Bruce’s position in relation to Mihai and Rumanians is as blind as Ame’s towards me. According to him the decadence of the Fellowship today is due to the non-Americans in it!!! Wow! That’s all the simplification that’s needed now! They judge us as if we hadn’t been as brainwashed as the rest and not for a second consider that the real inner circle people couldn’t be more American from the start. Fortunately, it’s not about being American or not but human or not. The condition of a brainwashed person has been described and studied here over and over again even by them and yet when they want to judge someone who acted in a certain way in the Fellowship then they pull out the double standard that expects the person to have acted as if they’d been a conscious being!
It is not that Bruce, Ames, Old FOF, Vena and so many more do not have immensely valid points and positions against the Fellowship Cult, the problem is that they are using the same Cult tactics to treat others here. What this reveals is how difficult it really is to understand what happens in the cult phenomena, which is only a microcosmic magnification of regular society.
Mihai was no less brainwashed than Girard Haven. Dorian, Mihai and Asaf were all extremely talented young people and their talents were used against them like it happened to everybody else.
Bruce judges these boys but weren’t you as talented to have sex with Robert in your time? In your time, the whole brothel was hidden but if it had been wide open to the circus, wouldn’t you’ve been as talented as Asaf? Or Mihai? Take any of the talented women: Tina, the lady from Cuba, centre directors everywhere, weren’t all of them as talented as Linda? Fast, agile, "charming" people in their own right? Didn’t they play enablers just as much? Now the lot of you wish to stand here and lynch a few so that your own consciences think you’re clean!
It’s rather interesting when you look at those on the active and passive sides of the eneagram. It wasn’t that the passive one’s didn’t want to play the roles the active one’s were chosen to play, or vice-versa, it’s that Robert needed those brilliant people to manipulate the rest. The rest of us weren’t nearly as charming or brilliant, agile or active so we suffered the show in a very different way.
Mihai may not be a more decent man than the majority I know but I would stand for him in no matter what court for being as brainwashed as the rest of us. People like me and all the other older people who stood up for Robert ABSOLUTELY BLINDLY, inspired every single one of those young men to do what they did, just like people like the Heinrichs, the Heinz, the Harris, the Havens, inspired me.
The interesting division that is happening here is that the FOF Blog is trying to find people to lynch but there’s not one person here who was not a victim. Not even Robert: of his own invention of course but still, with the tremendous support from each one of us and the Americans more than most, after all, such Cults are thriving in your womb.
The dark side of each member was supported by their lighter side. People justified what ever we did because it was inspired by “love”: love for The Arc, Culture, The School,”Friends”; our nobility was used against us. Everyone got paid one way or another for belonging to the inner circle in which Robert dominated everything. Once they got paid, they had to justify what they were getting paid for. Undermining people’s self with the presumption that everyone besides him was on a lower scale and we were “beggars before the enlightened one”, disenabled anyone from challenging him. Inequality amongst people is given by the imaginary chair they occupy when they don’t know their own humanity. A true human would simply not accept to sit where humanness doesn’t prevail.
As we have already seen here, each one of us has the ability to act blindly against each other, still after the Fellowship. The inability to assume complete responsibility for what each one of us did inside, allows you to judge and condemn others for what they did, convinced that you are “better” than us. There are no “betters”, just humans doing our best and our best is hardly human!
I want nothing more than the closure of the Fellowship Cult but not for a repetition of cultish behaviour as is being done by the FOFBlog but as an act of responsibility for what we know we did and must not allow anyone else to fall into. Until we can acknowledge the inhumanity of our own behaviour we won’t be able to find the necessary compassion to deal with the humanity of those involved. We are all responsible for each other. This is the Public Square.
