<\/p>\n It is important to remember that while many cults<\/a><\/strong> use religion in some form, this is not how all operate. Some are political, therapeutic, or even cultural. The reason they are so highly connected to religion is that they operate similarly to what one might see in organized religion. For example, in the Christian faith, one might give a tithe or offering. A person might read from a specific book. On top of this, they tend to hang around other like-minded people.<\/p>\n You might even see people sing songs or preach messages heavily related to their faith. Which continues to play on our emotions and mind overall. This is a simple concept used in most faiths. Now, take religion out of it and replace most of this with a cult’s beliefs and doctrine. You’ll clearly see how close the two relate. That is why people tend to believe in their cult “religiously.” Yet the question many might wonder is, how do cults brainwash people into buying into them at all?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The term “cult” comes from the Latin word “cultus<\/a><\/strong>.” This pretty much means to till or cultivate something. Of course, when one cultivates something like a crop, they are preparing and using or acquiring and developing. This is important to remember, as a cult is doing this sort of thing to its members. They are using them, but the reasons for this will differ from cult to cult with some having different aspirations compared to others. For example, political vs religious cults can have wild differences.<\/p>\n You might see some Mormon or Christian cults that differ heavily from traditional Christian or LDS teachings and concepts. Yet a cult will utilize those religious concepts, mixing them with their own doctrine. That allows people to have beliefs that fit the mainstream, making it easier for members to gather others. For political cults, they will prey on idealistic people who want change. Instead of mixing with a religious concept, they choose a mainstream political concept instead.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While many cults do have older members, some might be exclusively made up of younger individuals such as teenagers and college-aged kids. In fact, recruiting for cults at colleges is incredibly common and happens all over the world. Cults love to go after idealistic people or those who are just lost in life. As they are more open to trying something new. Cults brainwash people like this in multiple ways. Some use idealistic goals, religious views, sex, and more. Almost always, they use attractive members to lure people in.<\/p>\n Charles Manson, for example, was incredibly good at getting women to fall for him and his ideals. He and others went after the “lost soul<\/a><\/strong>,” a term used to describe people who are in bad positions in their life or simply don’t find themselves fitting in anywhere. College kids or teens often experience doubts, have naive tendencies, and want some direction in their life to know what to do. Some might have very little family or none at all, lack a core group of friends. Cults offer them that missing family and friends unit. On top of their lack of worldly experience, this need for belonging is easy to manipulate for them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When a cult catches a lost soul, they are able to indoctrinate them<\/a><\/strong> without too much priming or overworking. Many need a sense of family and\/or friends. The cult provides the same level of dedication that regular families have. This obviously creates a love among the members, just as you’d see in any other family. On top of this, there is no situation where Stockholm Syndrome is present. While some are not allowed to leave the cult, others let people go free but have a mental hold on them.<\/p>\n It’s a mental captivity situation in which you might not be physically trapped but will be psychologically trapped. If they break away or disobey, cults will ban them. That same familial system they connected so heavily to is then taken away. Imagine losing your REAL family in its entirety as well as ALL your friends. That is held over the lost souls, which is an incredibly powerful threat. This is how cults brainwash people so easily sometimes, it’s almost like they are holding all you love hostage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are several elements of indoctrination that cults utilize. Each one is very important, as they will be used to fully bring someone in and keep them from leaving. The weird part is that they won’t even want to leave, in spite of the obvious problems around them. Why is this? A lot of people assume that only gullible people fall for cults. While this is true “some” of the time, it is not the case most of the time. In fact, very smart people have fallen victim to them. How does a smart person fall for what is obviously a bad thing? Treat it like one of those pyramid schemes<\/a><\/strong> everyone and their brother tries to recruit you into.<\/p>\n It is ultimately a sales job, where your recruitment of others into the scheme helps you make more money. Any money they make, you make a portion of. The cycle continues, so the more you recruit and the more your recruits end up recruiting, enhances your top-end power. This “promise of something more” is enticing for people, that’s how cults brainwash people so easily. Most people want better for their life, and if a cult can tap into that, they can make smart people do some stupid things without a lot of effort. Let’s discuss the major elements of indoctrination fully.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We referenced the lost soul already, but beyond those who lack direction, cults can manipulate others too. They tend to use something referred to as “the stress method.” It is a point where cults utilize the real-world stress a person is dealing with in their life, and use it against them. Things like a bad break-up, a close friend\/family member passing away, the loss of employment, you name it. Anything that could be considered “stress-inducing” is open, free game for cults to prey on.