Are we a cult?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Guest guest

A certain gentleman has been disappointed with the KAS1 and myself

in particular. He indicated to me his desire to leave the group. So

that has been arranged. He implies that I am a cult leader and that

this group is becoming a cult.

 

He offered these url's to help us understand how we are becoming a

cult or to help us understand the ways one becomes sucked into one.

He is upset at me for posting part of a private e-mail he sent to me

to the group and has remonstrated me for that, for which I take full

responsibility. My apologies to him if he has felt disinfranchised

by that.

 

Even though his name was not mentioned. Believe it or not I do try

to protect people's privacy. I wanted to show the group that indeed

not all cater to my point of view and not all are supportive of it.

So if anyone else is also having doubts here are some of those

helpful urls. Feel free to lambaste me in public or private as the

mood strikes. I take responsibility and do try to learn from my

mistakes.

 

**Be advised that I may post part of a persons e-mail to me without

mentioning their name or pointing a finger towards the author in an

attempt to learn and help others learn from my or any other

mistakes.**

 

Here are the helpful url's.

 

" This group clearly has many characteristics of a cult " (eg see

www.rickross.com website). For a brief example:

 

http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-cult_q0.html lists (1.

The " guru " is always right; 2. " You " are always wrong; 3.…).

 

Also see http://surrealist.org/betrayalofthespirit/cult.html and

http://www.prem-rawat-talk.org/forum/uploads/CultCharacteristics.htm.

 

 

 

We all know that many people have multiple email accounts and

multiple newsgroup memberships (and the newsgroup host monitors

activity).

ROTFLMAO! I mean no disrespect, but as I read those links I was

laughing out loud. This information actually PROVES your case,

rather than discrediting you. You are none of the things listed, we

don't have drones here, we are encouraged to think for ourselves and

follow our inner guidance, you constantly tell us how you are just a

fellow traveller and nobody special. Geez, I could go on all night.

Anyone who reads through that info with an open mind and heart will

see that this is most definately NOT a cult, but in fact so far the

opposite that it is astounding.

 

Many thanks to whomever provided those links! ;-)

I am surprised that the gentleman would think it was a cult. If we

heap praise on Chrism, it is because many of us have had

difficulties with KA, and he has helped us to find a way to make our

spiritual path easier. I for one would never belong to a cult.

The word Cultus means " care " and " adoration " .

The big difference with us is that most cults give their minds to

their leader and do what he says without question. We question all

the time and have minds of our own.

People who join cults cannot think for themselves. It would be an

insult to think that was us.

HaHa good play on words.... :)

I think that the fact that we all praise all the time gives

the gentleman in question the wrong idea. We are just grateful for

the help we have been given here.

I for one wouldnt have a clue what to do had I not found the group.

With my terrible problems with my back and kidney re the K

activation. Imagine going to my GP and asking him for advice! :)

It isn't worth fretting or getting upset over. Every so often things

like this will crop up and everyone is entitled to their opinion. If

we allow any negative feelings to come from it, that just serves to

lower the vibration of our family. We need to stay positive and send

love to all, whether or not we agree with them.

Uhm ... is that a Canadian Kundalini Money Cult? (laugh) ... when do we get the

The word " cult " is really badly abused, maybe if we understand it a bit better,

we can take the sting out of the word?

 

According to Merriam Webster ... a cult is:

 

1: formal religious veneration : worship

2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents

3: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents

4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator

<health cults>

5 a: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or

book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b:

the object of such devotion c: a usually small group of people characterized by

such devotion

 

By that definition any group of people who share a common interest is by

definition a " cult " . The question is really is it a positive cult or a negative

one?

 

I do a lot of work with a personal growth group and they occasionally get hit

with what I call " the 'C' word " ... in every case by a friend, relative or loved

one who is afraid of the positive changes a person makes in the class. I say

that the job of a negative or toxic cult is to create followers. That class has

made its purpose to create leaders. What I like about this group is it seems to

be about creating leaders. I don't see doing anything that would qualify

him as a toxic cult leader, quite the contrary.

 

I was raised in what amounts to a toxic cult. It was considered " mainstream " ,

but it had all the criteria going to qualify as a toxic cult. Many churches do,

and it is not fair that they try to make themselves immune to such accusations,

since as much abuse occurs there as it does anywhere else. Believe me, I am

highly sensitive to anything that truly smacks of a toxic cult, and so far I

have seen ZERO sign of that here.

I did start to laugh, but then I had to shake my head, because someone

thinks

negatively about us. I would walk off this group if I even had the

tiniest thought

this was a cult. Everyone has a vice, everyone has their own beliefs.

We're a Kundalini

family here, full of advise and friendship. We only offer a helping hand

when asked.

The door is always open and we choose if we come or go, no pressure.

It saddens me to think there are some who are frightened by a group that

expresses

love and knowledge.

I for one, am not disappointed in us.

blessings to this gentleman who chose to leave!

According to Wiki, " A cult of personality or personality cult arises

when a country's leader uses mass media to create a larger-than-life

public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of

personality are often found in dictatorships but can be found in some

democracies as well.

 

A cult of personality is similar to general hero worship except that

it is specifically built around political leaders. However, the term

may be applied by analogy to refer to adulation of non-political

leaders. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To make this religious.

Think Benny Hinn, Falwell, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer - seems as if

people follow them and can get almost violent when you disagree with

them.

Also think Oprah - she recommends a book and it becomes a best

seller, she endorses a canditdate, she recommends a product and

Badabing! They explode

This tickled me - my sister and I were just talking about my new life and I was

telling her how one of my dreams is of forming a K community. She then laughing

said: " Just don't drink the kool-aid! " WE CRACKED UP!!!

 

This sister has always been very supportive of anything I do and surprised

me when I was on my way to meet chrism saying she did not want to meet him. Now

she realizes that my coming out here to work with chrism was a good move for me

and he is a trustworthy fella she has changed her mind. She offered to house us

when we do a seminar in MPLS. And she is asking for prayers and good thoughts.

 

I feel the change had to do with the positive energy that surrounds chrism and

this group.

My wish for all is that they find a community like this to be a part of. In

this world environment one needs to be part of a loving and supportive community

to exist. Life alone is just too hard in my opinion.

 

It does not matter what we are called or what others think - we know who are

are and what we are all about. And I am always amazed about the people and

things that seem to come my way.

 

Today I had a fella come over to fix a table - so who shows up but a member of

an international yoga community - so we talked country music and Kundalini as he

worked - so what is this all about? of all the handymen about I get someone who

knows all about yoga and K - his community is run by goddesses - and he is an

elder - what an interesting visit. Sometimes I think I have a K on my forehead

that draws these people to me- I call myself a K - ambassador and I do so love

the sharing with others.

 

It is kind of like --- " be here and they will come " So here I " be " ready for

whatever comes my way - and loving it.

 

How about " Kultalove "

 

Namaste

Sounds like some wonderful things are happening ! It is

synchronicity when we meet people we need to meet or books fall into

our lap on a subject we were just wondering about. When we put those

vibes out to the universe, it usually provides what is needed at just

the right time. It's great isn't it? Get used to it because it will

probably become a regular occurance now.
