Over on Instagram, we've been talking a lot about the term cultish, so let me elaborate on what I mean. By this, I’m referring to any foundational elements or teachings that turn your belief system inward against yourself.
It’s priming a power dynamic where you bring everything on yourself and someone else holds power over you. An external force has more authority and knowledge about your life than you do. That is never the case. Ever!
Others will have insights and see pieces you might not have. But you will always be the utmost authority on you.
What ends up happening is that your intuition and physical cues that something is amiss get tamped down little by little. It’s intentionally gradual. By the time every part of your being is screaming, “Get out of here!!!” you've stopped trusting those instincts altogether. Consequently, you’re even more stuck.
Many teaching these belief systems haven’t paused to realize just how insidious they are and that they are priming people to be controlled and doubt themselves. Questioning these teachings gets incredible blowback. All the more reason to keep peeling back the layers.
