SES Forums

Thanks Justice,

If the link below is the same swami whom Mrs T met in 1975, perhaps she had an effect on him too?!

Hi Mikew,

I was in London SES, so no not been to NYC school. But the issue is that the international Leader Donald Lambie has ultimate authority over all the schools.

Best wishes, Bluemoon

Mikew put up this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/17/nyregion/17critic.html?_r=1 Super - but not a very penetrating analysis is it?! They never seem to last longer than a term before they feel qualified to write informatively about the organisation! Happy New Year to you all by the way. Still s...

Somebody explain to me how this view can possibly be considered objective.

I have already said above that I don' think it can be.

There's a review out already: http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/0856832766/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

If anyone can face reading the book I would certainly be interested in reading a review by someone here.

Lots of "nice" people in the SES including the latest author - and he will receive some kind of protection from the real questions that need, again, to be asked about the SES.

Very interesting you should say that. I think that's right.

Best wishes, Bluemoon

Your words make perfect sense Millie. I was not in the SES as a child (didn't join till about 28 - then spent 20 years in the organisation) so I am not sure if anything I can say will help, but even so you are not alone. I know Brian H from my interest in economics in SES and I found him to be a rea...

Thanks Bonsai, if woodgreen can say under which heading the info about the Rishi's is that would be great. Here's a 'quote of the month' from that site by Leon Maclaren (there's plenty of them - this ones at the bottom of the list): "You do have to hear the knowledge. Now people think they do o...

Thanks woodgreen, Woodgreen wrote: The McLaren Foundation website has some scary stuff on it in this respect. Apparently some "perfect" Rishi's met in the 800's AD, and decided that England (Christian) needed a shot of discipline or lessons ( from the (Hindu) Gita). McLaren is being hailed...

Thanks, Woodgreen. That's very interesting.

They say they provide:

"Pastoral care for people involved with an NRM or AS issue"

Since SES is a named NRM (New Religious Movement) on their site, I may look into that.

I just wanted to put in a good word for Mrs L. I did not know her personally, just through her being around, although she did come to talk to my group once. I found her to be a delightful creature, gentle and kind and genuinely a lovely lady - hard working too. She was married very young too I think.

I felt very special because I was on some special path that other people werent aware of, and therefore I was better than them

This is one of the most important issues I think.

Dear Joeblogs Thank you for your post. Intolerance is not ‘spiritual’. It is not only very sad, it is as you mention very dangerous too. The manner in which you describe people laughing about AIDS I find cruel and sinister. But I know the atmosphere in those meetings only too well, a kind of soporif...

Breaking news.....
Donald Lambie, Shane Mulhall and Barry Steingard had flights booked to India to meet Vasudevanada

Apparently it was cancelled by Vasudevanada.

Thanks for the update xseeker.
