Really, you cannot use the term "only" in this sentence. You can say, "two reasons they can fool are ..." but not limit matters to your understanding. For example, I would add another two immediately, and those are a simple matter of power differentials and plain lying and misle...
Hey Ray - Inverted commas are good! A nuisance, but they make a difference no? ("devil"). I'd still say the experiences you had I was able to put my thoughts, that is my will, into other people's minds ... and the rest ... are things that people with strong personalities and skills do all ...
The absolute truth for you is what your consciousness is now. As consciousness changes, truth (and perception of it) changes. Life is change. So truth will change.
A general response to some of the last few posts ... Tom's experience in meditation, golden hues etc, he describes as rare and possibly experienced only a sort of happiness which came to me from the spooks as a bait so that I would become more obedient. These were common meditation experiences for m...
I was curious that when the medical science cannot correctly suggest a person's age after he or she has crossed the age of 60 or 70, then how can the carbon dating technique be so sure about the age of fossils or other historical things being hundreds, thousands or millions of years old. The human ...
Do you think we all want to read your insults to each other? Please use the PM system to communicate with each other - it may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship - which breaches the code of ethics but, hey, all's fair in love and war.
I was not trying to be vague ex-l. I think what I wrote was clear enough, but you are free to re-word things into the language that pleases you if you wish. East Sydney Meditation Space seems pretty heavily branded as BK to me You say that as if I suggested, or that they pretend, they are not BK. Th...
As a practicing dream analyst, I 'd usually tell people not to take the dream literally, that it is a metaphor. Occasionally, for those who understand dreams as symbolic language, it is conversely a good idea to act as if the dream was literal, because the person or place in the dream (if they are r...
Before replying to some of your insightful points Leela, I'd like to make a comment that I nearly wrote under another topic to do with therapy and drugs. Depression can be seen as an extreme form of introversion. Unfortunately it is socially unacceptable, and there is coercion to "do something ...

It seems to me that even having left the BKWSU, you have still chosen a life of service. Well, yes - but I don't seek to change the world, just humbly try to affect those that are in my circle by being who I am and living up to my own "truths". If that changes the world - well, blow me do...
I also remember a number of BKs who claimed to have distinct memories of living in Madhuban with the Seniors in a previous birth. For them it was more of a source of anguish than anything else. They were hurt and confused that the Dadis gave them so little acknowledgment and recognition of their pa...
I stand corrected. Thank you Admin for a cool factual reply without a personal attack. I appreciate it. I did not blame, or mean to - I stated that an opportunity had been missed. I did search the forum for the article with that info to check against, but did not find it. No matter who set up the me...
The other element you raise here in humour is "where do dead people/spirits go?". Geez, I wish I had more time ... There is an old Chinese Buddhist saying - that speaking of a separate soul is something like - "speaking of the child of a barren woman" - that is to say, it is a c...
