FURTHER CONTEXT
Unethical mind control
“Loyalty and devotion are the most highly respected emotions of all. Members are not allowed to feel or express negative emotions, except toward outsiders. They are taught never to feel for themselves or their own needs, but always to think of the group and never to complain. They are never to criticize a leader, but to criticize themselves instead”
Behavior Control
Behavior control is the regulation of an individual’s physical reality. It includes the control of their environment-where they live, what clothes they wear, what food they eat, how much sleep they get, and what jobs, rituals, and other actions they perform.
Information Control
Deception is the biggest tool of information control, because it robs people of the ability to make informed decisions. outright lying, withholding information, and distorting information all become essential strategies, especially when recruiting new members.
Thought Control
Indoctrinating members so thoroughly that they internalize the group doctrine, incorporate a new language system, and use thought-stopping techniques to keep their mind “centered.” In order to be a good member, a person must learn to manipulate their own thought processes.
Emotional Control
You either feel wonderful as a “chosen” member of the elite, someone really special and loved and part of a wonderful movement; or you are broken, unspiritual, have bad karma, are guilty of overts, are sinful and need to repent, try harder and become a better, more devoted member. Guilt and fear figure mightily.
