The BL's are anti-Baba

The Baba lovers reject Baba's explanation in God Speaks of where the Avatar goes when he dies, i.e. State 2B. They contact me just to object.

They replace it with either time travel or 19th century Theosophical Society ascended master teachings. 

It's useful to know that these ascended master teachings do not come from the teachings of any Avatar, but are a descendent of folk religions such as ancestor worship, which were indigenous to the countries that became Buddhist long after Buddha, not from the teachings of Buddha. The Theosophists likely discovered Buddhists in southern India performing these practices and took them to be part of real Buddhism. 


So this is where I believe the Theosophists, reading Buddhist texts recently translated, got their notion of ascended masters.


Some of the names for talking to the dead in pagan and folk religions include:

Goetia: a European magical practice that involves invoking demons or angels. 
Theurgy: the art or technique of compelling or persuading a god or beneficent or supernatural power to do or refrain from doing something. (Websters)
Channeling: To serve as a medium for. She was channeling the spirit of her late husband, Seth. (Wiktionary)
Necromancy: conjuration of the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of events. (Websters)
Conjuration: to summon a devil or spirit by invocation or incantation (Websters)
Divination: the art or practice of using omens or magic powers to foretell the future.
Mediumship: the capacity, function, or profession of a spiritualistic medium. First used 1852.
Shamanism: a practice that involves a practitioner (shaman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance. The goal is usually to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world for the purpose of healing, divination, or to aid human beings in some other way.
Veneration of the Dead including Ancestor Worship


In modern New Age religions the 'channeling' has become the common term for the resurgence of such pagan and folk practices.

Some Quotes to Pay Attention To

BOOK OF UNDERSTANDING FOR PEOPLE OF ALL RELIGIONS In 1932 Baba said: "I have explained it all in detail in my book. Even scientists will be astonished to learn the secrets I have explained there. For these will not be vague talks but facts that are substantiated and supported by scientific arguments . It will be the future Bible, not in the literal sense, but a book of understanding for people of all religions ." – Meher Baba LM 1607

Baba’s Teaching is Unique

Baba lovers don't believe me when I tell them that Baba gave a teaching that no religion ever gave. They are sure it was said before by Buddha and is in the Buddhist canons or that Adi Shankara (the 8th century founder of Hindu Advaita Vedanta) said it. But they are wrong. In 1956 (a year after God Speaks was published in English) Baba asked a disciple Thirumala Rao to translate God Speaks into Telugu – a major South Indian language. Two years later, Rao returned to Meherabad, laid his completed translation at Baba’s feet, and gave a short speech. In his speech Rao reported: This book cannot be coordinated with any accepted tenets of philosophy in all its aspects. ( Lord Meher , Online Version, p. 4329) Yet Baba’s lovers refuse to believe this, so conditioned are they to think the Dharmic religions already knew what Baba came to teach.  Baba had a unique system of sanskaras. While the concept of a sanskara has roots in Buddhism, no Buddhist or Hindu had ever developed Baba’s syste...

Myths about the Council of Nicaea

There is a myth that certain nefarious things occurred at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. One of these is that the four gospels of the New Testament were chosen and other gospels rejected at this council. The original source of this myth is a fictitious pseudo-historical account of early Church councils known as the Synodicon Vetus written in 887 AD. The French philosopher Voltaire popularized this false account in the 18th century, and Christian radical Robert Taylor revived it in the 19th. Though fully debunked, this trope goes on being popular today.  The canon was decided by popular use over time. The first time the subject of the canon was brought up at an ecumenical council was at the Council of Trent in the 16th century.
