The Brahma Kumaris: Spiritualism and Channeling
Posted: 16 May 2006
This is a definate no-no topic for BKs and so this is why I raise it. After all Shiva is channeled through a medium of Dadi Gulzar. In the early years Shiva was channeled through Brahma Baba though there was no trance state and he remembered everything (unlike the present day where Dadi needs to be read the Murli).
I was told by the Sisters that those that channel would draw evil Souls towards them. In fact we can see TV shows with a studio audience 'Yes your Uncle is here and he says his back is much better now' etc etc.
In Science we call such things 'Cold reading', i.e. it is a trick using feedback from the audience and simple psychology. A few people in the Skeptics Society can do this. However we must assume that not all channeling is a trick and so who are they talking with?
The BKs say that all souls take re-birth except a few vicious Souls who stay until the end of The Cycle on earth (due to their bad Karma no mother can host them!). What's happening? Also why do some need to be in trance and others not? It seems in modern days the trance thing has gone out of fashion as has the dark room!
