CULTS CRITIQUE by Betty Bruechert N o cult was ever more of a mis­ nomer than this if by “ light” one means the truth of God as re­ vealed in His Word. Very similar to Unity, the Church of Religious Science, Scientology, and dozens of sects now devoted to ontology (sci­ ence of being), this one is unique is that in its literature there is no mention of God at all. Reference is made to an impersonal “ Supreme Ruling Intelligent Power called Uni­ versal Life Energy latent in every individual.” According to this cult, most people do not know how to con­ tact this great supply of universal forces so its basic aim is “ to insure to the individual — liberty, self-reli­ ance, self-determination and pursuit of happiness.” By its own definition: “ The Lightbearers, an international, educational, scientific, non-sectarian, non-political, humanitarian organiza­ tion, was founded in 1921 by Eugene Fersen, international president and supreme leader, to show people, re­ gardless of race, nationality, creed or belief, how to obtain through the science of being, the finest and best out of life, materially, mentally and spiritually . . . physically, to rid yourself of all physical ailments; . . . mentally, to develop all mental facul­ ties such as will power, initiative, reason, foresight, intuition; . . . spir­ itually, to imbue every thought and act with an irresistible emotional fire . . . to weld body, mind and soul into a complete and unified whole.” With headquarters in the “ Great Tower of Light,” Seattle, Wash., the objectives of this cult are among other things, “ the creation of centers throughout the entire world . . . the foundation of schools . . . establish­ ing of clubs and libraries, chairs and scholarships in colleges and univer­ sities . . . the publishing of news­ papers and periodicals.” The members of the organization are advised that they should realize their great responsibility as light- bearers to the world. They are told they will have the knowledge and power to lessen the evil which ignor­ ance and fear have brought upon humanity. No remedy for sin is pre­ sented ; no Saviour; no personal God. Any resemblance to science is as co­ incidental as that which is set forth in any similar ontological cult. No figures for the number of adherents could be secured.
