Dancing with Those Who Care on the tip of a Wedge Blade 

1964-1986 

In 1986 I began to develop this artwork based on the Order's Iron Man symbol. 

I first began to develop this artwork - based on the art and symbol "Iron Man" created for the Order in the mid 60's - and prose when I was 22 and struggling to envision what the next part of my life might be like. 

Here are stories and artifacts from my first 23 years and the religious cult that my family joined when I was almost 4 and with which I lived with for the next 14 years. I am continuing to recover from this experience more than 35 years later. 

The modern meaning of “Cult” defines a social group that practices “unusual” religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or by its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. 

The Order was a combination of all of those elements, though it could also define most religions as well.
