isis compares living on the commune to living in their own reality, where everything was different.  When the former members tried to go back to the earths reality they couldn’t adjust the ideas and thinking they learned from Father Yod.  So, the commune became a negative in their life.  This was different per person as may former members viewed it as some of the best times of their life.  When asked what they learned from the whole experience, they both said they still incorporate Father’s teachings into their daily life.  The commune wasn’t just a period in their life, it was an experience which would change them and allow them to grow to this day.
