9 – Secrets Of Mind Control

1
00:00:01,030 –> 00:00:02,566
Hello, I’m Chuck Smith.

2
00:00:02,698 –> 00:00:04,690
And I’m Carol Matriciana.

3
00:00:04,810 –> 00:00:08,550
Welcome to another edition of the Pagan Invasion.

4
00:00:08,990 –> 00:00:13,340
Today we’re going to look at the devastating effects of mind control.

5
00:00:14,030 –> 00:00:23,670
The ability of a charismatic and powerful leader to dramatically induce personality change in an individual, in a group, and even a nation.

6
00:00:24,170 –> 00:00:31,530
Thousands of cults exist worldwide today, and their proselytisation has now become all too familiar a sight.

7
00:00:31,970 –> 00:00:43,330
Unfortunately, the public is often unaware of the many emotional, psychological and spiritual dangers that cults in part to their millions of followers in England.

8
00:00:43,450 –> 00:00:50,420
For almost eight years, I had firsthand experience in dealing with the horrifying results of cult mind control.

9
00:00:51,290 –> 00:00:58,410
Over the years, I have personally spoken to hundreds of cult members and counseled cult victims and their families.

10
00:00:59,030 –> 00:01:03,930
Most times, ex members are left broken emotional and spiritual vessels.

11
00:01:04,310 –> 00:01:09,570
Their behavior is stifled with feelings of rejection, desperation, guilt and fear.

12
00:01:09,890 –> 00:01:15,270
Their moods swing erratically from depression to loneliness, confusion and anxiety.

13
00:01:15,890 –> 00:01:23,610
Often due to pitiful behavioral addiction to the cult members lives, health and jobs are destroyed.

14
00:01:24,530 –> 00:01:33,270
Emotional and physical abuse from the cult results in the exemper’s inability to make decisions, sleep normally, or concentrate.

15
00:01:33,590 –> 00:01:36,980
And coming out of a cult is never easy either.

16
00:01:37,370 –> 00:01:46,940
Many times, the commendable desire to do good to others, be a better person, or do more for God puts one in a position of being snared into a cult.

17
00:01:47,330 –> 00:01:57,980
The individual is completely unaware that he or she is being psychologically harmed, spiritually duped, and seduced by methods of mind control.

18
00:01:58,550 –> 00:02:06,238
Mind manipulation has become a finetuned art today and is practiced with finesse by aggressive salesmen.

19
00:02:06,394 –> 00:02:14,910
It is exploitatively applied at business and human potential seminars, and even on some socalled Christian TV programming.

20
00:02:15,950 –> 00:02:24,346
One of the most extraordinary examples of mass mind control that I have ever witnessed was during the filming of Fear is the Master.

21
00:02:24,538 –> 00:02:33,450
When we went into the late Guru Bhagwan Sri Rajnich’s cult and watched his devoted son Yasin submit to hypnotic meditation.

22
00:02:56,010 –> 00:02:58,958
His name is Bagwan shree Rajnish.

23
00:02:59,114 –> 00:03:07,510
He’s declared himself an enlightened master, and he’s the founder of what even he calls the religionless religion of Rajnishism.

24
00:03:10,630 –> 00:03:22,430
Because he’s promised these disciples as spiritual utopia, hundreds of thousands of them have willingly given up their lives to become submissive servants to the man they call Master.

25
00:03:23,050 –> 00:03:26,214
Americans watched him with growing apprehension.

26
00:03:26,382 –> 00:03:30,230
They had seen the tragic work of other manmade gods.

27
00:03:36,830 –> 00:03:44,850
Why? This man so twisted the minds of his followers that they killed themselves and their children in a monstrous mass suicide.

28
00:03:46,910 –> 00:03:57,860
Believing in Jim Jones promise of a spiritual utopia, the victims of this human disaster willingly sacrificed themselves to a man they believed was an enlightened living god.

29
00:04:00,050 –> 00:04:03,800
They called him dad, and their devotion was complete.

30
00:04:04,190 –> 00:04:06,490
You have saved my life so many times, dad.

31
00:04:06,610 –> 00:04:08,610
I would die for you right now, dad.

32
00:04:12,150 –> 00:04:24,422
For the love of Jim Jones and their commune family, death seemed an easy price to pay, even for the children I’m prepared to die for this family if I have to for freedom.

33
00:04:24,506 –> 00:04:25,510
Thank you, dad.

34
00:04:26,310 –> 00:04:32,218
In the next few hours, 911 of the faithful would swallow poison or be shot at.

35
00:04:32,244 –> 00:04:33,240
Dad’s order.

36
00:04:33,630 –> 00:04:37,334
Jones, without the courage to take poison himself, begged to be shot.

37
00:04:37,382 –> 00:04:42,646
Instead, he told his disciples that fascist government troops were coming to get them.

38
00:04:42,768 –> 00:04:43,838
There were no troops.

39
00:04:43,934 –> 00:04:51,262
But like Hitler before him, jones knew he could maintain control by creating an outside enemy and us against them.

40
00:04:51,336 –> 00:04:53,894
Atmosphere of fear and paranoia.

41
00:04:54,062 –> 00:04:57,494
Angrily, he had challenged the non existent enemy.

42
00:04:57,662 –> 00:05:06,550
If by any chance you would make a mistake to try to come in and take any one of us, we will not let you.

