Both cults and the occult are secret societies that offer enlightenment and even power to seekers willing to sacrifice at first just a little time and money.
Eventually, as people accept more and more nonsense, their minds can lose a grip on reality.
When this happens often they will begin to believe what their handlers tell them about how their real enemies are those who have known them the longest and most completely.
This leads these poor people to choose new “family” and “friends” who are inside the same controlled manipulative environment.
So, let’s accept our limitations and find strength and support in as broad and diverse a group of friends as possible.
Let’s not be afraid of different opinions or fear being honest saying we don’t know things.
And finally, let’s avoid trusting only people of a certain group because this can lead to an unhealthy distrust of others, especially those who may not think like us but still know the difference between sense and nonsense.
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
