Cult.

HEAVENS ABOVE

How easy it is to control
others! New patients going into
therapy, people coming for
counselling or reading, often beg
for it. oe

They want to be told what to
do, Many would rather hear
pseudo-insights from a supposed
authority than develop their own.

Their behavior cries out for
manipulation ... a temptation |

which many therapists, those with

unfulfilled needs of their own, ev-
idently find impossible to resist.

But these peo- .
ple/clients/patients are merely
continuing the pattern established
by parents who needed, too. —-

The parents control the child in
order to mould him or her into
the sort of person who might pro-
vide what they. wanted and needed
from their own parents.

In the process, the child is
deprived, the self is buried, and
the potential is born for someorie
to come along Iater, play the same
parental role and gain power over
that person. .

Facism is easy to achieve. One
must only appear to fulfil need by
telling people what they yearn to
hear to kill their pain of unfulfill-
ed need. .

People are reluctant to leave a _
leader who does this, no matter.
how cruel and sadistic he. -
becomes, because they hope. They .
always glimpse a ray of hope.

Just as in the original family. .
situation, to give up that hope is
almost impossible, because it. ‘
forces one to deal with the painful
reality of deprivation.

‘More followers did not try to
leave David Koresh when it :
became bizarre or, for that mat-
ter, Jonestown, because to feel
forsaken (out ‘in the Maya’? or
‘‘illusion’’) is to be faced again
with no hope. :

No one with great unfulfilled
need can take that step. And so
those who volunteer for
stay.

They willingly do foolish things:
give up their money, Jeave their ~
families, shave off their hair, or

- allow themselves to be harangued

for hours (often in a dope-induc-

_ ed stupor).

The acts they perform are sym-

~ bolic rituals to assure the leader

that he has control.
No one wants that kind of
power unless he is ‘‘neurotic’’ or

. “unbalanced,’’ thus, it is not the

abuse of power that is dangerous,
but instead, access to such power,
because power over others is an

’ abuse in itself. ,
