The problem here is intent. All we know is that a website is using a Science of Identity trademark and that noone from SOI has even attempted to deny affiliation with this group. The Golden earth goes deeper in it's nuttiness than just natural disasters such as rising tides, tornados and earthquakes (last year according to an article on the site there were supposed to be two predicted earthquakes in LA that would force people to start leaving the city). The Golden Earth Ascended Masters Brotherhood, which one can only assume is refering to the Great White Brotherhood that Muktananda swami was involved and other gurus claiming to be incarnations of past well known religious figures, from what I can gather is a little known mayavadi group. The Brotherhood is possibly those who attained Samadhi and are now incarnations of the supreme or they are born that way and are therefore especially gifted it is not too clear. Knowing of Siddha's claims of having attained Samadhi it would be easy to believe at the time he came under the impression that he is now an Ascended Master. That is one nutty possible connection.
I also considered the intent of attaining some level of power as SOI does have a Real Estate business: Tad Taylor's Healthy Homes and Hawaiian Healthy Homes. Now there is the idea of forming a community and Siddha, BF Skinner, Muktananda and others who may or may not be involved think that community living is the best solution. Organic foods such as many of SOI's organic farms Muktananda also had ideas of organic living. Anti-homosexuality was another trait of Muktananda's group. Many Mayavadi gurus also have an interest in political involvement on varying levels. ACB went to a peace rally and left as he was told he wasn't allowed to chant and he made it clear he had no interest in the political aspects of wars not based on religious principles. So Siddha didn't appear to get it from his spiritual master. It goes against Siddha's own teaching and if he were truly expecting a mass distruction of civilised society at any moment like the Y2K bug at the exact turn of the century why would he care to get involved in politics? After mass destruction on earth much of the government would be destroyed and the constitution would have little value once all computers failed. So there is obviously something up in the Siddha camp that he is not being up front about his own teachings and not even acting like he accepts his own teachings.
Other similarities between Muktananda's group and Siddha is that the gurus and close followers make great attempts to live in certain material wealth. There is a focus on germaphobia and chemical intolerance which is more mayavadi than personalism as personalism focuses on chanting and impurity of the body is preferable but not to the detriment of the philosophy. It is a lower concern. In Mayavadi purity of the body is important as it will affect a person's chakras. An ASM newsletter that Cara has says ASM now has chakra cleaning and bone breathing or some other nonsense. Why are they so concerned with purity of this material body after so many years of stating that chanting is all that matters and besides that there is little reason to be concerned about the body nor desire to stay in the body.
There was a study done across Canada where numerous chemicals were found in people's bodies regardless of how clean living they are. One girl had chemicals which had stopped being made years before she was born. What to speak of the rest of the United states. You can't avoid it no matter how much you try.
Devin Bull who worked on the Gabbard campaign also holds protests for cleaner environment. That sounds like a nice behavior but it is so against what Siddha teaches. The Tad Taylor website says that Down to Earth and Golden Earth Marketplace were involved in earth day. Golden Earth Marketplace is an SOI run business that produces safe furniture for the home and organic products such as linen and baby clothes and scent free shampoos and so on.
The Tad Taylor site also promotes environmentalist activists and states a number of dubious informative news pieces presenting unbelievable information as fact. Such as 50% of americans are carrying the Hepatitis c virus which is closer to 1% and no country in the world has hepatitis levels that nywhere near that high. This would also means that the cult indoctrinates 50% of the Hep c commuity and I doubt their pre-Butler service Hep C results don't come out at 50%. Also it states that the HIV virus can live on warm surfaces for upto 3 days and that mobile phones (according to unamed non-industry sponsered tests) heats the brain cells to astounding levels and causes people to have head aches. It even suggests that you cover your oxygen tanks with tin foil as the coating is made from a dangerous chemical.

Where does this fanatism of the body's healthy, purity and longevity come from. I have never heard Siddha speak remotely like this. He infact teaches not to be so concerned about such material matters.
Siddha has gone either exceptionally nutty or he has some unanounced agenda that he is not forthcomging about as he has become (or always was) anti everything he teaches himself and has taught for over 40 years. We can easily assume this Golden Earth site with it's articles composed by a 17th century personality psychically channelled through this Sharline Martin who also had dreams an increasingly apocalyptic future which instigated her to publish these maps. How is this Great White Brotherhood philosophy any different to SOI in practice. We can forget theory as SOI gave up on their own theory long ago.
They won't come forward and say anything. They are completely secretive and devious. Cara's website does tell her who visits and many were from Hawaii, Australia, California, the Philipines and even Polland specifically countries which have a high SOI base. None of them wished to make a statement on her site or explain to her the reason for the many dubious facts presented on this forum. SOI has denied nothing. All they have done is suggest that her faultfinding is detrimental to her spiritual life. They seem to have not a single ounce of concern that they are following an abusive cult leader who makes faulty doomsday predictions which is seemingly used as a scare tactic only since Siddha doesn't give up his political anti-homosexual campaign in light of the coming mass death and destruction.
Now Cara's site has been removed from Xanga due to all these SOI people who are admittedly largely aware of Siddha's dubiously held title. So what is this cult really about? There is much more than meets the idea as noone even involved in the corporate and politically motivated, apocalyptic, religious hindu/christian, anti-homosexual, germaphobic, chemically-intolerant, patriotic, paranoid, materialistic, fanatical cult seems to have any interest whatsoever in the actual long-held ideals that are constantly bemoaned by the group and Siddha that were taught to me.
The cult is completely deviation of it's original and ongoing aims and this for the most part seems to be competely intentional. But we will never find out cause the apparent deviousness is kept completely from the public. You are behaving like complete liars and hypocites so Cara has every right to portray you as such. These websites are falsely believing that they may be sued for Cara warning the public about your dangerously paranoid cult and toenail eating and you seriously think that getting the sites taken down will be effective in not getting the information out there? Hmm? You have been given plenty of opportunities to explain yourselves and offer members of this thread a reasonable response to the questions people have about you cult and you have totally refrained from doing so. Beside Rasha Kishkas explanation that we don't know why Siddha appears to be a destructive cult leader and that doesn't mean that he is because our senses are imperfect. Like get a real philosophy. An ape could come up with a better justification for SOI than that. Hypocrites and liars. You are all pathetic and I'm sure Krishna thinks so too. Krishna wouldn't want you representing him on the internet and you'd be a complete embarassment.
