Spiritual Teachers Ratings Page

[manamana]

The Link to Tolle in Spiritual Teachers Ratings Page doesn´t work, because in page source someone forgot the "h" in "Eckard". So I give you a free "h" to correct this absolute nonexcusable mistake.

I didn't see a problem with the link from "Ratings" to Tolle. The links referencing Sarlo's page in the Tolle review were broken and I fixed them.

I think I remember reading this web site a couple of years ago. The format was quite different, very colorful but the message was the same. The difference is that there were a lot more teachers on the review page. Am I mistaken?

None the less, I am curious if anyone remembers Jan Cox? I was introduced to his work in Phoenix, AZ twenty years ago. Some may recall that he wrote several books, Magnus Machina and The Death of Grudjeiff in the Foothills of Georgia.

Also, I am curious to know what the group's impressions of the following are:
Byron Katie and Steven Harrison.

It's a pleasure to meet you all. Thanks to the website founder. Great website.

Hi lgalvan: Shawn can give you an update on the history of the site when he gets a chance. Of the three teachers you mentioned I am only familiar with Byron Katie, and her teaching seems excellent to me.

Hi,

Perhaps you mean this ratings sections on another site?

I posted a question in another forum about where Lester Levenson fit in.
I got a luke warm response which surprised me. Comments about making money, etc.
I think they have him confused with Larry Crane and Hugh Dwoskin who seemed to have exploited his legacy.

He died in '94, so I'm thinking he's not running that website.

If you are looking for enlightenment instead of getting a better life, then there are many better teachers out there. Why bother with LL? His messages are relatively weak.

Hi Shawn. I'm writing to see if you would be willing to rate my spiritual teacher, Meher Baba. He has helped me more than words can tell and I believe what he says with all of my heart, so I want to spread his message of love and truth as much as possible. Meher Baba dictated that "Now is the time for all to understand that I am God in human form" and that his Universal Message should be spread "far and wide" and given "to all, irrespective of whether one believes in me or not". It is copyrighted © by the Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust (www.ambppct.org) and reproduced here by permission of the Trust.

"The Universal Message" of Meher Baba

"I have come not to teach but to awaken. Understand therefore that I lay down no precepts.

Throughout eternity I have laid down principles and precepts, but mankind has ignored them. Man's inability to live God's words makes the Avatar's teaching a mockery. Instead of practicing the compassion he taught, man has waged crusades in his name. Instead of living the humility, purity and truth of his words, man has given way to hatred, greed and violence.

Because man has been deaf to the principles and precepts laid down by God in the past, in this present Avataric Form I observe Silence. You have asked for and been given enough words — it is now time to live them.

To get nearer and nearer to God you have to get further and further away from "I", "Me", and "Mine". You have not to renounce anything but your own self. It is as simple as that, though found to be almost impossible. It is possible for you to renounce your limited self by my Grace. I have come to release that Grace.

I repeat, I lay down no precepts. When I release the tide of Truth which I have come to give, men's daily lives will be the living precept. The words I have not spoken will come to life in them.

I veil myself from man by his own curtain of ignorance, and manifest my Glory to a few. My present Avataric Form is the last Incarnation of this cycle of time, hence my Manifestation will be the greatest. When I break my Silence, the impact of my Love will be universal and all life in creation will know, feel and receive of it. It will help every individual to break himself free from his bondage in his own way. I am the Divine Beloved who loves you more than you can ever love yourself. The breaking of my Silence will help you to help yourself in knowing your real Self.

All this world confusion and chaos was inevitable and no one is to blame. What had to happen has happened; and what has to happen will happen. There was and is no way out except through my coming in your midst. I had to come, and I have come. I am the Ancient One."
