I am very glad of your writing. As though I therefore can breathe a bit easily. A sort of sigh of relief. I've met a few people understand it this way. On the way you bring it into words. As you wrote: They are completely caged and programmed, and cannot break out of this (and cannot be helped to do...
"My" God is for everyone, and accessible to everyone. Formless, nameless, unconditionally loving, and always there for you. I can replace "God" with "divinity", or "the light", or "my perfect self" and it makes no difference. Thank you for your repl...
Thanks for your detailed answer. A number of reasons, I myself conceived. Eg. that you prefer to remain anonymous because of your work. But even if it's only recently that you stepped out of the PA, or if someone you know a BK is.
Dear ex-l, In this reaction, I feel that you really want an answer and really wants to know what I think about. The tricky it is that I can tell you, but it still remains unsatisfactory for you because it is my answer. The answers that I have now, I have found after lots of research by myself. For m...
Iedereen heeft te maken met macht en onmacht. Iedereen is weleens in een situatie terecht gekomen waarin hij zelf misbruik maakte van zijn macht of zelf misbruikt werd door de macht die iemand anders of een groep over hem uitoefende. De meeste mensen zijn opgegroeid bij ouders die met hen omgingen a...
Everyone has to do with power and powerlessness. Everyone has been in a situation where they abused their power or has been abused by the power that someone or a group exercised over them. Most people grew up with parents who interacted with them as if they knew better what is good for their childre...
Thank you for your question ex-l, Patzcuaro for sharing your views and experience with the BK and howiemac for your reply. As I wrote in this article, I think there is only one God. I regret that people are arguing about what God is more true. God is always true, it is only the people who give words...
Thank you for your responses. I regret that no more participants have to answer my question. So I will explain why I have chosen to be present with my full name on this forum. The reason I chose to use my full name on this forum and also on other places on the internet is that I want to be completel...
Achterop de fiets bij mijn moeder schijn ik met luide stem gevraagd te hebben “Mama, bestaat God?”. Achteraf gezien, denk ik dat ik als kleuter het antwoord wel wist. Naar de godsdienstlessen op de openbare lagere school wilde ik niet. Op 10-jarige leeftijd wist ik zeker dat er verschillende religie...
Back of the bike with my mother, I seem to have loudly asked, "Mommy, does God exist?". In retrospect, I think I knew the answer as a toddler. To the religion classes at public elementary school I didn’t want. At the age of 10 I was sure that there are different religions, but there is onl...
Je kunt om veel verschillende redenen gaan mediteren en er zijn misschien wel net zoveel verschillende meditatievormen. Zelfs binnen één (religieuze) stroming zijn er al meerdere opvattingen over meditatie te onderscheiden, zoals bij het boeddhisme waar je bijvoorbeeld zen- en vipassanameditatie kun...
You can order many different reasons to meditate and there are perhaps as many different forms of meditation. Even within one (religious) movement are several distinct ideas about meditation, like Buddhism, for example, where you can practice Zen and vipassanameditation and on which mindfulness is b...
It strikes me that few people on this forum (which I have so far seen of) are present recognizable with their own name on this forum. I see a number of them ex-BK and still wish to remain anonymous.
