Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 At least Christ declared he was here to save sinners and not the just. But I can no longer officially advocate Amma as being what i thought she was and what she's promised, etc. And none of that press BS about her not claiming anything. Too many of her devotees follow New Age beliefs and practices. Fine if you choose that, but that's not Sanathana Dharma. New Age lets you believe whatever you want, do whatever you want. That's Amma in real life. Children do what they see you do, not what you say. 1a. She doesn't guide or correct you anymore than your own mind (inner guidance, etc.) That's New Age and is faulty because it IS your own mind. 1b. Therefore, you don't see any real progress in her long time devotees. Being nicer or calm can be attributed to getting older and more laid back about life. This also allows her org authorities to act inappropriately and think they're doing right, simply because they're not being corrected. See 1a. 2. From the books and the early days, it's like you're being sold one thing and receiving another. 3. Cult-like acceptance of 'wrongs' and org infallibility. I was in an Aikido cult once and an ambitious probabtionary-black-belt nearly broke my neck in a throw, trying to impress 2 lady members. The reaction to witnessing such a thing caused one lady to quit and the other to adopt the infallibility stance of it must've been 'my issue'. But policies and beliefs don't heal paralysis. I got the hell out, but not without some permanent injuries to my shoulders. 4. The switch from spiritual focus to a humanitarian focus, without being forth-coming about it. Having the youtube Amma videos up, I'd occasionally get emails from people, sometimes posing as a newbie, trying to warn me Amma's a cult. And now the scale has tipped and I feel the same way. It'd be better off for a new person to avoid the whole seen, since it's steered away and gotten so bad. I'm leaving up the Gayatri video to honor her, and if the org wants to start trouble, then let them. It'll be all the more honor, and prove my point.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 beloved tom.this is very simple dear one.what you have said was meant to ne said by you.that is your experience of who SHE is,however dear beloved child of CHRIST if you like.how you see AMMA is merely a reflection of yourself.it is your very own hypocrisy that makes you " think " you see AMMAs so clearly. tom,you and AMMAs sun are very similar,we don't get are way and we throw tantrums and selfishly ,influence others.can you accept this about yourself tom,or is it much easier to BABEL on about AMMA?you have been so loved and accepted on this AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA, . at some point you will become more grateful for what LIFE has given you!one of the first marks of spirituallity is " GRATITUDE " ,we are so alike beloved tom.YOU SHOULD AT LEAST BE GRATEFUL TO AMMA FOR BEING THE INSPIRATION FOR THE CREATION OF THIS CHAT GROUP THAR HAS ALLOWED YOU TO EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS and act out simply like a child.CAN YOU ONCE cop to what tom needs to improve on or change about his character. THAT IS WHAT GIVES YOU AWAY EVERY TIME.YOU point fingers and ,i know you learned in SPIRITUALLY CLASS 101 ,that when you point " one " finger at someone ,you have four pointing back at yourself.so,who cares about your opinion about AMMA?surely TOM does more then anyone else.do you feel good now that i have capitilized your name like AMMAs?
