....The maum helpers have not told you this yet, they don’t tell the truth until they get your mind controlled. After level 4 it will ask for “Sky Funds” to allow your ancestors to go to heaven from purgatory, about 1K USD. Really money will take then to heaven?

After level 7 is another level, or “culmination” process with the leader Woo Myung, it last about three weeks or so, and its usually held somewhere in Argentina, Korea, or some another place, they will ask you to pay large amount of money, around $6000, or more depends on your financial status. Without this culmination you wont be “complete!

NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN BRAINWASHED (CONVERTED ) AND REALIZED, OR BELIEVED, THAT HE HAD BEEN BRAINWASHED. Those who have been brainwashed by Maum will usually passionately defend their manipulators, claiming they have been transformed in miraculous ways.

Abandonment

It is not uncommon that a practitioner of Maum travels away from their family if their family does not also enter Maum, a common technique of cults. One Maum Meditation practitioner donated his house to the practice.[7] New Maum centers no longer cause a high degree of abandonment, as members are now told to stay near their families and to make converts among their families and friends. This resembles the "sleeper cell" tactic, also used by some terrorists (of course people at the meditation centers are quite peaceful, and have nothing to do with terrorism).

It is not uncommon that people lie to friends and acquaintances; they say they "left meditation centers" but at same time they continue to practice meditation without telling anyone or by trying to convince more friends. This is a big difference compared to other cults.

A minor note, why would something teaching truth be built around lies?

Have you ever been asked by an acquaintance or friend to do meditation with you and to lie to all your other friends and family by keeping this fact secret?

Food

Maum practitioners have their own food supplements called "Self Balancing Food",[8] which is claimed to be extracted from dried vegetables and grains.[9]
