Hey Michael, I'm sorry that your filter gets clogged so easily and that you seem unable to separate the positive aspects from an experience from the negative ones. I never bought into the aura of the Ballards. I was intriqued by the story of St. Germain, and the Ascended Master deal and spent about three months checking it out. And there were some good things that I took away from it.
You love to parrot how the Ballards were frauds. You've made that pretty clear. I think we, (or at least I), have a pretty good idea of what you're "against". I'm still not sure what you're "for". And too bad you feel the need jump all over people for what was an exploratory process. I mean you childhood sounds like it was pretty darned good. But I guess you suffered abuse later from spiritual teachers that has left you somewhat jaded. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson <mjackson74@...> wrote: > > The St. Germain schtick - 'splains a lot - even if you read the books there > are some dead giveaways that those two were frauds > > > > > ________________________________ > From: seventhray27 <steve.sundur@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2013 9:59 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tonight! > > > >  > "seventhray" is a carry over from the time (the few months I spent with The > Saint Germain Foundation here is St. Louis)and also some of the literature > I've read regarding the Ascended Masters.
