"Mind Control Made Easy, or How to Become a Cult Leader":

Onion inner core Deception Offer something free Tell them time is running out...

Diminish doubting comiseration by separating recruits
Involve them with truebelivers so it all seems normal
Love bombing - unconditional love
Act friendly and interested
Get information and identify weak spots
Gradually shape recruit's behaviour by granting or witholding love and attention
After recruit has bonded, make demands

Control behaviour - prescribe schedule - keep active
Control Emotions - Fear
Control information

Encourage members to spy and report on one another
Separate recruit from himself by attacking the self and inducing a mental breakdown disguised as a spiritual awakening
When they start to freak out, or halucinate, tell them they are flushing out the bad stuff inside and transforming, and that this is good
Make them paranoid about their own bodies or thought processes
Tell them there is a part of their mind they must eliminate: "your ego is the source of all your problems"
"Now I don't know who I am anymore" "Good! Now you're free; in fact there was no 'you' there to begin with"
Claim authority: from a divine source; special knowledge; scientific research; make up stories to boost your (leader's) importance
...BUT start slowly: A GOOD CON MAN TAKES A LOT OF TRUTH AND A LITTLE BIT OF LIES AND PULLS THE WOOL OVER THE EYES OF THE IGNORANT
Induce self-hypnosis or trance states by practicing thought-stopping rituals and repetitve acts (like singing, spining, mantras, etc.)
Revert them back to chidhood behaviour and mindless obedience

Encourage separation from family and friends:
"Your family and friends probably won't understand" / "Maybe you should stay away from them; it's unhealthy for you to be around unenlightened people anyway" / "If you can't recruit your friends, cut off from them" / "Stop wasting time with non-believers"

Encourage Dependency and Conformity Discouage Autonomy and Individuality: "The self-purpose must be subordinated"

Have sessions where people demonize their early lives and praise their lives in the group" Rewrite the past as if it was terrible, EVEN if it was great:
"...Thanks to the leader I'm a winner..."

Isolate them from the rest of the world make them feel part of an elite group, with an important mission(s)
Tighten your group's bonds by establishing scape goats and enemies, demonizing outsiders as inferiors, biased, corrupt or conspiring against the leader, and develop an US vs THEM mentality

Fighting Resistance: tell them their 'critical thoughts' are evidence that they have commited a crime against the group
START INVESTIGATING THEM and MAKE UP CRIMES
'I think I wanna leave...' "You must be insane!"
Make them feel guilty: "We're doing important work here" / "Do you think that saving the world is easy?" / "We must make sacrifices..." / "Just when things get tough, you wanna give up" / "You're weak!" / "Do you want to move forward into virtue, or do you want to fall back into your old, dirty ways?" / "What's more important: the cause or your petty grievances?" / "You're being negative; ignorant; sinful" / "Our leader is flawless" / "There must be something wrong with YOU"

Indoctrinate with Fear: tell them they may be possessed by evil spirits or SUGGEST THAT
IF THEY SHOULD EVER LEAVE (the group) SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPEN TO THEM: "WITHOUT US YOU'RE LIKELY TO HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT, OR DIE..."

  • This video is very accurate on how cults recruit people. It is a must see for all youngsters leaving home for the first time and are lonely. I was a cult member myself and I can testify it's all correct.
