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.

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" ? Is it that you have joined in some other part of the world where the name is different? ( In some places, for instance, it's called the School...

Clara, your testimony was indeed moving. I was in the SES for over 20 years and have children about your age.
