The way BITE works is really interesting to me. Each of the main three, Behaviors, Thoughts, and Emotions, have the power to influence the other two. Information, when controlled, limited, or presented in particular ways, influences all three.
For example, the thoughts and emotions of a cult member are consistently and persistently molded and reinforced via attendance at indoctrination sessions (meetings), participation in recruiting activities (field service), and use of loaded language (theocratic lingo). By regularly participating in these behaviors, the member becomes inclined to thinking they are important and worthwhile and feeling that they are a positive part of his/her well-being.
In the other direction, the thoughts and behaviors of a cult member are consistently and persistently molded and reinforced by inciting the emotions, particularly fear and guilt. You may think field service is a waste of time or you might think you have something more important to do than attend the meeting on Thursday night. You have been indoctrinated to feel guilt when such thoughts surface and to feel fear if or when you act on them. Those emotions influence your thoughts back into alignment with what the organization wants you to think (that field service is the best possible use of your time and that there is nothing more important than going to the meeting) and the behavior the organization wants follows. You go to meeting and go out in service. You have pushed down the rational thoughts of your genuine personality due to the emotional control of the cult personality.
Information control informs all of it. Fear of information that challenges the organization's viewpoints and guilt over even considering looking at any apostate material results in the member limiting his or her store of information/knowledge to ONLY what the organization wants them to know. Nothing else. With limited information like this, there is not much in the mind to provoke any independent thoughts, and when they do happen to arise, as in the above example, emotion control stifles them.*
Thus, the organization gets the desired behavior from its members, which is really all it is after.
(*These examples aren't meant to be exaustive. They are just a tiny sampling of the complex web of control that high-control organizations exercise over their members. The point is, B and I and T and E all interact and reinforce one another, and a successful cult will use all four on a consistent, persistent basis.)
