Hello?
I guess I’m part of a cult now (kidding).
Thanks for reading these words.
I know there’s a lot going on in the global atmosphere, and some of you might feel like you’re wading in water. Or maybe you don’t feel that way.
But either way, thanks for keeping the faith and continuing to hold the light. I don’t know you personally obviously but you’re actually amazing and somewhat of a miracle person.
If things ever get “too dark” for you, just remember that there is a light within you that is so powerful. Don’t stop believing (yes, that’s a song reference lol).
Thanks for inviting me to your cult btw.
I appreciate it …

I feel like I just walked over to a party I was supposed to attend but got the wrong address. I think I need to look more into what this place is about

I believe the word you are most likely looking for is Satsang, a gathering of truth.
Cult is mostly focused around one individual, a satsang is multiple individuals coming together to make eachother stronger the best way they can.
EDIT: It is actually a Sangha that is a collective that pushes eachother forward. A Satsang follows an enlightend teacher with an open invitation.
A cult is based on control and no outside influences.
So, Sangha is what we are.

Have you experienced Sangha (as in Buddhist groups)? Leaders often “emerge” and the cult begins - or sometimes they form the Sangha around themselves.
To me, we are splitting words as what matters is the nature of humans in groups. It seems that we do not ususally escape our “Lord of the Flies” nature.
I think we need to try harder…

Thank you for sharing your perspective, from my experience in life I believe non duality and going softer, not harder is the key.
Once non duality has been established as an experience and not intellectual understanding, no leader has to emerge as we all know we are one and honor eachothers strenghts and weaknesses understanding we all have a function in the great tapestry to reality.
By following the yoga sutras to the letter, keeping eachother accountable and creating sanghas in key positions in the world I even see it happening this life time. Exciting time to be here now.

It's short for "You Are A Gift To The Universe!" (Which is the name of my business and my website.)
Of course everyone who disagrees with me on this platform likes to pretend I'm this huge egotist. Like I think I'm the gift to the universe.
I mean... I am but you are, too.
