ABSTRACT
The mobility of the technical mystics among various spiritual groups can be expressed as networking as mentioned by Judith. Molly, a feminist spiritual actor, uses the expression ‘widespread community’ to describe her experience of network. The mode of locating authority in the inner self facilitates ‘spiritual mobility’ that is the eclecticism in spiritualities. These spiritual actors are seekers and they network. They shop around in the cults–and in the cultic milieu–and they consume spirituality on offer. Explaining the cultic milieu only in regards to the production of spirituality does not aid in the understanding of the movements of spiritual seekers among ideal-types of cults. R. Stark and W. S. Bainbridge’s conception of cults is especially relevant for the description of the cults’ structure that is their type of organisation which produces spirituality. Audience cults are the most diffuse and least organised kind of cult.
