The Boston Tea party

?It?s not like that now? is the new SES mantra. It was the same mantra when the Secret Cult was published 21 years ago. But in reality nothing of substance has changed.

Submissions to Inquiry

Thank you SL

Katharine Watson

Ross You will find KW in the NEW MESSAGE FROM DAVID BODDY string which she started. She now teaches at St James (since about 1998). A good egg as they say in PG Wodehouse stories and willing to experiment and follow her instincts whatever the consequences. A rare egg indeed in the SES inasmuch as wi...

SES school today

Ross, You are right about Ouspensky, he did tell his followers to disband but not because it HAD BEEN a con but because he knew it was inevitable it would BECOME ONE. He foresaw that the organisation they would form would go into decline as they tried to crystallise and enshrine his teachings and pr...

Daska, Why is your father surprised at the arrogance of Boddy and the Governors? He has clearly been 'in the school' for a long time so he must have seen the fallout from the Secret Cult publication in 1984. The general response then was the stoically Churchillian: 'Never complain and never explain'...

Terms of reference

Many of the terms of reference posted by ET (thank you) appear to still be predicated on an inquiry that is limited to the period form 1975 - 1985 (references to fading 20-30 year old memories etc. and statements such as only 3 teachers from that era are still employed).
