Independent thought about the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

from idios "one's own”, living in one's own disconnected reality OK, let's not create more distraction with what could be interpreted as insults ... however, I do take from that points that using words detached from their context or depending merely on their etymology is a risky practise. The ...

Better you leave your ego, and enjoy your life in Golden Age which is to come soon. And you don't have an ego? That's not a question that needs answered, just an ironic aside. OK, you would not answer those questions, not even to say "I don't know" ( and your similes don't make sense at a...

1. I do know there is no change in behavior on the BK family that holds a victim. I found it difficult to understand a lot of that post but, in reply to the above, having spent years among the BKs of a large centre, attending morning class every day (except towards the end of my time), teaching cla...

There is a proper psychological term for it, I forgot what it is. At the far end you have false memory syndrome which is common in hypnosis, and it becomes even worse once you get involved with psychics. I explored all of that and although I can see a therapeutic benefit to it, ie metaphors for my l...

Meditation allows us to replenish the diminishing qualities such as peace, love, joy in us. Shame it does not work to increase clarity, integrity, sincerity, straightforwardness, respectfulness, intelligence and so on. The BKs always choose the soft, undefined, wooshy, gloopy, expansive "quali...

Yes, vlakshmi, let me join in the chorus. Why are you here? --- Rita, One tendency I remember within BKism, and I think we are seeing here, is the re-writing of one's past ... 'a past', not the full and rational story, not anything too personal ... as a kind of heroes' journey leading up to the &quo...

A baited hook indeed. Mindfulness is the new ”Yoga" ... many are actually franchises like 7-11s ... a bait’n’switch tactic that gets unsuspecting ”prospects” in front of sophisticated BK salespeople. I could only watch a short segment of the TED video on "Mindful Self-Compassion" it ...

I already said, “I straight away enjoy the apple”, and you know what I meant. I don't. I doubt Pink does. But I guess it means ... you like getting high on sugar effect and don't like to think about things that challenge or contradict your beliefs, or that might question the effects of the "su...

I don't know what Julia's status with the BKs is now, consequently, I am going to be caution on naming her specifically, as she advertises herself as part of a "husband and wife" team and "a trained Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) teacher". She became a BK back in the 1980s around ...

You may be right ex-l. Many BKs can be very proficient in their professional lives, be as scientific, practical and critical as the job requires, then put that all away and enter an alternative reality as a BK. Talking of which, how are Sarah and Julia ? Still as deeply involved in the BKs? The for...

you may notice ... that the rest of us here do actually have different points of view ... I do not believe you are a psychiatrist. Just to prove your point ... I don't agree with you. I could well believe she is a psychiatrist. I am just genuinely concerned by the psychological compartmentalisation...

Spend more time in introspection, "churn the Murli" ... Oh, please don't tell them that. What they need to do is learn a little humility, get out into the real world, and test their ideas and intellectual methodologies out via some proper peer review. Perhaps decide what interests them mo...

'GOOD EXAMPLES ARE AVAILABLE, YET THEY HAVE NO INFLUENCE ON OTHER NATIONS.' Why don't good examples have any influence on BKs? So, allow me to ask again ... How do you get the flag the Americans stuck in the moon back down to earth, and the metals buried deep within the Earth, in order to be in the...

All this talk about forests and trees ... let's not beat around the bush. The real reason that China and all the other philosophical schools aren't mentioned, and the mistakes were made, was because Lekhraj Kirpalani and "the Briginal Jewel BKs" were as 'stupid and uneducated' as they were...
