      Except:
      1) you never had such an experience.
      2) you are not a trained yogi who did 10 hours mediation every day for ten years and who can raise your kundalini at Will to your crown chakra
      3) you have never manifested powers such as astral projection etc.
      4) you may not be capable of differentiating any such future experience as being real as opposed to fantasy from within your own mind.
      The story of the man ‘hearing the voice’ is not all all comparable to your example.. as the context of the training that man had been through and his abilities are not at all comparable to yours or mine.
      Unless they actually are (I don’t know) .. in which case I’d take your training seriously too.
      Also I haven’t heard any of the recordings of a cosmic master transmitting through you while at you are in trance so it’s hard for me to judge whether any claims makes by you would be genuine.

      precisely 😁 the power of suggestion... companies spend billions on influencing us, so how can we avoid that?
      in this case, george king decided to act on these "voices": but george king is guessing where they come from just like everyone else. basing an entire religion (or system of belief) on voices believed to be external and from "higher realms" would land me in the nut house... (and all religions are actually based on these irrational precepts), yes even christianity (and i happen to have been brought up in that faith)...
      how is george king different from me, or you? (ask yourself this carefully dear readers)... did he have independent income or savings, so he could pursue his dream? if i said to my employer, or the government, i am hearing voices from higher realms, i'd be denied employment and benefits. people need to engage their brains when examining cults.

      @@patinho5589 with respect, we are talking about the power of suggestion, are we not?
      sidneyvicous's experiences are not known to us, rather he deploys humor to make a valid point about the power of suggestion used by religions and cults, companies and governments the world over.
      sidney's experiences, i would like to contend, are just as valid as anyone's elses, and alternate views are crucial when examining powerful cults and religions... doing this with humor is, in fact, a splendid way of deflating the seriousness and pomposity that many religious groups and leaders have. we need balance and humor when discussing these deep spiritual issues.
      what qualifies anyone to say they are a "cosmic master"? what does that even mean? i studied the hatha form of yoga for years... this does not mean i'm a "cosmic master" in touch with "higher forces", it just means i'm probably a little more energized and flexible than other aging middle-aged folk 😋
      i wonder if these "recordings" made by george king are freely available to hear on the net? (i notice aetherius society
      is a fee-paying membership, so i'll do some digging about this, since some cults (scientology for example) find ways of making their members pay for "higher courses"... (the idea being members are given access to higher knowledge)... which is debatable.

    Are these speakers still working for the church today ? Is Ray N. still the head of the New Zealand area ?
    Its the messages that are important, not just the source. There is a lot of love and wisdom in The 9 Freedoms and 12 Blessings and I enjoyed the talks by Paul Nugent and Richard Lawrence 5-6 years ago. This is a spiritual message that requires a lot of contemplation and meditation. The members are involved in several "peace activist" type organizations throughout California, including Rev Paul's Interfaith missions and the World Peace Pilgrimage to Mt. Baldy.

    What strikes me about the members of this group at the difference with the members of any other church or spiritual path I was privileged to visit, is that in this Aetherius Society I only noticed devotees of such spiritual potential to be defined four-dimensional. All of them, whom I have so far met, are uniformly at a very specific level close to the beginning of the fourth dimension. This applies also to the members present in this video, except for the interviewer, who is well above average in terms of spiritual potential but not yet four-dimensional as all the interviewees are, the ladies being a notch more advanced than the gentlemen.

    • @writerNB
      @writerNB 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      hmm...in the ancient texts, there is a balance between men and women (that is really lost in modern society). but with respect: you arent really supporting this balance with "the ladies being a notch more advanced".
      without female energy, men can only thunder, without male energy, women can only mourn the prospect of an empty womb. so when the male and female energy is united, it actually has great power.
      i am not entirely sure what you mean be "four dimensional" ? time is considered the "4th dimension" in science, but once you get into what "time" really is, this is a difficult concept to define. i think of time as an energy field, personally. it appears to be linear, but there are moments of "synchronization" or "coincidence" that happen to most of us, indicating time energy can coalesce (or show us something) we are not expecting.
      i'd say everyone on this show is an "advanced thinker" in some ways... many of the concepts are obviously re-dressed christian teachings (jesus was particularly compassionate to womankind, if you read the gospels carefully). the idea of "mother earth" makes sense to me, too. the speakers are all passionate about giving thanks to mother earth for her many gifts (an observance, sadly, i don't see many political parties and commercial companies endorsing).

