Mind Control Starts With the Conclusion
This is how mind control works. Start with the conclusion and go from there. Once you start the loop it's extremely difficult to break out of it.
Most religions and all cults do some form of this. Scientologists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Muslims, Evangelicals, etc. Start with a small commitment and get sucked in.
In this loop, if the system is not working for you it's "cause you're not trying hard enough. What you need to do is to try harder/take on more/pray more fervently/fast longer/volunteer more/pay more/sacrifice more to prove your commitment" which, of course, is self-reinforcing.
What a scam!
