I thought Eckharts you tube talk on pain bodies was interesting! He refers to ones in society at large. Maybe you can see parallels with how the WT feed disaster and pain to followers in the link below?
It's about how we all aquire, from childhood, attachments to our true self which bully and supress it (our true self is restricted by things which instill fears and guilts in us which stop us being ourselves). He calls these attachments pain bodies and egos.
Pain bodies love to feel hurt, humiliated, depressed, traumatised etc in preoccupying the real self from its presence - enjoying the NOW.
Egos thrive and seek other attentions and react to negatives.
It struck me how the WT have built up a giant pain body in each follower which oppressess and condemns the true self into submission.
It also struck me how they build up egos in leaders, to accompany their well developed 'pain bodies' which thrive on their role and suppress their true caring self enabling them to inflict guilt and fear on the pain bodies of followers.
