If anyone should give him the benefit of the doubt, he wasn't very thorough in his blurb.
He was not very thorough and he is WRONG.
I’ve researched this topic for many years and lectured at several academic conferences on the topic, “How to Recognize and Resist Mind Control and Manipulation. “
I’ve studied cults and am trained in stage hypnosis(just to understand it as I will never use it).
In order to understand the topic in a religious setting, I spent years visiting charismatic churches to differentiate the real born again experience from the fake process.
My degree in psychology did not help as much as many years studying neuroscience and consciousness.
It’s a fascinating topic and the more I learn the more humbling as I keep having many more unanswered questions.
For example, the epigenetic influence of placebos and how they work is just one example of mind control where the biochemical influence is not understood.
Science is about understanding how God works.
