I don't see the difference between the "peace of common unity" and the "peace of common belief." What the belief happens to be is irrelevant....What, really, is the difference between Naziism, Stalinism, Salafism, and Elan Vital? Anyone waking up yet?

I guess I'm still asleep because I don't see that "common unity" or "common belief" is necessarily peaceful, and excuse me, but I think there is a huge significance in what the belief is.  Note, for example, the difference between the belief that all Jews are subhuman and dangerous and must be exterminated, and so I should support that endeavor (Nazism), and say the belief that Prem Rawat is the Lord and so I should kiss his feet and give him money (Elan Vital).

You've a precious insight. You know, firsthand, the essential weakness of mankind.

I think there are lots of people with these insights, many of whom have never been in a cult, and actually I think for anyone with their eyes open seeing the "essential weakness of mankind," (as well as certain essential strengths), is what is called "life."

You can either play with it, like a kid with a mudpie, or you can use it to change the human condition.

I guess it depends on what you are changing it to, but perhaps you can tell us all the wonderful things you have been doing since you left the cult  to "change the human condition" with your valuable insights and keen skills and comprehension.  I'm sure we would all be improved by what you can teach us.
