The BKs promote the use of intuition when it is convenient for them. Example: we "recognize the Father", intuitively. I think I could come up with many examples. And as you said, on the other hand, personal opinions, whether based on rationality or intuition, are labelled as manmat, and th...
Food for thought. It is always healthy, to challenge our believes and theories we accepted as guidelines in our lives. We are not alive just to follow others without exerting any discrimination power, like sheep, neither to get stuck in some sort of comfort zone that eventually stops suiting us or e...
This pics are gross and showing so much tackiness! Being indians, perhaps they will not wear designer's shoes like the pope, rather, designers' sandals;). What is it all about? Do they think they will please and attract more customers (adepts) with this pomp and show? So the agenda being anti-simpli...
Hi everybody! How are you all, old and new? I am fine and a bit sorry to notice that the Reach Approach issue has consumed a lot of your energies, but I guess that when the drive for truth and transparency is very strong, involvement and investigation become compulsory. Anyway, about this topic, it ...
These celebrations always caused me a lot of unpleasant feelings, "waste thoughts", made me wander. Especially I felt I did not want to be part of it, I did not belong there. Perhaps all of these paraphernalia and circusses are justified as BK culture to which members have to adhere and ac...
Hi everybody. Supposedly this could be a topic in which I can write a few lines. In recent months, it happened to me twice, that ex BKs that have not become totally "anti BKWSO", commented about their previous involvement in ways such as "nobody forced me to cross their threshold or s...
Hi Kate. I don't want to say too much or anything out of place, since for a while I have not been following what's happening on this Forum from which in the past I benefitted a lot, BTW. I just read a cpl of posts from this topic and I totally agree and confirm what ex-l wrote before me. Let me just...
Funny topic you guys started!! Since I seem to be increasingly short of time, and I am glad I visited the forum, today! Yes, Pandav Bhavan was shabby and the Sisters' too, especially Pavitra Bhawan, Dudden Hill. Tennyson Rd ... "don't even ask!". Shakti Bhavan, in comparison, was luxury. I...
They get to enjoy simple pleasures like eating out and eating with friends without being afraid the End of the World is going to happen. The fact that simple things become hard to practise once you have been through the BK training, proves that that programming runs deep and is difficult to erase, ...
Hi, spiritual family of the ex-BK forum. How depressing to read these posts full of truth! Nothing new. The "contradictions" of which the BKs are full and that they don't want to be exposed, their double standards, by which some low rank BKs should just labour as karma yogis and shut up, r...
Yes, and walked out of that uncomfortable position. It is not compulsory to "hang in there". Reclaiming one's freedom is no joke, it takes determination, and love for the self. We all have to roll our sleeves up and start doing it, it won't happen all at once in one day, due to having been...