      ​@@writerNB Am referring to the inherent spiritual potential quality present in the vibrations emitted by an individual. Such a presence can be perceived in how an individual thinks and expresses oneself. However, the vibrations are there even when one is asleep, they are not part of a thought process of the mind because they originate from the soul or Higher Self as some prefer to call it. "The ladies being a notch more advanced" does not refer to all women but to what I sensed in the case of those mentioned. Spiritual potential is individualized and depends on the degree somebody is open to one's soul. This has, per se, nothing to do with the reasoning of the mind or emotions or feelings, but with the wisdom of the soul. If humans would only be more open to inner truth, to their soul (this group is and that is encouraging). All divisiveness, negativity, trickery, phoniness and whatnot would evaporate. Even the law of attraction would end with the elimination of any mind-constructed obstacles because on a soul level, primordially and ultimately, we all resonate to one another intuitively. Spiritually lesser evolved beings, such as animals, have a collective consciousness and rely on instinct.

    I went to one of their meetings in Parsons Green...I consider myself reasonably sane...I heard a recording of Dr King burbling away to a 'mother-ship'...you simply couldn't write such nonsense. It was quite hilarious. The earnestness of the acolytes trying to make sense of the utter gibberish was priceless. Dr King was was just a chancer who'd seen the how Ron L.Hubbard of Scientology fame was beginning to make a good living from his crackpot theories...and decided to jump on the band wagon himself.

    Is this Aetherius Society have any type of Jewish origins or influence?

    • @ObserverDingue
      @ObserverDingue 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No specifically Jewish influences, no. The originator was a London cabbie who was into yoga, meditation and occult ideas in the 50s. According to Wikipedia the 'religious' aspects derive from the theosophy of Helena Blavatsky.
      --"The theology of the Aetherius Society is regarded as firmly based in theosophy, the Aetherius Society combines UFO claims, yoga, and ideas from various world religions, notably Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. The society asserts itself as a plural or liberal religion, stating "nor does God favor people of one religion over another - and certainly not people of one country or race over another". Stefan Isaksson notes that it has "become a complex religious belief system that includes an extraterrestrial hierarchy of various spiritual masters and such concepts as universal karma and religious healing." The religion's goal is to prevent worldly destruction by improving cooperation between humanity and various alien 'masters', and by using 'spiritual energy' to improve the spiritual calibre of the world."

    As an Aetherius Society 'incommunicado' resulting from my alternative points of view which resulted in being kicked off their Facebook Site and one-sided communications with the Directors of the AS, I present this as a thought.
    1) Shouldn't those that have been made persona non-grata be informed of the exact reasons WHY further communications cannot be allowed to continue?
    2) What are the grievous crimes that those individuals made persona non-grata been accused of? Who determines that crime? Why don't the Directors, themselves, come forward and in the light of transparency elucidate those 'crimes' if indeed these are even crimes.
    3) When the Aetherius Society changed it's Constitution in 2013 did it give ALL it's members the fair chance during it's EGM to have a say? Was this voting done without duress? Was it done fairly? That is, did the Directors ALLOW those who disagreed with the Constitution change a chance to make this concern at that meeting? Or were they kicked off the membership before they could even make a democratic vote in the correct spiritual manner as outlined by the Cosmic Masters and Dr King?
    4) Who were the authorizing individuals that determined which members could and could not attend that meeting in 2013? Was there a conflict of interest there? What procedures does the Aetherius Society have to avoid, or to protect, the original Constitution as predetermined by Dr George King, the late Founder/President?
    5) 'Indifference is a shocking crime' according to Dr King. We might say that the selective voting of the 2013 constitution was a form of manufactured consent. Is this the type of Democracy that Dr King wanted? Or did he want the Society to run along Dictatorial lines? What did Dr King say about this and did he authorize a dictatorial future for the Aetheius Society's governance?
