Good post, very clear and helpful. As a quick observation, I'd throw in a third unrelated influence, e.g. those under the influence of drugs or alcohol (again, I guess, ego weakeners?).
But I'd like to raise a question two other influences, a) the use of trauma for "cracking" people open, b) the possibility of 'socially transmitted' psychic influences. The latter would refer back to your earlier posts about the influence of gurus/tantriks working through others.
Possibly, in the first case, a counter argument could be that such trauma causes divisions in the individual and so, therefore, it's not external influences but influences that the individual believes are external but are actually just themselves.
Even after all of this time, on this forum, I don't think we've explored the use of trauma in the psychic manipulation of BK adherents, and in the creation of unhealthy attachment bonds with the leaders of the BK cult.
* (In psychology, this was explored by John Bowlby and is referred to as Attachment theory. Alexandra Stein has applied it to high pressure religions in her book 'Terror, Love and Brainwashing: Attachment in Cults and Totalitarian Systems' [2016]).
In the second case, it's theorised with spiritualist circles that individuals relating to each other created psychic bonds or connection between them (or, even more specifically, between specific chakras of individuals depending on the circumstances), and that these psychic bonds are not "solid" but rather more like tubes through which other energies can flow.
We'd have to explore whether those "other energies" were just mental/emotional states of the individual, including the divided parts of themselves, or entirely separate spiritual entities of all natures. And, again, I'd argue 'both' occur rather than either/or.
Now, for the materialistically minded, that might sound too fantastically but to the empathic, I suspect it will sound entirely normal and reasonable. In fact, it's an experience that, e.g. lovers often have about their beloved ones, or mothers and their children often report even whether the other party is not geographically close to them.
This would then raise questions, or even present answers, for why individuals who have ostensibly "left" BKism, still struggle with influences, serve, or are used for the benefits of the BKWSU and its spirits.
They are, in a sense, still psychically enslaved to the BK community, even though physically and intellectually they have rejected it.
