In this unfiltered and provocative episode of Ascend or Die, Maha dives deep into a post he recently shared: “Are Humans Cultish?” What begins as a reflection on the loaded term “cult” unfolds into a wide-ranging exploration of how authority, conditioning, and ego shape our individual and collective realities. From the etymology of “cult” to school systems, family patterns, religion, and the military, Maha dissects how societal structures and repeated exposure to ideas often mimic cult-like dynamics—without us even realizing it.

Sivani asks powerful questions about free will, childhood programming, and parallel realities—sparking a conversation about how true conscious awareness requires us to wake up to the invisible forces that shape us.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning the systems around them and yearning to reclaim their inner authority.