<\/p>\n When we’re stressed, it is scientifically proven<\/a><\/strong> that our brain function is impaired. That impairment, however small, can allow you to fall for something you might not fall for at another time. Of course, significant stress is easy to spot for recruiters. In fact, it’s one of the top ways in how cults brainwash people. They prey on that stress, telling them that they can take away all their problems. All they have to do is give them the chance to openly discuss things with them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you’re in a bad situation in life, you’re more open to trying something new already. You want to try something that could potentially better your life, even save it. That is exactly what cults sell you on<\/a><\/strong>. Cult recruiters use really impressive techniques to psychologically affect people. They’ll use emotional intelligence, which they use to relate to your situation and make you want to ask them how they got past things. Recruiters are often great with their body language and touch as well.<\/p>\n Touch can be effective because the warmth and feeling of connection are things recruiters know will put you at ease. The body language might be used to show a romantic connection, which is often faked. Keep in mind, many recruiters are trained to do this. Once they have you psychologically, they can sell you on their “group.” This is the first step in how cults brainwash people, as they sell them on the greatness of their “group.” Yet they leave out illegal activities, controversial views, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You now show up to a place where the “group” meets. The locations can differ wildly depending on the cult. Many like to meet in the middle of nowhere. This might be on a compound the cult owns where people stay on the regular. Others might have a building somewhere in a city or right outside of one. It’s all about “location, location, location.” Once you’re there, it becomes very easy to like the cult members. Most are incredibly welcoming to new members, which offers a friendly vibe<\/a><\/strong> immediately upon arrival.<\/p>\n From here, other recruiters might work on you as much as the one you knew beforehand. You’ll be invited back, and they will continue to sell you on things. Again, the elements used here offer friendship, family, as well as self-help that can truly be useful for people. This is yet again how cults brainwash people. They give them exactly what the person needs somewhat. But the new world you’re now part of is only focused on the cult. Everything is self-contained within it, and nothing on the outside begins to matter. Except for the fact that you’ll slowly begin to see the world for what the cult claims it to be.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you’re present and in an environment that is seemingly easy-going and helpful, the guard you might have had up as you came in will be lowered. It’s almost like how you do not have your guard up at your own home or at your sibling’s or best friend’s home. You expect to be relatively safe there. However, this comfort is specifically designed to help you fall for what the “Cult Leader<\/a><\/strong>” claims. Leadership is often male but there are some female cult leaders too.<\/p>\n He or she will be incredibly charismatic and likable often from the very first time you see them. But this too is built to blind you, as their charisma is making their words seem better than they are. Charisma actually helps a person become more persuasive, and those with high levels of it will be effective communicators. This charm they have will make them become more attractive to some. Yet for others, it’ll make their words seem smart or logical. Many even use basic terminology to speak at levels they know all can understand while also guiding you into complexity to show a hollow level of intelligence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our cult leader will want us to hate anything he or she hates. If they find toothbrushes to be terrible, their charisma will make cult members choose to throw out their toothbrushes. Seriously, this type of concept has been employed before. From the first meeting to the one hundredth, you’re told about “an enemy.” Of course, all cults differ on who they proclaim to be an enemy or threat<\/a><\/strong> to the world. Cults love to use “governments,” “religions,” or “society” as enemies of the world. This is useful because the terms are so broad.<\/p>\n Cults keep things self-contained a lot, members do not realize that the “enemy” is nothing like what the cult claims. Children are told from a young age that the outside world wants to kill them or assault them, if you ever leave then God will hate you, etc. It is a clear form of mental abuse. Yet it makes them afraid to do something that differs from the cult norm. Others who are brought into the cult then slowly begin to see things the way a cult referenced because they are focused completely on the cult. Cults brainwash people into believing their enemies are threats, but the cult will keep you safe if you do as they say.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our cult enemy<\/a><\/strong> will then come in any specific form that the Cult Leader chooses for it to be at that time. Let’s pretend our cult enemy is the fast-food giant, McDonald’s. We at the fake “Burger King Cult” feel the clownish society of Marxist, liberal workers of McDonald’s are hurting the world. WE are the only place “true burgers” are made, at a whoppingly good price. Of course, we have the one true Burger “King.” Our burgers are healthy, cause no problems, and you can eat as many as you want without getting fat. This is all a lie, but that’s kind of the mark of a true cult.