332. Identifying False Prophets
There’s been no shortage of false prophets over time. I define false prophets as anyone who “claims” to be god/a god or the word of god. Now keep in mind, we all ultimately are. However these people use this “title” in order to control and manipulate others. Often times they are leaders of cults or other seemingly “dangerous” ideologies. Their claims are less often channeling and connecting with the collective, but simply a “script” that they’re running out of their own mind.
When I really start to think, I find that there are more crossovers than not. After all, many cults start out with a good cause. Or conceptually/foundation-ally, they do have a good cause. Particularly if they are aligned with new age ideologies. However, the way that the false prophet operates typically instills a level of brainwashing which uses things for personal gain. Concepts are fundamentally right. Person and way information and persuasion used is wrong.
They don’t have any resonation. Concept may be right, but way it’s being delivered doesn’t have connection. claim they are more god-like/ascended than others. There may feel that overall there’s a “disconnect”. This can be hard to observe over time, as you continue to become more brainwashed. I often times find that it’s why a lot of the “script” ideologies are hidden at first. Because if the public were to see them in a non-brainwashed state, they would be totally baffled, confused or disgusted. Before joining any organization, it’s incredibly important that you’re clear with what their goals, ideas and values are.
They may speak about empowerment, but they retain control. If you don’t follow practices, you won’t achieve enlightenment. There should not be a “system in place which grants some people rights, and others none. Or really… if there’s any stripping away of people’s freedoms, this is a problem. Anyone and everyone should have full autonomy or say in their life, their choices and their involvement with said organization.
Reign is typically short lived or deteriorates rapidly. This can be due to a lot of reasons, particularly legal or financial, but it’s also due to the fact that they are not connected to source. When you’re operating an organization which only exists out of fear or penalizing your followers, you are not going to have long loyalty throughout the duration of your reign. You may be able to keep people brainwashed for a certain period of time, but eventually the hunger for control becomes too much, and there’s a misstep. There’s always an inevitable overtake of power or whistle-blower event. People leave, gain clarity, warn others, etc.
They claim to know information others don’t or won’t. To be honest, this is the biggest red flag. If the leader is the only one who can communicate with god, there’s no other context for this… just run.
Hoard wealth or material possessions. It’s pretty self explanatory. If there’s a clear indication tat the point or usage of the organization is for the leader’s gain, it will be made obvious.
Excuse behavior with circular logic or reasoning. If leaders are exempt from questioning by making up excuses, it would fall under this category.
Are extremists, particularly anti-establishment. This is always intentional, because it works in their favor. It’s an “excuse” to disconnect from society, reality and “lie off the grid” where there’s less government or societal over-seeing. They do not want people aware of what’s going on or up in their business. The extremism is also closely tied with influence, power and control.
Recommend you cut ties with your previous life. The less connections you have outside of the organization, the less threatening it is for the organization.
Recommend behaviors or rituals which are odd, uncomfortable or destructive. It’s no doubt that throughout the initiation process, a lot of odd or uncomfortable stuff is going to happen. This is partially to test or gain your loyalty, but also to put insurmountable pressure onto you to let go of your boundaries. You’re ultimately being groomed to make it harder and harder for you to say no.
At the end of the day, if you feel someone’s wrong (to you), then they’re wrong (to you). If you aren’t sure, you need to take a step back, consider other sources, or do more research. No organization should be telling you what to do with your life or how to live. No one should be intimidating you or making you feel uncomfortable.
