An Everyday Cult
An Everyday Cult | Gerette Buglion
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A personal memoir and a wake-up call for society to recognize and reject the erosion of critical thinking, An Everyday Cult is an essential read for understanding how people fall prey to mind control and cultic manipulation. Tracing the arc of eighteen years under a trusted teacher's unethical tutelage, Gerette Buglion's true-life story shows how her innocent quest for meaning is answered by a man who sees directly into her soul, awakening insight while simultaneously eroding her capacity for critical thinking. Through an increasingly murky and treacherous narrative, she lays bare the hallmarks of cultic manipulation-mind control that flies under the radar of human awareness-and implores society to wake up to its ever-present abuses of power. An Everyday Cult imparts a universal story, demonstrating how recognition of cultic membership-largely riddled with preconceived notions-may be an essential key to human evolution.

The author came to our local library to speak about her experience. Unfortunately I missed her talk so I grabbed her book. I‘m with a reviewer on Goodreads who says she couldn‘t understand people not seeing through this particular group. I suppose clinging to a community that you‘ve invested financially in for 18 years (despite being treated poorly) is hard to quit. This is not a meaningful addition to readings on why people join a cult.

“There is a point in the cool of the northern springtime, just after garden beds have been raked out, when everything looks seductively tidy. Under the Earth‘s surface, a storm is brewing, ready to burst forth on the first warm days.”

I can feel it coming. ❤️❤️❤️
