Furthermore, since Rand had an absolute and total line on each conceivable query of ideology and daily life, all features of such life needed to be searched by oneself and by others for suspicious heresies and deviations. So it was far more prudent to maintain silent after which verify with headquarters for the precisely correct line. Since every cult is grounded on a religion in the infallibility of the guru, it becomes vital to maintain its disciples in ignorance of contradictory infidel writings which may wean cult members away from the fold.
For such an attitude was conclusive proof of the defective “loyalty” of the disciple to his guru, Ayn Rand. If the cult grows beyond a number of members, it naturally becomes hierarchically structured, if solely because the guru can not spend his time indoctrinating and watching over every disciple. But a very powerful sanction for the enforcement of loyalty and obedience, a very powerful instrument for psychological management of the members, was the event and observe of Objectivist Psychotherapy. Frank Meyer relates that Communists preserve their members from the dangerous apply of considering on their very own by maintaining them in fixed exercise along with other Communists. It is no surprise that the large psychological strain of cult membership led to a particularly excessive turnover within the Randian motion, relatively far more so than among the Communists.

For the moulding processes of the cult did succeed in creating a new Randian Man for therefore lengthy because the man or woman remained within the movement. Failure to attend these lectures was a matter of severe concern within the motion. In consequence, just about all the New York motion lived with a number of sq. blocks of one another in Manhattans East 30s, most of the leaders in the same residence home as Rands.
Under Randian concept, emotions are always the consequence of ideas, and incorrect emotions the consequence of unsuitable ideas, so that due to this fact, private dislike of other (and especially of leading) Randians should be resulting from a grave canker of irrationality which both had to be stored hid or else confessed to the leaders. And but, a year or so later, she informed a pal that the Randians had been proper, that she had indeed sinned and that they need to have expelled her as unworthy of being a rational Randian. Driven by their conception of rational responsibility, each Randian lived in and certainly was himself a group of spies and informers, able to ferret out and denounce any deviations from Randian doctrine. The judicial mechanism to resolve such concrete disputes was, as typical in cults, the rank one enjoyed within the Randian hierarchy. He was deathly afraid to ask the question, it being so primary that he knew he would be excommunicated on the spot for simply elevating the point; however he had full faith that if Rand ought to be asked the query, she would reply it satisfactorily and resolve his doubts.
