Hi Saxim,

You said: "People will always do whatever they want, no matter what the rules are. As it has been said, rules are made to be broken and some people make sure they do break the rules."

As an "old-timer" former RSE student, I remember when "R" used to compare RSE to the ancient schools of wisdom or ancient mystery schools. Has it ever occurred to you that in those ancient schools (in my understanding), initiates only advanced from level to level by demonstrating their mastery of the material? Similarly, many native cultures around the world have required members to pass a series of initiations before they are given the rights and privileges that come with the level of expertise they have demonstrated. Whereas at RSE, all it takes to be able to attend the next required event is to buy your way in (or if you can't pay, maybe you can clean the toilets).

Also, has it ever occurred to you that a true wisdom school would expel students who demonstrated the "rules are meant to be broken" attitude you describe? Take the subject of this thread--drug use among RSE students. Can an RSE student do all their daily disciplines effectively when under the influence of X? If RSE students truly believe Ramtha is an enlightened being, why would students ignore him when he says not to take drugs? And more to the point, why would Ramtha tolerate "anything goes" if RSE is supposed to be as close as possible to the ancient mystery schools?

If money--not demonstrated understanding of the teachings or mastery of certain skills--is the only requirement to keep attending events at RSE, then is RSE truly the "Great Work" it is said to be, or is it primarily a money-making enterprise?

Ironic and interesting that David M and his "inner circle" are proponents of X, MDMA and other hallucinogens, routinely taking "journeys" with such substances.

The fact that students in "the organization" (as DM and his inner circle like to call it) were into X, despite the teachings against such drugs, is being used as another straw man to kick down when in reality it has zero (zilch, nada) to do with the school, and everything to do with the personal choices of individuals.

Congratulations on continuing to be a gigantic hypocrite, David.

Sort_Of_Ironic,

Yes..

I took MDMA after having it introduced to me by RSE “students” they called it David Hudson’s "White Powder Gold" this was in 1997. Ecstasy “MDMA” I always became weak and sick afterwards.
Yet..
I remember a Shaman visiting Yelm back in 1998 who conducted several Ayahuasca ceremonies within the RSE community …. I was not invited.
That.. did awaken in me an interest in the natural Shamanic medicines of South America,
Such as Ayahuasca,

So now you are calling me a drug taker?

Sort_Of_Ironic,
Have you taken any form of drugs during while a “current” member of RSE?

David.

I wasn't at issue, who did or did not take drugs. The question was, was that fostered or advocated at the ranch...the general consensus was, no. So why would you draw further attention to those who did or do take drugs? They were not the target of the question.

P.S.

You stated...

The fact that students in "the organization" (as DM and his inner circle like to call it).........

I have never heard of "the organization" before now,
but from what I now understand... there were many "secret" groups within the Yelm RSE community,
Perhaps you best ask them what "the organization" was about?.

I am sure they will welcome your inquiries!

Back to the topic thread.
"Is X used at RSE?"

While organizing the music for Judith's RSE birthday celebration around 1998 at the ranch, there were certainly individuals taking MDMA, it was their personal choice, and as far as I know...
was not promoted by RSE.

David.
