"Do not criticize."
How did they say one should respond to wrongdoing, in that case?
For example, would they really say murder should not be criticized?

Re: SFSK Devotee
Hello enlightened, You have indeed raised a really interesting topic, you wrote: I posed a simple question: Are the spiritual practices enough to deal with your "stuff", or does one need therapy as well and previously In the spiritual sense all this "stuff" is the result of 'karm...

Re: SFSK Devotee
MW, Ella, Dr Allan, Thanks all for your clarification. This points to something I've always wondered, a thought prompted by observations of the behavior of SES members: How does one simultaneously aspire to the reward of being a better person who has attained a state of higher spiritual progress, wi...

Re: SFSK Devotee
@MW I'm very curious about this paragraph you wrote: Students are told that the “sacred” mantra they’ve been given has the unique effect of “drilling down” through the layers of ego, clearing away the “sanskaric” material (the results of past improper actions) as it goes down. But the deeper layers ...

Re: Nothing Wrong with SES
StallatSES, Yes, self-deception is at the heart of the matter, and the reasons for it are often (possibly always) answered by personal psychology. Anecdote for you: one SES member gave a speech on why they are a member, it was all about how wretched they once felt about themselves, that they hated t...

Re: The Family Survival Trust
Dr Alan, I quite agree. Personally I don't use the c-word, partly for this very reason. I've posted the links for interest - not because I agree with all the content. Guess you'd concur there is a distinction between (i) religions and (ii) spiritual groups that say they are not religions. One is mor...

Re: Nothing Wrong with SES
Hello StillatSES, How have you been keeping in the last few weeks since we last heard from you? You mentioned about time commitment, which is a theme everyone familiar with SES can relate to. I once looked at it in comparison to religious observance. In my observation it is standard for SES members ...

Codependency and narcissism
For interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codependency A subject definitely worth considering, and researching deeper for further reading, in the context of trying to explain what egotistical rewards people were drawn to in SES. It also supports the view that one cannot entirely blame the leadershi...

Re: Nothing Wrong with SES
Dear Stillat, Thank you very much for replying. In my view you are being very honest and therefore strong. I recommend you continue on the simple course of inquiry and analysis, it is no more nor less than that. As far as I'm concerned the one certainty you can be sure of, and trust, is that there i...

@Earlgrey
I respectfully disagree. StaillatSES's contributions are helpful to us all and I for one will encourage them as much as possible. If you think it through a little more, I've a hunch you might see why - but there's no need to spell it out.
Best regards

Re: Nothing Wrong with SES
Stillat SES - would you agree that you could appear to others to be breaking your own rules? Because (i) you're communicating with people who've left SES, and (ii) you are being very negative indeed - about this forum. Is this negativity not the very poison that you allege is held in others? As to y...
