If you are really interested and if you understand
anything of what M says, you will realize that there is more
about it than just watching videos. There is something to
receive, and if you want that gift, you have to become an
aspirant and come to specific meetings for people interested
(like you). The person who speaks after the video might also
invite you to a special meeting for people like you. Let's
say (for the sake of this story) that you decide you want to
know more about it. You find that leaflet inviting you next
week to such and such place, or you go and ask to one of the
nice guys (ladies) that you see what you should do to
receive knowledge.
They will tell you that you have to be patient about it, and
wait until that next video. You might insist a little bit
and have the chance to find someone more enthusiastic who
will tell you a little bit how fantastic that experience
really is, invite you for a drink (don't go for anything
else), and maybe offer to accompany you to that next video
if you feel a bit lonely. These people are really cool
indeed. Whatever the case may be, next week, or next month,
you finally decide to go to that meeting (premies call it a
'follow-up' meeting).
You are now at the 2nd step of
your involvement in that cult. You end up in a hall, smaller
than the first, with a few newly interested people (like
you), and a few premies taking care of ushering, VCR,
sound system, whatever. A nice guy (lady) will welcome you
and say a few words to introduce the videos that you will
watch. The projection might last about an hour, maybe a
little more. The videos that you will see are specially
created for newly interested people. M says beautiful things
about the experience inside, the way to discover it, that
you can aspire to knowledge (and become an aspirant) blah.
blah, giving more details than the first time.
Then the person who spoke at the beginning will invite you
to other meetings of that kind, or to come to other
introductory videos, whatever you like, and thank you for
coming. You may ask questions if you want, that will show
your interest. You will be told that M. himself will give
you the best answer, and that you will very likely get your
answer if you watch more videos. You might even get from
these discourses answers to questions that you don't have
yet. Be patient.
