This video has been removed from all channels (Science, Music, Future, Talks, Brain) due to invalid channel assignment - nochannel invoked by volumptuous. Please review the FAQ to learn about appropriate channel assignments.

Adding video to channels (Brain, Controversy, Cult, Religion, Talks) - requested by volumptuous.

Cult, Religion? How are your choice of channels any more valid than mine? I think I had the channels set appropriately. This is not a cult, nor a religion. Don't fuck with my videos, please.

*discuss to get others opinions

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - discuss requested by EndAll.

OK, I just watched the first 20 seconds and my bullshit meter blew up.

There is no science in this, not with that technobabble that started the video.

Holy crap, I just went to their website and read "It will be the degree to which we are able to translate and utilize this light code that will allow us to break the barriers of illusion set by this dualistic paradigm and the genetic modifications that are in resonance with it. It is because of this light influx that we are now able to answer the three most fundamental questions that define us as conscious Human entities: “Who am I? Where am I from? Why am I here?”"

The obviously subscribe to the school of thought of 'Use lots of big, impressive sounding words that actually mean nothing in an attempt to pull the wool over people's eyes'.

If this isn't just utter, utter, utter dribble, I don't know what is. SO does not belong in the science channel AT ALL.

I completely agree with volumptuous's channels.

Man, I have to not read any more of their website. They are a CULT plain and simple. Next group of people to commit mass suicide anyone? Either that, or just trying to be the next Scientology and scam as much money out of people as possible.

the solution is never found on the level of the problem!

however, i totally agree with the changed channels, especially cult.

"he Template reconnection process restores 33 bio-circuits, through a spoken code and the presence of items of sacred geometry. It takes place in six phases in a series of coded ceremonies. The design and progression of the ceremonies are combination codes which, through resonance, build synergy with the vibratory structure of the DNA, reconnecting bio-circuitry … permanently. This initiates the *return to wholeness, re-establishing our true identities and freeing us from the fear-based matrix that rules our deepest behavioural patterns, and connecting us to a new consciousness grid."

I recommend watching both videos in full, and then doling out your criticisms.
I'd love for someone to refute all this, if it would truly prove this is bullshit I would be better off. The way the concepts are presented seems like it's purely wishy-washy new-age mystic bullshit, but I'm fairly certain there is truth to what is being said. But again, it would be to the benefit of my knowledge if someone could refute this for me.

How is it a cult?


From wiki:
Cult definitions coined from 1920 onward[1] refer to a cohesive social group and their devotional beliefs or practices, which the surrounding population considers to be outside of mainstream cultures.

Miriam Webster:
4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>


The term "cult" is not necessarily a negative, but this video and the group who produced it are a textbook example of what a cult is.

I'm sorry if you feel personally offended by my re-assignments, but I thought they were much more concise, and removing this from the science channel I think is appropriate.

The Template is not a "cohesive social group" nor does it make the claim that it cures any sort of disease.

Those are just examples of cults. Google/wiki/webster away and you'll find a whole host of definitions, most of which specifically point out the types of groups such as this.

Remember, all religions are cults. Scientology is a cult. Blue Oyster is a cult.

EndAll, exactly WHAT do you believe out of this? What do you understand the core point of this group to be?

I can't grasp ANYTHING that I could even remotely believe in amongst all this rubbish.

And do you realise that they think there's going to be some 'transcendence' in 2012? This sort of 'pinning a date that something 'wonderful' is going to happen' lark is PURE cultish mysticism, and is only resolved by them changing the date when nothing happens (7th day adventists) OR committing mas suicide to complete their 'transcendence'.

Perfect group to avoid at all costs.

This is not a group I'd ever get involved with, so there's no avoiding to be had. I simply watched the video.

A great video, but not the science I know of. It looks like you've changed it back, so I won't mess with it, but I implore you to remove it from the channel. I think it's very misleading to call this science. It's probably a good thing Rembar isn't around.

FAKE! No way you watched 20 seconds of this.

This one is even funnier than the other one! *twangs on sitar*
