The specific analysis of group behavior within spiritual communities, focusing on the herd mentality of enlightenment-seekers. It explores why, when one person in a spiritual group starts wearing only white linen, everyone eventually starts wearing only white linen. It studies the phenomenon of the "guru effect," where a charismatic leader can say something completely nonsensical ("the moon is made of cheese, and you are that cheese") and the entire group will nod sagely, pretending to understand. Spiritual sociology confirms that the desire to belong is often stronger than the desire for truth.
