Stop wasting your time, go find Victims

[Santiago Ram]

Instead of searching for popular or influential people to start your Spiritual Group, go find Victims.

They are often easier to find and persuade.

Then once you have momentum, dress them with fancy robes and brag about a big Audience.

Sounds like the Christian religion but even if they can't find victims, they make people into victims then say they have the solution to save them from the hell Christians brought them.

I guess you’re arguing for a more hedonistic and selfish lifestyle for short term gratification? Outside of wanting wellbeing for others those setups don’t usually stand the test of time although some do.

You want to bootstrap with losers, addicts, the mentally ill and the desperate. You want an MLM/ponzi scheme style of recruitment so you can outsource and up-size at the same time.

Then as you amass wealth and influence you honey up some celebs and politicians and treat them like royalty so you can leech of their status and wealth for more even more influence and power. Your followers will be on the call to pamper, sleep with and in general be the slaves of these elites.

Eventually you want to use your wealth and power to fuse your organization with the government/mega corporations as a provider of luxury mega parties for the ultra rich and legal slaves. That's when you will have made it. You'll have more money than you know what to do with, beautiful women will answer to your every beck and call and you live a life of lavish luxury and you can call in favors to change the world at the snap of a finger.
