Brahma Kumaris Info - the Truth about BK Meditation
Independent thought about the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

A bit of lateral context. There was an expansion of numbers of BKs from San Francisco in the 1980s, including Robert and Peggy Shubow. Among their numbers was Dr Harold Streitfeld. Before joining BKs, around the time of his retirement, he was one of the group of psychotherapists who pioneered a lot ...

ex-l wrote:I don't know when he left BKism, or when his "10 years" were up

If 10 years, then he was BK between approximately 1980 and 1990.

Oh Dear. Robert Shubow. He used to be such a nice boy. Comparing the list of teachers he wishes to acknowledge to what he teaches and how he lives reminds me of the saying: Modern Education is mostly the art of notes passing from teacher to student and back again without entering the mind of either ...

So, to end by referring to your other good idea[Arcane], "If a God was to come to Earth, would he exaggerate, falsify, denying and so on?" If your answer to that is, as I hope it would be, "no, not all", then the next question arises, "so what is the nature of this spirit o...

A very interesting post Arcane. ex-I, pink panther, guptarati6666, oldbk and all, really wonderful and wise having transcended the path. You people are doing really great, seriously. I admire that. I appreciate you all!! Thanks, it's nice to know someone is reading, appreciating and considering. Too...

God is whatever anyone thinks God is. Theists use that these days to be ecumenical, between denominations or across religions. Everyone has a ”personal relationship”. Every opinion is equally true. Mainly expounded to unite theists in the face of atheism or agnosticism - " because we all belie...

So the BKs donated a cheque for Rupees 1 lakh. That’s 100,000 rupees. Equal to about $US 1,300. So is this the state (zone) BK donation to a state of Manipur of 2.5million people? Not much in the scheme of things, especially when compared to the wealth the BKs sit on like a dragon sits on its gold. ...

Having lost their "most stable mind in the world", it appears the current big boast of the BKs is, "the world biggest religion run by women". Any feminist would agree that the aim of feminism is not to have women acting as badly as men do. If any BKs dispute that the BKs are dif...

Is BKism proven to improve immune systems? Are "improved immune systems" proven to protect one from Covid-19? It is a red herring. You can normally have a healthy immune system that responds to most things but fails to defend you against a particular bug. Maybe on a particular day, becaus...

ex-l, No disagreement with there being a difference between a) a technique being effective, and b) a technique having an effect. We could also make the very important point that for many people it does absolutely nothing! Many people get nothing out of it and leave straight away. Others trust what t...

H Maruthis, I am going to reply in more of a ”good cop” way in comparison to ex-l’s harder ”bad cop” approach but there is nothing he said I disagree with. Your use of various techniques is interesting and I am sure your primary concern is to help your clients find stability and way forward with a s...

ex-l, I am broadly in alignment with your viewpoint on this matter. I tried to relate it back to BKism in earlier posts, and the more recent ones they are not mentioned but the idea of my recent ones is similar. That is, how do we think about or approach claims to ascertain their veracity and their ...

That is a list of circumstances that do not go directly to anything. Fauci authorised research money to Wuhan Virology Institute. So? China and USA developed a good relationship in these areas after SARS, MERS and Ebola where they worked together with great success until the Trump presidency. Is thi...

I don't go in for the conspiracy theories against Gates and Fauci et al. Example - The accusations against Gates that Robert Kennedy Jnr makes, exploiting not only his privileged position but also his famous family name as an anti-vaxxer spokesperson, are simply repetitions of unfounded and blatantl...

Gupta, Thanks for sharing your experience in these areas. What you describe often leaves the rest of the world shaking its collective head. I may have said this before but, well, the USA is another planet. In fact, we have a TV program here in Australia about US politics called ”Planet America” ! Th...
