If you're interested in spirituality, love, and your soul... if Brahma Kumaris have a group near you... if you haven't been yet, or not for a long time... may I suggest you go?
Brahma Kumaris (BKs) are a global spiritual university, honoured by the United Nations for teachings about humans and their souls. Remarkably, evening lectures, day workshops, and weekend retreats are 100% free - including yummy veggie food and 4* accommodation.
Last night I introduced four friends, Dimitri, Amanda, Robin, and Theresa to a BK lecture titled, "The Immune System for the Soul."
"Om shanti," opened a lady dressed in white, the colour symbolic of spiritual purity. Om is considered by many to mean the 'sound of the universe, or love'. Shanti usually means peace.
"Om shanti," replied some in the packed audience.
Many raised their hands to say they were newcomers.
The gist of the lecture was this:
Disease
The immune system in the body consists of cells of different frequencies. When one set of frequencies / cells goes wrong, illness can develop such as cancer - unless other cells 'consciously' correct the bad cells.
Dis-ease
Similarly, immune system of the soul consists of emotions of different frequencies. When one set of frequencies / emotions goes wrong, illness can develop such as anger, sadness or fear - unless love and peace can correct the bad emotions.
In other words, love and peace are not emotions - they are feelings that are free of negative emotion.
The final message last night was:
"Do something daily - for example meditation or contemplation - to free yourself of negative emotions, so you can be love and peace in action."
Om Shanti...
