In reading many of the posts on this site, I perceive many ex-BKs as angry and bitter, even after much time has lapsed. It makes me wonder if perhaps that anger is really directed at ourselves for having believed and dedicated so much of our lives (money, energy, etc.) to the BKWSU?
How could we be so easily deceived, played upon? And consequently, the loss of faith is in ourselves and trusting our own judgments ... Could this be a part of it?
I have questioned this in myself. However, unlike many of you, I have no regrets, harbor no anger, even though some of the worst and most traumatic experiences of my life were while being a BK. At the same time, some of the most beautiful, sublime and heavenly experiences of my life were while being a BK.
It has been propitious for me to have found this site at the close of this calendar year ... Although it has stirred up many things in me and brought back a lot of stuff I would rather forget, it may indeed be the time for me to finally heal all wounds and close the BK chapter of my life for good. Having been a very spiritual being all my life, I see the BK chapter as a stepping stone of sorts. I learned and experienced a lot spiritually, I discovered myself in many ways, and now I must use that to move on to my true life's path.
I wish the same for all of you recovering BKs: freedom, forgiveness, renewal. Let's let go and put all this past us. Our new life and world awaits.
