Who is God to you?

I was going to do this as a poll, but realised it would be a bit restrictive. As a result of some recent discussions, I've realised we have a lot of discussion about the chariots, the organisations and the spiritual practice, but not so much on the big G Him and/ or Herself. Do you still believe in ...

I've just noticed that the Wikipedia site seems to have been updated recently and that the restrictions that it had on certain people updating it have been removed. Does this mean that everything has been agreed and all is sweetness and light once more 8).

Yes. Develop a real relationship with God. Maintain the Maryadas out of love and understanding, not guilt and fear. Find like minded people :lol:, to churn with. Murlis are on here; and there are other ways to get Baba's versions, even if not in the right order, if you know the right people. Its wit...

I was never banished but I did see the subtle withdrawal of one's position as a credible Brahmin. It did usually go on behind your back with nothing even spoken outright. That's very true. I've just realised why a recent work situation hurt so much. My work colleagues didnt talk to me, they went to...

Mmm. Obviously even this tasty topic isnt enough to tempt any more BKs over the fence! Like those thoughts ABK, especially the one about not eating your friends. Mr green, and the interesting point then is ... who is the self? Is it what I've grown up with knowing or something more? Arjun, I get wha...

2 points after reading this pot pourri of experiences; 1. do not go writing your letters to God in ways that are obvious or signing them ... even in Madhuban the Seniors read them. I know of someone who got into trouble because they didnt realise that ... 2. Banishment is a subtle thing ... its the ...

This definition does not have much to do with hypnosis as it is taught and practiced. Hypnosis is essentially consensual. The hypnotist enables the person to discover something within themselves, and to express it. But from what ex-l was saying earlier; it can be self-imposed hypnosis ... I would a...

I am never sure though if Rossi ice cream or The Quo are the best thing to come from the Rossi family I am glad someone else got the joke ... :wink: My aim is to understand the BKSWU good and bad, give credit where credit is due, but also see the faults and the implications they have. Where as your...

Re: Dream Center

In the lokik, wordly, world they play a game called Dream Team were contestants put together their perfect soccer or football or baseball team, whatever, made up of the best players from whenever, and have imaginary competitions between them. I was wondering who your Dream BK Center, or Nightmare B...

You are right to say that Yoga is seldom discussed. I think BKs get into a rut with it and very few are actually having soul-conscious connection with Shiva Baba. How do you define hypnosis? My experience of meditation is; when it is any good, that there is a deep experience of silence, and also of ...

The difference between us is that I am not so concerned about what God is up to but what the BKWSU is up to in God's name. I think part of my turning point with regards the BKWSU came about because I thought that it would be much better to become the sort of person that "God" - or any of ...

On another post, ex l put a link to an article about Heidi, 10 years on, where she denied that she had ever planned to commit suicide and said it was one of the daughters of her followers trying to sabotage them who informed the police.

Rats ... I came in here looking for Rick Parfitt ... :lol: Aherm ... well, yes, in my experience, when ever people I knew tried to do something empowering and radical. Even when proven to work, it was quickly discredited and stamped upon. There is trust only in the past. In the so called proven syst...

As I tend to meditate on my own, does that mean I am hypnotising myself without being aware of it?
