East Dulwich Street cred.

The Palace of Peace?

Nature's Grace, Blue Aquarius, incense, vegetarian food, love & peace. Still sounds wonderful.

If I'd lived in ED back then, I know where I'd have been spending my time.

As if we couldn't have guessed from your name ;-)

Palace of Peace... gullible fools blindly following a religious cult... it sounds like everything that is wrong with the world.

[Alan Medic]

Thanks Jeremy. Things have changed a lot since those days but people needing peace hasn't.

Yes, nicely summarised

It's called getting old.........I know.

[Seabag]

How old is 'The Fox'

Older than Louisa I reckon

[MrBen]

He is. The Fox is about 68 To 72. Louisa is 55.

[Louisa]

Getting old and reminiscing I guess it's just part of life. The fox and I tend to stray off on tangents because it makes us happy to talk about old times and faces we miss. It's not to belittle people today making their very own memories in different places. Not in the slightest.

Louisa.

I know/knew quite a few people who were into things like that in the seventies/eighties, and none of them were gullible, or fools.

I don't think whatever is "wrong with the world" has anything to do with those people who are seeking peace. Far from it.

Only just seen this thread, BTW, and what a load of boring bollocks.

Things change. Get used to it. If you can't get used to it and you don't like it, move somewhere else, don't waste your life criticising the people who do like living here :)

Somebody call the cops! It appears we have a Turkophile living in our midst.

Just to be clear. Are we talking about this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Rawat

You're right, all sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Sue.. I seem to remember on more than one occasion yourself talking about moving somewhere else..

Why might that be if you like it here so much... ??

Many people already have moved elsewhere.

Old ? getting there .. Every day you get a little bit older and a little bit wiser.

Tired ? Never been fitter..

Why don't you post your mug shot up on here.. ??

In fact perhaps a few more should do the same..

I expect it's a combination of 'a desire for privacy' and 'lacking that slightly narcissistic tendency'

I've got absolutely no idea who the guy in question was. Never heard of this Peace Palace in East Dulwich before.

I was talking in general terms, hence my use of the expression "things like that".

Maharishi, for example, and Transcendental Meditation, which a lot of people were into at that time, including The Beatles.

I'm not quite clear why being attracted to inner peace should be damned as being "everything that's wrong with the world".

I'm sure some of these so-called gurus were charlatans and yes I expect some of the people who followed them were gullible. It doesn't make all of them charlatans, and it doesn't make all their followers gullible. No more than Christians, for example.

[DulwichFox]

Lush so you continue to launch insults..

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks.

[Jeremy]

Sue - quite obviously I have no problem with peace (or even meditation if that's your bag) but I do have a problem with people peddling rubbish, and the sheep-like, unquestioning nature of some people who seem to be attracted to these supposedly charistmatic people.

No point discussing the pros and cons of the whole "spiritual" thing, since you're clearly more open to the idea than I am, and we won't change each others minds on that any time soon.
