Dear Moderator, I am sorry that the last post caused any suspicions! If it helps, the last post can be deleted. And thanks for the many questions, as i mentioned earlier I had many disputes over several different topics with James in the course of the last five years. We had many fights one could even claim. But to answer your questions specifically I would need quite a lot of time, which I

Hi everybody! I hope you are doing well and enjoy the upcoming holidays. I wish you a great family gathering :-) This came via email to me by a friend of mine, he would like me to post it for him: "I have been studying with James for eight years.  I and my friends have hosted and organized James' classes annually for the past eight years.  I am completely satisfied with my life an

Thank you Heather, That clarified much. Am I correct in paraphrasing that you feel optimistic and confident by telling in this forum what you have experienced and to warn students of James who are vicariously affected?
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Thank you Heather for your reply! Is my paraphrasing correct that your reply to my question, on what motivates you to speak in this forum, is to see James suffer and receive a punishment? Am I correct to assume that the suffering caused therof among those who consider him a friend and teacher is acceptable?

Thank you Earthquake, I have not been in contact with James since the middle of October when I attended his event in Germany. And I have nobody else who supports me in the way I communicate here in the forum. @Traveller Thank you for the reply, I enjoyed reading it. I also noticed that i felt much more comfortable reading your post because I value tolerance which I saw manifested in you

Hi Earthquake, Thank you for your lengthy reply. You wrote: "We want the attention. [...] approaching 18,000 views now." Am I correct to assume that your goal of replying to my emails is to increase the views of this thread with the final goal of "I want everything to be presented professionally."? When you wrote you want attention and views, How many views would

And I can see clearly that you two (inlcuding Earthquake) have been hurt by James. I am very sorry for this and I hope you can forgive him at some point in your life. I have a question for you Heather, Travelle

Hi Earthquake, I am very happy that you took the time to reply to my posts thoroughly. This is very kind of you, thank you! I will try my best to do likewise, please let me know if you find this approach helpful. "You are also not interested in your own clarity." Thank you, Earthquake. May I ask you if you feel uncomfortable in our exchange because clarity is very important fo

" Though you have not addressed a single point in the modern vedanta teachings that they teach." As far as I understood, modern vedanta is the personal interpretation of Advaita Vedanta. I thought I did explain that james teaching is based on swami Paramarthananda and Dayananda. Can you outline in what way it isn't?
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Hi Earthquake, I took a look at your posts but I have the feeling that the James you have met, is a different James I have met. Swami Dayananda, Swami Paramarthananda, Swami TV, Neema, Radha,... James always pointed out that there are more teachers and publicly admitted of reading transcripts of Swami Dayananda and Swami Paramarthananda. He encouraged me to study with Chinmaya Mission, and

Thanks Earthquake, I appreciate your post. Indeed I cannot claim to know with 100% accuracy if my understanding of Advaita Vedanta is correct, That is because I have come across numerable ways of teaching it. Dayananda taught it differently than Chinmaya, Tapovan was criticized by other vedanta teachers. Many of the shankara monasteries frown upon those who teach Vedanta in English, and swami

My name is Aenas and I have been studying with James for about five years. I have met many very educated and compassionate people along the way at James seminars. My life has truly changed in unimaginable ways to the better thanks to James exposition of Advaita Vedanta. He is certainly not a "perfect" human from vegan/save the world point of view but the most generous, loving and calm p
