This blog I wrote a few days ago, before I encountered this information. Although it sideways on the Brahma Kumaris is, it has everything to do with it and I want to share this forum, because the insight could be helpful to others.
The cold detachment of the tyrant and how it can be otherwise
Very long time for me were tyrants and the power they exert the most frightening that existed. I had a rather dominating Father whose will was law and who had trouble with my strong will and I therefore often called me a dictator.
For long, power was something dirty for me and what I resisted. Until I came in a position of responsibility during the eight years that I’ve made part of the Brahma Kumaris (around my thirties). The tyrant in me became visible and that frightened me deeply. That what I rejected in my Father so much, did I do myself. I was trying to impose my will on others, working to control them and I could not bear that they did not meet my requirements. I cried rivers of tears. Dealing with power and authority has since remained a topic that every time in my life appeared.
There are many ways in which tyranny and power can be exercised. Both visible in very clear examples of rulers who we know from the course of history and current events, as more subtle forms of oppression and exert control, such as the power that victims exercise. Victims drew attention to itself and helpless behaviour causes others to take care of them.
I have seen many tyrants in my life, because everybody has a tyrant in himself, whether or not visible at the surface. These included employers, an occupational physician, leaders of spiritual organizations, therapists and friends. But even a toddler, I've seen up close and that the tyrant to the utmost knew to introduce up to the refusal of food. A very powerful and intelligent soul, which finely knew where the weak spots are of the people and how he was able to play them. In a small body wrapped, could you just misjudge and then Martin could sometimes seem pretty cute. The strength, endurance and will of the child went further than you usually see in a child less than two and I can not but taken from a previous life.
With Martin in my mind I want to make clear how the tyrant in you and me, and especially spiritual seekers and spiritual leaders can be seen and felt. Spiritual concepts like detachment and illusion play an important role in my opinion, and I want to share how I transformed these forces and concepts in my life.
A few months I have witnessed and cared for Martin intensive and daily. He could scream as he not get his way and was in no way to stop. The extent to which he could exercise his power was more extreme with time. Precisely because it was a child that I had have an intense and loving connection touched me greatly. Martin got me to make a profound and powerful connection with God. By being great in my energy and charisma, I could stop him sometimes. He put me in addition to detachment, so I became no longer attached down to the smallest to any feeling and not to how others did to me. For he made it clear to me that I am too much valued on warm feelings and that I made too important, so I could not look at what happened as it happened and I just was able to be deceived by him. But how I dealt with it was new to him. What was new was, that I showed me a master who revealed sadness and being vulnerable, that every time dropped open her heart, how often also kicked. It brought him into a delay and did something shift inside him. Sometimes tangible, sometimes visible in the eyes. (*)
The detachment, as in many spiritual movements practiced, and I myself have practiced with the Brahma Kumaris, is in many cases a cold, where individual importance of the spiritual experience is paramount. What I show now and what I practice is a detachment which I'll stay involved. I still feel. Everything. Then I am totally for example in feeling and expressing my anger and sadness when nasty to me done. And then, when everything is felt, to investigate what exactly took place. The insights usually come make my heart remains open and I can continue to love the person (s) with whom I initially felt disadvantaged.
In the form of cold detachment, someone has no illusions anymore, so someone sees everything as an illusion, as something that is not true and therefore no value. In various spiritual movements, the entire earthly existence is seen as an illusion. You feel so detached from life gives power, because nothing can still hit. You sit in your own cocoon of purity and light. I see it as a male form of spirituality, because many spiritual leaders through the ages were men. Briefly, the male character is more set to a movement that is directed outward, where the female character is rather inward and receiving.
The feminine way of participating in the life, in which I part my light (my understanding), Martin often answered with arrogance. Though it is an ancient history now and nothing. He felt far above. It looks too ordinary. It is not impressive and it does not seem like something you dread watching.
And how impressive a tyrant seems, he is not free from his past, he carries his burden still with him, while he creates new charges by the power he continues to exercise. I see in pictures and movies gurus, masters - or whatever they call themselves - bless others, if they have the power to change the life of others on that way. They sit on a throne or not, whether or not in special clothes, separated from their listeners. Unapproachable. Separated from the life. Not accountable for their own behavior, which after all is infallible. The really lively sparkling celebration of life is often lacking and is not visible in the eyes. They are detached, their eyes mostly empty, as if they were no longer on earth.
How important the tyrant, guru, spiritual leader, etc., and the greater his power became, the more his life is at stake, depending on as he became of his position. The true face of the tyrant you do not get to see. "Errors" and omissions will never be admitted, because then you show you are weak and you are vulnerable, so you could lose esteem.
In my life with others, I show that I can be vulnerable, by sharing what is happening in my life, also the moments of confusion or doubt and where I see things colored. I show that I keep it up, keep me faithful and that I just get stronger from, because for me there is nothing to defend and nothing to lose.
I also exercise power, it escapes no one. A strong person with many insights into life and in others always has power. Since I am quite aware of. In my intention to live from unconditional love, I continue to feel, I stay investigations, I continue to participate in life without attachment to how things should look, that it should look like a certain way or a desired outcome should have. If I may be permitted I use my power from a warm and committed heart for the benefit of you. I hold you and I let you go, any time. Until enough or until the road is clear.
(*) As Martin still could not speak much of what I write about him based on my observations and interpretation by what I clairsentient and clairvoyant way to see him and have read and which is recognized by those who were there.
