Often before you can join a cult or a large group you have to surrender your ego at the door, submit to authority, and give up some of self, or at least some of yourself in order to belong. Even if you don't realize this, generally it is happening to you anyway, unfortunately that's even worse as you are doing it without your knowledge or choice. This is where the indoctrination begins, new terminology, definitions, ideals, leaders, people, and camaraderie. It all looks fine on the surface, everything is great - something new and intriguing.
This is where it starts and something happens. You give up part of yourself and your ego, and find the strength of the herd, a super ego if you will, the super ego of the new organism or group. Still, you have to be careful to observe what's happening or you get sucked in without realizing it. Eventually, you see that the things you once thought you believed in start to change, you become a little confused, but the group or organization has a plan for this; constant bombardment of their message, repetition.
Interestingly enough, this works in human groups of all types and in any size. It can work for organizing a football team, gang, platoon, business, religion, political party, or even a whole nation - in fact, it's done every day. But don't feel bad if you didn't know this was perpetually happening to you human, your upright walking cousins do it too, we see it with other primates - chimpanzee troops for instance. You really aren't that special my friend. No, it wasn't my intention to burst your bubble, but since I've already broken the water, maybe it's time that you came out into the real world.
You see, if you give yourself to the mob, and if it controls your mind, you are now part of a super organism with a superego, no longer an individual. In that case you've joined the Borg, how does that make you feel? You see, it's not my job to blow smoke up your ass, or give you a certificate for participation, nor is it my job to stroke your self-esteem. You see, I am an individual, I am outside of your realm, and I am looking in at you, and I am wondering what the hell you think you're doing? Do you even have a brain - can you even think for yourself anymore?
Why have you joined the mass mindless mob of humanity in this way? Why have you surrendered your thoughts, your energy, and even your life's purpose to a group which has done nothing but lie to you? Why would you do that to yourself, why would you give up your life experience for a bunch of utter nonsense? You know, the other day I was talking to a friend, and I said I would like to go around and turn everyone else back on.
I was explaining that it seems like no one was thinking anymore, and everyone was just running around going through their daily paces without even thinking. It was as if all of humanity turned off, and everyone was running around on autopilot. Now then, and yes I'm talking to you personally, not your group anymore. It's time that you stepped out, looked around and observed things using your own mind, and started actually thinking about what you're doing, and why, it's okay if you choose to join a group, as long as it is your choice and you are sure of it, as long as you don't have to give up self to do it.
Still, I would submit to you that chances are this isn't the case. Wake up human. Beware of the super ego of the organism, it will consume you, and then you'll only be the shell of a cell that's been infected with a virus. Think of it like those zombie movies in that new science fiction genre. Why would you want to be like that? In any case, that's all for now, and I thank you for listening. Please consider all this and think on it.
