Very important addition!!

:-) Yeah, sorry. It is exciting for me because I think starlight actually categorically proves one of the main pieces of BK knowledge cannot be true. Hi Eromain, The starlight thing makes sense to me, appreciating as I do that the math and accumulated research by the astronomy/astrophysics people. ...

John Morgan, I am glad you're considering staying around ... in whatever capacity. You are an elder here, have experience in and out of the BKs, speak to no agenda and no ism. There are a number of elders here, by years and by contributions and by maturity. While having a variety of experiences and ...

Now that you have become ex-BKed, is there an answer ? Hi Bansy, Nice that way you invite people, drawing them out on such questions. I am curious what you think about this, as questioner. I am discovering that much of my life I had organized around wanting an answer, meaning some formula that woul...

Hmm. I know I am responding to hearsay here, but for what it's worth "That is your karma" somehow reminds me of Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine (or for that matter Darth Vader) telling Luke Skywalker, "That ... is ... your ... desssstiny!"

A real BB rifle ...? A basketball??

What I like about this article is the viewing of cult membership as a functional adaptation: a strategy for coping. As one fringe-now-ex-BK told me when he was still active: "a lot of people who are BKs would otherwise be in a hospital." The value of chiliastic expectations is something di...

Who was that Masked Man?

I would like to applaud the efforts and hope that real concrete examples can be given and that positive change can take place. We should also remember that BKs consider going public with dirty laundry to be "spreading negativity" and "looking at garbage". Already we see two scho...

Probably I saw you in Sydney in '86 when the BKs were erecting the Peace Pavillion in a park somewhere. That was a fun time, too. Now you're doing work now with the psyche, dreams, ...

Admin, you may like to move this post to "Hullo from Terry" with my blessings.

terry introduced himself, writing in part: Hi Everyone, new contributor here. Been reading your blogs for some time now, mostly in amusement and amazement, mostly dispassionately, sometimes compassionately. My main interest in this forum is to understand what makes people "tick", i.e. the...

Hey Yogi, I am teasing you, too, a sign of brotherly affection. I am also saying that all of us here are recreating our own spiritual paths, whether it looks more or less like the Shiva knowledge you are familiar with. How much juice a person gets from "this is my body, I am a soul" really...

Yogi, maybe that's one of the reasons she is here?? Perhaps you are making an offer??? 8-)

Quite well written! Neville is a gentle and thoughtful person. The two seem to have been good parents to their son Will. When I looked at the original article, I found this Google Ad: http://www.theamericanmonk.com/ in which Burt Goldman offers a free course in meditation that just happens to consis...
