Miller writes in “Paths of Life” in the last chapter ”Reflections” about leaders and gurus, that we see many problems in a new light when (and if) we take the childhood dimension into account in our trials to explain them. Today we live in a time (era) when dictatorships seem to be replaced with democracies.
But at the same time we see how totalitarian systems grow up in different sects, which people voluntarily enter. People who have grown up in freedom and with respect and whose individuality (distinctive character) in childhood has been tolerated and not been constricted with the help of education, would hardly voluntarily let themselves be drawn into or at least not stay, if they by coincidence or through skillful manipulations would land there.
And if you are drawn into sects or cults it’s not because you are weak or have some sort of weakness you are born with (I think).
I was tipped about “Alcoholics Anonymous as a Cult” and “Boot Camps: Children’s Gulags or Child Abuse for Fun and Profit.”
And this really made me think further…
Oh, the nature is exploding?? It has been sun and a blue sky many days in a row!
Addition: what makes people drawn to bad circumstances, that are harmful for them? Can we avoid it? Prevent it? How?
Oh, how I long for summer...
