As a new student in the American branch of the SES, I am continually amazed by the level of arrogance displayed by the School regarding this proposed ?independent internal inquiry.? These Terms of Reference were obviously written ?in-house,? by an SES person. STRIKE ONE for independence. The Terms w...

Mike & Bella, I too have had posts vanish into the ether when I hit "Submit," and it seems to happen when I have too many cookies...if I erase my internet history the problem is solved. ADG, I'd be interested to hear what you have to say about an introductory evening?Heh, that's not a dare or pr...

Hello all, Something I forgot to say, that came up when I approached this tutor abut the abuse allegations raised on this site (I don't like calling them tutors, since they are actually teachers or moderators -- a tutor is someone who works with you one-on-one) anyway, he said something interesting ...

Hi Bella, teenage girls and men in their 30s don't sound like such a great match to me. Even if the marriage does work, these women likely look forward to an exceptionally long widowhood. But "grooming" sounds even more odious when the girls involved are unwilling participants. Here is a post from "...

Hi ADG, I got the full quote you're refering to from the John Colet school website (http://johncolet.nsw.edu.au/Articles/seniorgirlsphilosophy.html). By the way, what town/province do you live in?

Hello Bella, I am a currently registered student in the adult school in New York. I've read some of your old posts, and am curious how the school in Brisbane responded to you when you raised the allegations of child abuse on this board w/ them (I'm assuming you did so -- since the events people desc...

Hello Tom Grubb et all, David Boddy may ?deny any connection? with the Maharashi, but the SoPP (and I would imagine the SES) still recognizes TM initiation. I was chatting w/ a tie-wearing student at the break the other day, who said he was initiated in TM in the 1970s and that the SoPP told him as ...

Hi redden, I'm an adult student in new York. I wanted to draw your attention to an article I found very perceptive, by an academic philosopher who attended the SES first course in London & wrote it up at http://www.philosophers.co.uk/portal_article.php?id=28 He expresses very clearly that what t...
