Apech Posted December 7, 2012 Yes something to do with Blavatsky or similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted December 7, 2012 Golden Dawn cove I suspect but Madame B was in on the ground floor when spiritualism kicked off in England so maybe. My friend Lucy the Sufi (reading at Tea with Spirit tomorrow) claims to be Madame B reincarnated. She does rather look like her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laughingblade Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) KH was one of Blavatsy's hidden Himalayan masters from whom she received guidance. After a while several other Theosophist high-ups also began to hear from him... it was all rather competitive, and rather mucky. The history of Theosophy isn't particularly inspiring. Â It's gotta be tricky to distinguish between a genuine astral connection or channel, and one's own psyche or imagination. Occam's razor may apply. Â When I came across the "I see dead people" people I always wondered why they never actually had a spiritual or cultivation practise of their own...

GrandmasterP Posted December 7, 2012 I do 8 strands of silk brocade, have done that for quite some time. I see 'dead' people semi-professionally (I get paid for doing it when I do it, but have a proper day job too) It's indoor work with no heavy lifting involved, very busy at the moment with end of the world scares and such. Always good for business, people like reassurance that this isn't all that there is. Check out the website via my profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be my first "people who see dead people" person with practise of their own. I'm cynical about it as it's another thing I can't verify for myself, and mostly what dead people have to say seems random and prosaic. And of course there's plenty of opportunity for scamming the punters.  with cultivation practises I can do stuff and see what happens, which seems far more sensible.  I see you're and old sannyasin too. Howcome you're not teaching neo-advaita like everybody else?  ...just trying to strike a happy medium...  Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) LOL It says Extra Large on my T shirts. Once a sannyasin...... I pay income tax on my teacher salary, the rest I do for fun and charity. Never really understood that 'neo' in Neo Advaita. If anyone takes the trouble to peek behind the curtain, it's all Tao anyhoo.
