Advised daily disciplines for a BK adherent
Posted: 16 Jul 2012This is from the BK forum, an indication of the kind of demands placed on BK adherents. The words "Yoga", rememberance and meditation being pretty much the same, as well as the additional and obscure mental exercises, e.g. "point form" which means imagining ... or some claim experiencing ... you are a point of light not a body.
These keep increasing. They are about triple what was expecting in my time with the BKs. On top of this, keen BKs will be expected to do some kind of free labor for the cult, e.g. teaching meditation class, planning evangelistic programmes, or physical maintenance of the local center, e.g. cooking, cleaning, repairing, developing ... oh, and driving the Sisters around.
Does not leave a lot of free time, does it?
