[split] Declassified CIA Document on Gateway Experience [the Cult posts]

[YinYang]

No offense, please do realize many people consider the Ra Material and the affiliated group Cult related.

Cults are identified as such by their behaviour, not by their beliefs. Their is no behaviour on the part of LL that warrants the cult label. There is no charismatic authority, no control or coercion, no thought reform, no strict hierarchy, etc. In fact, LL has pretty much embodied exactly the opposite of cultish behaviour. Freedom in thought and action, differing views, etc. are encouraged, because its at the heart of the philosophy, which is just the opposite of how any cult operates. Cults are not known for their freedom, they are known for their enslavement and fear. The Ra material is extremely freeing.

It is precisely that freedom which makes this forum such a...uhm... 'spirited' place sometimes. The message of Oneness is also not new, it has been taught by sages throughout the ages, those of Ra just gave us a different slant on information which is always and ever the same.
