I actually did it today - I couldn't find a better practice. Could you advise one please? I am an explorer and would give it a try.

Disagreed. For every BK, it's quite unique and different things work for different people. I know this forum wants to portray Destruction to be overshadowing everything else but select a 100 genuine BKs and do the following - you will know why they are there;
- 1. Take out Destruction
2. Take out The Knowledge about self
3. Take out The Knowledge about God
4. Take out the meditation part of BKism

You are right. I don't think it does and in fact I would rather have the BKs visit this site - it's a perfect "test" for them! If some BK leaves Gyan because of this website, he would anyhow be leaving the path eventually irerespective of whether this site existed or not - this is the design of the BK path. Only people with firm faith can really go along life time.

Don't sell your Self short by giving them the credit. That's what such "entities" thrive on.
It's like someone wishing you had never fallen in love. Do you believe in destiny? I had the best outcome possible for my life at that time and I would never ever want to wish that something else should have happened that time. During the "dark night of the soul", I saw a brilliant radiant star full of embracing light symbolizing pure love that takes out the darkness from every corner of the soul, someone is asking me whether I would have considered other stars that were around?
