"Course" leads to "positive change" or is it a pathological psychology?
A psychiatrist conducted a study on the "Fountain of Life" training and found that trainees often experience an increase in happiness, which is actually a kind of pathology; the training will systematically reduce self-function, Encouraging students to regress to their primitive state, resulting in significant impairment of their ability to judge reality. Another study found that a small number of "Fountain of Life" students developed stress reactions , such as temporary neurosis episodes, and clinical evidence showed this. It is directly related to the training.
Someone wrote: Many students feel that they have gained a lot after participating in the awakening training, and feel that their lives have been "positively changed". In fact, this is probably just a "chicken blood", which is to incite emotions and vent during the training process. The results of psychological techniques such as mood and instilling hope. More and more people have been addicted to participating in this type of training for many years. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, there are many people who feel that it is "very worthwhile".
This is very similar to that of the past. An FLG enthusiast said that the FLG experience has changed me tremendously. I was originally introverted and had low self-esteem. Since I became a "webmaster", I feel that I have mastered the secrets that others do not understand, and I am no longer in the same group as those who used to look down on me. This is the pinnacle of my life.
This leads to the fact that once the course environment is blocked and people return to real life, there will be a strong conflict between the understanding in the classroom and real life, and some people may have strong tolerance. , after adjusting, they can still return to a normal state. Some people cannot adjust, so they become confused and have a different identity about themselves. Whether I am right or wrong is very likely to induce mental illness. The human soul is a kind of wound that is difficult to repair.
Li Yaling mentioned in the article that on the second day after the class, my passion suddenly subsided like a tide. I fell ill and had difficulty speaking. Entered the Air Force Hospital. At this time, I strangely found that the energy I had gained in the course had disappeared. I felt like I was in a dream, and I said many things that I shouldn’t have said. I did a lot of things I shouldn’t have done. I felt very complicated and confused. Everyone was sending text messages to each other, the content of which was “I feel like my energy is slowly disappearing...I am becoming the same as before...” There was a classmate. Then he sent a text message saying: "I seem to be unable to adapt to this society, and my mood is very low..."
"Course" forms positive or false interpersonal relationships
Among the students who participated in the "Course", many of them were in their previous lives. , feel the disharmony in interpersonal relationships. Some people come to participate in "courses" because they hope to solve the dilemma of interpersonal relationships, and the courses are not intended to improve people's autonomy and reflective ability and learn the skills of interpersonal communication. Method.
Regardless of the motivation, method and channel for initially participating in the "course", no matter what social status you have, and what kind of education you have received, after the "course" lures people here, it will first deprive you of your independent feeling and thinking ability. . A group of people who may or may not have known each other in the past gathered together, speaking the same language and repeating the same actions. The grand scenes in the
"course", the infectious teachers, the students who share enthusiastically, the sincere angels, the courses that touch the heart, the lively, interesting and thought-provoking activities, the orderly arrangements, the warm and considerate details... create It creates a brand-new interpersonal experience that is both touching and memorable.
Cult-like and MLM-like mind control attempts to work from the moment you come into contact with them. "Course" integrates different people into a common spirit and emotion, reduces everyone's intellectual level to the lowest state of a subgroup, blurs individual differences, and cancels individual consciousness. The interaction and hints formed by the subgroup atmosphere make everyone try to follow the people around them and follow closely behind the "mentors and coaches", forming a social standardization model of the subgroup.
Li Yaling mentioned in the article that on the afternoon of the fifth day, the last item in the course arrangement was a very solemn ceremony "LP Walk": all the new students held hands and stood in a circle close to the wall. Amidst the exciting music, Previously, the old LPs from each class walked into the classroom one by one hand in hand, walked slowly in front of each of us new students, made eye contact with each of us, and then walked out of the classroom one by one hand in hand. During this period, the instructor will always hold the microphone to guide us to "experience". There was crying again in the classroom. I also have uncontrollable soreness in my nose. When the instructor asked us to open our eyes, I unexpectedly found that my friend Mr. Z and the old LP who had argued with me in the teahouse were both standing in front of me holding flowers. Surprised, tears welled up in my eyes.
It’s not just me, every new student will see a bouquet of beautiful flowers and the inspiring and familiar smile behind the flowers when they open their eyes. So, screaming, hugging, crying... the whole crowd fell into a sea of passion in an instant, and everyone they knew and didn't know were hugging each other.
I finally understand why so many people are fascinated by this course. The psychological techniques it uses are so powerful that you simply can't resist. In the
3C course, the "inspirator" is called "little girl" and the person being inspired is called "starfish". This comes from a fable: Under the scorching sun, a large number of starfish thrown to the beach by the storm are about to die tragically. A little girl visiting the beach kept picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea. Her mother advised her that there are so many starfish, you will never be able to pick them all. But the little girl said: "Everyone who can be saved is one!"
As the course progressed, some students in the class became more and more recognized for doing 3C, and even experienced "nobility" and "satisfaction" from it. Later, some students became completely "curriculum first".
By the time we "graduated", my class had made more than 20 "3Cs" - the "starfish" were the students' spouses, relatives, colleagues, classmates and subordinates. Some "little girls" even spend their own money to develop "starfish" in order to complete their tasks.
Inspiration: Seeking value recognition In the final stage of
training, the instructor instilled a "savior plot" in the students, asking them to treat their relatives and friends who did not participate in the training as "starfish" to save, and the only way to save them is to let them They come for training. The instructor is actually hinting to the students that your personal value and ability can only be reflected in the final inspiration stage.
There are also many veteran students who rush to go back and help out on a voluntary basis after the training. This is because their original cognitive systems were broken during the training and they cannot find social support when they return to real life. The values and behavioral methods instilled in the training will not work in real life. They cannot be understood and recognized by the people around them, which will cause anxiety and confusion in people. He can only return to the virtual environment in the training to relieve his anxiety. .
Once the worship and belief in the leader is formed, different opinions and pressure from the outside world will inevitably lead to strong confrontational reactions from the cult. The basic characteristics of cult beliefs are paranoia and uncompromisingness. Therefore, the standard for judging the right and wrong of anything is no longer an individual standard, but can only be the opinion of the group and the majority.
When observing cult addicts, we can see individuals who are self-absorbed because of their obsession. This situation is very close to the situation in which a person under hypnosis is different from the normal waking state. The high degree of social standardization formed by the leader's absolute authority and mental control, and the powerful suggestion and imitation effects within the group are just like the influence of hypnotism. "The individual has lost consciousness and will.
As for this, the mind control mechanisms of the cult-like, MLM-like, and harmful Qigong mentioned above are exactly the same as those of the cult.
