The history section of the Adi Da Archives needs to be built out more fully, starting with Adi Da's discipleship with Muktananda and his time as a member and employee of Scientology.  It is interesting that the apple has not fallen far from the tree, in the sense that corrupt and deluded Adi Da chose these two very messed up organizations and ideologies to associate with.  If Adi Da is really the greatest Spritual Adept in the history of Earth, why would he choose to get mixed up with Scientology and Muktananda?  What does this say about his judgment?

Another topic that needs to be explored is "how much was Adidam a product of what Franklin Jones learned about controlling people and structuring a money-making "spiritual" organization from Scientology and Muktananda?"

Adi Da initiates a drunken orgy in Scientology, even before he did the same kind of thing habitually in his own organization
