No because we are free thinkers. For me to be part of a cult is to be controlled.

true. but sometimes being controlled is easy

@popmol: being controlled causes more pain in my experience. For example: I want to experience driving a race car. The 'cult' if I belonged to one, says absolutely not. I would become angry because something inside me wants that experience but the cult is against it. Do I forget about me and what my desires are, no.

That's just an example.

@Justpeaceandlove: I see it. But, I think is somehow more comfortable. They make the decission for you.

@twistermind: but are you happy with it.

@Justpeaceandlove: Yes. Do you remember the Cavern Myth. Only the one who takes a risk to look outside can reach the real happiness meanwhile you live in a reality that gives you a false picture of happiness.

@twistermind: I think everyone's idea of reality is in their own minds. If yours is different than mine, so be it, it doesn't make yours true and mine not. I think we have the power within us to create any reality we want. :)

@Justpeaceandlove: truth is a made up concept no one is ever completely true. no vision is completely true.

i think you have to look at like blissful ignorance. if you knew about every kind of food and what its made of to the 1% of spices you wouldn't eat most things because put all kinds of weird things in there.

same there. as long as they have the same idea you feel safe there and a false sense of happiness

@popmol: you do not know that to be true. :) we might not have all of the answers yet but we're getting there. It might take many more years for everyone to "wake up" or not or we could stay asleep for many more. I see people waking up faster than ever before in history. Although it could be I'm either delusional or others are.
