Just in brief response to your points ThoMag:
1. That's great - if Martinus believed his books to be able to contribute to helping people connect with a concept of "God", fantastic. And if it does help some people - even better. He can join many others who feel that way about their work/experiences etc. too. (I just don't see how the type of scare-mongering on the Kundalini site fits into the picture - though let's face it - Christianity has been scare-mongering for years so what's new?)
2. I don't know enough about his cosmology theories to know what they might be a second hand version of. I would hope that they are rather a first hand version of Martinus' own experiences rather than a second hand anything. The reason why I mentioned Karma in this context was because I felt that your comment about women deserving to be slaughtered betrayed a misinterpretation of the concept of Karma, that's really all. (By the way, if one takes your notion that people most likely "deserve" suffering in order to learn or spiritually progress, then why are you busy warning people of the dangers of anything? Surely you should leave everyone to "learn" through experiencing the terrible things that you think might happen to them if they engage in all these "artificial spiritual practices"? Would that not be what they "deserve" in this incarnation?!)
3. A sad fact.
4. I was drawing a parallel between Jesus' message being misinterpreted and misrepresented and that something not dissimilar is no doubt happening now with Martinus' message after his death - particularly given point 3.
5. Great. Then what are we all worrying about?!
Thanks Jeanne for your emphasis on taking courage to move beyond the status quo. There's enough fear in the world without either hair-brained pseudo-religions or mainstream orthodoxies (no matter how old) adding to the mix!
best wishes
