Re: [Admin] User log; Cautions, Suspension, Bans etc

26 Sep 2009

I cannot comment on Bansy, John Morgan or the cautions, suspensions and bans. These things all happened before I joined the forum, and to be honest I could not really understand what it was all about and did not take a huge amount of notice. However, Terry was still participating here here for a whi...

Re: Remnants of fear

Maybe whatever that experience is, it is part of us anyway ... Yes, these meditative experiences are our own experiences, and the BKs did not invent the third eye chakra. Although I usually try nowadays to bring the light down through all the chakras. I think it is more balanced. I think it is a tr...

Re: Remnants of fear

I think my point here is that I, and others who have posted here, were initially fearful to write some of our experiences here due to indoctrination about defamation, losing fortune, divorcing the Father etc ... Consciously, I do not accept such a concept of a God who would not see further into the ...

Thank You Alladin and Rayoflight. As I said, I know that irrational thoughts come with sudden loss. Also guilt is an emotion that is part of grieving. Even if one has done everything one could for the the person who is gone we always find something to regret. It is well known to be part of the griev...

Remnants of fear

14 Sep 2009

A very close loved one passed on suddenly two weeks ago. Just as I had lost very close ones years ago at a time when I was in the process of moving away from living in a bhavan, the thought came to me that it was some sort of punishment for making criticism on this forum. I know that irrational thou...

Re: BKs are not Shaivite, why use the name of Shiva after 1950?

I do not know if anyone is going to come forward to announce themselves more enlightened than you ex-l !!

Unless, perhaps Mr. Green might put his angelic foot forward? With his harp, of course.

Re: How did we fool ourselves into believing the Brahma Kumaris?

We wanted it, so we hypnotized ourselves ... We wanted to meditate, We wanted to find the peaceful part of ourselves, We wanted to develop the positive qualities in ourselves and in doing so to diminish the negative aspects, We wanted to live a lifestyle where we would meditate in the morning befor...

Rayoflight, I do not think that it is the full explanation, I am also trying to explore what is very complex. "Vampirism" might not be completely accurate but there is something about the group dynamic and energy that I am trying to work out. As I said, I still get apprehensive feelings wh...

They are aware of a site where people are expressing serious concerns, and they are not bothered? That's not so good, is it?

How come this organization has survived since 1936 and nobody has managed to accuse them or make them close down ... Many sects can last a long time, even very bizarre ones. Some people stay in the BK life. It suits some people. I would question whether they are as happy all the time as they presen...

There are also accounts on this site of people who did take on cults legally. Sorry, I cannot remember exactly where.

Perhaps someone can help with that.

It is not easy for individuals to do battle with big organizations, especially when they have accumulated a lot of wealth.

Re: Some comments and advice

I would advise you to keep in touch with the forum and, as ex-l says, feel free to criticize. The meditation is very seductive. You will have read how many on the forum write about how wonderful the experience is, in the beginning. Ask this person, whether he/she experience has all been wonderful, o...

Re: When to tell a friend to wake up

15 Aug 2009

It strikes me that they are both on ego trips, using the BKs to empower themselves ... I agree completely, they want the best of all worlds. They can convince themselves that they are, "Oh, so Spiritual" but they are using these people's friendships. What is highly spiritual about continu...

Re: When to tell a friend to wake up

Hi Berkely, The new emphasis on Destruction is probably based on the 2012 end of The Cycle prediction. So many religions have a prediction of an end of world scenario. When we observe the capacity of human beings for destruction of the planet, and violence towards other humans and animals, it is eas...
