The cults, the sects and the organizations of human potential looking for new converts are always.
To get them, they should also create a cerebral phase. And often they need to make it in a short lapse of time, one weekend, or perhaps even one day.
The following ones are the six primary techniques used to generate the conversion.
The encounter or meeting of training takes place in a place in which the participants are separated from the external world. It can be any place: a private house, a remote rural location, or even the room of dances of a hotel where you/they are only allowed a limited use of the bathroom to the participants. In the organizations of human potential, the controllers give a long chat about the importance of "to maintain the commitments" in the life.
To the participants they are said that if they don’t maintain their commitments, their life will never work well. It is a good idea to maintain the commitments, but the controllers subvert a positive human value for their own purposes. The participants are sworn themselves and their trainer that will maintain their commitments. Anyone that doesn’t make it is become intimate to make it or to abandon the meeting immediately. The following step is to commit to complete the training, assuring this way a high percentage of conversions for the organization. They GENERALLY have to commit to not taking drugs, to smoke, and sometimes not to eat… or they are given brief interruptions to eat that they increase the tension. The true reason for the commitment is to alter the internal chemistry that generates anxiety and with luck, he doesn’t make more than to unbalance the nervous system slightly, that that in turn increases the conversion possibilities.
Before it finishes the encounter, the commitments are used to assure that the new converts go outside and find new participants. They are forced to commit to it before leaving. As the importance of maintaining the commitments is so high in their priorities, the converts will press all their acquaintances, trying to speak to them about their attendance to a session introductory free that the organization will offer in the future. The new converts are zelotes. In fact, the internal sentence for promote the biggest and more successful organization of human potential is "that blindfolds it a zelote! " At least a million people are followers to these organizations and a good percentage of them they take a "button" of mental activation that assures their future loyalty if the guru or the organization call them. Think about the political implications of hundred of thousands of scheduled zelotes to make campaign in favor of their guru.
Be careful with an organization of this type that he/she offers pursuit sessions after the seminar. The pursuit sessions can be given weekly meetings in regular way that the organization tries to make him continue, or any used event to maintain the control. As the primitive Renaissance Christian they knew, the long term control depends on a good pursuit system.
Well. Now, let us take a look to the second point that indicates that they are using technical of conversion. An outline is used that causes physical and mental fatigue. This is made carrying out sessions of many hours during which the participants don’t have occasion of to relax you or to meditate in the first place.
Third step: techniques to increase the tension in the room and in the environment.
Fourth step: Uncertainty. Hours it could pass speaking about the diverse techniques to increase the tension and to generate uncertainty. Basically, the participants are worried by the possibility of being "plundered" for the organizers, and they put at stake feelings of guilt, the participants are urged by the organizers to relate their most intimate secrets verbally to other participants or forced to participate in activities that emphasize the "to take off the masks." One of the most effective organizations of "human potential" it forces the participants to stay of I tweeted in the stage in front of the whole audience while they are attacked verbally by the organizers. A public survey had carried out for some years revealed that the situation more feared in general it is the one of speaking in public. It is located above washing external glasses in the floor 85 of a building of offices. So they can imagine the one fear and the tension that this situation generates among the participants. Some faint, but others can support the stress leaving the place mentally. Literally they pass to state alpha, what makes them automatically much more suggestible of what you/they are usually. And another turn in the hairspring toward the conversion is completed.
The fifth indication that they are using technical of conversion it is the introduction of a jargon: new terms that only have meaning for "initiate" that participate. An incorrect language is sometimes used deliberately to make the participants to feel uncomfortable.
The point fifth are that there is not neither rake of humor in the conferences… at least until the participants have been converted. Then, the happiness and the humor are very desirable as symbol of the happiness that the participants are supposed that they have "opposing."
I am not saying that it is not any well of these meetings. It can happen and it happens. But I sustain that it is good that people know what has happened and that a continuous participation cannot be of its interest.