43
00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:07,574
You will die.

44
00:05:07,622 –> 00:05:10,750
You will have to take anybody over all of our dead bodies.

45
00:05:18,070 –> 00:05:24,100
Both Jones and Rajnich share inescapable parallels with another charismatic figure.

46
00:05:30,290 –> 00:05:34,830
The German people made Hitler a god without creating a religion.

47
00:05:35,690 –> 00:05:45,766
He became a messiah with his own twisted cross, a savior with his own holy book, a Pope with his own black priesthood.

48
00:05:45,958 –> 00:05:47,866
Like Rajnish and Jones.

49
00:05:47,938 –> 00:05:50,300
Hitler promised a utopian world.

50
00:05:51,170 –> 00:05:56,180
An entire society sacrificed their freedom and their lives to serve them.

51
00:06:06,090 –> 00:06:12,430
Both Hitler and Rajnish have advocated selective breeding and encouraged sterilization.

52
00:06:14,310 –> 00:06:23,050
The Fury dreamed of breeding a superior, master race, bringing death to those who stood in the way of his fantasy.

53
00:06:29,290 –> 00:06:34,914
As the man they called the spiritual teacher of the new Germany spun out his fanatic nightmare.

54
00:06:35,022 –> 00:06:43,780
He reminded us once again of a hard truth the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

55
00:06:56,210 –> 00:07:03,690
Even as one selfproclaimed God passed into history in Guyana, another was stepping forward to take his place in India.

56
00:07:12,810 –> 00:07:24,120
Often dissatisfied with their own lives and seeking a more meaningful spiritual experience, thousands of affluent Westerners traveled to India to see if God was really living there.

57
00:07:24,450 –> 00:07:27,190
Many stayed on to become sanyasin’s.

58
00:07:29,350 –> 00:07:34,046
Ekart Flutter, a former San Jasin from Germany, explains why.

59
00:07:34,228 –> 00:07:41,474
I believe some seek some kind of a spirituality which can be experienced and not just thought of.

60
00:07:41,632 –> 00:07:43,602
Some are in a crisis.

61
00:07:43,686 –> 00:07:47,430
Some are in the process of growing.

62
00:07:47,610 –> 00:07:50,118
Some have authority conflicts.

63
00:07:50,274 –> 00:07:52,670
Another ex San Yasin American.

64
00:07:52,780 –> 00:07:55,590
Rosalind Smith tells what she observed.

65
00:07:55,710 –> 00:07:59,390
There are multiple reasons why people are attracted to Rajnich.

66
00:08:00,010 –> 00:08:06,854
I met many people who were going through their midlife crisis who felt a disillusionment with their work.

67
00:08:07,012 –> 00:08:11,430
They sought a new ideal, a new sense of fulfillment.

68
00:08:11,610 –> 00:08:12,062
Dr.

69
00:08:12,136 –> 00:08:16,430
John Walley, a successful Midwestern physician, was one of these.

70
00:08:16,600 –> 00:08:18,222
I was a workaholic.

71
00:08:18,366 –> 00:08:19,826
I made a lot of money.

72
00:08:20,008 –> 00:08:24,882
I had my share of fame and recognition.

73
00:08:24,966 –> 00:08:28,720
And it seemed like the more I got, the less satisfying it was.

74
00:08:29,350 –> 00:08:41,022
While many came seeking to fill a spiritual vacuum in their lives, many others came because they’d heard that Rajanish encouraged unrestricted sex as a path to spiritual enlightenment.

75
00:08:41,166 –> 00:08:45,100
The attraction for sex is attraction for God.

76
00:08:46,090 –> 00:08:56,620
People are encouraged to have sex with everybody in the group, even male with male, female with female, and especially with those people you don’t like at all.

77
00:08:57,070 –> 00:09:03,978
If selfindulgent promiscuity could be rationalized as a search for God, it still had unhappy side effects.

78
00:09:04,134 –> 00:09:12,630
People have been sexually and physically abused despite abortions, sterilization and rampant venereal disease.

79
00:09:12,750 –> 00:09:19,334
New Salia, Athens were pushed on through intense physical and emotional experiences in rapid fire organ.

80
00:09:19,492 –> 00:09:21,890
Rajnich called it therapy.

81
00:09:24,350 –> 00:09:29,790
Many of the so called therapy groups were nothing more than uncontrolled experiments.

82
00:09:32,190 –> 00:09:49,150
He drew the major portion of the professionals in Puna, India, from the mental health profession psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric social workers, people who were very interested in his experimentations with psychotherapy.

83
00:09:49,830 –> 00:09:57,070
In the Puna workshop, what was labeled psychotherapy appeared to be nothing more than carefully manipulated sadism.

84
00:09:57,510 –> 00:10:00,506
In workshops, everything was encouraged.

85
00:10:00,578 –> 00:10:01,550
Beside murder.

86
00:10:01,670 –> 00:10:04,766
I have such people breaking their ribs.

87
00:10:04,898 –> 00:10:07,694
I have seen broken arms, I have been broken legs.

88
00:10:07,802 –> 00:10:09,566
People died in workshops.

89
00:10:09,698 –> 00:10:11,942
A lot of people ended up in mental hospitals.

90
00:10:11,966 –> 00:10:13,514
After this kind of workshop.

