Charles Manson, Reverend Jim Jones and Joseph Kibweteere are three famous cult leaders. (Kibweteere was the leader of a suicidal cult that splintered from the Roman Catholic Church in Uganda. In March 17, 2000, in a mass murder/suicide, at least 780 people died with some reports placing the final number above 1,000.)

Heaven’s Gate was another cult -an American UFO religion based in San Diego, California, founded and led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. On March 26, 1997, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group who had committed suicide.

In 2011, New Age Guru, NY Times bestselling author of “Harmonic Wealth: The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want”, and a featured teacher on “The Secret”, James Arthur Ray was convicted by a jury on three counts of negligent homicide in the deaths of Kirby Brown, James Shore and Liz Neuman. They were among dozens who participated in the Sweat Lodge ceremony Ray led near Sedona in October 2009.

“There is no doubt that I am God”
– Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the Guru of bling, India who was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of raping two female followers

And in 2011, Mahendra Trivedi, was touted as a healer, with “the ability to change the molecular structure of cancer cells, radioactive water, virus, bacteria, fungus etc” and his promotional material claims “He has had success with advanced cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and many other health challenges.” Trivedi’s followers and sales affiliates and promotional and marketing materials refer to him as the Second Coming of Christ. Despite unsupported and undocumented claims of the existence of four thousand studies from institutions around the world, Penn State University, the only US institution to research Trivedi’s alleged gift and ability found no substance to his claims. “Mahendra Trivedi was tested extensively at the Penn State University’s Materials Research Laboratory on several occasions from June – September 2009, and we did not observe any changes in materials or their properties as a result of his ‘blessings’” wrote Dr. Tania Slawecki. Now people close to Trivedi claim he is a scam artist, a cult leader and a fraud with some women accusing him of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

And in 2018, Keith Raniere — the co-founder of an allegedly torturous and psychologically manipulative secret society, NXIVM, was arrested.  “Keith Raniere displayed a disgusting abuse of power in his efforts to denigrate and manipulate women he considered his sex slaves,” FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney said. According to the FBI, many of the victims had Raniere’s initials “branded in their pubic regions” with a cauterizing pen in a “tribute.”

How do brainwashing, mind control and influence occur?

How do intelligent and educated people fall into the hands and the mental, emotional, psychological and sexual control of cult leaders, false teachers and corrupted gurus?

Michele Morrisette of PurQi.com interviews Human Behavior Expert Patrick Wanis PhD for the answers. “PurQi is an organization dedicated to help educate and encourage new research in the areas of spiritual seeking, healing modalities, energy transmissions, transformation, enlightenment, and consciousness.”

Patrick Wanis PhD reveals that cult leaders often display strong characteristics of narcissism as well as profiles of a psychopath: a charismatic leader who increasingly becomes the object of worship creating disciples, followers and devotees; they engage in processes of “coercive persuasion”, “thought reform” and “acts humiliating followers” and; they manipulate and exploit the people who idealize and idolize them, and they manipulate and exploit those people economically and sexually.

Patrick Wanis PhD reveals the six key human emotional needs that unknowingly influence an individual’s decision-making process and easily leads them into cults, brainwashing and mind control. Wanis reveals how people become victims and examines the James Arthur Ray case, Mahendra Trivedi and Charles Manson as individuals with highly persuasive tendencies that led them on the path to becoming gurus/cult leaders instead of teachers. Patrick Wanis PhD also reveals the reasons why most of the victims of these cult leaders are women and explains why these types of groups/cults often replace the role of traditional religion.

Is Racism More Important Than Violence Against Women? Photo: Mel Gibson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from a fight involving his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in 2011. Gibson received 36 months informal probation and about $500 in fines. He must also complete 16 hours community service and a 52-week domestic violence counseling program

While people are angry at Mel Gibson they are ignoring Charlie Sheen who has been charged with allegedly putting a knife to his wife’s throat.

And according to Celebrity Life Coach and Human Behavior & Relationship Expert, Patrick Wanis PhD:

“We give free-passes to people we like and we react harsher to racist remarks than we do to actual violence against women – although both are seriously wrong.”

“The media and public have been quite vocal in expressing opinions and judgments about Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva; some calling Mel Gibson a racist violent monster while others call Oksana a gold digger but with so many recordings and media coverage, Mel Gibson has become a joke – a kind of drunken modern-day Archie Bunker – and now the attention has turned off domestic violence. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger compared Mel Gibson to the Gulf of Mexico oil leak saying Gibson could not be contained.”

Russ Morley, host of the morning show on News/Talk 850 WFTL interviews Celebrity Life Coach, Human Behavior & Relationship Expert Patrick Wanis, PhD for insights into the Mel Gibson meltdown and why Hollywood and the media are being quiet about Charlie Sheen and the charges of assault against his wife. Patrick Wanis PhD reveals that “We are showing favoritism towards Charlie Sheen. We watch Charlie Sheen on his weekly TV show and for almost 7 years, and we welcome his TV character and welcome him in life as a bad boy but we refuse to see him as a man who has abused a woman. The reality of his abuse, of his violence against a woman, is ignored because people generally seem to like him, to find him affable, viewing him as basically just a boy who is slightly wild and has not yet grown up. If we had heard the conversation between Charlie and his wife, would we still be giving him the free=pass? People quickly condemned Chris Brown for assaulting Rihanna but was that because we saw the photo of her bruised face or because Chris Brown is black and so our bias and prejudice spiked our anger and condemnation?” Patrick Wanis PhD also discusses the detrimental effect the Mel Gibson and Oksana case is having on the real issue of domestic violence and Battered Woman’s Syndrome.

