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

Hello powerful (and enlightened), Welcome to the forum. With you (both) joining in recently there seems to be a growing balance coming to the forum. Look forward to hearing more from you as your perspectives will be quite different from people like me who were only ever what I call "irregular&q...

Like sarah, I've simply taken something recently written elsewhere and changed the lead-in: The ex-BKs are somewhere between a loosely knit community and a bunch of strong-minded individuals. We aim to come together with mutual respect and understanding, sharing some very uplifting and some very pai...

Dear peterbindi, enlightened and yogi108, While I share some of your concerns, for me it's a necessary outcome of the way this forum is organised, somewhere between a loosely-knit community and a bunch of strong-minded individuals. We aim to come together with mutual respect and understanding, shari...

Hello yogi108, Did you mean the sphincter groups? :P I used to feel a bit like you and then moved on to being a bit bemused by it all. However, I only have to follow the latest contributions on the Mr Green Kumaris or BK DimOK's thread to cheer me up, so please let's keep them (and anyway the rest w...

Hello ms orange, please don't give up on the forum. We especially need input from practising BK's to balance the sometimes very strong and direct ex-BK tendencies. Hello ex-lady, please, please don't (even implicitly) lay the blame for the various deficiencies which you (and we) see in BK-land at th...

Hello enlightened, Welcome to the forum and thanks for your open and honest sharing. My BK story is quite different from yours, so I wouldn't presume to advise you. However, I've picked up two key points in what you have said: 1. God and your intuition saved you from the BK-life. He/she is always th...

GJitis, as opposed to DJitis

Well done and congratulations Sarah - you're moving on, have had a real learning experience regarding (BK) detachment AND are still engaged with the forum! The other replies have given you the input and support you needed to get back over the threshold, so I don't feel the need to add anything to th...

Dear Sarah, (Copied from other thread to give it emphasis) Please don't let the actions and words of one idiot affect your decision whether to engage with the forum or not. I know very little (and care even less) about the mechancis of moderation. However, no-one could have really read your initial ...

Dear Sarah, Please don't let the actions and words of one idiot affect your decision whether to engage with the forum or not. I know very little (and care even less) about the mechancis of moderation. However, no-one could have really read your initial set of postings on the forum and concluded that...

Hello again Sarah, I am glad that you're still able to experience a peacful and loving connection with God. And I am not surprised that your BKs did not want to hear about it being better outside Murli class, since for most BKs the Murli is spoken by God. However, many western-bodied souls find the ...

Hello Sarah, Like you I became involved with the BK around the time of my mid-life crisis. You will find many references elsewhere on this forum where the BK are less than helpful and sometimes downright harmful to people who are suffering from breakdown/depression etc. This is because they are not ...

Boy, am I glad to see the forum back up and running!

Very best wishes to you all

Hello sparkal - welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing some of your thoughts. Both here and under "Who is God to you?" we seem to have similar thoughts/beliefs/experiences 'God does not exist, it is the higher self that we are experiencing '. What of those who experience the higher se...

PS ex-I as requested, I will document my experience as I go through this new Christian/Franciscan journey. Perhaps you could suggest the best channel to use within the forum for this - I hesitated before using the BK area for this current posting?