91
00:10:13,622 –> 00:10:17,890
Some personal acquaintances of mine even committed suicide.

92
00:10:18,810 –> 00:10:32,580
What would happen is these people would go through these groups in the name of releasing emotion to facilitate their growth, and they would be hooked by Rajnish’s belief system at their most vulnerable moment.

93
00:10:33,450 –> 00:10:44,126
I can help you only if I destroy if I destroy your past, your knowledge, your ideas, your conditioning, your personality.

94
00:10:44,318 –> 00:10:48,490
Only by destroying you I can give you a new birth.

95
00:10:49,350 –> 00:10:50,770
His word is absolute.

96
00:10:50,940 –> 00:10:51,542
Potentially.

97
00:10:51,626 –> 00:10:52,994
This is very dangerous.

98
00:10:53,102 –> 00:10:54,734
Their morality is undermined.

99
00:10:54,782 –> 00:10:56,986
They will do as they’re told to do.

100
00:10:57,048 –> 00:10:59,950
They no longer have their own individual conscience.

101
00:11:02,790 –> 00:11:08,950
I have seen people becoming apathetic, insane, committed suicide, people that are new.

102
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:19,320
Very closely, I have dealt with a number of people who have tried to come back to real life, but they could not.

103
00:11:21,150 –> 00:11:26,950
This is the diary of a mind gone mad in pursuit of the Rajnich path to enlightenment.

104
00:11:28,230 –> 00:11:35,110
A tormented story of mental degeneration, it ended in a tragic suicide.

105
00:11:36,150 –> 00:11:47,940
Some people who were dying in workshops or shortly after workshops, they were all grommeted afterwards without any investigation so that no record is available for the public.

106
00:11:49,470 –> 00:11:54,470
Those who manage to survive the process seemed to exist in a state of euphoria.

107
00:12:03,790 –> 00:12:12,938
through his therapy and through the meditations, found a way to make his followers dependent on him on a psychological level.

108
00:12:13,024 –> 00:12:17,990
So the power he has over people is a deep psychic dependency.

109
00:12:22,130 –> 00:12:29,610
Rajnish says his goal is to create a new man, one who is happily mindless.

110
00:12:40,410 –> 00:12:48,850
Adoring San Jacintz continued to stream into the Puna ashram, to have their minds erased and leave their money at the feet of the master.

111
00:12:50,730 –> 00:13:01,390
A never ending river of dollars, pounds and marks flowed into the coffers of the Rajnish Foundation, a charitable entity set up to protect the ashram from paying taxes.

112
00:13:02,730 –> 00:13:09,000
Rajnish lives well even for a god and for Grant, says I’m a very simple man.

113
00:13:09,450 –> 00:13:11,340
I like the best of everything.

114
00:13:12,690 –> 00:13:14,342
I believe in luxury.

115
00:13:14,486 –> 00:13:21,180
If I cannot make everybody to live in luxury, at least I can manage to live myself.

116
00:13:23,830 –> 00:13:30,470
While new cars may be symbolic of a guru’s success, his most precious possessions are his disciples.

117
00:13:31,510 –> 00:13:35,510
Everything possible is done to ensure their continued devotion.

118
00:13:35,830 –> 00:13:49,120
To strengthen the group identity, san Jacinta are required at all times to dress in approved shades of red and to wear a mala, a beaded necklace bearing a medallion with a photograph of Rajnich in it.

119
00:13:52,850 –> 00:13:58,400
Old names are discarded, and they are given new names to further disassociate them from their past.

120
00:13:59,570 –> 00:14:04,170
Sun Yasens are encouraged to break all ties with former friends and family.

121
00:14:04,340 –> 00:14:07,734
A new, instant family stands ready to replace them.

122
00:14:07,892 –> 00:14:12,390
Breaking with the family may seem hard, but it’s a major Rajnich theme.

123
00:14:12,770 –> 00:14:16,362
I teach the commune, not the family.

124
00:14:16,556 –> 00:14:28,170
The family is the unit of the nation, of the state, of the church, of all that is ugly.

125
00:14:29,390 –> 00:14:35,302
The group’s ability to attract the wealthy and gullible has made them a legend in guru circles.

126
00:14:35,446 –> 00:14:40,940
Each new disciple is rated for their anticipated future income or political value.

127
00:14:41,270 –> 00:14:49,590
A prize catch for Rajnich is Stuart Kirkpatrick, whose mother is Jean Kirkpatrick, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

128
00:14:50,030 –> 00:14:55,590
The wealthy and the children of the wealthy, who have trust funds, are pressed to make large donations.

129
00:14:56,030 –> 00:15:00,500
Others, like Shannon Joe Ryan, are used to solicit political support.

130
00:15:00,950 –> 00:15:01,498
Shannon.

131
00:15:01,534 –> 00:15:08,818
Joe Ryan’s father, Congressman Leo Ryan, was murdered at Jonestown today as Mamrita preta.

132
00:15:08,914 –> 00:15:13,546
She seems oblivious to any similarity between her master and Jim Jones.

133
00:15:13,678 –> 00:15:15,838
Her description of Rajini is chilling.

134
00:15:15,874 –> 00:15:23,322
To those who heard the residence of Jonestown speak of their master, it’s hard to describe what he is.

135
00:15:23,336 –> 00:15:24,762
I just love him so much.

