It is undemocratic because the very concept of progression is the achievement of advancing stages of hierarchal levels of development which are meant to be exclusive of the average. The Cult of Personality promotes the individualistic propensities of progressive elitism, representing and promoting the personal images of elite achievement. It is also used to produce the illusion that such singular achievement is in some way possible for nearly anyone, wherein the true nature of most progressive achievement involves complicated hierarchal organizations to produce such accomplishments. The purpose of this illusion is to preserve concentrated power by hiding its existence and shielding its methods, aims and purposes from the general population.
The Cult of Personality is utilized for a number of political purposes. Personalities are used to promote political ideas, individuals, parties and party platforms. Cult personalities, as for instance movie stars, sometimes become politicians and politicians themselves may adopt the characteristics of personality personification. The Cult of Personality is also used as a means of Propaganda and information bias
by those that control the agencies of media dispensation. This may be accomplished by the polarization of the Cult of Personality into the glorified
and villainous persona.
The glorified persona represents the values, goals and ends of the Metaphysical Ideal as already indicated in the foregoing material, in conjunction with the cultural, political and religious power structure and media operators, which in general reflects the perspectives of their own self-interests and of that from whence they are granted their entitlement to operate. The vilified persona as a concept, represents ideas and ideals which are antithetical to the existing power structure. Because this structure does not want a discussion of content critical of itself, and because it does not want it known that there is a constituency for such criticism, an individual, usually a leader, is selected for vilification by character and personality assassination. Attention to content is deflected and all dialog is concentrated upon the personality and history of the villain who is associated with everything evil.
