Re: Coming to terms with stupidity

Amen to that Brother! That's why the Shankaracharya got the chop. Real holy men do not retire, they die with their boots on.

Re: Us gay folk...

Watched a TV program on Four Corners the other night about Scientology. Chilling portrait of life inside the organisation. Now that is a dangerous organisation. Their spokesperson knew nothing of the allegations that were brought up. Reminded me a lot of the leadership in the SES. We know nothing!

Re: Us gay folk...

Joeblogs said 'I never once had one spiritual experience in the school.' My question would be, has anybody had a spiritual experience in school? Very few I think! My 14 years listening to experiences given in groups would confirm this, including myself.

Re: The truth behind SES leaders' aborted Indian pilgrimage

Does anybody know if Vasudevanada gets a cut from the Meditation money? I believe it is still one weeks wages which must be a good money spinner, considering by simply googling TM mantra and looking at the 1961 mantra, you get it for nothing. I believe in the Hindu tradition you are not supposed to ...

Re: Post-Cult After Effects

Always think of John Lennon's beautiful song Imagine. No heaven or hell, a world without religion (or SES) living life in peace. Imagine if this world really did live in peace. WOW!

Re: Post-Cult After Effects

Daska if any teachers beat up kids whether they are in the SES or any other school I believe they should be brought to book for their actions. That is what the law is for, but it must be proved in a court of law. I myself would be happy to donate $1000 towards any case that is mounted and I'm sure o...

Re: Post-Cult After Effects

The point that should be made about the SES is that it is not a prison. Okay maybe with some people it is a mental prison but whose fault is that? The door is always open and you can simply walk away from all the Indian teaching, meditation etc, as I did. The only problem as I see it is the children...

Re: THE SES and THE LAWS OF MANU

Ganagaji had the same problem as Hillary Clinton and Elin Woods had. As Hillary said about her husband, Bill is a "hard dog to keep on the porch" But as the Lord's Prayer says we have to forgive so Merle G let Eli off the hook.

Re: THE SES and THE LAWS OF MANU

Think we should keep posts about SES only. Plenty other places where people discuss Gangaji's teachings. But no objection to giving a web site for those that are interested.

Re: Coming to terms with stupidity

Hi Cousin, Can I prove the existence of God? No. But I know that something inside me believes that there is more to life than three score years and ten. Thats why I'm a seeker like so many others. You join organisations like The School of Philosophy, gain experience, take what is useful and then mov...

Re: Bridge over troubled water....

Hi Jo-Anne Enjoyed your post about 'just ideas' and suppression of debate as we have all have the same experiences as you. I got so fed up about this, that on some group nights I gave observations that were completely made up but followed the party line. At the end of term the tutor came up to me wi...

Re: Coming to terms with stupidity

Hi Carlynnm8 According to Hindu cosmology the Yugas or ages are governed by the distance our sun is from the grand centre (Vishnunabhi), the seat of creative power (Brahma). So put simply, as we are in the Kali Yuga which is the furthest distance away from this grand centre, our spirituality will be...

Re: Coming to terms with stupidity

Don't think the SOP was a place of fun under Mavro or even when he left. What kept me in school for 14 years was the hope that around the corner someone would make a breakthrough. They kept introducing something new, for example in the mid-eighties it was reflection so one stayed a little bit longer...

Re: Coming to terms with stupidity

The theory side of school seems to be acceptable but the practical side seems to be just plain stupid. The only way to see this is to take a good look at your fellow students. Observe the "older students" who have been in the school for years. Do you admire them? Do you want to become like...

Re: Newspaper Articles

Michael (Mosko) Mavro is a man of two faces. To his workmates at the Electricity Commission he is an engineer in the transmission department.But to members of the School of Philosophy he is The Master - a man who is closer to God than any other and one who must be obeyed without question. It is only...
