Re: sex, etc. - Confessions of a BK Sisters' Bhavan

17 May 2006

but it was very irritating to see BKs attracted to other BKs (even Seniors, with all my due respect) and trying so hard to cover up, to hide and manipulate those feelings, resulting in such poor communication and superficial outcomes and a messy dharna :(. Actually, from a Brother's point of view I...

Re: The Brahma Kumaris: Spiritualism, Channeling & Psychicism

17 May 2006

Of course if the 'ether' is swimming with Souls then the BKs must be wrong. We cannot have it both ways. Again, it is an area of spiritual knowledge where the BKs are very weak. What happens when one dies? Do they say where does the soul go ... or does it shoot off straight into another body? I rem...

Re: The Brahma Kumaris: Spiritualism, Channeling & Psychicism

16 May 2006

It seems in modern days the trance thing has gone out of fashion as has the dark room! I would like to discuss this but what is happening in BK World now? Jayanti used to put on a very interesting show of popping / being sucked out of her body completely and then coming back with a special message ...

Tears of blood

16 May 2006

Do BKs REALLY want destruction ? But what is actually "destruction" ? <snip> is it just only Bharat (India) that's going to be destroyed ? As an aside, at the time I discovered BK Raja Yoga, I was reading a lot of the emerging " end of the world " philosophies whether from the e...

Re: Interesting One

16 May 2006

I just find it odd that the genders are strictly separated with no account taken of an individuals sexual orientation. After all, what is the use of preventing contact between Brothers and Sisters when, given the statistics, some people in Gyan must be gay or lesbian. I agree. It is part of the non...

And why would the voice of faith always be problem to others and make them feel touched. It is not a question of the " voice of faith " Andrey. It is merely politeness and formality. This is the " BK forum ", you are a PBK, yes? This is a conversation about " the Honeymoon ...

Re: sexual orientation

16 May 2006

With all the separation of Brothers and Sisters I am puzzled as to how homosexuality or bi-sexuality is dealt with in the BKs. Anyone know? Interesting one. I know that there are BKs, even high profile BKs, that were active homosexuals before Gyan and that they are able to recognise other ex-homose...

Ex-lent points made. I couldn't agree more with you. Keep on posting! Thanks. Its funny but in English, at least, the noise a sheep makes is Ba-ba. We talk about " ba-ba lambs " and there is the famous children's or satirical poem " Baa-Baa Black Sheep ". As soon as I hear a BK ...

Why need a teacher or guru? There are cases of selfeducation which are admirable and bring wondererorous results. However ShivBaba has come to show an easy path. Why leaving the easy path to take the difficult. Definetely, anyway there would be effort and struggle. But why would one prefere difficu...

Sexual energy within the BKWSU

16 May 2006

Many men have this ability where sex is just like going to the cinema and effects them no worse. With many women it's much more and talk of 'love' and 'relationships' come in to play. May be ... I don't know, I think that what you say about men being detached is more about men being emotionally har...

What does spiritual or Yoga mean?

13 May 2006

This is my view and experience also, john, and about sums it up for me. As a non-BK, I would agree as well but with the caveat that we need to be careful with the use of words with prior or alternative meanings, e.g. " spiritual " and " Yoga ". I am frustrated by the devaluing o...

Leaving children

13 May 2006

Obviously the only way to completly avoid this is to remove ourselves from society but then this is the sannyasi way of thinking. atma Again, I hark back to the context within which the Murlis were spoken. There is a danger as we try to alter or create our own themes and variations on BK life and b...

The Cycle

13 May 2006

i feel glad to say in all my time as a BK i never felt convinced by The Cycle, what a load of twaddle I have to say that I agree with you. Not just on the length but also on the primary school level logic that is applied to how such a transformation could take place. Do you remember, the pictures o...

What purpose would it serve to abandon children family or friends. In my humble opinion this is not the optimum thing to do. Baba has said this is to be easy Raja Yoga. If it is not then we are doing something wrong. To be honest, just because the BKWSU or " Baba " says something, it does...
