A Quest for Community
Thursday, October 02, 2003
During my years of spiritual
seeking I've been involved with several pretty male oriented groups,
including: the Gurdjieff Work, Scientology, Budhism, TM, Sufi Sam, est,
the Landmark Forum, and most recently Damanhur. These groups were all
led by charismatic male figures with a tendency toward dividing the world into "us and them" combined with systems of top-down hierarchical control, a style that I find myself less attracted to at this
point in my life. Somewhat ironically it was an experience at Damanhur
that woke me up to the more feminine domain of the "Goddess."
