about federal infiltration to some degree).<br />
The Upper Echelon<br />
If you make it for four years (or happen to gain certain types of<br />
acclaim, like having a lot of money) you may be in the Upper Echelon.<br />
These people are necessarily shadowy and have the national or even<br />
international picture of what is going on with Infection. Some of these<br />
people have achieved a high level of mastery. Some have done unsavory<br />
things that have protected them. A few aren’t Infected at all but have<br />
stakes in the game. Some are “black magicians.” Some are almost<br />
homeless people whose revelations have given them a voice at the<br />
highest levels of the organizations.<br />
The Underground’s Technique: Unbelieving and Management<br />
The Underground, wrong as it is about the real nature of Unsanity and<br />
<strong>Wonderland</strong>, continues to thrive and even grow because they have hit<br />
on something that helps those who are Infected: they have touched on<br />
the methods of Unbelieving. Infection is caused by really, on a deep<br />
level, believing an Impossible Thing and, if one was honestly able to<br />
“unbelieve it” they would be cured.<br />
The basic technique of the Underground, while unfortunately insufficient<br />
and improperly realized enough to actually cure Unsanity is able to<br />
slow its progression substantially. In some cases it is even possible that<br />
subjects have been stabilized by them, so long as there are sufficient<br />
group members to make the Support Network viable.<br />
Methods of Unbelieving<br />
To be effective members of the underground must be active in their<br />
unbelieving. This consists of two behaviors:<br />
• Group affirmation and<br />
The Pledge: I (state your name) suffer from CPD, a disease<br />
which medical science neither understands nor can cure.<br />
I (state your name) commit to the program only and I will NEVER<br />
discuss my disease with Mental Health Professionals nor will<br />
I reveal the program to the authorities.<br />
I (state your name) commit to NEVER self-enable my disease and<br />
endanger the group by embracing my disease.<br />
I (state your name) commit to helping others as I have been<br />
helped to the fullest of my ability.<br />
I (state your name) commit to following the advice and guidance<br />
of my sponsor.<br />
validation that the <strong>Wonderland</strong><br />
experiences not real.<br />
• The group ritual of<br />
repudiating believers.<br />
Additionally: the group has<br />
to be large enough so that the<br />
support is significant and there<br />
are enough unbelievers to be<br />
castigated, repudiated, and<br />
ostracized.<br />
The Underground does not<br />
consciously realize what it is<br />
doing; understanding it (and<br />
therefore, acknowledging that<br />
they are rejecting something<br />
that is, in fact, true) would<br />
destroy its effectiveness.
