Choices with Thelma Box has in its program an important list called “6 Points of Power”. After reading them I thought gee these remind me of rules we give our children. Or some rules we had as kids. (Aside from rule 6 which in my opinion is fluffy new-age talk.)

Ya gotta love it! More people making money selling "power" to the powerless.

LOL - She doesn't say WHOSE "power," or which way the "power" is supposed to flow, i.e., in HER direction....

They just sound like ordinary advice or admonishment until you look at them from a cult indoctrination and control perspective. (Can you imagine that these "power points" mightn't destroy the likelihood of your survival in, say, a concentration camp, gulag, or prison?)


1. Pay Attention!

--to what the leaders say so that you remain in alignment with the cult ideology and are focused on cult issues rather than "outside" interests.

2. Speak the truth.

--when questioned by leaders or other cult members so that you learn to censor your own thoughts. After all, you wouldn't want to be called on when you are entertaining doubts or indulging in skepticism or humor that might bring punishment upon yourself.

3. Be responsible for your experience (be accountable)

--and learn to negate it or "shift" it or "reinterpret" your original impression if it is out of alignment with the group and make a habit of punishing yourself for "faulty" interpretations so that you always feel bad and in need of cult guidance and support and thus maintain your own indoctrination.

4. Ask for what you want.

--so that the leaders and other cult members don't have to worry that you are keeping secrets or harboring subversive plans or plotting an escape route or "keeping your own counsel."

5. Keep your agreements.

--so the cult can exploit your time and labor and take advantage of your talents. (This only works with those burdened with a sense of obligation and dependability.)

6. Strive to create value in all things.

--especially what the leaders tell you, after they've stripped whatever you thought was valuable when you showed up, what they say is important, and all the helpful cult agendae like "clearing the planet" or "transforming the world" or "ending world hunger" or such like.


Tyrants, despots, and other dictators *love* honest, energetic, self-sacrificing, dependable, hard-working, loyal, trustworthy, non-critical, and unquestioning slaves, servants, and subjects. They especially *love* any religion, ideology, belief system, or culture that will deliver these people en masse. After all, creating "deployable agents" is the name of the game for those "power" players who are, in reality, lazy, greedy, ruthless, duplicitous, and cowardly. The last thing they would want is a constiuency of people like themselves.



Check out Tom Cruise's "Code of Honor." It's in the cult news on this site.