136
00:15:24,896 –> 00:15:31,494
I can see through him existence in a different way that I didn’t understand it before.

137
00:15:31,652 –> 00:15:32,818
Just incredible beauty.

138
00:15:32,854 –> 00:15:37,820
I just feel it when he’s around and I just want to be near him.

139
00:15:38,510 –> 00:15:40,580
I do anything that he asked me to.

140
00:15:48,490 –> 00:15:54,950
Hank Hannograph is the president of the Christian Research Institute, headquartered in Southern California.

141
00:15:55,330 –> 00:15:59,080
I asked him to discuss some of the secrets of mind control.

142
00:15:59,590 –> 00:16:05,418
We hear the persuasive talents of mass mind controllers like Adolf Hitler, Jim Jones, and Bugwan Sri.

143
00:16:05,454 –> 00:16:16,038
Rajnish, how do you define such mind control? First of all, a cult will control a person’s life in virtually every single dimension.

144
00:16:16,194 –> 00:16:20,920
An individual or a group of individuals control what a person does.

145
00:16:21,310 –> 00:16:23,438
They control what they do.

146
00:16:23,584 –> 00:16:25,574
They control what they believe.

147
00:16:25,732 –> 00:16:27,590
They control what they even say.

148
00:16:27,700 –> 00:16:34,386
In a theological standpoint, a cult leader will control what an individual believes.

149
00:16:34,518 –> 00:16:41,980
In other words, they will do the thinking for the individual, as opposed to the individual doing the thinking for themselves.

150
00:16:42,790 –> 00:16:53,702
The guru in Oregon, Rajnish, how do you think he had the power to manipulate the mass of followers that he had? Well, he sets himself first up as an authoritarian figure.

151
00:16:53,776 –> 00:17:00,458
He sets himself up as not only a spokesman for God, but in fact a God.

152
00:17:00,544 –> 00:17:03,806
And so people look to him as an authority figure.

153
00:17:03,928 –> 00:17:05,838
People want to look to an authority.

154
00:17:05,994 –> 00:17:08,202
They want to be controlled to some degree.

155
00:17:08,286 –> 00:17:10,970
But he controls them through a number of different means.

156
00:17:11,080 –> 00:17:17,334
All these false prophets do in one way or another they control you by manipulation.

157
00:17:17,502 –> 00:17:25,060
They do massive miracles which make them appear as though they have god’s power.

158
00:17:25,630 –> 00:17:29,750
Many times they are literally being used by demonic forces.

159
00:17:30,070 –> 00:17:37,466
But through these miracles they set themselves up as an example, as an authority, as the spokesman for God.

160
00:17:37,588 –> 00:17:43,670
They also control people through the whole concept of fear.

161
00:17:43,990 –> 00:17:46,634
They, bottom line, get the goods on people.

162
00:17:46,792 –> 00:18:12,398
And if you want to get out of the control of these masters, what you have to do is try to leave and still be able to leave with your dignity intact, which is very difficult to do because they begin to know everything about you and the minute you want to leave they begin to say if you leave, we’ve got some things that we can say.

163
00:18:12,544 –> 00:18:28,178
How is mind control used and do you think it is being used to condition the masses today? Well, I think it is to some degree mind control is being used to condition people to believe that they in fact are God.

164
00:18:28,324 –> 00:18:36,366
The twin doctrines of the New Age movement, for example, are that you are God and you control your own reality.

165
00:18:36,558 –> 00:18:53,586
The other way in which mind control is being used is that people are being conditioned to believe that someone is going to appear on the world scene and this person is going to be able to bring together a state of utopia for Earth.

166
00:18:53,718 –> 00:18:56,606
We hear today, for example, of a New World Order.

167
00:18:56,668 –> 00:18:59,282
We even hear George Bush talking about it.

168
00:18:59,296 –> 00:19:15,318
Now, I’m not thinking about this in a conspiratorial sense, but I am thinking about it in the sense that George Bush and many who follow this whole concept of a New World Order believe that one day we are going to be able to eradicate terrorism.

169
00:19:15,354 –> 00:19:21,170
We’re going to be able to eradicate problems within the world of all kinds.

170
00:19:21,670 –> 00:19:25,754
There no longer will be the renegade nations involved in the world.

171
00:19:25,792 –> 00:19:30,974
We’re going to be able to control all of that through a New World Order and we’re going to have peace among men.

172
00:19:31,072 –> 00:19:34,242
Well, the Bible says the exact opposite.

173
00:19:34,326 –> 00:19:42,842
It says that this conditioning where we will expect a great leader will happen but it will not produce peace among men.

174
00:19:42,976 –> 00:19:48,254
The only time that there will be a New World Order is when Jesus Christ establishes that.

175
00:19:48,352 –> 00:19:56,162
So that New Order, which we’re being conditioned for now is not going to be established in this world, but in the world to come.

176
00:19:56,356 –> 00:19:59,020
No person is immune to mind control.

177
00:19:59,530 –> 00:20:04,110
Christians, unfortunately, are just as susceptible as nonchristians.

178
00:20:04,290 –> 00:20:14,030
According to recent reports, a sizeable proportion of those involved in cults or extremist groups come from some type of an evangelical background.

179
00:20:20,210 –> 00:20:26,218
Life at the ranch was not the loving, laughing, dancing utopia described in the press releases.

