Sorry abek , I agree completely with andrey - we really need to avoid jumping on his input, it's becoming a bit of a habit! :wink: God (or our higher self if you prefer) does have father-like qualities. We tend to focus a lot on this in various world faiths (perhaps because it's true?!). As I've alr...

Dear all, Good topic - thanks to bro neo for starting it. I can now be considered as a representative of the monotheistic faiths you refer to. Remember that I've dabbled with BK over last six years, but I am also drawn to (especially Tibetan) Buddhism, have an Indian-bodied wife and am in the proces...

I agree with what most of you have written, especially I am concerned about rejection of deeper parts of oneself that one mistakenly considers separate from one's true self Most of my developmental issues have been centred on the small self/me/ego (sub)consciously rejecting the path which God/the un...

Dear all, I think this is a really good idea/development. In my early days in Gyan, I tried to get to grips with Hindi and got a BK document from GCH with translations of common Gyani words/phrases from Hindi into English. Maybe we should develop an informative and/or humorous ex-BK dictionary/thesa...

Thanks ex-I - loved it lots. Funnily enough, llamas and alpacas are a bit of a theme here at the moment. This weekend we saw some near Shaftesbury and my boss took a good picture of some near here in Wiltshire. God's obviously got something cool lined up for me whether in this life or the next - alw...

Hello guys, I agree with both of you especially we are co-creators with Divinity it's the 'God' in humans which separates us from all the other lifeforms on this planet and its this 'God' part of us from which the whole idea of God has come from I guess it's the word separates which may be the essen...

Hello proy, I also saw and enjoyed the first episode in Michael Wood's series on The Story of India. It ranged from northern India to Turkmenistan which was one of the places the Aryans were meant to come from. I looked at the BBC website BBC The Story of India: Pakistan and North India . Not much i...

Thank you andrey for having the courage to say this I don't have a lot of experience of meditating in a group I probably don't have as much experience with group meditation as other forum members, but I've tried both individual and group techniques over the last six years or so. For me the results h...

Detachment = Purity?
Sorry andrey, I completely disagree with your emphasis. First we have to cut all relationships with the world and with everyone and then to connect with one. Otherwise one enters into tug of war. What you're describing is the sannyasi path = withdrawal from the world, which is only appropriate for a...
