Re: Who are you writing for?

21 Apr 2009

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...

Re: Who are you writing for?

21 Apr 2009

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 ...

Re: The Absolute Truth

21 Apr 2009

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.

For me, truth is green, not
red.

Re: Who are you writing for?

21 Apr 2009

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...

Re: The Cycle, belief in identical world events every 5000 years

20 Apr 2009

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 ...

Re: Triple ex-BK Jokes

20 Apr 2009

We used to make that joke (dying alive=zombies) as BKs! It's peculiar how it has a different, sharper edge when you are an ex-BK.

I suppose self-deprecating humour is gentler than satirising others - but analysing humour often destroys it. So let's leave that there.

It made me LOL.

Dear Spectrum and Spiritual Spy

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.

Re: Progressive BKs in West

13 Apr 2009

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...

Re: A strange dream

12 Apr 2009

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...

Re: The Existential Shame Spiral

11 Apr 2009

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 ...

Re: Hullo from Terry - The Power of Archetypes

11 Apr 2009

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...

Re: Second birth BKs?

11 Apr 2009

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...

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

11 Apr 2009

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...

Re: The Brahma Kumaris: Spiritualism and Channeling

10 Apr 2009

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...
