Reflections on the world anticult
Here I take a cue from Peter Bono launched his second blog Step by step .
In recent months, starting from the events that affected Arkeon, has developed an intense debate in and about the world anticult Italian. For those who want to "rewind" and dedicate an hour of time, much information can be found in the few interventions on Blog Peter Bono, on that of Dr DiMarzio, Blog Covilt and under "Why did he fall arrivals Scierntology "Newsgroup Firs.
All these testimonies are a bleak picture, characterized mainly by a strong and aggressive litigation, lack of effective thickness of academic and professional environment silence.
A quick glance at the blog mentioned a few highlights like the protagonists of the anticult Italian have often shared a piece of their initial training course or service, as in the case of Radoani, Caparesi Santovecchi and who collaborated with Tinelli and Cesap The Tinelli, which in turn has worked to his time with the Gris, etc etc. In an environment lacking in resources and personnel, this should encourage the growth aggregation in order to put together the forces, resources and experiences. Conversely sector players to continue to operate in minimal structures, little more than one-person, spending so much energy into long and sometimes violent disputes anticult internal environment, as in the case in the clashes that opposed the network and sometimes the courts the Tinelli and several of his former assistants.
At first glance, the tone and manner of these clashes would declassified all the "personal squabbles." But it would be a mistake, as clearly demonstrated in violent ostracism that struck at different times of people who tried to challenge from within the environment itself on matters of method, of ability, approach to problems: examples are the cases of DiMarzio and Martini. These people were ignored and criticized from the anticult for putting into question not so much the concept of plagiarism, brainwashing or sectarianism, but their application simplistic and a priori in the absence of direct knowledge of persons and groups subject to such allegations. Even having made contact with supporters of different positions as the CESNUR in Italy in search of tools and comparisons made by both researchers subject to charges of "apostasy" from the environment of origin.
This suggests that the anticult conflict environment is not a problem of "internal quarrels" and "dirty linen to wash in the family", as some have heard it said on Firs, but is a structural problem with the inability to compare different positions from their own. Inability guarded by the absence of a code of conduct, a trade association, a training school or in short, anything that ensures a possibility of confrontation, transparency and evolution.
The question I ask myself and then there is this: an environment that does not know the internal comparison on different positions on the plagiarism, the brainwashing, the concept of sect, who can not discuss whether and how to talk not only with the cult victims but also with members of the seven; dealing with mockery and contempt deepening scientific and cultural matters; judicially and publicly attacking those who try to "talk with the enemy" ... such an environment that gives assurances of fairness and clarity in dealing with cases that are submitted? that provides guarantees of working for the truth and not to search for the guilty at all costs, that gives guarantees to promote the inner peace of the victims and their instrumental exasperation? If we consider that these subjects are the only partners of the police and court records and to manage complaints we can well understand the risks hidden behind everything.
By opening my blog I wrote that I can not know the other if I do not know myself first. And I wrote that will inevitably attempt to explore all of oneself along routes other than those already beaten encounters resistance from the environment of origin, which in our search sees in the mirror put all their fears and disclaimers. This seems all the more true in this world anticult, which more than others is still a world of individuals because of the inability to surpass themselves in a collective dimension, which seems to project their own anxieties about the world, their manipulative ways and sectarian , its inability to act in the light of the sun.
This was a painful but valuable learning curve for those who wanted to accept. I only hope that among them there should also be someone in this world anticult.
