~One of the issues of great concern today in many religious or authoritarian groups is the process of Mind Control. The mind is incredibly powerful and incredibly complex. It has the ability to embrace our own lives and life itself. Research in Japan has documented that often, the brains of geniuses are larger in size than the average individual. Of particular note, is that the brains of those considered ruthless criminal master-minds, were that way as well. Genius may come in many forms, and used for what the public may consider good, as well as dubious purposes. There is no doubt that powerful minds have been used to do great things for humanity, but they have also been used to control, harm, manipulate and deceive. Sometimes it is our own mind, that seems to manipulate us. The power of suggestion and of illusion have been known for millenia. There is growing evidence, that many techniques of mental suggestion, and manipulation are employed by unscrupulous groups to control their membership.

~I am not trained in psychology and feel unqualified to address this issue in detail, especially considering that there is still not unified consensus from what I understand, even in the field of psychology itself. What I have read on the subject, though, is startling and provoking. Those who believe that Mind Control exists, and is employed to a dangerous degree in certain Destructive Cults, make a convincing case. Based on my own experiences as a former cult member, I can only testify that the qualities proposed as elements of the Mind Control theory, exist. I have witnessed them in force, and observed firsthand the loss of critical thought, that many cultists experience to differing levels. To what extent these processes effected me I am uncertain, but I recognize that the great majority of these tactics were used and implemented forcefully. I now realize why many of these things were done in the Moonies, and we should investigate them, be aware of them, and warn others about them.

~With this approach in mind, I will introduce briefly an outline of the various elements associated with what is called Mind Control and include links to articles from the experts. In fairness, I will also include links to articles critical of the theory of Mind Control. Of concern to many religions (even mainstream) is the threat they feel exists to freedom of religion by establishing the Mind Control theory, as an accepted model within psychology. While I understand the neccessity of protecting our religious freedoms, it is equally vital (if not more so) that our individual liberties are not violated. And so I hope that the community of professionals in the field of psychology will come to consensus on this critical issue. If Mind Control exists, and there is strong evidence that it does, than people are being robbed of the greatest freedom that we can hope to possess. Freedom of mind.

~In this section, you will find a Brief History of the origin and development of Mind Control Theories, information on Deprogramming and the often preferred Exit-Counseling, as well as vital links to other information on this very important issue. I have included links to sites on both sides of this subject for a balanced view.