<\/p>\n Naturally, we have chosen our enemy for a few reasons. First, they are clearly in a position our leader wants to be in. We need to bring them down to improve our own odds to succeed. Yet as long as they are still in operation, we cannot do that. This will lead our cult to hurt employees of McDonald’s, bomb their stores, and threaten corporate members. We have created an enemy that members will slowly find issues with too. Everything bad in society is their fault, and this is how cults brainwash people into committing horrible acts against those “enemies.” It often comes down to an “Us vs Them” mentality.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we referenced before, you’re going to use worldly concepts such as religious or political ideology that they understand already. You will then mix your version of beliefs into it. However, this is only a small step. Cults brainwash people by making sure recruits see the cult as the best way to solve their problems while also lowering the recruit themselves. They will often point to why the new recruit is a problem by referencing their flaws, issues, or even their humanity.<\/p>\n Cults will also use guilt, blame, as well as even fear to make them see how horrible they or the world are. But it’s okay because this cult will make it all better. This is a method of coercive persuasion<\/a><\/strong>. A lot of cults actually have recruits invite friends and family, as well as co-workers. You are then open to the idea of going due to the level of trust we give these people. Yet many people actually go along with what they see in front of them, especially if they are looking for a proper direction in life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A lot of what cults tend to use is simple. Many people actually fall for things around them when they see others fall for things too. People can see an obvious lie but still mimic what others say or do, out of fear that THEY might be wrong. We have a fundamental desire to be part of a group. Humans are not really made to be alone, so it is in our nature to try to connect to a group rather than disconnect. Social Psychologist Solomon Asch proved this in 1951 through a psychological experiment<\/a><\/strong>. In it, he brought several people into a room and sat them down at a table.<\/p>\n All but “one” of the people present were in on the study, which formed the “group” setting. They were shown a line on the left of a large board, then asked to pick between three possible answers on the right to decide which best matched the left-hand line. The first line was the right answer but the group chose “Answer 2.” Shockingly, 75% of those tested agreed with the overall group. Proving that one will often mimic those around them to fit in rather than differ to stand out most of the time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Humans often dislike standing out in a crowd. As much as some people like athletes or actors enjoy attention from the masses, most of them will also act like regular people. We will conform to stay part of the group because it is simply how we’re wired, especially when a person is lonely or desires more connection. Some will differ from that and will often choose to go down a different path. These “individualists” are a huge problem for cults. That is why good old peer pressure<\/a><\/strong> is so useful for cults to employ.<\/p>\n Recruiters likely know enough about you to play on your emotions. If you experienced a bad break-up, they will tell you that their group can help you find love again. But without them, it might be hard to do. You’re broken and no one wants a broken person, so you “could” leave. Just know, if you do, you’ll just remain lonely. That type of peer pressure is powerful on an emotionally vulnerable person, and it’s a key way cults brainwash people into buying into their vision. It is more psychological for most cults, but it is often more than enough.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When it works, persuasion that was forced upon people can be harder to break people from, and it’s incredibly effective. In fact, this specific system was employed on Patty Hearst<\/a> in the 1970s. Patty was the heiress to the huge Heart Publishing Company. Yet in 1974, she was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army or SLA. This was a political cult that wanted to sway Patty to their side, specifically due to who she was. To do this, they essentially tortured the poor girl.<\/p>\n She was locked in a dark closet for several days and kept hungry, tired, and they even assaulted her and beat her off and on. The entire time, they bombarded her with anti-capitalist ideology. While this ideology in itself is not exactly bad, the SLA pushed their own doctrine too. They forced her to see that taking down the rich, killing and\/or robbing them, and other militant concepts was the only way. After many months, Patty had changed her name and called her family “Pig-Hearsts.” On top of that, she was caught helping them rob a bank soon, stealing cars, kidnapped people, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you’re finally forced to stick around or conform, it can be easy to drift into similar beliefs. Many cult members live among other members on compounds. But those who are not isolated from the world will still live with specific members, such as a cult elder. If a person already lives on their own, cults will employ different tactics. They will either make a person sell their home and move in with other members or on the compound itself, or put them into more activities.