180
00:20:26,374 –> 00:20:32,010
They are so tightly controlled, they are not allowed to have private telephone conversations.

181
00:20:32,450 –> 00:20:42,846
The people that are in the lower class, which most of the people on the ranch are in that category, if they want to leave, they couldn’t leave because they don’t have enough money to go home on.

182
00:20:43,028 –> 00:20:45,310
They’re like a slave.

183
00:20:45,490 –> 00:20:49,760
They’ve been extricated from many ties with friends or family on the outside.

184
00:20:50,090 –> 00:21:02,070
So it’s very terrifying to them to have to leave there because economically and emotionally they are bankrupt without Rajnich pure.

185
00:21:02,870 –> 00:21:10,820
If you were in the hierarchy on the ranch, you got to dress in brand new clothes, you got the best of everything.

186
00:21:11,210 –> 00:21:16,220
And if you were a labor, in my opinion, you got treated like a dog.

187
00:21:16,610 –> 00:21:28,086
It was my first experience of being like in a communist state where people have to work long, arduous hours from twelve to 18 hours a day, no days off.

188
00:21:28,208 –> 00:21:31,858
They have very crowded working conditions and living conditions.

189
00:21:31,894 –> 00:21:34,662
There’s no time for questioning any policy.

190
00:21:34,856 –> 00:21:41,180
Most of the people on the ranch, the working class, were forever breaking down.

191
00:21:42,050 –> 00:21:44,458
They were mentally fatigued.

192
00:21:44,554 –> 00:21:47,370
They just couldn’t keep up with the constant pressure.

193
00:21:48,350 –> 00:21:50,526
Either do good or you’re going to have to leave.

194
00:21:50,588 –> 00:21:54,406
We got to get this done, do it and be positive.

195
00:21:54,478 –> 00:21:57,030
If you’re negative, we can’t put up with that.

196
00:21:57,200 –> 00:22:00,870
Sheila has a different picture of life and work at the ranch.

197
00:22:01,190 –> 00:22:05,434
The work has been made into worship here at the ranch.

198
00:22:05,482 –> 00:22:12,486
We work sometimes 20 hours a day, and still at the end of the day we are laughing at a good time.

199
00:22:12,668 –> 00:22:17,970
If the worship of San Jacin is not having a good time, he had better keep it to himself.

200
00:22:19,190 –> 00:22:24,586
They had very intricate spy system among themselves on the ranch.

201
00:22:24,778 –> 00:22:26,806
We referred to them as Snitches.

202
00:22:26,938 –> 00:22:28,522
They relate back to Sheila.

203
00:22:28,546 –> 00:22:35,370
If you said any little thing wrong because they didn’t like negativity getting started, they didn’t like rumors.

204
00:22:35,870 –> 00:22:42,140
Therefore, the more you told on people, it seemed like the higher up in the scale you went.

205
00:22:42,830 –> 00:22:51,826
If you were in the higher group on the ranch and you wanted to have sex with somebody, that was just a commoner on the ranch of labor, and they refused.

206
00:22:51,958 –> 00:22:55,170
They could get in trouble for that because it would be being negative.

207
00:22:55,550 –> 00:22:58,760
So it was either but up or get out.

208
00:23:00,290 –> 00:23:04,390
Few Sanyasans questioned the authority of the Ashram hierarchy.

209
00:23:04,510 –> 00:23:09,570
Overwork and poor nutrition combined to create a docile and submissive workforce.

210
00:23:10,430 –> 00:23:13,710
But the Rajnish system goes one step further.

211
00:23:30,510 –> 00:23:33,010
This is called dynamic meditation.

212
00:23:40,990 –> 00:23:47,090
This violent frenzy continues on and on, creating a mind altering form of hyperventilation.

213
00:24:04,010 –> 00:24:10,760
done with regularity techniques such as this can dull the critical thought process for extended periods of time.

214
00:24:19,950 –> 00:24:26,460
We are witnessing a key step in the creation of the Rajin’s ideal mindless man.

215
00:24:30,430 –> 00:24:33,650
Some of the people, like, they go into a trance.

216
00:24:34,390 –> 00:24:36,940
They lose all connection with anybody else.

217
00:24:37,690 –> 00:24:41,320
When Boguan goes by, some of them actually pass out.

218
00:24:42,070 –> 00:24:46,070
Some of them jump up and down, and most of them start bawling.

219
00:24:46,570 –> 00:24:50,020
Some of the people on the ranch, they’re like, they’re crazy.

220
00:24:50,470 –> 00:24:51,940
They wander around.

221
00:24:52,330 –> 00:24:54,914
They look like a zombie most of the time.

222
00:24:55,072 –> 00:25:02,450
You have to understand, people are not spacing out on drugs or alcohol or any hallucinate.

223
00:25:03,190 –> 00:25:04,586
They’re just happy.

224
00:25:04,708 –> 00:25:06,410
They’re just overwhelmed.

225
00:25:09,230 –> 00:25:17,046
It’s so frustrating to me to hear somebody say that they’re not concerned for the people there because all they have to do is walk out if they want to.

226
00:25:17,168 –> 00:25:27,834
People don’t realize the power, the magnitude of mind control that these people are made to feel that they’re worthless, that they can’t make it on the outside world.

227
00:25:27,992 –> 00:25:30,570
They’re totally dependent on Rajnich.

