Hello to everyone.
I am in Gyan for a couple of years now and have to decide how much involved I want to be, partly because I don't know how much faith I have.
My question(s?) is: BK community aside, why did people in this forum who were BKs stop believing? I am talking about faith and not just wanting to get away from Brahmins.
There are some things that seem hard for me to believe like:
But I still try to explore the whole thing because of people's experiences with what they understand as God.
I mean, for the ones here who took drishti by (supposedly) BapDada in Abu or by strong yogis, how do you explain the feeling? To be honestly, I cannot take very seriously the cases of people who decided that the soul who looked at them was not God, because I do believe that they might just not be pure enough at that moment.
Also, during meditation, I have heard of experiences of immense love and seeing a red-ish area. Many people also feel very physically strong after Amrit Vela. Part of that could just be changes in the brain, but I dunno.
Also, what about the experiences of people in the Subtle Region with BapDada or the strength they get from Brahma Bojan (spelling probably wrong).
What about the feeling that you are bodiless after some time spent in meditation. is not that exactly according to what the Murlis say?
To sum it up: What do people who used to believe in all that now believe? That Raj Yoga is just another type of meditation and it's all in the mind? That BapDada exists but he/it is only a powerful spirit and that Lekhraj Kripalani was a crazy (semi-crazy?) person who imagined some things, and made others believe them, and now is still in existenze in spirit form? Was/is he possesed by another soul or not? Was the light that shone in his forehead a lie or a, illusion? What about the visions people had that drove them to him, or later, to a BK centre?
I assume different people will have different views but the thing is, as much as some things in the BK world seem like another religious variety, the experieces people have are not, to my knowledge, present in any other spiritual path.
Especially the drishti phenomenon.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

There are some things that seem hard for me to believe like:
- 1) 5000 years?
2) The Murlis don't seem consistant to me and they surely are not artfully expressed.
3) Why did it take for Prakashmani 40 more years than Mama to become karmateet?
4) Why the delay of Destruction? The Sakar Murlis imply that it should have come decades ago.
