Re: SFSK Devotee

To the person who put up the post previous to this one. (i.e. I do not want to call you by the name you have used) It would appear from what you say that the name you have used is the worst misnoma that has ever been used on this forum. So you should know that most forum members will simply see this...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

to Ahamty2 and others who do not want me on this forum, I fully respect that this forum started off to help those who, in one way or another, had been abused by the regime at SES in those days-gone-by. This is especially true to those whose lives were abused as children. It is an unforgiveable crime...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

MOTS If you read books on Advaita Vedanta the same way you read my posts, then it is no wonder you have not yet found what you are seeking (according to what you have said yourself that is). You will have to accept it whether you like it or not. You made the link with the term "modern scientifi...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Dear Ahamty2, your negative and uninformative posts make many unfounded presumptions about me. Read my post above to MOTS - you may find some of it applies to the way you read what is written. Also read the above post to GD on 4th Feb. The sentiments in that may also apply to the kind of comments yo...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Dear MOTS, In my post - where it mentioned scientific "theories" I invited the reader to "come to their own conclusions" - after which I gave two options to choose from. It was entirely up to you to follow this up - come to your own conclusion - from the alternatives offered. (i....

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Well that sparked a few interesting comments did it not? It is all much simpler than that. Whatever our previous background, we are all human beings with some things which we all share in common with each other. Take for example the times when there was a combination of a place, with maybe other peo...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Ahamty2 and GD, we all have to accept or not many things in our lives. Some need to be taken on trust until we find out for our selves. There is one important thing you may have missed and therefore you may not have considered whether you need to accept it or not. It is quite simply that some people...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Leonie, Be also careful of German philosophers. There are some good ones, such as Meister Eckhart and Jacob Bohme. Most of the others I find are more lost than MacLaren was. It is very tricky when we do not have an authoritative reading list. Hence, it is difficult to know who to take seriously and ...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Dear Leonie, Where you say "since some of it concerns keeping people deliberately in ignorance" I presume you mean to say the Laws of Manu may say this and not the life style of MacLaren et. all. However, you do not say in what source you found this " keeping people deliberately"...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Dear GD, My apologies for not answering your last question, " So, where does lying and dishonesty fit in with the Shankaracharya Tradition?" But unfortunately it may mean I need to refer to documents from ancient India - which I know you may have an aversion to. However, believe me or not ...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

Dear GD, Thank you for your post, however I did keep a copy of the PM I sent you, (as I do of all posts and PMs which I put up) we will have to differ over the actual words used, if you continue to insist on the version you have posted. But I simply copied the words from the PM and put them up as a ...

Re: Nothing Wrong with SES

GD - all you say is true of course. But it all applies to doubters and sceptics as well. Just suppose you are with your last few breaths - then the thought comes - "I wish I had done something to find out what it was all about really. Instead of wasting my life on all those things which did not...

Re: Nothing Wrong with SES

Earlgrey, we should ask the question, "Why did anyone from SES go to Shantanand Saraswati in the first place?" OR RATHER "Why did Dr. Francis Roles (Leon MacLaren's first teacher) from the Study Society seek for decades answers to the questions left to him by P.D. Ouspensky, and event...

Re: Mistakes against the Shankaracharya Tradition

NINTH MISTAKE - NOT UNDERSTANDING THE WAY OF THE HOUSEHOLDER Despite the recent pollution of this stream by StillatSES - I will continue -with the narrative. Arising from the EIGTH MISTAKE which was brought to our attention by Joe-Anne Morgan. (well done Joe-Anne) this mistake is about the confusion...
