So this proves to me that there are many pathways to the Big One. Not the one as dictated to us by the BK systems, as they probably only offer one or two aspects of this being only ...
To a degree, this and the such specific issues such as the non-End of the World and population increase must be the greatest challenges to the BKWSU mentality. It goes completely against their grain.
Anyone have access to God ... circumvent the Senior Sister monopoly on godliness ... Good heavens. Something should be done about it!!! Externally they are softening on the old "interfaith front" but the Murlis have to be eternally unchanged on this. They have God, others don't.
This aspect of spiritual dissonances fascinates me. Does anyone know the correct term for it? How can "The Knowledge" (tm) be wrong, illogical, riddled with contradictions and yet individual's faith in it remain with some kind of compensatory sub-faith developing to sustain it. I can only put it down to psychic overshadowing or hypnosis at present. That is not to say "something" is not going on and that there are not other non-physical "beings" involved.
Either the BKs like rabbits caught in the headlights of reality bearing down upon them as full speed, or are they hanging on in a white knuckle fairground ride - in the hope of more palaces and diamonds in the Golden Age? May be it just becomes a sanskars?
I find it interesting looking at the old philosophies from the 1930s and 1940 where they clearly believed in a Universal God of Light, a God within, a Universal Creative power. In a way, what you are saying, the New Age line of creative realities (e.g. The Secret etc), what I lean towards believing, is much closer to the original way of thinking with excludes a Supreme Shiv soul. I am currently feeling that the 'Shiv soul' is a latter imposition and until it is clearly evidenced to me how, where and why it came about; I suspect that it was at the point of its involvement that the movement became involved with some other psychic entity/entities.
I am still stuck because I do not know where the 'Egg God', detached and separate from a Cosmic Oneness, entered the BKWSU equation. I am working on the theory that this was the point where certain elements within the BKWSU took power and swung the movement
off track and into cycles of fear, separation and control, i.e. "the Islamicists" as by the PBK understanding. Again, this is not to say that there is not "something" benign going on but that it is going on
despite what the leadership think, say and do. That "good" BKs are having their "good" experiences
despite the spirit or 'spirits' prevailing thought the organization at present.
You mentioned that you had intuitive gifts Paul. Can you share any of the psychic experiences you have had re the BKWSU. I believe that we need more second opinions on what is going on in the astral or psychic level with them and relating to their beliefs. Ditto, if you know other good psychics or channellers, can you ask them what their 'guides' and the spirit world, think and say about the BKWSU?
