Dear Friends and Members of the Public,
I am writing today to formally address the various allegations and accusations that have been levied against me by one disgruntled ex-partner and by weak and unsubstantiated yet numerous comments made without provocation or basis in fact.
Since the beginning of my work with ‘Spirit Science’ in 2011, I have been confronted with random social media comments that are without merit and bring an element of doubt to the sensitive nature of my work. Some of them are vicious and although unfounded, have sparked fierce reactions, including claims of forming a cult and, more disturbingly, being an abuser. It has been a long-awaited moment, both for myself and the many thousands of viewers who have encouraged me to take a stand, to respectfully address these claims head-on.
On the Accusation of Forming a Cult
The label of establishing a cult appears to stem from the substantial following I have garnered, as well as the fact that my views often extend beyond what is considered “mainstream.” I have always aimed to bridge extreme polarities—whether between science and religion, or liberal and conservative viewpoints—while honoring diverse perspectives. My work involves topics such as sacred geometry, energy healing, and metaphysics, alongside mainstream science and spirituality. My goal has always been to unify, to encourage dialogue, and to explore new ways of understanding who we are and our place in the universe.
Critics have called me a “pseudoscientist” and accused me of seeking personal gain, but I deny such accusations unequivocally. My mission has always been to empower others to question, explore, and arrive at their own conclusions freely. From the very start, I have asked my audience not to believe or disbelieve anything without first having their own experience. This is the opposite of cult behavior, which by its nature seeks to impose a belief system on others to gain power. I encourage everyone to find strength in their own convictions, to seek truth and love, and to elevate their understanding of life.
You will never find me telling anyone to believe what I believe, or that my way is the right way or only way. I will forever and always support each individual in finding their own truth, the light in their heart, and their own voice to live the way they want to live in harmony with themselves, society, and the planet.
On the Accusation of Abuse
The more severe accusation against me is that I am an abuser. Several years ago, an ex-partner of mine publicly accused me of abusing her. She coaxed me to reiterate a specific incident in a phone conversation and secretly recorded it and found an independent/controversial social media platform willing to publish the conversation. To address this directly, I want to provide clarity on what actually transpired.
After our breakup in 2012, my ex-partner and I had a conversation one year later where she expressed conflicted feelings about our first intimate encounter. She described that part of her wanted to move forward, while another part wasn’t ready.
Then, in 2017, she reached out again with a different story—this time claiming definitively that I had abused her.
During a long and difficult conversation, I tried to offer support, despite disagreeing with her new version of events. She asked me to walk through her story and agree to it as a way to help her heal and move on. I obliged with the intention of providing comfort, but I now recognize that this was mistaken trust. The conversation was recorded without my knowledge, and later a portion of it was published, and used to claim that I had “admitted abuse!”
Moving Forward
I live in constant devotion to helping humanity navigate and be enriched by the challenging happenings in these unprecedented times, recognizing our connectiveness and our collective need to raise the loving consciousness of all of us humans and indeed all of life.
However, for years now the un-substantiated allegations against me on the web have cried for me to step up and say my piece. There is very strong guidance that flows through me so naturally, and my work is a gift to humanity (not by me but through me) and my name must be cleared so that my credibility and reputation as a servant is restored.
I am grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from so many who have seen through these baseless accusations. I have remained silent however because I have come to realize that it is my duty as a devoted servant to speak from my heart and to offer my most sincere apology for any and all grieving to anyone I may have offended in my immediate circle and to the world.
May we have a wondrous new beginning of reverence, forgiveness, respect, and joy as we evolve our grand souls as one. So be it, indeed!
With deepest gratitude and love,
May God bless us all,
Jordan David River
