Yes, definitely, I have met many people in this situation even in my own short time with the BKs

Yes again, and those thought patterns are very difficult to dislodge once they are established.

I know that this may be difficult to define but I ask nonetheless. Apologies
And yes again. I believe that this is what the aim of this site is, ie not to destroy the BKWSU but to bring it to the realisation that it must take responsibility for its actions. Some progress is being made in this area.

Should there be a 'health warning' issued as part of the 'introduction' to any organisation that propounds 'revolutionary' ideas?
This is my main objection to what the BKs are doing. I am not anti-cult as such, just so long as they are honest about who they are and what their real agenda is. "Free meditation Lessons" as an advertisement in the newspaper is not a full and honest account or "health warning" of what you will actually get if you start going to a BK centre.

These are some of the most relevant questions I have ever seen asked, and you are far from mad. As for Maya, it is all Maya until we realise that we are all Infinite Conscoiusness.
