lagged behind in the refinement of the terms that are used in analyzing the other forms of religious origination. Bruce Campbell discusses Troeltsch's concept in defining cults as non-traditional religious groups that are based on belief in a divine element within the individual. He gives three ideal types of cults: a mystically-oriented illumination type an instrumental type, in which inner experience is sought solely for its effects a service-oriented type that focuses on aiding others Bruce Campbell discusses six groups in his analysis: Theosophy, Wisdom of the Soul, spiritualism, New Thought, Scientology, and Transcendental Meditation. In the late-nineteenth century a number of works appeared that help in clarifying what is involved in cults. Several scholars of this subject, such as Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) and Bruce Campbell, have noted that cults are associated with beliefs in a divine element in the individual – either soul, self, or true self. Cults are inherently ephemeral and loosely organized. There is a major theme in many of the recent works that shows the relationship between cults and mysticism. Campbell highlights two major types of cults – one mystical and the other instrumental. This analysis can divide the cults into being either occults or metaphysical assemblies. Campbell proposes that cults are non-traditional religious groups based on belief in a divine element in the individual. Other than the two main types, there is also a third type – the service-oriented cult. Campbell states that "the kinds of stable forms which evolve in the development of religious organization will bear a significant relationship to the content of the religious experience of the founder or founders." Classification by origin and development In standard sociological typology, cults are, like sects, new religious groups. But, unlike sects, they can form without breaking off from another religious group, though this is by no means always the case. The characteristic that most distinguishes cults from sects is that they do not advocate a return to pure religion but rather promote embracing something new or something that has been completely lost or forgotten (e.g., lost scriptures or new prophecy). Cults are also much more likely to be led by charismatic leaders than are other religious groups, and the charismatic leaders tend to be the individuals who bring forth the new or lost component that is the focal element of the cult. Cults, like sects, often integrate elements of existing religious theologies, but cults
