Jeff and Shaleia Ayan are convinced that they’re not running a cult. But former members of their online spiritual community say otherwise.
Together, the real-life couple oversee Twin Flames Universe, a program that preys on those who are struggling to find love in their lives and promises to pair them with their soulmate “created for you by God” through a series of classes on modern dating, self help and spiritualism. Per its official website, Twin Flames Universe offers its clients “the keys to liberation in love and life,” using Jeff and Shaleia’s own relationship as the role model. Within Twin Flames Universe is Twin Flame Ascension School (TFAS), an intensive (and costly) education plan where Jeff and Shaleia preach to their desperate, lovesick students.
