... a shiny promise of "even better”.
Well, I certainly did not mean "levels" in terms of 'better', if that is what you are reacting against.
I might have said different depths of experience. I can concede that doing BK Raja Yoga, or the practises within BKism that lead up to BK Raja Yoga, still the mind significantly. I merely underline that *that* is not the purpose of it and that in "BK Raja Yoga" -
a stolen terms from another genuinely ancient tradition and far broader school of yogic practise (Patanjali's) - is the "touching" element that this individual's Father is speaking off.
A union with their god spirit or, as I would describe it, an initiation into a relationship with that "god spirit" - which the BKs do before the individual *really* knows what they becoming involved within - through devious means and behind a curtain of half-truths and manipulations.
I am a fish who took the bait and, I hope, freed myself. I was 'in the boat'. Now, I hope, I am back in the water.
I am trying to teach people how to think and how to assess what they are being fed, and to look out for the hooks before they swallow it.
Looking at the language of how the BKs present their god spirit these days, in order to broaden the appeal for their 'fishing expeditions', it is becoming even more obscured. They use words like "The Source", on top of old stuff like "The Light" or "The Father" etc to refer to him. BKs know what those words mean within BKism. Outsiders are misled to believe they mean what they think they mean, in order to hook them in. Even in order to act as bait to more and attract bigger tasty fish. They think they are uniting with their god, or universal states, not the BKs' spook.
I say, look at all these signs to understanding what you are getting involved with. Is it honest, open, accountable, truthful? Would you expect a good god or god person to be?
But, to get back to the original poster, I think the question they should be asking is not so much, "
should I try out BKism ... should I open myself and allow the BK god spirit within my aura?" (to which the answer is an outstanding "no way on earth"), but "
My Father has been hooked by the BKs, what should I do?".
And my first line on that is always, forget the religion, forget the philosophy, ignore all the distractions ... secure the family's wealth and property *before* the BKs get their greedy, big devious hands on it. Because they will if they can. They'll take 10%, 90%, 100% is they can while chanting the mantra, "we don't ask for donations".
That's is fairly (but not quite) true, they don't ask for donations ... they brainwash their victims into surrendering everything with the "jam tomorrow" equation you are writing about. "Work for us for free, give us everything, surrendered your mind, body and wealth today ... because time is short and the End of the World is near!!! ... and you'll get multi-million fold jam tomorrow (wealth and status in the Golden Age).
Can they save their Father? Do they want to save their Father? Should they save their Father and mother (who if she is not already a BK could end up being given to the BKs as a servant along with his property)?
Those are the real questions I'd be asking.
