"Cult Think" and Mind Control

 

 

Anything that tears you down is a cult. Anything that genuinely builds you up is just the opposite. Addictive thinking is also Cult thinking because it is not self-sustaining; it is deluded and self-destructive. In such a situation you are your own Cult leader. Check out the article I wrote about "Dry Drunks." Usually a Cult is thought of as an organization, but do not forget that a family unit is an organization. A father can be an abusive Cult leader, so can a mother. A group or organization can be a Cult. A government can also be a Cult. For Cults to work they have to confuse these simple definitions. A Cult has to keep you in the dark. This can be done with many techniques and methods. As you read below you will learn how to protect yourself from "Cult Think."

 

The right ends are undermined by the wrong means

 

Jones was a very effective politician, but like our politicians today, he believed that the "end justifies the means." Jonestown shows us where this is headed in the bigger picture. The methods used in our society by our government and politicians will result in our overall destruction unless we wake up soon. The wrong means destroys the right ends! Using the wrong means is not a sustainable strategy.
