Just a few ditties on the topic of Questions. A question is often a request for further and better information. The person asking a question is a creator. One good reason for asking a the question is when it is highly likely that the reply would be useful in the asker's own creative effort. If such ...
Here is a quote that we all have used as a compass for creation of new thought at various times. What you allow to live in your heart, harbor in your mind, dwell upon in your thoughts, are seeds which will develop in your life and produce things like themselves. Hate seed in the heart can not produc...
Hello New Knowledge, Your post has been around for a few days, I have been looking forward to the replies because the question you have aked is very interesting. Perhaps these few thoughts will stimulate those better able to go deeply and accurately into a topic that I am not qualified to deal with....
Hello Primal Logic, Aha! I am beginning to understand, what you are saying is that ultimately the BK experience was negative for you. I can relate very much to what you are saying. Why this happens I am not exactly sure. It was many years after leaving the BKs that I began to think very deeply about...
Words were not my invention, other people invented them long before I was born. I do not have to accept them even though many people do. I can think in pictures and in words, often words will introduce me to a new picture. Take for example words about karma. Karma, being the effect of previous actio...
Thanks Bansy, Very constructive contribution and suggestions. I am hoping that people will post quotes that they have found to be helpful in their own lives. A brief synposis of how the quote guided or directed their effort would be great too. In retrospect the title could have been " Quotes th...
I am surprised that no one has added quotes that they have found useful to this thread. In order to inject a little life into it here are some more. I am not sure of the author. One thing is for sure he/she has studied constructive thought. I ilke it not only for its good sense but also for its lack...
I began the offshoot that will soon be removed from Sarah's topic just yesterday. The treatment of it by BK.info has been to my mind admirable, everything open and above board, no re-writing of history here! :D A supportive invitation has been sent to the accuser, I vote that we are not in a hurry t...
This could be a thread of interest to everyone. :D Everyone makes sense of life in their own way, a quote can be very illuminating giving inspiration and/or direction in ones own life and insight into anothers mind. To read the quote and examine oneself gently and lovingly, then to apply any necessa...
Well ex-I, As regards stepping out of the box, I agree totally. Learning to think for oneself in a creative, intelligent and empowering way is essential. What you say about money is interesting. After deeply examining the reasons why I left the BKs, money attitudes were very much an issue. One day I...
Well ex-l, There you are asking me about karma and you give me a lesson :). At various times I have faced what was for me very difficult situations, to accept a situation is to face it. The advantage of seeing a situation in the context of karma is that once I have accepted it I can do something abo...
Hello ex-l, Its interesting that you seem to box the theory of karma with BK teaching. Buddhism has studied the theory of karma for thousands of years. Electricity is to all intents and purposes invisible though very constructive things are done with it. Christianity's "turn the other cheek&quo...
