I think this part of the thread should be moved over to the "Psychic aspects" topic at some point.

A tricky situation, must be smarter than them, (I hope I can do this). I am going to need all the ammunition and information I need for this, there is more than just my relationship at stake here.
I do not know how much I can add but I will pre-warn you that the Brahmakumaris are the masters of subtle arrogance and slippery answers. By that I mean, they are so full of themselves being the supremely wise wonders of the world, all aiming to become the top 8 or 108 souls, all full of themselves going to heaven whilst all the other religions go to hell; that you will be very lucky to get, either;
a) a straight answer, or
b) admittance that THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON
You have to understand that, firstly, they are kind of under the effects of a sort of drug-like influence the hypnotic aspect of the practise brings on (especially the young in practise ones) and, secondly, their daily teaching affirm; "
they are pure, all others are impure ... they are wise, all others are ignorant" time and time again.
So, that was my lead by way of saying he is probably going to have to ask, and ask and ask before he gets either an answer or an admittance ... they don't know. But it is good that he and they know this is being publicly documented and discussed. Yes, do more Yoga and service is their "two asprins and go to bed" answer.
As I have stated, there is the belief that their senior practioners can travel about as spooks checking individuals and centers out, which BK Mitra has confirmed. I actually used to believe this was just superstition and the mental projection of guru-like powers upon them on behalf of their followers. There is lots of talk of "serving" through one's subtle body in the Avyakt Murlis but, strangely, no specific tutoring in how this is done to my knowledge. Again, I thought it was largley poetic, but may be I was wrong. I think most individuals on this forum would agree that those that would potentially have such powers, such as Janki, Jayanti and some other senior Sisters, have actually stepped away from the true teachings.
We have had reports of some fairly dark, willful or heavy characters within the leading USA Brahmakumaris and some concrete examples of personal damage, and patterns of behavior that fall very short of honesty and basic human decency. Especially where money or other people's marriages are involved. I would love an opportunity to expose them but am holding some confidences at present. Let's just say, we have a few "scud missiles" if ever the Brahmakumaris start to play rough on a worldly level.
I should think that you are safe. The important thing to do here is just keep documenting all this in one place. Personally, my attitude is "**** 'em". I do not know what the truth is but I am going to keep driving my tank through all their defenses for as long as I can until what they really are, for good and bad, is exposed. The more experiences of this nature, the more inconsistencies, the more dishonesties, the more media control, the more broken families, the more bull we expose; the clearer that picture becomes.
I do not suppose that it is as simple as black and white; one side good, one side bad. A few of us here are conceptualising a theory about what are known as "
Luciferic influences" in and around the BKWSU. These need to be understood more clearly and probably Rudolf Steiner had the best point of view on them, that is to say, a) there are not all bad and b) they are inevitable and so have to be managed/dealt with. See the link above.
I am not 100% saying, "the Brahmakumaris' Holy Spook is evil" ... I am saying that they are not 100% squeaky clean and that there are weird spooky things going on around them ... and through them. And it should be recognized. It may not be the Holy Spook, it may just be other "jealous gods", "hosts" or "legions" feeding off them. The only thing I am sure is that it is not all about corporate consultancies and Self Management seminars [SML].
