Update
This is a vast subject, and not something it is possible to generalise over. A theme that does often run through in cults, politics, religions, gangs, families even, philosophies, debates, powerplays, sport, is control over beliefs and lives. It's as if there is an underlying dynamic of demonstrating power or control over others, diminishing their free will or autonomy, and gaining more for themselves. More territory, more money, more luxury items, but often more people to command, or to show that one owns. The lord of the manor in an area used to own people, not only in the sense of employing, housing and feeding them or sending them to church, but being able to send them into battle. When we look at cults and various forms of abuse, it's tempting to see them as part of a feudal system, where those who can, take appalling advantage and liberty over whoever they can commandeer - simply because they can. What kind of a reason is that? A kind of a compulsion, not only to have command or prestige or being One-Up, but being able to prove it so that none can deny it, or do anything about it.
Sadly, over the last few years, we've seen increasing examples of doing others down, denying them basic justice, housing, jobs, income, fairness or consideration. It's hard to see why, and it happens in plain sight.
A pandemic like coronavirus should pull us all up short, in the sense we are all at some risk, rich or poor, education, race, abilities, health, whatever. I don't know all the ins & outs, but look at how some sections of society are able to make more decisions or choices for themselves and their loved ones. It may be natural in the normal way of things, but there seems something way unnatural in terms of how decisions have been imposed with our having no choices or say. Someone has pointed out that the drafting of rules and laws must have been going on for weeks, seriously intruding on our private lives, welfare and decisions, almost an assault on anything of meaning or pleasure to us. Many things we needed were a practical impossibility. including maintaining contacts that would prevent our going under, or activities we find meaningful. Who would impose all of that, leaving people adrift, often alone? Many people have Internet contact and facilities. What about those who do not, and what if the service goes down or your gadget bites the dust?
Now that various easings have come into effect, there is concern that some of us have gone a bit wild. One can be forgiven for wondering if some of this happened, not by accident, but as a design to be used as a basis for future decisions. Now that parameters are better known, we speculate to more effect. When people are too constrained, they're close to giving up hope. Is it the other way around, that sudden, enduring and mass readjustments have a disorienting and doomladen effect, especially when people are cut off from their usual support network and activities. Where we could have been allowed or encouraged to hope, and to give/receive moral support, there was negative reinforcement, interspersed with intermittence (a subversive and effective method of behavioural change).
A number of deep thinkers have raised questions about the ethics of some measures, and I wonder too about the effect on people's personalities and souls. Wars have been fought over beliefs or religion, and countless lives lost. For what? The more one looks, the more fundamental it seems to be for human behaviour. Religion is not being used to control people's beliefs, but their very essence. Cults are very good at it too, controlling increasing aspects of personal lives and freedoms, keeping members short of money, choices, family contact, and sexual behaviour. We seem to be facing a continual battle of egregores that has raged down the ages, seemingly re-energised in our troubled times.
Some readers may support the notion of Ancient Aliens or modern visitors from elsewhere in the Universe. Some will think it a load of rubbish. Feel free to pick and choose! If a portion of society were to have a different genetic make-up from the majority, reinforced by special privilege and education (nature and nurture), plus if souls could reincarnate and revitalise old war wounds, plus the stars/planets in their courses, plus forms of manipulation we cannot fathom: For good or bad measure add in super psychology that only aliens can do... would we be pretty stumped? Send us your answers via drone.
There is speculation that much of what happens around and to us, or is somewhere in the pipeline, concerns our basic humanity and empathy. So if we can be dehumanised enough, or we get 'transhumanised' with a microchip or something, or there's an injection to stultify our higher instincts, some other lifeform would take control of our souls for themselves.
SPY STORIES: Exposing the Illuminati
by R.A. Chamberlin
Here I started off in Kindle, and felt I'd do better with a hard copy, also available on Amazon. I am unable to do justice to the book in a short summary, and have no wish to say more than the author has already said in his Amazon blurb, Facebook page or Website; details can be found on a Google search. He has also split the book into two smaller ones entitled Diary of an Avatar. I believe his observations are worth looking at, and he has also researched a number of allied fields so you can follow up on anything to suit yourself. He refers to some people who appear to have a natural aptitude, or maybe it's training, to 'see into' other people's brains or lives, and to influence them.
You might look up author Truthspoon on Amazon. Useful to us, was 'The Illuminati's War Against You and How to Resist', available as a free pdf download at www.truthspoon.com along with other info.) Try his 'Kabbalah: High Strangeness, An Anthology of Strangeness in High Places'.
On a broadly similar theme, written by Bill Brooks and Joanna Summerscales, is '44: Based on an ex-Soldier's True Story'.
