lasting effect

Hi John. Would you say the treatment lasted/was permanent or do the symptoms eventually come back .i.e. would a smoker eventually start again. In my experience the effect is lasting with occasional regressions to former habits. John Lawrence's approach is that after a number of sessions the effect i...

hypnotised me!

Has anyone on here ever actually been hypnotised and would have first hand experience? Yes, I have. I have also done a lot of self-hypnosis. It can be very similar to Raja Yoga, both in method and in its effects. One self hypnosis CD I have even tells you to "Relax and gaze at a dot on the wal...

[Policy] Child Contributors - Youth Forum policy

I have read about BK youth camps on this forum and I think this is a good thread to raise the topic on as these youth must surely be Laity as they are too young to be BKs. Can anybody with more experience than myself please give some description, accounts (personal if possible ) and opinions on the ...

People who do not attend regularly to Murli are seen as just not quite having an open intellect therefore only mildly fortunate your are either IN or you are OUT. IN means pukka - you follow the rules 24/7/365. OUT means you are either not a BK or you have trashed eternal fortune, or both. This is ...

Laity

I will use Roman Catholicism as an example as I think we can all agree that Roman Catholicism is definitely a rel...

BK Laity

Nothing is ever enough because there is no Laity? There is much discussion about whether the BKs are a religion or not. I believe they are not a religion, or at least not meant to be. A religion is inclusive. The BKs are exclusive. You are either born a brahmin soul or you are not. You will either ...

The retreat programme I went on was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the BKs. The speakers were informal, liv...

BK marriage

Uddhava wrote:about your BK marriage - I am guessing that you were married before encountering BKWSU?
You are correct in your guess. I encountered BKWSU just after I was married, unless you count seeing them at a Mind, Body, Spirit Show as an encounter.
