I'm involved with a certain TV show. We have the British group Take That on the show tonight. Their fan base is amazing. There's teenagers camping out in front of the venue. Definitely cult-like ;-)

The group is great, though. They're very decent lads.

Just wanted to clarify, I didn't mean to imply all artists and their fans act this way. It's perfectly normal for fans to have adoration in this manner.

In most cases, the cult-like behaviour somehow develops from the fans themselves. The celeb may just clue into it as an afterthought, that hey these people are crazy for me ... and there may be the temptation to take advantage of that, and subtly rev up their fanatical behaviour. What I mostly meant was some can attract a certain type of fan, others alike, join in and the cult behaviour is noted. They may be attracted to the lyrics, because the lyrics have a certain theme. Or if it's not a musician, they're attracted to something else that the celeb's theme targets. Without naming names and giving examples, I can't properly express what I mean ...

Live music at a concert, like radio, is a shared experience you do at the same time with others. A CD is most often something you listen to alone. An album can be recorded by the Artist with that intention in mind. I often wonder why some of the song selection has those awful songs, you wish ve. I came home from it crying and depressed and truthfully it triggered an unforeseen circumstance - because it got me to react. Admittedly it was because the content was intentional, in that it's going to upset anyone who has experienced any of the circumstances they acted out in a montage of scenes. They didn't miss a beat. I researched it's reviews and read how others thought the same of it. So it wasn't just me.

Its my belief that at the moment some of us and I dont mean some of us are more special than others.I just think some are becoming aware at a faster rate than others.
My theory is that some, maybe you are releasing karma aparantly the hardest karma on this physical plane is the emotional chakra.
This chakra the solar plexus chakra dealing with all the positive and negative emotions.
Possibly when one is with a crowd and the chakra is not balanced with other energy points in the body termoil could occur.
If said person is becoming more aware and is in the process of releasing negative baggage they are tuned into themselves and those around them.
If those who are consciously asleep react with anxiety anger ,sadness etc
then said person who is aware will feel the emotions at an increased level.
The trick is to ground the energy and be aware of your own body.
As for the dizzy cams they dont work with me either I know what you mean about IMAX though.
It seems to me anyway that these times the spiritually unaware are up for grabs and you cant make someone research their spirituality.
Its like when the Herd of Deer are attempting to cross the river The Herd being the consciously asleep and the crocodiles are in the river waiting to devour them.Replace Crocodiles with Cult leaders.

HYPOTHETICAL.
This site attracts a certain type of poster.
Maybe a certain particular blood group.
Remember all cells have memories.
That certain type of poster falls in with the wrong sort.
Those in the know can connect to those of the certain blood group.
That said blood group or sleepers return to the vipers nest.
That certain blood group cannot resist the call.
The cult is formed.
The dinosaurs were here first.
Certain rituals ARE REQUIRED.
Welcome ALL what a vipers nest it is.
Keep the faith all
