Finally I understand Hari Malla’s underlying premise.  Over the years he has thrown up a lot of arguments or enticing premises which now seem  irrelevant or more superficial. He now explains how he sees the earth – and the quest.

This interaction between ACC and his group has been very enlightening  and should be studied by all students of The N…[Read more]

Hari and all,

Your statement makes me wonder how you can be involved with Jyotish at all! You are aspiring to the timeless, beyond the cosmic manifestation, to that which is unmoving, unchanging. So, I have to ask again, why are you dealing with the essentials of a creation in matter? Why put so much effort into correcting anything if you do not…[Read more]

Dear Hari Malla,

In your reply to Thea’s posting you wrote:

‘Dear Theaji,

Thank you for writing a long reply to my suggestions. The Earth, the orign of Time, is our mother who takes us to the eternal Father who is beyond time and is the space of sun and the stars.. The earth timings and the solstices and equinoxes are necessary as a sta…[Read more]

The Precession of the Equinoxes, marking the backward passage through the zodiac of the Astrological Ages: each completed round consists of 25,920 Earth years; an Age is 2160 years. We are in the Aquarian Age since 1926.

A. Constellations (outer sidereal circle) and the Tropical Zodiac (inner circles) with four Cardinal Points

Finally, I need to point out that Nirayani astrologers base their calculation of the Zero Point ON THE WRONG CIRCLE. You use the sidereal with its constellations composed of Fixed Stars many light years away from Earth. According to your claim that zodiac ‘has shifted’ its Zero Point, for which a rectification is required both for the calendar and…[Read more]

“Ian wants to steer clear of being labelled dogmatic and narrow.”
I’m generally indifferent to being labelled, whether accurately or otherwise, though I’m not entirely sure as to what this statement refers. Is it the “scammed” comment, the comparison with Scientology & Integral Yoga, or something else?

“All those who have been milked on USA…[Read more]

Sorry, folks, that should be condescension (not CONDENSATION!!!!) in the last para! Thea

(I just lost another comment! And I am submitting this without the spelling check; please bear with me because that is how I lose what I write.)

The gist of what was lost was that Ian wants to steer clear of being labelled dogmatic and narrow. All those who have been milked on USA liberalism have this concern.

I gave the example of what I faced…[Read more]

I’ve only just noticed that the two posts above were actually submitted, my browser was having difficulties at the time.

If one is simply examining the hard details of the two systems then yes, they are very different. However, from a different, wider perspective one can also see them as two similar living entities but sustained by different fuel…[Read more]

I understand that the Supramental Descent and Cosmology and the idea that consciousness unfolds and manifest with certain harmonies and geometries in Time and Space will occur as fiction … that’s very true.

But I am not sure what you mean about paying for higher and higher rungs of teaching. Paying who? Do you mean paying for books? The whole i…[Read more]

There is a five minute video on YouTube explaining the origin/science fiction story. Scam is definitely an appropriate term!

Here’s a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOdF_3RIXJ4

Have you seen the documentary Ian? To say that Integral Yoga and Scientology are similar is VERY FAR OFF Ian. LRH’s wife admitted that he started the religion to make money.

‘L. Ron Hubbard writes that, 75 million years ago, the head of the Galactic Federation, made up of 76 planets, was a being named Xenu. Faced with an overpopulation problem, he…

I believe Mr Hubbard was merely doing what he thought was the right thing, Lori, and from the description you give Scientology and Integral Yoga seem not so dissimilar, though a major difference would be the type of payment – money as opposed to sacrifice.

One ought to be very careful when brandishing words like “scammed”, especially towards Sci…[Read more]

You’re welcome Tim, I just find it amazing that LRH invented this religion out of thin air … out of the realm of Science Fiction … in order to make a money, and wow did he make money. People literally bought into it. One has to pay and pay for higher rungs of teachings … and finally apparently one learns at the very high levels some very insan…[Read more]

Thank you for this Lori… I think I might like to post this on FB… I had a brother involved in COS and did my best to convince him that he was participating in a cult… there have been countless stories, one documented I think in Time Magazine… about the abuses.

Tim

After this very damaging documentary, the IRS is going to be put under pressure for allowing COS (Church of Scientology) tax-exempt status. The reason it did seems to be that COS launched thousands of lawsuits against the IRS all over the country and agreed to drop them if they were given tax-exempt status of a religious organisation. The IRS…[Read more]

Lori, what blow is the IRS going to deal to Scientology? I haven’t been following the news, though I have read quite a bit about Scientology. Fill us in. Thea