<\/p>\n This means they will do their best to keep the member connected to the cult so that all they focus on IS the cult. If they connect to the outside world too much, that is a good way to lose people. “Thought Reform<\/a><\/strong>,” a tactic used to systematically alter a person’s thinking or belief system, only works when one is heavily engrossed in the reformist doctrine. If you can be influenced by something outside the cult, it must be removed<\/a><\/strong> from your life. Cults gladly tell you what to avoid, everything but them.<\/p>\n Cult leaders want you to maintain a single-minded belief that flows through the cult itself. Nothing outside the cult is okay unless cult leaders specifically say it is. This means that even if cult leaders did not specifically say something was bad, it would be simply because they never said it was not. The single-minded concept where you are never making a decision on your own is very useful to cults. It means you will practice absolute faith, believing in only what you are told to believe in.<\/p>\n Cults have used this to do some horrific things over the years. For example, the Japanese Aleph Cult (previously known as Aum Shinrikyo<\/a><\/strong>), was a political cult that operated in the 1980s. They used concepts from pretty much every popular faith system. Their leader led them to commit the deadly Matsumoto Sarin Attack in 1994 and Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack in 1995. Of course, members had absolute faith that they were doing what was right. Because their leader told them it was right.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Psychologically, we as humans tend to take in a lot of information every day. We may not realize how much, but each situation sprouts up an opportunity for you. A person can choose to react in different ways depending on the day to whatever comes up, but not for the single-minded<\/a><\/strong>. You have one reaction and one belief system, which never changes unless you are told to change it. Interestingly, the cult leader(s) choose whether or not you change.<\/p>\n Yet this is the same person or group that gave you the original unchanging concepts, to begin with. This single-minded nature, again, is perfect for cults. As you can change your mindset at the flip of a coin if a leader tells you to. Yet you will not even consider it without their say-so. Normally, people would submit to this but the indoctrinated will to fix themselves or get the long-term rewards they were once promised. Many also just have a desire to belong and will remain faithful to still belong.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cults discourage critical thinking at all times. Absolute faith is all they want and any other thought that differs from the cult belief can possibly fracture the cult system. This cannot be allowed, naturally. This results in a person experiencing something known as “cognitive dissonance<\/a><\/strong>.” This is a psychological issue where a person feels discomfort with something that differs from their sense of self or a core belief they have. For example, 2+2=4. We know this to be true, without a doubt.<\/p>\n If we argued that it was “5” instead, you’d fight this. It is natural instinct to push back when someone is stating a “fact” that is absolutely not true. We won’t bend on this either, for if we do, it is an admission that the other side could potentially be right in some form. It is commonly used in the political realm among party hacks who believe their party or political group is never wrong and the only one that is true, while the other side always lies. Critical thinking would show this is stupid, as both sides could be right or wrong at the same time or at different points. But blind, absolute faith pushes against this.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Confabulation<\/a><\/strong> is an interesting psychological phenomenon. Some people with specific mental disorders do it, but others might out of a trauma they experienced and\/or an injury to the head. When someone is forced to comply with something, such as when cults brainwash people, a person remembers things sometimes drastically different compared to the true reality. This is something our brain does to protect us. Many people cannot psychologically move on after something terrible happens. Of course, others cannot get past something terrible they specifically have done.<\/p>\n This is when they begin to lie to themselves in an attempt to dismiss the terrible action or reason it as something they “had” to do. Confabulation will often cause a person to remove negative for positive. However, they might also put a negative in place of the positive, usually as a way of defending their hatred for a person, place, event, object, etc. Cult members consistently experience confabulation issues. Confabulation caused by mental disorders revolves around our imagination creating false memories. Meanwhile, in cults, it is often the leader or other members that cause it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Look into our eyes, what do you see? The cult of personality? We know your anger, we know your dreams. We’ve been everything you want to be. The awesome song by Living Colour<\/a><\/strong> aside, this is a real term that often references a nation’s political regime or even a specific person. They will utilize the media, propaganda, the arts, as well as push their patriotism or government-organized demonstrations\/rallies in an effort to create the ideal, heroic, worshipped image of a leader.<\/p>\n This is a form of “social engineering” (top-down method of influencing the attitudes\/behaviors of others) usually employed in an authoritarian or totalitarian regime. Adolph Hitler is an example of this, along with the Nazis. You’ll note that even though a few Nazi soldiers did break away from the regime, the bulk practiced absolute loyalty to him. In spite of the mass slaughter of Jewish people, people followed orders. The ![\"Hooded](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/hooded-cultists.jpg\")
