As per another topic, here, I've been watching a few of the BKs' "Godlywood" English language videos ... "Ethics of materialism" and "How Conventional Morality has failed us".
As far as I can work out, by the "Ethics of materialism" or "Conventional Morality" she really just means what they used to call "Body-consciousness". It the same old argument, fudged at the edges not to reveal too much of their real teachings.
To real philosophers, words like ethics, materialism, and morality have already established meanings which the BKs are attempting to sound-a-like but to add nothing. And, I am afraid, show they know nothing either.
Embarrasingly, they call it 'Socratic dialogue', historically a form of prose, when they probably mean 'Socratic questioning', which it is not either.
I take back what I said about Denise having half a brain. It appears to have wasted away for not being properly challenged within the BKWSU.
Well, that's just what the BKs called body consciousness and has zilch to do with materialism.
Except for body conscious matriarchal societies and ones that saw woman as a higher expression then men, one presumes? Simplistic black and white teaching.
"Laws"? Karma and spirituality are not laws. But it's interesting how she falls back on words like rules and laws whilst sounding like Margaret Thatcher ... you see ... you see ... you see ... Well, I see through you Denise, if that's what you mean.
Neither are "laws" ... this is just a pot BK service talk. Now here's the corkers ...
Well, that's what we say about the BKWSU ... like no Destruction in 1950, 1976, 1986, 1986 to 1996, Year 2000 and so on!
And ...
Like Brahma Kumarism is "logical, coherent and consistent"?
Like BK Denise Lawrence claiming, that ...
... and that's why so many people can use technology today!
Sorry love ... no, it's not new. And these words materialism and spiritualism already have perfectly good meanings, so learn then or stop muddying the water.
She also misquotes what she calls a "rule" discovered by Schopenhauer ... "First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident" (referring it to BKism) which Schopenhauer never actually said. See ... Science, Pseudoscience, and The Three Stages of Truth
Fail. I hope Magela Pillay get out quick before the same thing happens to her.

Conventional Morality that everyone is used to ... the materialist paradigm ... that a human being is a male or female body.
Well, that's just what the BKs called body consciousness and has zilch to do with materialism.
Conventional morality people who are in male body are fundamentally more valuable than people in female body.
Except for body conscious matriarchal societies and ones that saw woman as a higher expression then men, one presumes? Simplistic black and white teaching.
Conventional morality is not alignment with the realities of the Laws of Karma.
"Laws"? Karma and spirituality are not laws. But it's interesting how she falls back on words like rules and laws whilst sounding like Margaret Thatcher ... you see ... you see ... you see ... Well, I see through you Denise, if that's what you mean.
Laws of Karma are not standards, they cannot be changed, like the law of physics.
Laws of Karma are based ... they are not based ... they reflect the laws of spirituality ... The laws of spirituality says souls will always reincarnate at humans
Neither are "laws" ... this is just a pot BK service talk. Now here's the corkers ...
Once we know we have been betrayed by something one leaves it.
The proof has to come out in the pudding ... If my views are correct and I live by them they will be the results that will happen, if my views are not correct then I will not get the results I planned on.
Well, that's what we say about the BKWSU ... like no Destruction in 1950, 1976, 1986, 1986 to 1996, Year 2000 and so on!
And ...
not everybody is willing to accept something that is logical, coherent and consistent if it is in opposition to what they are used to.
Like Brahma Kumarism is "logical, coherent and consistent"?
Like BK Denise Lawrence claiming, that ...

The foundation of Conventional morality is the materialist paradigm.
Spiritualist paradigm ... A human being is not a body ... that is something new.
