Re: BKWSU withholds history research to accuse us of antagon

09 Jan 2013

I stand corrected. But, I am more interested in the current scenario, rather than raking over very old ground.

Dev Anand, I like your parable of the crazy man's feast.

The BKs remind me of the definition of insanity often attributed to Einstein:
to keep doing the same thing, while expecting different results

Are the leaders changing the Murlis to create a false story?
Changing a false story to create a doubly-false story? Such duplicitous complexity would be entirely in character....

I would be happy to meet you, or a group, to explain more about our perspectives and current approaches, and in the hope of improving mutual understanding. I remember this website spurning an offer by Sister Jayenti to meet and talk, back around the court case days, and I was concerned then, as I a...

Wonieka: thanks for your feedback:) I am very glad you found my musings of help. I found the following book very helpful in dealing with this subject matter, and I recommend you read it if you have not before: it is inspiring and educational, and an easy read: "The Road Less Travelled" by ...

Thanks for translating this into English. Your English is better than that of many native speakers. I recognised aspects of my own journey in what you wrote, and so it rings true for me. Yes, it is so vital to retain (or regain) self-sovereignty. And, only through transforming ourselves can we trans...

Re: Experiencing God

06 Jan 2013

Belief in God is not compulsory for spiritual progress. Look at Buddhism, for me the most switched on, and obviously effective, of mainstream religions. God is (generally) not involved at all. And, of course, religion is not necessary either for spiritual progress (in fact it is generally an obstacl...

Re: Experiencing God

I gave up the idea that there was a "spiritual life", separate from real life, and upon which real life values like honesty and integrity did not apply. What "real-life" world are you living in ex-l? Do you find honesty and integrity there? For me the BKs are very much "rea...

teaching people how to think and learn

ex-l wrote:It's a great shame that the Brahma Kumaris, having stolen people's minds and helped themselves to their wallets, don't invest a little of that back teaching people how to think and learn, rather than how not to think.

But how can you run a cult on that basis? Ludicrous!

Terence McKenna famously said: Every model of the universe has a hard swallow. What I mean by a hard swallow is a place where the argument cannot hide the fact that there’s something slightly fishy about it. The hard swallow built into science is this business about the Big Bang. Now, let’s give th...

Re: Why I Cannot Believe in the Brahma Kumaris' 5,000 Years

28 Dec 2012

I find this discussion entertaining. Why should anyone with a clear intellect believe the specific details that Lehkraj/BapDada spouts, when the same "God speaks" guy has been claiming wrongly since the 1930's that the "destruction" is about to happen. And "God" claimed...

Yes, they have. They have moved on down (in their own language) from their early Copper Age into their Iron Age. They are down the plughole now, heading for the sewer.

Re: How to Spot a Liar

21 Dec 2012

How to spot a liar? If you can see anyone, then you are almost certainly looking at a liar. As an aspie, I abhor deceit. I have spent my whole life being punished and discriminated against for being too truthful: I finally learned to lie to the authorities, at times, in order to avoid trouble. I nai...
