LINK REMOVED I was part of this group back in the eighties, and tried many times to find it after renouncing the group.
Was that the hill at Likely Ca. ? after being moved from Shasta ... there were many white robes there that year.
Ah, man! I ain't been to Likely in over 20 years! I hear it's really bustling now with a golf resort. And last I heard the "Most Likely cafe" is no longer running. The old woman that had it "likely" past away. Man, she did a great job cooking. And she was such a sweet heart.
hari where did you go and what about lightning amen, the christ family white robes and bare feet ? :sunny:
Thanks for this. ) I've been wanting to meet even one of them for years. I was part of this peaceful (yet strong) group..I never met or saw the leader (amen) we were always where ever we wanted, either alone with one partner or with large meetings. Most of us walked bare feet, but in buses we would wear sandals. One Brother I walked with the most was named Christopher. To me he was like a strong and silent samurai. I miss waking in the wind ( bare feet travelling) but I feel that was for a time (hope not)
Yes, we walked barefeet even in the cold pavement, some could chose to wear sandals but to me it felt much better without any kind of shoes. This was back more than twelve years ago. I never met the leader since we were dispersed all over California, and some overseas. (as I heard) I never felt so free and with a mission. Imagine seen 4 or five brothers preaching to any kind of people in the streets of San Fransisco, and them being attentive to the message :No killing no sex and no materialism. It felt always like a mission even if you were on a restaurant or in the street. I do miss that life since now.
I Also remember that I was with Santana on the same stage but instead of music it was Shri Chinmoy who was the guru of the united nations showing all his 3 thousand paintings he had painted on an assembly line (he would throw paint on the rolling canvases ) we didn't see the process but we only saw the work (on a screen) already done. I found this to be mediocre and superficial. The second time I went to see him (to see if it was better) I stared at him in sort of disdain and his presentation fell on the ground. I just wanted to see Santana up close and maybe talk to him, he was three rows in front of me but I felt that it was better to lay low and watch the presentation, yet I left early. In those days (70's ) the music sucked and we were sort of expecting better, so the great sixties was really the best we saw, I guess musically and in every field....it was the days of " Hey...Can soup is art too"
I have read that a man wearing a robe is a sign of sexual humiliation. This goes back thousands of years. I wore a robe, a 'sister' said she was raped by a 'brother'. Faith can move mountains. Knowledge can move universes [universities]
