Show Notes
Sadly, many spiritual organizations display the negative characteristics of cults, and many spiritual teachers and leaders abuse their power. As a result, many sincere seekers end up disillusioned, wounded, or traumatized. Steven Hassan is an expert on cults, mind control, and "undue influence," and his Freedom of Mind Resource Center is dedicated to empowering spiritual students to protect themselves and retain their independence. We discuss some of the valuable tools Steven has developed, such as the BITE (Behavior, Information, Thought, Emotional control) model and the Influence Continuum, as well as the indicators of healthy teachers and organizations and unhealthy ones.
