Is anyone one this site familiar with the Halifax Center(Canada). There was a big "upset" in that center a few years ago that had big ramifications in NY. Does...

I agree with Adriano, when you said that a spiritual master can give you inspiration to search for God. But for me, that's where it ends. Have you ever really...
Dear Frank, Certainly the experience you describe sounds a powerful one, and beyond coincidence. And, as I said in my last post, it is not possible for us to...
To ex_brazil (Adriano?) I am with you. When I first left the center (and we're talking about 25 years ago, now) I also felt that I didn't dare interfere in ...
