ANALYSIS OF ARTICLE 8+ ISOLATING DOGMA
Create a set of practices and beliefs that can isolate the member from friends and family. Create an aura of secrecy or specialness about the members’ relationship to the cult. Whether you move up in the party echelon, take on special, official duties or get a higher degree- all can serve the same purposes.
In many ways, AMORC creates at the very beginning certain dogmas that creates a sense of uniqueness about AMORC. For one thing, in Mandamus No. 2, the monograph sets out the history of the order, focusing on how, in 1909, Dr. H. Spencer Lewis-

I am publishing this Declaration for the very first time on the Internet. This document was first published in my book, The Prisoner of San Jose and demonstrates how it is possible for a cult to quickly and forcibly indoctrinate a recruit, using Mind Control, without a whole lot of personal access to the member.

In Mandamus No. 1, AMORC comments on the difference between religion and a mystical order. Regarding religion, it says that
-is intent upon perpetuating dogmas that were established originally by one or two individuals. When these dogmas reflect the Universal Good, the behaviors dictated by the religion are valid. Yet other dogmas may oppose a person’s physical and spiritual integrity.

Can you imagine what it is like to be the head of an organization that basically makes its money by stripping people of their identities and making them into human pawns? Yes, for many, perhaps like Jim Jones, there is an enormous ego that needs to be fed for the sake of its own self-aggrandizement.

Why did I turn to AMORC?
As some of my readers have pointed out, a large part of my motivation when I came to the United States was based on trying to survive as an immigrant in the United States. Ultimately, I had to struggle with semi-starvation, homelessness and the absolute loss of my ability to act as a breadwinner for my poor family.

When you spend twenty-four years in a cult, you sometimes forget the importance of the very beginning- the hopeful years where you were mesmerized by a fresh, new spiritual energy in your life. This is the time when your soul begins to be unraveled in preparation for a radical and dangerous change of personality.
