Re: How many people still read this Forum?

I was once invited to attend a similar event at Sarum Chase in the late 1980s, by some of the St James 6th form girls (who later went on to join one of the early foundation groups), however my sister had to return urgently from Italy and I was called away to collect her from Luton airport - so I was...

Re: How many people still read this Forum?

There have certainly been many 'experiments' or changes over the years. The difficulty is getting to understand the core or fundamental beliefs around which change can and does occur, but beyond which the SES has so far proved incapable of moving. For instance to bring about real gender equality of...

Dear ses-surviver, You wrote: I have no idea whether this took place in response to a request from the ladies for the men to step up and do their duty or whether it was part of some wider experiment. In the couple of years that followed a number of the men in their mid-30s married or became engaged...

Re: Biography of Leon MacLaren

I have just finished reading this and once I've gathered my thoughts I'll post a full review. One extract which will probably be of interest to people here, would be the short section on pages 212 & 213 in the chapter The Lion and The Lamb in which a number of incidents are recounted, showing th...

Re: How many people still read this Forum?

I have also read some posts about young girls in the past (I hope) being manipulated to meet older SES men at events, but now I can't find the topic again. I was horrified and disgusted at such organised treatment of young girls. Oh Dear, I remember that sort of thing going on in the late 1980s. Th...

SOM radio adverts

was rather rudely awakened from sleep the other day by the sound of an advert for the School of Meditation on LBC Radio http://www.lbc.co.uk during the Nick Ferrari program ... yeah I know. Normally I'd be listening to the much classier Alan Brazil Sports breakfast on Talk Sport :) There's also an a...

I haven't been here in ages either. During the period that the board was down I just got out of the habit of popping in here. This evening I was walking up Marylebone Lane and I passed the SES building in Mandeville Place ... It still feels wierd to look in and actually see a computer screen on the ...

Strangely, the SES (and the Study Society) went to HH Shantanand Sarawati for knowledge and he gave them what they wanted, all the dry stuff. However, HH was a Shaivite, a devotee of Shiva, he had a devotional side, as all Shankacharyas' are. They sing and chant praises to Shiva, they are devotiona...

Re: Food folly

Never been clear ? I'm surprised as it was often re-iterated to my group. So ses-surviver, which is it? Is it meant to be a lifestyle or something that you only follow whilst on school activities? You've said it is clear but you haven't indicated which it is. Lifestyle. 'measure' wasn't supposed to...

Re: Food folly

Most senior SES students ate omnivorously whenever out of SES sight ? such hypocrisy! This is one thing that I have never understood about the SES. It has never been clear to anyone about whether the practices and so called measure put in place during residentials is something that people are expec...

I don?t know what the current School diet is, but the one we were introduced to and rigorously adhered to was this : Milk (Unpasteurized) Bread (Homemade) with Butter Cheese Honey Fruit (Only what was in season) Nuts (No peanuts, only nuts produced above the ground) Yoghourt (Homemade with unpasteu...

The School in London was teaching Advaita Vedanta in the 1970s and 80s. Indeed. Once past the early stages of 'Middle School' (does it still exist?) and the misery that was "measure", the material made no attempt to hide Advaita Vedanta. Maybe it was the 'stream' that I was in at the time. However ...

Re: Very long post - sorry!

What a great thread. I couldn?t resist adding something. A bit rambly but who cares? I think I went the other way. I am one of those who is in love with Mozart ? though this love did seem to peak shortly after the 200th anniversary of his birth in 1997 ? following which I seriously overdosed on his...

Justice, I can't agree with this characterisation of "FACT", based on my many years of experience inside SES. While they do practise mind control, often somewhat inadvertently (more on this in subsequent posts), they don't use "Hypnosis" with "the clear aim of indoctrinating others." IMO, their des...

Good quote but debenham got their first: as in his 1989 newspaper interview: quote ? heavy metal leads to drug taking?. In the defense of Debenham, perhaps he was alluding to heavy metal intoxication with lead, mercury, iron, copper, manganese, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum, silver, and beryll...