How Gullible Are You Cults, Gurus & James Arthur Ray

New Age Guru, NY Times bestselling author of “Harmonic Wealth: The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want”, and a featured teacher on “The Secret”, James Arthur Ray, is on trial charged with the reckless manslaughter of three people who died in James Ray’s sweat lodge when they attended his “Spiritual Warrior” retreat in October 2009. Of the 55 people who participated in the Sweat Lodge, some were doctors, engineers, salespeople, small-business owners and other professionals who paid $10,000 to break down personal barriers. And to do so, according to CNN and the trial, “they were willing to shave their heads, meditate in the desert for 36 hours without food and water, then symbolically die and be reborn in the sweat lodge ritual.”

Witnesses in the trial speak of some of the participants wanting to please James Ray and feeling intimidated by a man who made all sorts of promises such as “to have one of the most intense altered states you’ve ever had in your entire life.”

Participants engaged in extreme exercises that involved role-playing, sleep deprivation, lectures, journal writing, fasting for 36 hours and extreme physical challenges.

Some commentators such as marketing expert and author, Dave Lakhani, have criticized James Arthur Ray, accusing him of “cult tactics” and accusing the Law of Attraction as being nothing more than a “cult” belief.

How did these professional people fall into this dangerous situation? Did they get conned? How could they be so gullible to pay $10,000 and be lead almost to their death? What type of person could be so gullible? How gullible are you? What are the dangers you should be aware of?

Jim Peake of MySuccessGateway.com interviews Human Behavior Expert Patrick Wanis PhD to discuss the dangers of gurus and cults and to explore the culpability of James Ray and the participants. Patrick Wanis PhD reveal the emotional states and vulnerabilities that can lead a person to fall into a cult, be brainwashed or simply give away power and control.

Beware Of Gurus – James Arthur Ray

New Age Guru and a featured teacher on “The Secret”, James Arthur Ray, held a “Spiritual Warrior” retreat in October 2009, in which three people died and eighteen others were injured after participating in a sweat lodge. It’s been reported that the participants who paid almost $10,000 for the retreat, fasted for 36 hours and then had a breakfast buffet on the day of the sweat lodge. James Ray is now facing possible homicide charges.

The sweat lodge is a Native American tradition and ritual that has been around for hundreds of years. So, what possible mistakes did James Ray make that could have resulted in these deaths?

Some commentators such as marketing expert and author, Dave Lakhani, have criticized James Arthur Ray, accusing him of “cult tactics” and accusing the Law of Attraction as being nothing more than a “cult” belief.

How and why do we create gurus? Is the creation of a guru the first step before the formation of a cult? How do people get seduced into cults? How and why do people get conned?

Jim Peake of mysuccessgateway.com interviews Human Behavior Expert Patrick Wanis PhD to discuss the dangers of gurus and cults and to delve into the motivations and reasons people create gurus, get enticed by them and how to beware falling prey to cults and brainwashing.

Holocaust victims – Jews in a concentration camp – The Evil in All Of Us

The Virginia Tech massacre, the Holocaust, atrocities at Abu Ghraib Prison, crimes against humanity by Idi Amin and Saddam Hussein –

All modern day examples of the unthinkable, and yet research reveals that every one of us is susceptible to committing evil. Is that true? Why? Is it the work of Satan the Devil or is there simply good and evil in all of us? Patrick Wanis speaks with Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University Philip Zimbardo who led the landmark 1971 Stanford Prison experiment which foretold and paralleled most of the torture that was to occur at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq. Professor Zimbardo has authored over 50 books including “The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil” and “The Time Paradox.”

Andrew Kehoe, age 55, is the evil mastermind of the May 18, 1927, Bath School Disaster, a bombing that took the lives of 38 children as they attended class – 45 people were killed in total including himself and his wife, Nellie.

Patrick Wanis and Professor Zimbardo explore, examine and debate the psychology of evil and all aspects of evil and human behavior:

Evil and the human psyche; Motivations behind our fascination with evil and villains such as Batman’s “The Joker”; Dangers of power addiction; The tipping point that leads us do evil; Stress and evil; Dangers of de-individuation – losing our identity; Religion and evil – evil committed in the name of God; The holocaust, anti-Semitism, Jews informing on Jews, and extraordinary behavior by Jehovah’s Witnesses; How technology and the media unknowingly encourage violence, murder and evil; How being trapped in or fixated on moments of time can lead to hedonism, pain or violent acts; Gender differences with regards to violence and evil (can women be just as violent and evil as men?); Why men cheat – the link to power; the antidote to evil and; our deepest hidden human desire.
