At the beginning of their arrivals, the cult members must be familiarized with the cult language in order to understand the cult leader’s teachings. The new language separates the world. The new member concludes that just the cult members can figure him/her out and he/she bears this feeling as long as he/she has joined the cult.

12) The lack of advancement in the cult

Based on the beliefs in the cults, the leader’s knowledge is expansive and nobody is able to be equal to his knowledge. Because the mere source of knowledge, receiving massage and trainings in the cult is leader; consequently nobody has completed and graduated his/her training so far.

17) The leader, the source of reality

The cult leader is the source of reality, wisdom and knowledge. The cult leader’s knowledge is free from the materialistic source; that is the cult leaders don’t introduce any source for knowledge; but they have acquired it through invisible inspirations or they have legendary master or masters.
