Moonies Continued from page 3 the recruiting process of the Moonies. In his ! own case, Carlson was approachea in San \ Francisco by a young woman' who sup- \ posedly worked for a social service group, the ] Creative Community Project. After what was to be only a weekend retreat at the group's farm, Carlson was per- suaded to stay on. He said he was surrounded by who he thought were "caring people" committed to him and to others. "They spoon-fed me-just enough to keep me going, but never enough to turn me away." Cults indoctrinate members by subtle con- ditioning. Carlson referred several times to Robert J. Lifton's Thought Reform and Psychology of Totalism, which discusses eight psychological themes that exist in a brinwashing environment. According to Carlson, these themes correspond to cult in- doctrination "almost letter for letter." Carlson said the camp-like environment of the farm was utilized to brainwwn him through a "hidden agenda," His schedule was "highly regulated". He was allowed vir- tually no time alone and was prevented from conversing with other new members. Carlson was told almost three weeks after his arrival that the group was a part of the Unification Church. The Moonies justified their deceit, calling it "heavenly decep- tion"—since Satan had stolen Carlson from God, they could steal him back. Carlson himself recruited four new members in the same way. He said he did not feel uncomfor- table that he was knowledgeably deceiving these people because he believed he was changing the world for the better. According to Carlson, the days at the farm passed quickly. He never had time to think about the world outside and his old life became "faraway and unreal" as he gradually let go of his own ways of thinking. Without realizing it, said Carlson, he had become a Moonie and devoted his life totally to one cause—Sun Yung Moon. The "active ingredient" in the Unification Church and other cults is a personality, a leader. A member's life becomes "severed" from himself and he "re-aligns [himself] with the leader." In this way, said Carlson, the leader exercises incredible control over that person in his everyday life. If the member does not fit the mold, he must change. Deception is another key factor in all cults. A cult member loses the ability to think lor himself. He is caught up in "blind belief". Other members talk spiritually, said Carlson, but faith is absent. A Moonie is conditioned to believe that if he leaves the church, he will be crushed by Satan.
