Mission Creep and Scopemongering

All information creates a reaction in the mind: that is the intention.
This is so important to understand.

Officially, ‘mission creep’ means the unintentional scope of expansion – the side effects. There is also ‘scopemongering’ where the expansion is intentional, and the side effect is the hidden agenda. You know there will be a reaction.

Belief = ‘mission creep’.
Scopemongering’ = blind faith in whatever we are told.

The intention of scope expansion is to seek approval for a modest, easily acceptable goal while secretly intending to expand it once people are ‘hooked’ as they’ve already committed to that strategy. This makes it harder to pull the plug later; once people have invested their entire life on a belief, they aren’t willing to give it up.

If we take the spiritual path merely to find happiness and comfort, we can be lead by the nose to hell.

Happiness is remaining stable and at peace,
whether conditions are pleasant or unpleasant.

We don’t need to believe when we know.
