From reading your posts, I get a sense that you are an exquisitely sensitive and perceptive person. If you were advising yourself, how would you answer that question?

Re: [Policy] Brahma Kumari Info: Code of Ethics

28 Mar 2009

As stated, inline with other developments (such as the archiving of the BK and PBK forums and splitting off of their active discussion) lack of resources insist that we must focus on what we consider to be the most important issues and unique purposes of this forum and website ... Your comment are ...

Re: What if a woman is really attracted to you???

27 Mar 2009

But what if a woman is really attracted to you??? What if she wants to be with you, touch you, and kiss you? And everything that follows? A profound question. All issues related to intimacy, boundaries, defenses, needs, control, surrender of control, self and other are included. One can attempt to ...

Re: Brahma Kumaris Raise Issue of Abuse with BKWSU Leadership

26 Mar 2009

Hi. we'd sent this as an email to the Admin earlier , but just in case they are away, or not able to post, we are using this user id to post our response. Hope that is OK. This has been also emailed to centers worldwide and some BK individuals. Hi Kerwin, First off, I admire your collective faith i...

Re: Different types of Psychotherapy for recovery

25 Mar 2009

Hiya Paul, I am in total agreement with you. These people should learn that relationships exist to help us go deep into unconscious levels of ourselves. We should be using them to face our relationship issues, rather than scattershot search for the happily-ever-after prince/princess. The gorgeous on...

Is there any person without "baggage" of some kind??

Re: Having a partner, getting married & becoming a mum, dad etc

25 Mar 2009

Hi Ray, I've been enjoying your posts. I am wondering what an ex-BK might expect from getting into a "normal" relationship after having been so "detached" from intimacy for so long. How can there be generalities about something so individual as intimate relationship? There is a k...

Re: Reflections on Childhood Sexual Abuse

16 Mar 2009

OF COURSE pedophiles need to be taken off the streets. They rarely change and usually re-offend. Taking them out of circulation protects all children. (Incidentally, the US is looking seriously at some form of castration as a treatment). I've read that statistically speaking, most abuse is from acq...

Re: Reflections on Childhood Abuse Prior to Becoming a BK

15 Mar 2009

To underscore what you wrote so clearly, Leela, the problem with creating a false self is that, being artificial, it can never express the full richness and depth of an actual person. Thus, practicing 'soul conscious', was for me 'human doing' (i.e. projecting an artificial version of myself) rather...

Re: Brahma Kumaris Ning.com network censored but reborn

15 Mar 2009

Hmmm ... not available at archive.org, either. The old front page is still in Google's cache, but not especially informative.

I'll be interested to see how the new ning develops, and whether it catches on.

Re: Shame-Bound Fundamentalism

14 Mar 2009

This is the first for me to hear the term "shame-based religious group." It makes sense. The term "toxic shame" I first encountered in John Bradshaw's seminal book, Healing the Shame that Binds Us . Bradshaw distinguished between healthy shame that can come and go, as distinct fr...
