Cultish

 I often ask my spirit team to push videos to me.

There was a period of time I kept seeing videos on cults.

I wondered why.

I am not the type of person who seek out groups to join.

Intrigued, I watched the videos.

When we think of cults, it does not have to be those with communes and the like.

In a mild imperceptible form, we could be part of a cult.

My spirit team, help me with this.

With cults, you have to ask yourself specific questions.

The most glaring question to ask yourself is,

are you allowed to voice your views, views contradictory to the person you are following.

If it is a no, that is one of the biggest red flags.

As many teachers, gurus as there are today, many of them self professed,

with little to no training at all, this is an area to be wary of.

Especially since these teachers often take a few basic truths,

For instance, basic truths from ancient teachings or religion,

and built their own on it.

Believing in those basic truths, you find yourself believing everything they feed you.

It is akin to believing in the molehill, you swallow the mountain.

Another question to ask yourself is, does the person have specific teachings,

allowing no other, letting in no other.

It is only his or her belief system, anything else not admissible.

Does he or she ever admit to being wrong or mistaken?

Does he or she take well to criticism or gets on the offensive or defensive.

Humility, openness of mind, of spirit is key to genuineness.

With this, you have enough to gauge whether the person or groups you are following are cultish.

That is the term, cultish, not like cults per se but kind of like cults, cultish.
