"This is its brilliance. Although the brainwashing effect is strong, it looks mild and harmless. If that's the case, it's certainly not evil. But when you know its internal organization, you will know both.
What a terrible cult effect the combination would produce.”
Alice said and took out a long roll of paper, "Come and take a look at this."
Sun Suhe saw a set of quite complicated procedures written from top to bottom on a long piece of paper. At first glance, it looked a bit like an online game's upgrade cheats.
And the end point of all these processes is three big words - "Holy Favored One".
"What is this? Just like game upgrade cheats, the cult also does this?" Sun Suhe asked.
"This is a set of procedures that I compiled based on the content in this booklet. In fact, most religions will have an upgrade system. If there is no ascending path and no promised vision, how can it attract believers? But it is this set of procedures
The process is specifically designed for brainwashing and control. Joining the Kiddar Mountain Ashram is just the beginning, you see, if you join now, you are here."
Alice pointed at the top with her finger, and then slid her finger all the way down, passing through one complicated level after another, until she reached the final "Holy Favorite".
"After joining the association, believers can upgrade along this process through continuous practice, until they finally become the Holy Beloved. It is said that this Holy Beloved can communicate with the gods and has incredible abilities. But upgrading is not something you can just say.
, only through the judgment and recognition of a small number of high-level officials can believers be promoted. Upgrade ceremonies will be held regularly within the association, which are as grand and grand as possible. The higher the level, the higher the status, and the higher the glory, which strongly stimulates the enthusiasm of believers.
Upgrade desire.”
Alice took a sip of tea and continued: "In addition, there is another key point, that is, in the process of practice and upgrading, it borrows the Christian tradition of one-on-one confession by believers to the priest. All upgrading and
Cultivation is carried out under the one-on-one guidance of a "guide". Same level
The believers have no chance to communicate with each other. Rank is status and rank is glory. They will always be in the anxiety of escalation and secretly compete with each other. This forms an artificial isolation. All you can believe in is doctrine.
, the only one you can trust is the "Guide"."
Sun Suhe looked at the booklet in his hand, and he felt a terrible feeling in his heart. It seemed that what he was holding was not a book, but a poison. He said in a heavy tone: "I understand what you mean.
In the process of this upgrade, a set of doctrines with strict logic and strong brainwashing ability will reconstruct the believers' outlook on life, worldview and values. Once
The meaning of your life is all pinned on upgrading, and you will no longer belong to yourself. A small number of senior leaders hold the most critical power of upgrading and evaluation, and the so-called "leaders" can easily completely control the minds of believers.
It doesn't matter whether the doctrine is good or evil. You have been completely controlled and brainwashed, and what you do depends only on the will of a few high-level people."
"Yes." Alice continued: "Even if the believers don't get anything substantial in this upgrade process, they will continue to be self-reliant because of the large amount of time and energy they have invested and their hard-won status in the meeting.
It’s hard to extricate yourself from deception. Then if you upgrade in this set
Can believers really gain some magical power during the super-level process? If there are external forces involved, this is not difficult to do. You can imagine how terrible brainwashing control and fanatical beliefs this will produce. And this Kida
That’s not all the great things about Mountain Retreat.”
Sun Suhe felt his chest was tight, and his throat felt like a stone was blocked, and he could not speak. He picked up the tea and cow drink on the table and took a big sip. After a long time, he asked: "What else is so great about it?
His grandma’s.”
"Preaching, its preaching techniques are also very powerful. I checked some literature about preaching, and the success rate is less than one in a thousand, such as the preaching method of attracting strangers on the street to preach the gospel. But if you learn from relatives and friends
If you start with it, the success rate will suddenly increase to 50%. As for the Kiddar Mountain Retreat, the book claims that the success rate is as high as 100%. I feel that although it is bragging, it is almost the same."
Alice pointed to the dog-eared page in the booklet and said, "Look at this booklet. Starting from page 135, it takes a long time to write a set of step-by-step preaching process with a total of seventeen steps. The first ten steps are
It is to integrate the missionary target into one's social network through various methods. This part has almost no religious overtones. Even in the first four steps, you are not allowed to talk to the missionary target about anything relevant.
Regarding the topic of religion, it was not until the thirteenth step that special missionaries were arranged to carry out missionary work. This set of methods was step-by-step and based on social relationships. When the seventeenth step was reached, it was almost difficult for the missionary target to refuse to join the church.
Because once you refuse, it means facing huge group pressure and heavy losses in interpersonal relationships, and this teaching is so gentle and kind, so what reason is there to refuse?"
"Look here again." Alice flipped to one of the pages, pointed to a picture on it and asked, "You should recognize this person."
The picture showed a high-spirited and majestic middle-aged man with sword-shaped eyebrows and tiger eyes, a lion's mouth and a broad nose. Sun Suhe felt that he looked familiar at first glance, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Who is this? He looks familiar."
"This is the boss of the Tan family."
"Tan family? Oh," Sun Suhe slapped his thigh, "It turns out to be him. No wonder he looks familiar. His facial features are exactly the same as Tan Xuan's. I've never seen him before. At that time, the old man and Tan Xuan should have killed him before coming back.
The person who is looking for me is also a follower of the Kedarshan Ashram?"
"That's right, and his status in the Kiddar Mountain retreat is quite respected. He is the so-called "Holy Son". Except for the legendary demigods who have almost never appeared, he is the tallest in the group.
Leader. With such high-end connections, such a dazzling star, coupled with such a set of preaching techniques, who can ordinary people resist?"
Sun Suheqi said: "Hey, wait a minute, ordinary cults are just for making money. This Tan Fu is the boss of the Tan family. The most important thing he needs is money. If he wants to make money, there are many faster ways, so why waste it?
To put so much energy into running such a cult. What exactly is the purpose of this Kedarshan retreat?"
Alice sighed, "Yeah, it's not scary to ask for money. What's scary is not knowing what you're asking for. And Tan Fuji is a person participating in the deer game. I'm almost certain that there is someone behind this Kidasan retreat.
Forces intervene. Although he obviously has overwhelming power compared to ordinary people, he is so low-key and restrained, and even spends a lot of energy to come up with such a thing. Ha, this is really worth pondering."
