Your worth or salvation should never be dependant on any groups or organizations that you attend no matter how liberating the teachings. If any groups foster emotional dependence, run and dont look back. If your asked to reframe your life and thinking in context of attending any groups. Be wary. That you should have the freedom to be yourself and agree on what feels right and disagree on what does not. If any group fosters dependency on it. Claims to have only the true and right answers be wary. If any group claims to be superior and claims other systems are wrong or not valid then be wary. This does not allow learning or exploration for you to choose whats right for you ❤ members may not be aware of there emotional dependence on group and may be trained to dismiss anything critical. Take into consideration good and bad points and decide for yourself how you feel about anything. Be wary of having to merge your identity with the group so you become it. Anything that uses love bombing as in kindness, concern to get you to go against your inner feelings be wary. Take into account how you feel as a first as well as investigation of good and bad points. Are groups dependant on guru. Being inspired by teachers writings is not dependency or a worshipping. Groups may deploy agents who have internalized message of group so deeply that individuals message and groups is one and same. You should be able to sort out whats you, what the groups and whats the teachings. If group Is about group and not teachings be wary. Anything that regards you as traitor, being jealous, betrayer for leaving be wary. Also of anything that says Without our special interpretation of the truth, you cant achieve your potential. If you want to be happy you have to surrender yourself to your special mission within context of the group. Be wary of black and white thinking. your against us or with us. Merging your identity with the group. Everything bad or good that happens is what you did or didnt do. That bad things will happen if you leave. That there are quick fixes to life. Putting down other systems as not valid Remember, what you use are tools to help you. There are a range of spiritual and physical tools. Not a be all or end all. I have attended many groups. I wont recommend something I havent done or if I havent done it I will urge others to do your own investigations. And listen to your heart. Do listen to bad and good things said but dont dismiss them. Go by what you feel. But weigh things up. But let everyone else do what is best for them also.
