Good morning..

I’m on my way to the airport going home for my son’s wedding and I could use some good vibes peeps. Not happy about having to cover my face for all these hours… I’m having an almost visceral reaction. I haven’t worn a mask in so long.

Please send my light and lots of love!! Thank you in advance…

Listening to this to try and stay calm 🌊🌊 asking the ocean waves to transmute any unease’s

Welp, I wish we’d had this info last night. But, thankfully, it looks like the impact is small and now that the volcano is “open” the pressure can release steadily as needed. 👇🏻

Do you know that the heart ( love ) has far more atoms = energy to change things even amongst universe with only 1% of us versus the brain. Why do you think God says , of the 3 utmost important , Love , faith , hope . Kind of cool , eh ? Love this group ! We are all sync !:)

The kids are a lot smarter than we tend to give them credit for. And they are picking up all kinds of things in the field.
My 13 y.o. daughter wrote this just “because she felt like it”. Now, granted she's an empath and she's very bright, but this really did kind of blow me away. Use this as a reason to hope. They get it! At least some of them do. (And for the record, she is extremely sardonic (wonder where she got that), she is not trying to start a cult!

~A Satirical Look at Brainwashing or Cults for DUMMIES~   

Every person in the public square has been brainwashed. Not one of us has gone their whole life without it. Have you ever been told about or to do something over and over? Whether you like it or not, repetitive statements influence your opinion. A prominent example could be peer pressure. Multiple people or statements pushing you to do something. This is brainwashing. Convincing you to do or think something based off a constant forcing it into your mind.

If someone gets a genuine compliment on their new shirt from someone whose opinion matters to them, they’re probably more likely to wear that shirt again. It’s the little things. We are all “victims” of this, but this is just a part of being in the current society. On the extremely extreme end, there are the cults that exploit the brain to achieve their goal, whether that be new members, a sense of control, money, whatever twisted reason they may have for dragging a person into a cult. 

With all that intro aside, here’s your go-to guide on starting your own cult!

Step ONE: Identify recruits.

You’ll want to look for the more sheltered people, people who may hide away a little more. People who’re less likely to have a support system they would go to if they feel afraid. Just starting your cult? Get close to the person. Become their friend and slowly but surely seed in your ideas. It may take a long time, so be patient. Eventually, they will start to subscribe to your beliefs.

Step TWO: Draw them in

So you should have a few people interested in your ideology. You need to get them in the habit of saying ‘yes’. Make sure you’re the one they say ‘yes’ to the most. They need a pen? You’ve got one. They’re thirsty? You go grab them a glass of water. Start inviting them to small events. ‘Come over and watch a movie!’ ‘Lets go get coffee!’ Make sure you don't seem obsessive or threatening. Eventually, when they have trust in you, invite them to a non-threatening event. This can be a small party, a ball, a play, something that they don't need to ponder for very long to agree to. When they’re there, make sure they are surrounded by your ideas without them noticing it as being heavy-handed. You want them to know you’re talking about it, wanting to get them involved, but try to keep them from associating your cult with negative feelings. When that’s all in place, focus on step three.

Step THREE: Love bombing

At the event, you’ll want to build a positive association between your recruit and the cult. Make sure they get lots of positive attention. They must leave the event satisfied and happy that they went. Shower them with just enough positivity that they enjoy it, but not so much that they see you as pressuring. It can be a tricky balancing act to master, but practice makes perfect! Maybe try perfecting your kindness-to-weirdness ratio online or to friends/family. As long as you’re just being positive/kind, the negative effects won't be too apparent in just rehearsing. Another goal from this step is to introduce them to the prize. The prize is the reward they get for staying in/joining the cult. The prize has been known to be a very wide range of things in other cults, be it a sense of community, inclusivity or enlightenment, or something more physical: money, power, a sense of ennoscriptment over those who are not in the cult because we are different. We are special. You need to extract an agreement from them that they want the prize. If you are worried about privacy, a non-disclosure agreement is always a valid way to go.

Step FOUR: Advertisement & continuation

You’ll want to keep inviting them to these places and events until they truly feel as though they are part of your group. They may see it as a group of friends who share ideas, and if they do, exploit the heck outta that! If they talk about friends outside of your circle, ask them if they’d like to invite the other friend to one of the cult-related events. The more the merrier, after all. You’ll want to apply the same steps as before to the new people showing up. Your first recruits will likely help in indoctrinating the others without even knowing it. They will try to make the new arrivals more comfortable, happy in the environment, etc. They will be love bombing the others without you having to lift a finger.

Step FIVE; The carrot and the stick

When you have a solid following, it’s time to add in some punishment. Things can't just be all happy-dappy all the time, you need to start conforming them to your ideals. Show disdain for language or behavior that doesn't fit your ideals as they regard the cult. Reward good behavior, such as advertising the cult. Start to limit their access to independency. They should start to depend on you for food, water and/or lodging, etc. This will cause much more of a struggle to leave than if they were just ‘friends’ with you. Implement a routine. Get up at 7, eat at 8, pray at 9, for example. Heavily enforce it and punishment can be distributed for failure to comply. This is the point where they may start to have doubts, as its the only real negative experience they will have had so far, which is why it is so important to get them to depend on you. It will be so much harder to leave if they depend on you emotionally, but if they depend on you physically? Even better! Get a house together where you all live. Control the income of food. Make sure they cannot leave if they want to, then shame them for wanting to leave. This can spur them to prove that they actually love the cult.

