This reminds me of what Carl Jung thought about addiction; my substitutions are (in parenthesis) '...I asked Yi, "Something is definitely wrong here, what is wrong with these people?" 7.3
I suppose that's one way of looking at it. There's a woman near where I live who 'channels' a 'being' named Ramtha. She claims he is a Lemurian warrior who fought the Atlanteans over 35,000 years ago (so he pre-dates the Yijing by 33,000 years or so!). I gather that some people think he imparts great wisdom - and he's certainly imparted great wealth for the woman who channels him.I always figured if you want to talk to the dead - aim high.
Maybe the core problem comes from following any earthly leader instead of our own inner guidance.
How do you determine who is a member of a cult anyway?
I read through them and noticed all of the signs of a cult, including subtle insinuations of how to deal with people who are not in the cult.

Looking back at my own life, this seems like a more accurate description of how I felt when I was following a popular guru in my mix-up teens: his group and his followers seemed to offer a lot of what a cult or even a gang offers - not the least of which is a sense of belonging.
Hi Moss, to add to the thread:..all of the signs of a cult, ..
I asked Yi, "Something is definitely wrong here, what is wrong with these people?"
I don't think that the 'Law of Attraction' belief is really a cult, but it is likey that some people can take these ideas and incorporate them into their cult-like beliefs and actions.... they casually dabbled with a Law of Attraction cult .... They sent me some emails of (a being) 'Abraham' talking. I read through them and noticed all of the signs of a cult ...
I don't know. According to your friend's advice from Abraham (albeit made-up) - which is strikingly similar to 7.3 - that's exactly what you are doing. Does thou protest too much?Just to point out a few obvious differences with Yi:
No belief is required. No subservience is required. No mind control occurs. No one is milking my wallet. No one is pressuring me into sex.
....etc

If you have no need to learn from anyone else, about God or spirituality or anything else that is up to you Moss Elk.
Pardon me?
I would suggest the route of nonengagement with me, As I have given you the same courtesy, and will continue so after this post.
Your display is both profoundly presumptive and ignorant.
If you don't understand why,
ask someone to explain it to you.
Totally agree, so well said.We are all born with the instinct to follow adults. I believe part of maturity is when we cease to follow others and, like you said,
become our own leader. So, in effect, cults take advantage of immaturity, and continue to stunt the developmental growth of the person. I consider that a great crime.
"Make America Great Again" - an example of being stuck in the past!
But now in the eyes of some people, you don't have right a right to make a living and put food on your family's table unless you hate the person their political party hates. They will drive you into poverty, take your job, your business, your home, your children's future and education and your retirement unless you hate as they hate.
That is bigotry and that is evil.
Dude, the point being religion does not force anyone - for example you - to believe in what you do not.
Unhinged, complete and utter nonsense divorced from reality.
None of that is occuring, no one on this forum ever implied anything remotely like that.
A boycott of any company is in fact the most peaceful way to exercise ones freedom and effect change.
(Remember coca cola and apartheid?)
No company has the right to anyone's money.
A boycott is niether bigotry or evil.
Even as you advocate for and make excuses for apartheid right here in America
UM, that didn't happen.
You are insane.
