Hi Everyone. I haven't been on the site for a while. I seemed to lose it somehow and then got busy. But I manged to find it again and have to say how much the stories resonated with me. - that is the poor man with epilepsy and the 50 women and the piece of paper. I loved the laundry story. Very typi...

I haven't been keeping up with posts of late - busy with work etc - but I was interested in this idea about women not being able to be realised. I remember being told by our tutor on several occasions that women could reach realisation only through obedience to a husband, or if they had no husband, ...

Hi Leontius. The only question I can really answer is that we were very definitely told not to have any contact with those who had left the school. It was said that when someone left the SES they 'went back to sleep' and it was cruel to disturb them by keeping contact. Also it was said that they in ...

Yes, there was definitely a connection between the Marharishi and the school in the sixties. I think it was before he became involved with the Beatles. I've talked to several people who met him.

One thing that I have learnt over the years is that most (all?) of us have a shadow side. The man had too much power as did many of the tutors in the SES. They bullied and got away with it. I am just grateful that I was not "good" enough to reach a high position in the SES although I was in it for m...

I have to admit anti-ses, that your name is rather puzzling. You mostly seem to defending the SES. And, if you have never been a member, why are you 'anti" ?

Clara, your testimony was indeed moving. I was in the SES for over 20 years and have children about your age. Thank goodness I was not able to send them to the SES schools for various reasons but I dearly wanted to do so at the time as we were told that only the children at your school were having a...