Step SIX: Alienation

Your next step is to alienate them from their former friends and family. They should have no other circle of people than your cult. You can seed this in: ‘Those people don't believe in what you believe in. They will try to change your mind. They’re wrong. Believe in us. Believe in me.’ The point of this is to stop them from being able to talk to someone about the cult in a negative way. They shouldn’t be able to talk about it to organize their thoughts either. Therapy is a big no, because talking to a professional would help them see why they feel the way they feel, so you’ll want to establish a stigma against talking about your problems as well.

Step SEVEN: Withholding 

You’ll want to make sure they don't have the ‘truth’ of the cult’s core beliefs for a very long time. They need a prize to strive for. Remember the prize we talked about in step three? You need to very slowly allow them the prize. Show them little parts of the prize to entice them to move up in the ranks. They will try to rise up to your status in the cult because you have all the answers and they need all the answers. This can take years. If you disclose your entire system to them right away, they will have the access to the beliefs you built the cult on, and will no longer have a reason to fight for them, especially if they are wild beliefs. Scientology is a cult with a belief system around alien souls and spaceships that started from a science fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard. If the people in that cult today who are quickly losing tens of thousands of dollars to Scientology just saw their entire religion layed out in front of them, they probably wouldn’t have subscribed to it as quickly.

Step EIGHT: Tolerance for non-believers

Shame. Shame and guilt are incredibly important for shunning those who don’t believe. If someone is expressing or stirring up dissonance, be sure to tell your followers that the troublemaker is wrong and not special like the rest of them. Start harsher punishments on those who cause discord. Remember, if someone won’t believe, they are a hazard to the people you are trying to lure in. You need to cut off all ties with someone who is endangering your cult. It will stop your loyal followers from listening to them and will illegitimize their claims because ‘they just don't get it’.


And there you have it, folks! The building blocks to your very own cult. Remember, I am in no way saying you should use these tactics or do anything unlawful, this is purely meant to educate on the ways many cults operate and to entertain. Please don't get me arrested.

Mr Pool with some images for us. A picture is worth a thousand words. And it goes into more than just your EYES. 👇🏻

Welp - clearly @AshtheWarriorMom understood my Bridges post. 😁👇

Love what @truthrascalhq wrote about bridges. I have felt this calling over the last year and a half. That I am called to be a bridge. I see so many who are set on having their minds made up. They stand at the ready to defend their decision of what the truth is.

Yet, I feel that there's a huge group of us who fall in the middle. Who don't feel the need to make up our minds. Who've learned that deception is part of the world we were born into and there are many layers of it. Who've learned that when you find what FEELS like truth, there's not often a lot of tangible reasons for it, other than you've prayed on it and in your heart it feels right.

Who've realized that even then, sometimes new information comes into the picture and further expands that understanding.

Who've learned that sometimes it's best just to keep your mind open and operate out of love while we learn and absorb.

I am called to be a bridge and to be a voice for those in the middle, who are seeing both the spiritual and the tangible. 🌻💫

Here's a link back to the original post for convenience: https://news.1rj.ru/str/TruthRascalHQ/17862

I'll just expound on this a bit. I'm guessing that many of you know what we are talking about here. If you don't that's ok. You probably will see it soon because things are starting to come to a head. I've tried to explain for a long time - since the beginning here actually - that the different groups of people in this movement are actually not all that far off in their basic understandings of things, but for many, their learned dogma gets in the way of being able to see the other side.

Ash and I have known for a while that we have a job to do because of our unique perspectives and our experiences. God called us to speak out and he put us together which is wonderful. But we each walk our own path! We both KNOW that we have been called to help bridge the gap between groups that may not think alike and to help people along their journeys. Neither of us has everything figured out. Not by a long shot, but that's partly why we can be helpful. We're not shouting at you that we know what's up. At least I hope it doesn't feel that way to you. We are all learning and we each have our own paths to walk. For instance, she and I don't agree on every single thing. And that's ok. In fact, that's good! No one should be striving to "agree". We should be striving to UNDERSTAND. Or perhaps, INNERSTAND is a better word. And that happens in its own time.

We have to be ok with not knowing. We have to be ok with being wrong. We have to be ok with the search for the truth and not necessarily the end result because right now, people do not know what the end result is and I see a lot of folks trying really, really hard to get their information to fit into the box they think their end result lives in. Not such a good plan in my opinion. There are so, so many layers to the lies and deception that we've been inundated with. And NOTHING is sacred in that regard. It really isn't. Ya gotta have your big girl/boy pants on if you want to really figure stuff out. Get your ego out of the way and dig in. And I don't say that as if I've fully kicked mine to the curb. It rears its ugly head a lot. This is a PROCESS.

Lemme just say one more thing and then I'll shut up for the mo. When you feel something triggering you, making you angry or afraid, that is a HUGE sign that something is off. It's a place to dig in and examine what is going on and looking for the root. You are not meant to live in fear and shame. YOU'RE NOT! And I know that even saying that is enough to trigger many people. But it's not my job to worry about whether you're triggered. It's my job to help you notice that it's happening so you can look at it, ok?

I love you. I really do. I AM HERE TO HELP. (And so is @AshtheWarriorMom - I can say that for her because I know it's true.)

Now, go rock your day.
