Having observed the hypnotic, ...Thanks Anonymous. <br /><br />Having observed the hypnotic, drug-like effects of the 'commercial' cult phenomenon first hand with my own brother in the UK, I completely agree. My brother would never have walked into an overtly 'religious' trap, but in 'commercial' cults like 'Amway', Lyoness', etc. the bait has been cleverly modified to attract a broad range of people and to fit the money-mad spirit of our age. <br /><br />Initially, after entering 'Amway, ' my brother, who had previously been suffering from a mid-life crisis and mild depression, underwent a radical personality transformation - becoming euphoric and energy-charged. It was impossible to have a rational conversation with him. This effect stemmed from my brother's closed-logic belief that, within a few years, he was going to enter a secure Utopian existence provided his belief in his 'dreams and goals' was total. My brother's delusion was as powerful as any terrorist's faith in a future Paradise, However, he wasn't persuaded to commit physical suicide, he was being coerced into committing financial suicide.<br /><br />Classically, my brother was convinced that his 'economic' salvation was dependent on his excluding, and/or destroying, all 'negativity' in his life, and on his saving others by converting them to the same closed-logic belief in a secure, future, Utopian existence.<br /><br />David Brear (copyright 2013)<br /><br />In this way, just like drug-addicts, core 'Income Opportunity' junkies, can become pushers. <br /><br />David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-46666767567687645702013-11-09T00:16:18.816+01:002013-11-09T00:16:18.816+01:00Just like religion - Opium for the people.Just like religion - Opium for the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-65771786700653475822013-08-04T10:30:54.314+02:002013-08-04T10:30:54.314+02:00Flexkom and Lyoness?

The danger in the current world economic crisis, is that an increasing number of struggling people need to believe that it is true. It is entirely possible that Sakinmaz has already fallen for his own lies.<br /><br />Classically of cultic groups, the more deluded the adherents become: the more deluded the leadership becomes. <br /><br />David Brear (copyright 2013) David Brearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-1767697690103695892013-08-03T09:04:51.111+02:002013-08-03T09:04:51.111+02:00Know the biggest flexkom fanatic in the UK and bee...Know the biggest flexkom fanatic in the UK and been trying to do some checking about business cults fo a while.