228
00:25:36,990 –> 00:25:42,158
You mentioned earlier that today’s conditioning was based more on experience rather than doctrine.

229
00:25:42,254 –> 00:25:51,670
Could you explain that? We hear about a concept called esotericism, and that is the belief that reality can be reduced to a personal experience of enlightenment.

230
00:25:52,230 –> 00:26:06,490
This is information that is being given to us through sources which most often are demonic because Satan ultimately wants us to encounter him and think we’re in touch with the living God.

231
00:26:06,540 –> 00:26:10,750
What we’re talking about is a counterfeit conversion.

232
00:26:11,130 –> 00:26:23,542
What weaknesses would you say today foster apostasy in the church? I think one of the primary weaknesses that fosters apostasy in the church is the whole concept of revelation knowledge and experience.

233
00:26:23,736 –> 00:26:33,900
In other words, information, first of all, that bypasses the mind or the cognitive thinking process and go straight to the spirit of an individual.

234
00:26:34,230 –> 00:26:46,690
In other words, people today believe that they can get direct information from God into their spirit, and this information can run contrary to what the Bible says.

235
00:26:46,860 –> 00:26:50,138
I think today people are basically biblically illiterate.

236
00:26:50,234 –> 00:26:51,554
They don’t know doctrine.

237
00:26:51,602 –> 00:26:57,194
They don’t have a frame of reference because they don’t understand the essentials of the historic Christian faith.

238
00:26:57,302 –> 00:27:04,114
And therefore, so often prophets will come to them and they will say, God told me this or that.

239
00:27:04,212 –> 00:27:12,418
Now, that revelation knowledge can be completely contrary to the canon of Scripture, but people don’t know it because they don’t know the word of God.

240
00:27:12,564 –> 00:27:20,498
So I think one of the primary weaknesses in the church today is that Christians don’t understand essential Christian doctrine.

241
00:27:20,594 –> 00:27:28,522
They don’t know what the Bible says, so that they can easily be duped through these prophets who claim to have revelation knowledge direct from God.

242
00:27:28,596 –> 00:27:48,274
I think also that so many Christians are duped through experience, and we are to test all of our experiences, in fact, test all things by the word of God and hold on to what is true, because the Bible says that there were false prophets among the people in biblical times, but there will also be false teachers among us today.

243
00:27:48,372 –> 00:27:55,126
They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Sovereign Lord who bought them.

244
00:27:55,248 –> 00:28:00,482
Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute in their greed.

245
00:28:00,566 –> 00:28:04,320
The Bible says these teachers are going to exploit you with stories they have made up.

246
00:28:04,770 –> 00:28:10,202
These people will give you a story based on revelation knowledge.

247
00:28:10,346 –> 00:28:15,506
Now, they’re either being tricked by their own minds or they’re listening to lying spirits.

248
00:28:15,578 –> 00:28:22,226
Either way, they’re deceiving people into following false doctrines.

249
00:28:22,298 –> 00:28:27,014
And in many cases, these false doctrines come directly out of the metaphysical cults.

250
00:28:27,182 –> 00:28:39,370
Or they can even be as aberrant as affirming the essential tenets of the New age movement or even old age pagan Hinduism.

251
00:28:39,810 –> 00:28:50,242
Are there any eternal or temporal dangers in being persuaded by these doctrines? The basic problem is that people begin looking to themselves.

252
00:28:50,376 –> 00:28:52,570
The focus is not on Christ.

253
00:28:52,680 –> 00:29:06,086
It is not on a new heaven and a new earth where indwells righteousness, but it is a gospel of greed which manipulates a person to focus in on what they can get out of Christianity.

254
00:29:06,158 –> 00:29:12,310
In other words, Jesus Christ becomes a means to an end as opposed to being the end.

255
00:29:12,420 –> 00:29:16,750
People turn on to Jesus Christ because of what he will do for them.

256
00:29:16,860 –> 00:29:22,694
They come to the master’s table not because they love the Master, but because of what is on the Master’s table.

257
00:29:22,742 –> 00:29:23,854
I like what Spurgeon said.

258
00:29:23,892 –> 00:29:26,954
He said the old covenant was a covenant of prosperity.

259
00:29:27,002 –> 00:29:32,782
The new covenant is a covenant of adversity whereby we are being weaned from the present world.

260
00:29:32,856 –> 00:29:40,270
Christianity is diametrically opposite to what is being pervaded by these false prophets.

261
00:29:40,830 –> 00:29:46,070
Christianity says life is a vapor here today, gone tomorrow, looked to eternity.

262
00:29:46,130 –> 00:29:47,510
You are so generous.

263
00:29:47,630 –> 00:29:49,210
This is not your home.

264
00:29:49,380 –> 00:29:51,674
Your dwelling place is another kingdom.

265
00:29:51,842 –> 00:29:57,550
One of the most tragic results experienced by ex culp members is a faith crisis.

266
00:29:57,930 –> 00:30:03,000
Many become so burnt out that they are just not interested in trying to find God again.

267
00:30:03,330 –> 00:30:09,190
The spiritual casualties of mind control are truly heartbreaking and devastating.

268
00:30:16,870 –> 00:30:22,490
In 1982, the Rajnishis staged their first annual world celebration.

269
00:30:24,070 –> 00:30:27,410
With the crowd came the first signs of anxiety.

