Hi fellow souls
I have been reading this site over the years but this is my first post.
I would like to ask put out a question for anyone to answer, especially those who were long time BKs.
First some background about me. A BK for over 25 years, lived in a number of centres, in charge of some. I went out of the centres a number of years ago. Until recently I’m still active in BK life, though I removed the superficial aspects and narrow minded thinking I had developed.
I have first-hand experienced the politics and unethical behaviour of Centre-in-Charges and NCOs. I have witness the organisation putting money and power before spirituality. I am at a loss of why an Indian Sister has been put in charge - yet after 20 years of living in a foreign country refuses to let go of Indian mentality and ways of operating.
Sometimes I can’t believe what I see happening ... from bullying to stealing, outright ego to gross greed, backward management etc etc. I would often dismiss it as drama ... but I later realised the way this BK organisation operates in this country does not align with my core values. In fact - at times I’m embarrassed to be associated with this group.
It has been on my mind for a few years now, but 2 months ago I decided to cut my ties with the organisation. The centre has nothing to offer me now - I feel I have moved on to new levels of openness and spirituality – where many current BKs, Centre-in-Charges etc are trapped in a time warp and system of control, it feels like a stagnant retirement centre suitable only for Indians. Most of the non-Indian BKs and many Indians have left for similar reasons.
I see more Godliness and spirituality in your well-to-do average person than the NCO of our country. I’m aware no one is perfect but what I see happening would even be considered unacceptable in the real/lokik world.
Before I became a BK I was a lost soul. I have gained a lot from being a BK, I have felt such love and fullness from Baba which I haven’t experienced anywhere else. I have no regrets of being a BK but I am now at the next phase in my life. I have studied and attended other spiritual groups, religions etc and I’m yet to come across one that matches the philosophy of the BKs.
So I still believe in the teachings and do believe it is taught by God.
My question to you is ... do you still believe this knowledge is the truth and that it is taught by God?
If not ... what is it you believe?
Have you adopted another belief system? Ie Christianity
Or made up your own?
I am asking this because I am re-evaluating my belief systems and Im interested to know what ex-BKs now believe after Gyan has been ingrained into their being for so many years.
I appreciate your responses.
