Hello world. The following was written 8/14/2014.
What is a cult? How do you know if you are being sucked into a cult? Is it the constant pressure coming from all sides to join in more fully? Is it the implied meanings and separations they keep pushing? Is it the constant hounding I see being used on my Husband, when I refuse to jump in with both feet? Is it the manipulations of my spouse to force me to comply? Is it the judgmental labels and diatribes telling my Husband he needs to kick me to the curb because I refuse to drink the koolaide without asking any questions? Yeah this is were I am at this morning. These are the impressions I am being given on a daily bases from the want to be teachers, gurus and groups out there.
None of them want open minded free thinkers around them. What they want are followers. They want people to blindly follow and believe they know the way to Heaven. Stating all one must do is follow them and they will show them the way. What they want is power and control. They propagate the egoistic hierarchy they have been taught is the way.
How do you know it is a cult? When every single one of them demand you conform to what they have chosen to be and believe without questioning. When you are told you do not have a choice nor get a choice in who you would be or what it is you want to do. At every turn you are told what you are allowed to think, say and do in any given moment. You are faced with a cult when you recognize, THEY want your willing slavery.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