270
00:30:28,750 –> 00:30:33,390
Steve Sobel was hired to provide a security force of trained experts.

271
00:30:33,570 –> 00:30:48,050
They wanted the show of force so that anyone who had the idea that possibly assassinate Bhagwan or do harm to him would not think about it so readily if he saw the weapons that we had.

272
00:30:48,220 –> 00:30:52,038
Rajnich already had trained bodyguards brought from India.

273
00:30:52,194 –> 00:30:59,260
Most of them are what’s called samurai, and they’ve been trained in martial arts to kill people with their bare hands.

274
00:31:01,450 –> 00:31:06,160
Protection for Rajnich was not the only thing Sobel’s men were asked to provide.

275
00:31:06,730 –> 00:31:21,760
They definitely were very interested when I was there in the use and the tactical use of instinctive shooting of certain things that one learns in the military was the Rajnich hierarchy looking toward the future.

276
00:31:23,710 –> 00:31:31,382
If it’s necessary for our peace, for our safety, for our survival to take over the county government of this county, then of course we’ll do it.

277
00:31:31,576 –> 00:31:38,750
Like those who chose to follow Hitler and Jones, the Rajnishis have surrendered their identities and their judgment to the master.

278
00:31:39,790 –> 00:31:45,170
All they have left is a deep emotional identification with Rajnich and the commune.

279
00:31:53,750 –> 00:31:59,790
When the commune appears strong, their master appears omnipotent, their surrender justify.

280
00:32:00,350 –> 00:32:08,662
But as time goes by, more and more ex san Yasens are coming forward with ugly revelations of abuse, suffering and crime.

281
00:32:08,806 –> 00:32:13,830
The vision of paradise is melting away and with it the credibility of the monster.

282
00:32:14,390 –> 00:32:24,510
The Rajnishis are being faced with the terrible possibility that they have sacrificed their lives, their careers and their children for the empty promises of a clever opportunist.

283
00:32:24,890 –> 00:32:26,386
Like Hitler and Jones.

284
00:32:26,458 –> 00:32:30,740
Ashram leaders have begun to use fear and hate to unify their people.

285
00:32:31,190 –> 00:32:32,050
Of Hitler.

286
00:32:32,110 –> 00:32:44,060
An admiring Rajnich has said, he writes in his autobiography, Men Camp, that people are not united because of love.

287
00:32:44,990 –> 00:32:46,760
Love has no power.

288
00:32:47,870 –> 00:32:50,610
All power comes through hatred.

289
00:32:51,410 –> 00:32:54,380
Create hatred and they will become united.

290
00:32:55,490 –> 00:33:00,330
And I can fully understand his insight.

291
00:33:05,850 –> 00:33:12,130
In a world well acquainted with the rhetoric of religious terrorism, the guru’s words have a familiar ring.

292
00:33:12,990 –> 00:33:18,070
They have a paramilitary preparation that is frightening.

293
00:33:19,530 –> 00:33:28,800
The most fundamental rule of this violent life is all means are good if they fulfill the end.

294
00:33:29,730 –> 00:33:39,490
And of course, rather than arguing it is better to pull the soul, it decides things immediately.

295
00:33:40,110 –> 00:33:44,820
It is easier to fight with a person and decide who is right.

296
00:33:45,450 –> 00:33:47,160
Might is right.

297
00:33:48,150 –> 00:33:52,090
That rule still remains the rule of the jungle.

298
00:33:52,890 –> 00:33:55,740
He could tell them to do anything and they would do it.

299
00:33:56,610 –> 00:33:58,510
It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong.

300
00:33:58,560 –> 00:33:59,686
There is no right or wrong.

301
00:33:59,748 –> 00:34:02,280
It is right if they say it’s right.

302
00:34:02,970 –> 00:34:06,470
Fear and hate, guilt and paranoia.

303
00:34:06,650 –> 00:34:09,540
The unstable ingredients of mind control.

304
00:34:10,050 –> 00:34:22,800
In Berlin, in Jonestown, in Rajnish pura, it’s clear the morality of the man made God provides only one answer upon which we may depend.

305
00:34:23,850 –> 00:34:27,910
All means are good is to fulfill the ends.

306
00:34:33,970 –> 00:34:35,034
You will die.

307
00:34:35,082 –> 00:34:38,210
You will have to take anybody over all of our dead bodies.

308
00:34:38,770 –> 00:34:40,420
Might is right.

309
00:35:59,830 –> 00:36:08,586
And as we’ve seen, the unstable ingredients of mind control begin with fear and end with hatred.

310
00:36:08,658 –> 00:36:13,302
Interestingly enough, you can remember those ingredients through the acronym Flesh.

311
00:36:13,386 –> 00:36:17,574
Flesh F, of course, stands for fear.

312
00:36:17,682 –> 00:36:20,070
And fear is the ultimate master.

313
00:36:20,190 –> 00:36:26,354
We’re talking here not only about a physical fear, but a psychological fear as well.

314
00:36:26,512 –> 00:36:33,542
We’re talking about the intimidation tactics of the group to control you in virtually every dimension of your life.

315
00:36:33,676 –> 00:36:37,274
The L in the acronym Flesh stands for love.

316
00:36:37,312 –> 00:36:45,798
And what we’re talking about here is a displaced love, a love for the guru and the group that creates psychological dependency.