Through the years, I have directed professional seminars to teach to people to be hypnotists, trainers and consultants. Some of them have come closer to me and they have told me: "I am here because I know that that makes it works, but I don’t know why." After showing them how and why, many have left the business or they have decided to face it in a much more human and more affectionate way.
Many of those trainers have become for me personal friends, and to all it scares us the experienced book credit the power of a person with a microphone in the hand in a room full with people. Add some charisma and they can be sure of obtaining a high percentage of conversions. The sad reality is that a high percentage of people wants "to believe."
The cult meetings and those of companies of human potential are ideal places to observe first hand or that he calls himself technically the "Syndrome of Stockholm." This is a situation in the one that those that are intimidated, controlled or they suffer imposed sufferings, they begin to love, to admire and even in occasions to wish sexually to their controllers or kidnappers.
Allow me to introduce a warning word here: If you think that it can attend one of those meetings and not to be affected, drawer is mistaken. A perfect example is the case of a woman that fué to Haiti with a scholarship Guggenheim to study the Haitian Voodoo. In their report, he/she related as the music it induced an uncontrollable corporal movement and an altered state of the conscience finally. Although he/she understood the process and he/she thought that it was above it, when it began to feel vulnerable to the music, he/she tried to fight against it and it got it momentarily. The fear or the resistance almost always assure the conversion. Few moments later were possessed by the music and he/she began to dance in trance around the room of meeting voodoo. A cerebral base had been induced by the music and the excitement, and he/she woke up feeling born-again. The only hope of attending one of those meetings without being affected is to be a Buddha and not to be allowed negative neither positive emotions. Few people are capable of a certain indifference.
Before continuing ahead, let us see the six essential points of conversion again. I want to mention to the Government from the United States and the fields of training of the army. The body of you Marinate them speech of breaking the men before "to reconstruct them as new men: " like Marinate! " Well, that is exactly it they make, in the same way that the churches or sects break people and they reconstruct them as happy salespersons of flowers in the corners of the streets. Whereas clause the necessities of the army, I am not making juícios about if it is good or bad. It is A FACT that the men suffer a brain laundry indeed. Those that don’t undergo are said goodbye to or they pass great part of their time in the prison.
Decognicion process
Once the initial conversion has been made, the sects, armed services and similar groups cannot have doubts about their members. The members should respond to the orders and to act like they are said, otherwise they are dangerous for the control of the organization. This is gotten by means of the three stages of the decognición process.
The first step is THE REDUCTION OF THE ALERT: The controllers cause a bad operation of the nervous system, making difficult the distinction between fantasy and reality. This you can carry out in different ways. The POOR DIET belongs one to them; care with the cookies and the pills of glucose. The sugar ruins the nervous system. Subtler it is the SPIRITUAL DIET used by many sects. They eat solely vegetable and fruit; without the help of the vegetables, dry fruits, seeds, milky, fish and meat, the individual is mentally "slow." I DREAM INADEQUATE it is another primary form of reducing the alert, especially if he/she combines with long working hours or of intense physical activity. To be bombarded with intense and special experiences gets the same result.
The second step is THE SCHEDULED CONFUSION: The person is assaulted mentally while you/he/she is in state of reduced alert caused in the first step. It is gotten with a flood of new information, readings, discussions in group, encounters or sessions face to face in those that the controller usually bombards to the subject with questions. During this phase of the decognición, the reality and the illusion often mix and a perverse logic is easily accepted.
The third step is THE DETENTION OF THE THOUGHT: They are used technical that make that the mind stays "page." These are technical of "altered state of the conscience" that initially induce the calm giving to the mind something simple in that that to fix the attention. Maintaining it a lot of time a sensation of euphoria takes place and finally hallucinations. The result is the reduction of the thought and finally, if it lasts enough, the stop of all thought and the rejection of all and all that you/they are not the controller’s emanated guidelines. The conquest is then complete. It is important to point out that when the members or participants are instruídos to use the techniques of "stop of the thought", they are said that they will be benefitted to make it: they will be "better soldiers" or "they will find the light."
