just what the world needs, another cult.

I second that :(

Wikipedia is a great source of information about cults, but then again it depresses me...

Rocky-  I just went and checked out their site.  Cookoo for cocoa puffs!  Here is one of my favorite blurbs...

"We are a little more than just two years away from the first ascension gateway. Our preparatory passage through the years of 2011 and 2012 is the most  important phase of all of our earthly embodiments combined. It is imperative that a certain number of us make full transition into the new I AM Avatar consciousness blueprint in order to blaze the way for the rest of Humanity to follow."

They do sound like the Heaven's Gate folks.  I bet we will be hearing more about them. Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap indeed! But there is method in their madness. Reading their simple 3 step program, which surprisingly consist of (and I quote here): 

 

Step 1 - Synchronize your desired time for receipt of transmission to these four global hourly times...

Step 2 - Suggested donation for this service is $33 .... 

 

Message here is give us money for some spiritual reward.  Almost like the Catholic church selling indulgences.

Something that the Catholic church hasn't done since the sixteenth century.

I think it was Aristotle who said:  "There is no idea, so patently absurd, that someone won't believe it!"

Funnest thing in the website: Click here and at the bottom of the page, you'll see this:

 

Suggested donation for this service is $33.

 

but that's not the funny part, this BALLSY-BULLSHIT is:

 

Giving brings divine balance to the act of receiving. Through the act of giving, you create greater opening for receiving to take place. This is Universal Law. To understand this is a necessary step in our transition to abundant living.

...reasoning fail...UTTER FAIL....

Actually heaven's gate is what immediately crossed my mind as well. They seem to be preparing to 'transcend' and within the next year or so too. Hopefully law enforcement is keeping an eye on these people.

Rocky -- As a fellow UU I know exactly why you were inspired to frame your comments that way. If your church is like mine, you must hear some weird ass stuff from some fellow members now and then ... but nothing as weird as this. They remind me more of the Solar Temple cult, which predated Heavens Gate slightly and also ended with mass suicides.

Creepy, I was in high school when the whole Heaven's Gate thing happened. Does anyone else notice how these bat-shit crazy cults just misuse big words and technical jargon when they talk about transcendence? A Call to all Light Servers for Greater Application? The Super-Electron? What?

Yeah, about that... I worry more about those evolutionary rejects called Creativity Movement, now this guys are actually atheist buuuuut, and there is a big buuuut, they are white supremacist :(

Now on to the topic. As an evolution-lover I say: die, make room for others, buuuuut I'm a humanist and I actually don't know how to help this people, they have to help themselves first they have to stop listening to those strange interpretations of the upanishads (this is the thing from whence all that inner light-the world is not real-quantum mechanic-chopra raping comes from). Whenever I hear 'the Divine light' I remember all those twisted interpretations of upanishads, Kali kults and so on.

But all I have read about this group sounds a lot like mad ravings of that entropy riding dinosaur David Icke... he also talks about grids, Divine light, sun worship and collective conciousness, and of course, blood sucking shape-shifting paedophile reptilians that live in a hollow moon.

All we can do is wait.
