One of our greatest strengths is our ability to organize ourselves into groups and to work together sharing knowledge between us. However this can be a great weakness if we organize around the wrong principles. If we are seduced into being part of a cult then we allow ourselves to be controlled by the cult mind. There is actually little difference between a healthy community and a cult. The main difference is that good heathy communities are based on reality and cults are based on illusion. It is not enough to go through the motions of being a good person. You have to do more than just make your life count. It has to count for something good.
A Realist is on the Path of Knowledge. Cults are on The Path of Illusion. It becomes a life of simulation and it's the difference between fake and real. A realist stays on the Path of Knowledge by putting reality first and always questioning themselves because they realize the importance of the Sacred Principle of Self Scrutiny. A Realist seeks reality - cults fear reality because if you are in a cult and you make a commitment to pursue reality the way it really is - one of the first things you realize is that you are in fact in a cult and you are wasting your life when you could be out there doing something real. But in order to make this kind of revelation you must be willing to unplug yourself and do your own thinking and take responsibility for your choices. If you are emotionally dependent on the cult mind for your sense of community and self worth then you shall remain enslaved and blinded to the real world.
