Andrew you said that the results depend upon expectations. Did I expect too much or too little? What I expected was that there would be spontaneous movement and vocalizations, perhaps accompanied by a change in consciousness. None of that happened though. Nobody mentioned anything about expectations in all the years I was in Subud.
I wish that I had read this thread through from the beginning. Someone quoted from 'an ex-Latihaneer'. What the author John Elwyn Kimber wrote is that whereas some, perhaps most, have normal sensitivity to the latihan, some people have hyper-sensitivity and some have under-sensitivity. I had under-sensitivity. If I had known all of this I would probably not have joined, and I certainly wouldn't have wasted my time going to latihan for years.
