I always thought he and Jayanti made a nice couple. Yes. and, when the honeymoon is over the mutual toli feeding ends everkeen drishti begins to fade a redbulb'd glow of true loves light grows dim his beloved refuses to reveal the secrets of the trance once so freely shared and she, when once so ar...
My guess is his position is relatively comfortable up at the Oxford mansion house and within the BKWSU hierarchy and, having invest a lot of time, money and his reputation into the religion, he would not want give it all up ... even if it was clearly wrong or not true. This reminds me of the early ...
Kate, a little more background info. As you are caught up in an uncomfortable triangle between yourself, your 'friend,' and the BKs, a Brahmin overview may help shed some light on things. At present your friend is 'married' to the BKs. They represent his 'official wife', the personality to whom he r...
My guess is his position is relatively comfortable up at the Oxford mansion house and within the BKWSU hierarchy and, having invest a lot of time, money and his reputation into the religion, he would not want give it all up ... even if it was clearly wrong or not true.

From the integrity of the article itself, and the professionalism of Neville Hodgkinson it's inane to to say 'BK is bad for your brain'. I take back what I said earlier. BK has made Hodgkinson completely brain dead. He has immense talent and courage as a professional journalist, yet when the subjec...
I got through most of the article ... In February 1994, the Journal of Infectious Diseases published the results of a study conducted in Kinshasa, Zaire, to try to establish whether HIV infection was associated with leprosy. About 70% of 57 leprosy patients, and 30% of a group of 39 contacts, tested...
He then started acting very strange as if he was under the spell of demons. We had some time to talk but just for a while as he was so tied up with various cult activities, trainings & events. He was acting as if nothing happened at all & he cannot remember his horrible deeds to me. In shor...
LESSON NO 5 - ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE WHERE YOU ARE GOING (EVEN IF IT JUST MEANS LEAVING A NOTE) AND ENLIST THE AID OF ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE AROUND WATCHING WHAT YOU ARE DOING From time to time I swim in the Serpentine and I am always reluctant to get in unless there is at least one other person on the...
I, myself, enjoy swimming. Recently I took part in a community open water swim. 1 mile in the north sea. Temperatures 10-12 degrees. A big swell and choppy waves. About 50 people took part. 4 dropped out half way and were rescued by trained life saver kayakers who towed them to motorboats. Local sai...
Methinks Filthy pseudo lost the plot for a while ... thanks Admin for saving him from public humiliation ... :-? Filthy, please leave the jokes to Mr Green and ex-l. You would do well to learn from their different styles. Find the 'middle way' old friend. Nothing too extreme for you from now on ... ...
Thanks for your replies so far, and all others in this discussion. Yes, the person known as the Buddha is dead. At least we agree on that! We are far from agreeing on anything so far. The Buddha is not dead. From a Brahmin perspective, it goes like this. 'Final thoughts lead to the destination'. As ...
This is not the case - although many make that error of conflating the two - a lot of that problem comes out of bad translations or interpretations. Just for the record, please provide if possible the 'pure' Buddhist ideal, based on good translations and interpretations. I doubt this is possible, p...
Only 'the Budddha' knows 'Buddhism'. All the rest is human manure. Now then, a question arises. Buddha attained eternal liberation. If so, kindly explain how it is that he was in a state of ignorance/suffering in the first place? That is, what is the Buddhist explanation that describes how after str...
