From One Cult To Another...

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Please stop it already. And what exactly is the relevance? Is one of the directors a former classmate of whom you are envious? Is that the reason for posting the bad reviews?
--- End quote ---
doesn't seem like its reviews or envy here, but someone went from one cult straight to another (Ramtha)?

Hell I have seen many people try to go on this quest for spiritual enlightenment and it just be another cult. Look at the "Hare Krishna" people... " Jim Jones" ( We all know what happened here )... "Charles Manson"... and the latest that I have come across is "Eckhart Tolle" with the "Power Of Now"....
It's amazing how people get on this quest for the "Holy Grail" exploring some type of so called spirituality that is no more than a step away from "Worshiping false gods" ( ::hehehmm:: )
Ron L Hubbard and Bob Dobbs with their scientology getting rich.... I think we need to start our own religon and call ourselves "Fornit-cators"

What brought Vanda Mikoloski back into comedy, now 'Quantum Comedy' after teaching yoga for 9 years? The film "What The Bleep Do We Know," a suggestion by Elaine Hendrix (Jennifer in the film) Vanda’s brother Pavel Mikoloski, and L.A. comic Rick Overton, who encouraged Vanda to develop an act of her own and when she balked, told her "But you're an elder. You've got to give back to the tribe now." Pivotal words for Vanda of whom Bill Maher, a former boyfriend from her days as a comedian in New York says: "Vanda is superbly smart and funny ... funny and smart ... both of those."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramtha:
There are many skeptics of Ramtha and JZ Knight's channeling abilities.
Most books regarding Ramtha and RSE come from JZK Publishing, one of the several companies started by JZ Knight. Other books somewhat sympathetic to Ramtha like Finding Enlightenment: Ramtha's School of Ancient Wisdom (See Literature section) have ties to RSE in other ways. J. Gordon Melton, the author of Finding Enlightenment, testified for J.Z. Knight in a 1992 court case against her former husband Jeffrey Knight.
Other skeptics point to Ramtha's story as proof that he does not exist. Ramtha claims to come from the continent of Lemuria and to have conquered Atlantis (which he terms as "Atlatia," which was only one of several major civilizations at his time, he claims). This is easily disputed.
James Randi, a famous skeptic, criticised J.Z. Knight for charging people $700 to attend a retreat on how to become rich and, tongue-in-cheek, suggested that the advice was likely on how to fake channelling [5].
The movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? is also a source of controversy involving Ramtha. Critics of the film describe it as pseudoscientific fiction and not the documentary it claims to be. JZ Knight appears to be "channelling" Ramtha in the film as an example of alleged connections between ancient spiritual beliefs and new discoveries in quantum physics. Two of the three directors of the film are admitted students of RSE.

Doctor: "Send her in to see me"
Patient: " I would but I need the eggs"
So who is to say? It is no more bullshit than mormanism, and we are about to get a LDS prez. ( ok maybe a little further fetched) I guess they need the eggs.

Life's grand, eh? Check back in another dozen years, I'm sure it'll be something else. To be fair, it'll be something else for most of us.
But tell me, why does this sound like a commercial for a Lifespring seminar?:
--- Quote from: ""Vanda M."" --- About me:
Hi! I was a comic in the 80's and now, after a prolonged period of substance abuse, and an entirely-too-serious dalliance with yoga and meditation, I am back to do stand-up about what I really care about, on my terms, creating my own audiences, healing anything that ails anyone through laughter! I'm mostly just working on headaches at this point, but my goal is to restore appendages to their full glory and to have tumors, benign or malignant, melt before our eyes ... Also, anything that may be awry with your car.... Here's the deal that inspires me, especially now that I'm in Hollywood: The more agenda, the less connection. If I remove all the agenda from what I say and do and be, who would that leave me with? I'd say a Vanda who is peaceful and ebullient. My comedy is "an irreverent romp down my twisted spiritual path." Why am I talking in quotes? Come see my show- Enlighten Up!-Aha's and Ha-has w/Vanda & Friends – Spiritual/Metaphysical/Transformational/Enlightened/Conscious/Cosmic/Quantum Comedy that Inspires & Heals Feel free to check me out live at my web site: www.vanda.us. There's a video demo on there showing my schticky-schtick. I need a boyfriend who is technically adept. Did you hear the word "need"? Oh, that's attractive. I am committed to have myself watch my language, and eradicate all of the "story" from my speaking. Either we are at the source of our reality or not. The sub-atomic realm either responds to my mind or it doesn't. Jesus, I am my own little quantum life coach! If I just stopped using the word "need" everything would be transformed and my level of effectiveness would shoot off the charts. I'll start that today. How come if I practice piano everyday for decades I’m a virtuoso, but if I practice sex I’m a slut? I do practice sex a lot and I’m not getting much better at it. It’s slow going, really. My goal, my intention with my sexual practice, my “Carnegie Hall” if you will, is to reach new levels of surrender and release and intimacy and connectedness and creativity and comfort with a man such that I can walk around naked with no inhibitions in front of him. Like St. Francis of Assisi, I renounce all worldly things like clothing, attracting children and birds, and I walk in front of his family and his entire hometown at the same time telling them what I really, really think.
Who I'd like to meet:
Great, like-minded people from everywhere... Great, UN-likeminded people from everywhere... My cousin, Jesse Sykes... the wreckage I left in my wake called "old boyfriends", to whom I owe a huge apology, I am certain... Sorry, gentlemen, I was trapped in a worldview that had it easy for me to leave ... People who love comedy about freeing oneself from the human dilemma... The man of my dreams, with whom I share a big, huge, large, big house overlooking some body of water (and other houses, so we can feel superior)...I am so kidding. I ain't no golddigga ...a visionary who supports me while I be great in the world. He loves the warm, tropical storm that I am. This guy loves luxury and play and fun and ease ... because I will treat him like a king and will devote myself to his flourishing! lots of adventure ... an embarassingly intimate liason, plumbing unknown depths of connectedness... no secrets: raw, human connection ...courageous connection.... a love affair with life and with each other that has everyone around us flourish. We are an incident in human history. We have more fun washing dishes than most couples have on their honeymoon. We spend half our time doubled over in laughter. We have unprecedentedly great sex. Oh God, I said "sex". Now every juvenile little geek will ...

I heard John Huston reply "I am just pimping for my baby" when Johnny Carson asked him why he was on the talk show circuit. He had a new movie out.
She is selling. How many times did say sex in there? I have to go pull out my Joni Mitchell CDs and find the song Sex Kills. "Crazy Ions, the balance is undone. ....The oil leaks and the gas spills and sex sells everything. Sex Kills." There is a great Canadian for ya.
Ursus:
You're right, now that I re-read it. It's a cross between "This could be your life too, if only you discovered the way of the Rump-tha," and an entry in a dating service description.
{tongue-in-cheek}The somewhat self-congratulatory tone is tempered by the obligatory AA/Narcanon opening lines: "Hi! I was a comic in the 80's and now, after a prolonged period of substance abuse..."
Mmmm. I wonder just what some of the moms of some of the Hyde-DC kids might think of her. Especially the ones who have "juvenile geeks" for sons. And who have difficulty coming up with next month's utility bill, let alone the rent. Let's talk about a shot of reality here.
