CREATE MULTIPLE TRIGGERS
TO INVOKE THE CULT PERSONALITY
Envelope them in exercises, ritual and special practices so that they walk, eat and sleep in specifically branded ways, reflecting Rosicrucian practices and traditions. By doing this, you will create multiple triggers to invoke the cult personality whenever doubt arises.
AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIAN BERNARD,
VENERATED IMPERATOR OF AMORC-The Cult of H. Spencer lewis
Even when conscious of the problems, the member may be driven back to the herd by the strength of this artificially constructed personality.
I can tell you that with the breathing exercises, the special sleep posture, the ritualistic movements during indoctrination, the chanting exercises, the special platforms for invoking successful manifestation of one’s desires, the out of body travel, the recall of past lifetimes- all of these became a continual carnival of activities in which my entire life was branded with the Rosicrucian insignia.
When you are infected with these types of ‘branding triggers,’ so many things you do, say or read can easily create a trigger in which your various oaths, commitments, beliefs, fears, etc.- push to the surface your cult personality- that your inner life becomes a war between intensely compartmentalized components of personality. Towards the end, during sessions of meditation, I would uncontrollably act out this self-division. In The Prisoner of San Jose, I print an excerpt from my diary.
MY ROSICRUCIAN DIARY
MAY 15,1997
Monograph 104 Temple Degree 11
“Many times, I now curse in the middle of these sessions. If I were a free man, I would wait until Saturday, my day off, to study this Monograph. I would then spend more time understanding this Monograph.”
This monograph is talking about my compulsive, daily study of these monographs, an activity which intruded into my work life, already having resulted in my being forced to leave engineering school in Haiti. At some point, later in my career in AMORC, I became so split within myself that I would not only compulsively study, but compulsively curse.
It is hard to even explain the personal torment I would experience as my ‘protean’ self rebelled against the ‘cult personality’ I now hosted- the righteous rebel against the Rosicrucian robot.
