I finally left the latest SGI whatsapp group that I was added to. The leader messaged me to see if I was ok, and seemed to respect my decision.

We move on to talking about our careers, as we both work in the arts. It was a nice conversation, until I told her that I was still unpaid, which she responds to by saying that I clearly need to change my Karma, then.

Having read lots on reddit about the concept of Karma and victim blaming, until now it hadn't really struck me in such an obvious way the cognitive dissonance that SGI actively teaches.

But what she said me so angry, and I recognise that this is a very casual example compared to many accounts I've read.

My emotional reaction makes me wonder if I'm in the wrong?
