Take out the Junk

Putting aside all the rubbish, one can consider if this meditation works. Can thoughts around God, and Godly knowledge, scotch bad karma, and improve good karma, and is this the only way? I see karma as a pendulum, push it and it swings. Push it well and more harmony results, push it badly and ugh! ...

Re: BKWSU leadership accessibility

Hi ex-I, Long time no see. I thought I was saying that Raja Yoga does screw certain individuals up and sometimes very badly. In my experience it is better for a screwed up person to take personal responsibility than to blame anyone else even if they were treated badly or inaccurately. If one is expe...

Re: BKWSU leadership accessibility

Matters become legal when the parties involved cannot deal with them by normal means. I suspect that the BK may be a little afraid of interaction with bk.info parties hence the running to legality. It may be that the legal route is not the best one for the BK as despite their pure and virtuous attai...

Re: Rape motive suspected in BK killing - RIP BK Dawn Griggs

Respect is under rated. When one respects the will of others, it is likely that one's own will is healthy. Imposing ones will on others is a deep topic, rape is a gross form. It may be that knowing better than everyone else is a more subtle form, whatever the form I personally think that imposing on...

At the end of the day the only person accountable for anything I say or do is ? I am not a believer in bringing coals to the pit.

Re: Good quotes

He who aspires to the betterment of himself and humanity should ceaselessly strive to arrive at the exercise if that blessed attitude of mind by which he is enabled to put himself, mentally and sympathetically, in the place of others, and so, instead of harshly and falsely judging them, and thereby...

Re: The Tao of the Traveller

Hi Tom, If you consider that to be a retaliatory post it is ineffective for the following reasons. 1) It is your conduct that we are discusssing and not mine. 2) Notice that I included myself in the wry comment on forum life that you quoted. To make it clear just read the sentence with "other c...

Re: The Tao of the Traveller

Well little Tommie, There you are at it again. Why not wait until the story unfolds? At least then you will have something more tangible to trash. Your speciality at present seems to be putting others down. How about creating a little encouragement or support or even inspiration now and then? Why ig...

Re: The Tao of the Traveller

Hello Robin, The idea of egg was of my own creation, there are only banana skins here. I can clearly see that your words were factual and look forward to hearing more news. This thread is quite peaceful now that the film is becoming available. It now seems right and proper that ms.orange's past role...

Re: Where are you all going???

Hello ex-I, You've got me wondering how much training Taoists receive. It can often be useful to pass on peace to others by other than sensory means. I've been in many situations where if I had been much more peaceful the outcome would have been too. Identity in the context of thought creation is al...

Hello Robin,

You are making me smile. I am so glad the film is doing so well, it certainly deserves it. the more egg on my face in this context the better.

Kindest regards,

Re: WHERE ARE YOU ALL GOING??????

We have no need of going back to the kindergarten or 'spiritual' psychiatric hospital that the BK leadership offers. Yes, it does seem that such is the case but what about other people? On the one hand we tell others that the BK are a cult but on the other hand we provide little in the way of a via...

Re: WHERE ARE YOU ALL GOING??????

Hello newlife, Thanks for your story, very interesting. Perhaps calling the thread "where am I going?" would have elicited a more favourable response here. Playing the part of a reformed sinner must be very colourful for those that attend your classes. Thanks for your unhelpful vision of m...
