aka Master Path or
MP
A US-
based cult that purports to be a vehicle of the teachings of light and
sound, a path which will lead to spiritual enlightenment.
The group suppresses
free dissemination of teachings or writings, one must pay the group in order to access this information. Master Path was kicked out of South
Dakota and now has a home in Temecula, CA.
The leader of the group indirectly encourages followers to pray on his visage. All
MP followers have a picture of a creepy-looking, leather-faced
man wearing a turquoise polo shirt. The leader tells followers he is just a humble servant of
God, but requires them to follow himself, the
Guru, or they cannot attain enlightenment.
The leader teaches followers to release sense of self, to not trust themselves or their instincts and to instead follow his path. Part of following requires a monthly payment of at least $30.
According to the leader, leaving the Master Path is the worst thing anyone could do, as without the Master's protection, they will run into all sorts of troubles which would not have happened had they remained with the Master Path.
The Master Path draws in seekers looking for answers, and the leader provides plenty of answers, copied from other
neo-Eastern cults, such as Eckankar.
The leader holds seminars in US cities to pull in more lemmings and more cash.
In sum, Master Path is a
cult that feeds on troubled souls. It kills self-identity and the ability to think for yourself. Its group structure is authoritarian, its methods are insidious, and its net effect is truly
toxic. If you have loved ones who are involved, seek
help before it is too late.
Followers of that whacked-out
cult called the MasterPath are such a bunch of zombies.