Not to everyone's taste perhaps, but we recommend looking out books by Len Kasten, the most recent summarising earlier material, 'Dark Fleet: The Secret Nazi Space Program and the Battle for the Solar System'.
Recently we came across a book by David Jacobs (who wrote The Threat about aliens' purpose), called Walking Among Us. He postulates that some aliens communicate telepathically with contactees, using 'neural engagement', in some cases locking into the optic nerve.

Ingo Swann, a well-known and respected psychic involved in remote viewing at high levels, wrote Penetration. More recently, notes were found about his remote viewing and interaction with inhabitants on Mars. Others have independent similar accounts. His book has been updated to include the chapter.

I believe so, although I am not particularly religious. I believe it is important that people are allowed and helped to make up their own minds, make their own mistakes even. There has been talk in counselling circles over whether people should be given advice. Giving advice is not a part of counselling and therapy, though some situations may differ, so long as it is used wisely. I find that, whatever a situation looks like, things can alter significantly. The best person to handle decisions is the person whose life it is. Something may look like a dead cert; often it is not. The best healer can be someone who comes along in a person's life, and a relationship forms. Even if it breaks up, with luck it leaves the individual strong enough to make decisions for themselves that may also affect others. Obviously, these things can work out adversely for an individual, but it can also work miracles.
Cults, Controlling Relationships
When someone gets drawn into a relationship with an individual with a strong imbalance of power, or where a guru-type cult-leader, or a cultic group is involved, attempts are made to control increasing amounts and areas of individuals' lives. There are some excellent books and blogs about these issues. In essence, the leader sets him- or herself up as a kind of demigod - who has to be obeyed and never questioned. To my mind, that is where souls come into it. Somehow the leader gains power, and has increasingly to exert control. Some notorious and devastating cults seem to have begun with high ideals and quite ordinary behaviour. Some business enterprises can become similar in effect. One of the main problems with a controlling spouse, or boss, or group leader, is that friends may see what is happening and sound an alarm, which falls on deaf ears. Their friend has got well and truly hooked, and cannot hear anything or anyone else. It can happen fast; alternatively the build-up is slow and insidious. In closing this section, I'll just mention that some powerful cults began by portraying themselves as beneficial therapy groups. They worked, but very destructively. One cannot help but wonder if that is their real purpose, to get in under the radar to the Soul. You've heard the phrase about capturing Hearts & Minds. If the game-plan is to 'capture' Souls, leaving no route out for those selected, that could explain a thing or two. If some higher echelon in a cult or in wider society, reckons that sexual abuse of youngsters particularly, seriously hampers their development and wellbeing, does that explain even more? As to whether perpetrators (or some faction behind the scenes) actually gains power or strength through these activities, we do not know.
Another catchy phrase is Divide & Conquer, where factions are set up so as not to get-it-together, see the picture and cooperate, or go against each other, argue Yes, there's lots of abuse - believe survivors, or No, no proof - back under the carpet. The same thing has happened over ritual abuse. A convenient plan, for some? A plan nonetheless. Watch yourself. Protect yourself.
Personal Responsibility
When people write about reincarnation or past lives, they may wax lyrical on the glamour of certain eras or quests, and that some groups of people tend to come together in groups. It can be very offputting to those who are excluded, or have no guidelines as to what life is about, what they're meant to be doing and so on. Why does any of it matter? Perhaps because people can get drawn into things that aren't what they really believe in, and would not otherwise have responsibility for. It can happen so easily, for one reason or another, or simply inexplicably. Unless we are careful. Sometimes people share living accommodation, which has an impact on things like boundaries and privacy, and I've seen people lose parts of their individuality or identity. Some of the most down-to-earth writers on esoteric subjects, advise people to make up their own minds about what matters in their circumstances, and just keep doing the best they can.
Searching for Meaning
This is getting into an area I had no intention of starting on, and will leave readers to continue. I have listed writers on some esoteric subjects you may wish to follow up. If people have souls, then they may also have other lives in other times & places, other themes or tasks, other explanations. Believe or reject or leave for now. When I became concerned over accounts of ritual abuse, I went to lectures, mixed around, got shed-loads of books, my usual efforts towards getting answers to questions. I sat at a talk where suddenly the lecturer said he thought some experiences of multiple personalities were likely to be when people got 'stuck in their archetypes', and we spoke afterwards. It is over my head and not my usual way of thinking. However I feel it worth considering. Also people can act as though they are influenced by characters on-screen or in books, and emulate people they come across. So what really is character or personality, today and many years down the line? I've known people who became very different. I changed a lot. Have you? Just as we do different things at different times in the day, we will have different emphasis or purpose at different times of life, handling things as best we can. There are likely to be a few people who tend to help, or some who hinder. The stuff of myth and fairy tales perhaps.
