If it is counter productive to Mental, Emotional, Physical or Spiritual health, it is a problem. If it provides a service through Truth, Healing, and Love, it is not a problem. It is the goal of The World Against Cults to be a benefit to the greater good as a whole, by bringing together relative information, personal stories and points of view, to gain a better understanding of the big picture glo
bally. If you have been touched by a negative cult, it can be difficult to remain objective. Objectivity is the first thing these groups want you to abandon, whether or not you are inside or outside the organization. Objectivity resides within truth, but to know the truth, we must be willing to open our minds to other possibilities. This process is called: “Critical Thinking”. It is the learned ability to keep your mind open without jumping to conclusions, until you have enough information to make a judgment. It is otherwise known as the search for Truth. The search for Truth is often a painful one. Truth can only be obtained by the individual. It can not be lent by proxy, nor can it be transferred. You must find it for yourself. No one can tell you what to think or how to feel, There is no set way of doing things; there is no right or wrong way to seek the truth. You just need the willingness to find it. Anyone who says otherwise is entrapped within the cult mind. We all have the desire to be liked, admired and loved. We all experience doubt and fear. What we do with them is our choice. Too often, people let fear dominate their choices and they become bent on control. Control over others is the delusional belief that by doing so, danger is eliminated. It is in fact what creates the real secondary danger. Life is hard enough as it is without people making things more difficult. Wanting acceptance, admiration and love is a natural and healthy part of life on this planet. Wanting it so badly that we are willing to give up on finding the truth, leads inevitably to control and subjugation. Cults are essentially covert criminal groups who use anything they can to separate you from your money, personal power, energy and connection to truth. They will use coercive means such as bizarre Mental Games, Spiritual Abuse techniques using natural principals, social isolation, out right lies and the wearing down of the body through malnourishment and needless works... all the while promising the very truth they deny even themselves. Narcissists are predisposed cult leaders. They admire the deluded self-image they have created for themselves and expect everyone else to comply to their sense of inflated worth. If others do not, they are devalued, abandoned or otherwise attacked. They do not care about you... only what they can get from you. During the later part of the 1960’s and throughout the 1970’s, North America experienced a cult infusion never before seen in the West. Transcendental Meditation was brought to the youth of America by means of the Beatles acceptance and blind devotion to Maharishi. Another; Rajneesh, almost destroyed America with President Nixon presiding as Emperor. Cults spring up everywhere there is a vacuum and America was no exception., but there have always been cults in this world. As long as humanity has free will there will always be. It is up to us how much power we wish give them. It is in our nature to give to others, but to whom or what do we give to? That is the question. We either give to evil or we give to love. Sitting on the fence is really giving into evil, through indecision and inaction. The rest is in the searching. Cult thinking or selfishness, is rampant in society. The idea that Material possessions, status, and money are more important than the well-being of others, animals and the environment, is the tell tale sign of how far these cults have reached into the global psyche. Dating web sites, popular on the internet, are the preeminent measuring stick by which to divulge the state of social cohesion. The level of confusion and distrust found there on an ongoing basis, can be a reflection of cult thought as it is amassed and blended together to form a gray soup of collective conciseness. "The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience." - spoken by Atticus Finch, by Harper Lee. The personal search for truth is a constant and should never be left complacent. Once you have learned the truth do not be fooled to think that you have finally learned it all. Take another step back and look at the even larger picture and then take another step back and another and another… etc… etc. Never lose sight of the horizon as you move toward it. If God exists, you will not find him in any organization. You will find him when you are quiet and listening to your feelings. Luke 17:21 No one will say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!'; because the Kingdom of God is within you." –Good News Bible