There are three basic techniques used to stop the thought. The first one is the MARCH: the rhythm tump, tump, tump believes car-hypnosis literally and therefore great susceptibility to the suggestion.
The second technique is the MEDITATION. If somebody dedicates an hour and a half every day to the meditation, after some few weeks there are many possibilities that it doesn’t return to the state conscientious beta. It can remain in state alpha therefore time like continue practicing the meditation. I am not saying that it is BAD, if he/she makes it for itself. It can be very beneficial. But it is a fact that is causing that their mind is "page." I have worked with people that practice the meditation whose Electroencephalographic is conclusive: the more somebody meditates, plane it is their mind until, finally and especially if it is used jointly with the decognicion or in excess, all thought disappears. Some religious groups come this as the Nirvana, but that is a foolishness. It is simply a predictable physiologic result. And if the sky in the earth is really not to think and not to make decisions, I believe that I owe questioning me for what reason we are here.
The third technique to stop the thought is to SING, and often, to sing in the meditation. "To speak in other languages" it can also be included in this category.
These three techniques produce an altered state of the conscience. This can be stupendous if ONESELF is controlling the process, because oneself also controls the influences that he receives extraneous. I, personally, use a scheduled session of up-to-date car-hypnosis at least and I know how beneficial it is for my. But one has to know that using those techniques until the end of remaining continually in state alpha, although one is very mature, he/she also makes him more suggestible.
True believers and movements of masses
Before finishing this section about the conversion, I want to speak about people that are more vulnerable to her and about the movements of masses. I am convinced that at least the population’s third is it that Eric Hoffer calls "true believers." They are followers… people that wants to give to other the power, to be convinced. They are looking for answers, sense to the things and an illumination that it proceeds extraneous of themselves.
Hoffer that wrote "The true believer", a classic in movements of masses, says "the true believers don’t seek to potentialize neither to improve his own one me, but rather they are wanting to get rid of a me non lover. They are followers, not because they want to advance themselves, but because that can satisfy their passion of giving up its me." Hoffer also says that the true believers "they are eternally incomplete and eternally insecure."
I know this through my own experience. In the years that I take communicating concepts and directing trainings, I have found this type of people an and another time. All that I can make is to show them that the only thing that should be looked for is our true one ME in our interior. Their personal answers must be there an and another time. I communicate them that the base of the spirituality is the car-responsibility and the car-improvement. But many of the true believers simply tell me that I am not spiritual and they will look for somebody that gives them the dogma and the structure that they want.
Never debit side to underestimate the potential danger that that people represent. They can be transformed easily into fanatics that die and kill loved by their sacred cause. He/she is a substitute of their faith lost in themselves and they offer to themselves as substitutes of the individual hope. Most Morals is construed with believing true. All the cults are made up of true believers. You can them to find in the politics, the church, the business and the groups that you/they work for a social cause. They are the fanatics of all those organizations.
The movements of masses have for general rule a charismatic leader. The followers want to convert others to their way of to live or to impose them a new way of life, when necessary making laws that force to the other ones to adopt their point of view, like it is evidenced in the activities of most Moral. This means to force with weapons or with punishments, in fact this it is the base that underlies in the legal duties.
The existence of a common enemy, a demon, is essential for the success of the movements of masses. The Renaissance Christian had Satan in person, but that was not enough: they have added the hidden thing, the thinkers of the New Era and, lastly, to all those that oppose you to their church mixture and politics, like it is evidenced in their political campaigns against all those that don’t agree with their opinions. In the revolutions, the demon is generally the established power or the aristocracy. Some companies of human potential are too clever to request their members that affiliate to them, being labeled to themselves in that way like sect, but, if we look attentively, we realize that the demon is all that that has not followed his training.
There are movements of masses without demons, but those never arrive to a lot. The True Believers are mentally unbalanced and insecure people, or people without hope or without friends. People that doesn’t look for allies to love, but if to hate or to be obsessed with a cause. And those that want a new life and a new order of things feel that the old ways should be eliminated before their new order can be built.
