DEBARSHI DASGUPTA, Outlook India
• Systematically create a sense of powerlessness in the person
• Control the physical and social environment; control the devotee’s time
• Keep the person unaware of what’s going on & how he is being changed step by step
• Manipulate rewards, punishments and experiences to check the expression of the person’s former identity
• Manipulate rewards, punishments and experiences to promote conformity
• Set a closed system of logic, a hierarchy permitting no feedback, with top-down orders
