Benevolent cults? You mean like good cop, bad cop? Good religion, bad religion?
Religion is ignorance, control fo the lower mind, regardless of it's advertising.
Several here have knowledgeably posted about the necessity of developing alone, when an awareness level is reached where they can begin to question on their own. Until that time, they are chattel.

What attracted you to Scientology? Just curious ... In my part of the world we're hearing horror stories about dependency and financial exploitation.
Sorry for the miscommunication.
I am not a Scientologist.
I am a Solist Mystic.

Ultimately you can only help yourself. At one point you gotta drop the crutches and walk on your own.

I also participate in a UFO thread on ATS and I have to say that you guys have a totally different vibe in here. It seems to me that you are actually having a discussion
Originally posted by Mr GreenDo you think groups/cults may help people reach this level of awarness though? Play a part so to speak? However the problem with this is, when this level of awarness is reached, how do they leave? Some cults dont allow people to leave do they, they all live in the far out back cut off, unable to even contact the outside world.

Dropping the crutches can be very painful
I am not well versed as yourself with all this and don't really understand how the energy is taken.
SS,Naga...this is quite explosive information, do you ever worry "they" may visit you (whoever they may be!), have you ever been pressurized not to speak of this?
What makes you say the following remark?
"What is most certainly lost is just the concrete, "private" historical agenda, a biography so to say."
Have you ever considered that your current state as a human being is the sum of your private, historical agenda?

I was referring to particular point of view characteristic to each individual being, which is tied to its physical form - like you or me as individuals in this life, our personal agendas, where we were born, where we are now, etc. This has to be lost because it is completely about physical existence.
But our experience, that is, our knowledge that we possess cannot be destroyed and is paired with the next physical form which is born in its own specific situation. How confusing would it be if we continued the same time line projected onto new born baby's mind, just try to imagine
This has to be lost because it is completely about physical existence.

Face pain, don't run away
The most important thing a man can do is not feel sorry for himself, or anybody else.
With this attitude mastered, you are prepared for anything.
And you will have no fear.

Well, that was one interesting excursion into the light! It certainly sounds like you saw a Guardian! I have heard other people mention similar (very honest), and this always thrills. The name I give to these Guardians/Rulers/Watchers over the human race (Caretakers-Consumers: nothing benevolent!) is: The Melchizedeks. And if you are not aware of this, be very careful: they are the Contiguous Sticky-Uz for this region, and will have you worshipping them in one form or another, fast: reject one 'sect' of theirs, and you will run straight into another of their 'arms' of worship: they are the ones at the top, the Controllers of the Food-Chain.
