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

Yes, nicely summarised

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.

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 :)

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'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.

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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