317
00:36:45,894 –> 00:36:56,994
It was ironic, I think, to see Shannon Joe Ryan, the daughter of Leo Ryan, who was shot while investigating the Massacre of Jonestown actually say about Bhagwan.

318
00:36:57,042 –> 00:37:02,030
Sriraj niche? I love him so much, I can see through him existence in a different way.

319
00:37:02,080 –> 00:37:03,642
She said, I see incredible beauty.

320
00:37:03,666 –> 00:37:04,646
I want to be near him.

321
00:37:04,708 –> 00:37:06,842
I do anything he asked me to do.

322
00:37:06,976 –> 00:37:13,422
This is what we’re talking about when we begin to love the leader of a group as opposed to the Lord of the universe.

323
00:37:13,506 –> 00:37:17,538
Well, the E in the acronym Flesh stands for emptiness.

324
00:37:17,694 –> 00:37:18,462
As Bhagwan.

325
00:37:18,486 –> 00:37:20,114
Sriraj niece clearly told us.

326
00:37:20,152 –> 00:37:25,026
The goal is to create a new man, one who is happily mindless.

327
00:37:25,098 –> 00:37:31,910
So they try to empty the mind through altered states of consciousness, through hypnotic meditation.

328
00:37:32,350 –> 00:37:39,880
They tried to create a blank tablet on which Satan can write his deadly message.

329
00:37:40,570 –> 00:37:46,026
The S in the Acrostic, where the acronym Flesh stands for sex.

330
00:37:46,158 –> 00:37:52,754
And here we’re talking about an attraction for sex rather than attraction for God.

331
00:37:52,852 –> 00:37:58,134
Sexual manipulation is a mind control technique by gurus.

332
00:37:58,242 –> 00:38:09,378
They either deprive you of sex, as is common with the moonies or the hard Krishna’s, or they create an environment of free sex, as we’ve seen in the ashram of Bhagwan.

333
00:38:09,414 –> 00:38:12,998
Sriraj niche, or by cults like the Children of God.

334
00:38:13,144 –> 00:38:14,414
And then the h.

335
00:38:14,572 –> 00:38:18,530
The h, the acronym stands for hatred.

336
00:38:19,090 –> 00:38:22,898
Hatred becomes the key, not love.

337
00:38:22,984 –> 00:38:24,942
Love has no power, said Hitler.

338
00:38:25,026 –> 00:38:26,706
All power comes through hatred.

339
00:38:26,778 –> 00:38:29,030
Create hatred and we become united.

340
00:38:29,140 –> 00:38:33,554
And this is how, as we’ve seen, jim Jones controlled his people.

341
00:38:33,652 –> 00:38:35,702
He created a straw man.

342
00:38:35,896 –> 00:38:42,326
And he angrily denounced this straw man as the fascist government who was out to get them.

343
00:38:42,508 –> 00:38:49,890
And in that way he galvanized his people into a cohesive group that was going to fight the common enemy.

344
00:38:49,950 –> 00:38:53,510
So hatred the last key to mind control.

345
00:38:53,680 –> 00:39:01,310
Paul told us not to walk according to the deeds of the flesh, but rather according to the deeds of the spirit.

346
00:39:02,770 –> 00:39:16,060
Paul the apostle encouraged us to let the mind be in us, which was also in Christ Jesus in another place, he said, for we have the mind of Christ.

347
00:39:16,870 –> 00:39:22,910
It is important that our minds be governed and directed by the Holy Spirit.

348
00:39:23,410 –> 00:39:28,240
There are many people out there who are willing to twist your mind.

349
00:39:28,690 –> 00:39:33,858
They will bring you into false concepts and false doctrines.

350
00:39:34,014 –> 00:39:41,030
The Bible warns about those shepherds who feed themselves and not the flock.

351
00:39:41,410 –> 00:39:49,060
Beware of any kind of doctrine that would elevate you to the state of being God.

352
00:39:49,570 –> 00:39:55,926
Beware of that kind of faith that people say you can exercise.

353
00:39:55,998 –> 00:40:18,462
As God exercised faith in creating realities, it is important that we have that mind of Christ which was in reality that of surrendering Himself and submitting himself unto the will of God, and not trying to exalt or elevate Himself.

354
00:40:18,546 –> 00:40:23,046
God did that after he surrendered himself.

355
00:40:23,238 –> 00:40:29,800
The true God can do anything, but we are his servants and in subjection to him.

356
00:40:30,670 –> 00:40:33,906
Within all of us, there is a Godshaped vacuum.

357
00:40:34,098 –> 00:40:35,618
Throughout the ages, man has.

358
00:40:35,644 –> 00:40:38,882
Attempted to fill that void with the things of the world.

359
00:40:39,076 –> 00:40:45,942
But it is only through a relationship with our creator that we can be truly sacrificed.

360
00:40:46,086 –> 00:40:50,702
His holy scriptures revealed a way in which we can be reconciled to God.

361
00:40:50,836 –> 00:40:54,820
And that is through the provisions of his son, Jesus Christ.

362
00:40:56,290 –> 00:40:57,618
I’m Chuck Smith.

363
00:40:57,774 –> 00:40:59,766
And I’m Carol Patriciana.

364
00:40:59,898 –> 00:41:03,150
Join us again for another edition of the Pagan invasion.
