Im reaching out about cults. I am in a large Korean cult that seems on the surface harmless and very helpful and even a flat, non pyramidal organization. But after watching Leo's video a few alarm bells went off and Leo urged to folks reach out here.
They have tried to remove bad press on Maum Meditation and seemed to have scrubbed it from wikipedia but still have some harsh reviews on very few other forms such as redit. Now it seems that the name has changed to Mediation USA still no results on wikipedia. Sense this is a world wide organization, I do not understand why they went with that name, maybe because the founders live here in the US?
Of course I really like the mediation and have reached the higher levels and see lot of value in the core teachings, but it is a cult and I have known this for few years. Yes I do have an addictive tendencies so I am addicted to this method of subtracting negative minds (thoughts & memories). It is quite relaxing and alway feel refreshed after meditating.
Any way it really sometimes seems like Leo is talking directly to me in some of his vlogs, how could he know about the wart on my back? I really digress here to say I have learnt in mediation that every thing is in my mind and is my responsibility not my moms or dads or friends or partners responsibility. Not even Societies, but society may have helped a lot to program my mind.
Sometimes this realization of total responsibility can make me feel bad about myself to know all this, and maybe this is forcing me to try and change. Am I really changing or just being brainwashed? This subtraction mediation method is guided and this at times can seen like brainwashing.
Brainwashing to become enlightened?
Love this journey Leo is sharing with the world.
Cheers,
Enzo
