What made me most happy about his journey was the dream he recounted at the end: how Osho appeared to him in the dream, the two lines of male and female naked sannyasins; and then the bird flying over him on the beach.

The path to true individuation, as per CG Jung’s analysis of dreams. Beautiful.

There are ‘signposts’ about seeing where one is at on the path of therapy. As well as on the path of meditation.

Cheers.

Real were strangely lacking in creative flair…in the past this has come from Karim Benzema, Rodrygo, Modric and others, but they lost Mbappe to an injury, Benzema now plays in Saudi, and Modric only came on in the 70th minute. The new players like Bellingham showed they relied more on power than on creativity, and it wasn’t enough.

I’m very much looking forward to the Arsenal vs Paris Saint Germain tie. PSG beat Liverpool earlier quite convincingly over two legs, these should be great games.

What for me was special about this was that it’s the journey of a man who spent considerable time close to Osho, and who was very much into being a disciple. The way he talks about surrender is very much part of what a lot of people in Poona One experienced.

Listening to this allows me to add a little more context to what I myself went through, where the roots of my growth as an adult actually lay.

I accessed the match via Amazon Prime, having seen it advertised there a few days ago, but last night I found I had to pay an extra £32 there to TNT, which hadn’t been mentioned previously. Was very annoyed at this and protested to Prime who said I could have a refund if I applied for one after 10 days. Clearly, they and TNT were trying to suck in more customers by this devious nonsense, yet another instance of shark-like business practice that left me thinking whether this sort of world is actually worth saving.

It’s just a mirror where you see your own being. Means there is no “own”, only one Being with many expressions.

In the end Arsenal won 2-1, with goals from Saka (a lovely chip after a flowing move which undid the Real defence) and Martinelli (a breakaway goal slotted in the far corner). It was thoroughly deserved, to crown their aggregate 5-1 win with victory away in the Bernabeu. I have seen many more exciting games, but few with this level of control.

MOD:
Thanks for this summary, NP, although strictly speaking it should be under a new topic, ‘The Rumble in the Bernabeu Jungle’. We’ll keep it here for today, in case anyone else might be interested (are you there, Anubodh?).

Maybe you have already watched it.

A Deeper Truth / Eine tiefere Wahrheit
- Alan Lowen der 30 Jahre später Geheimnisse offenbart

It is spoken in English. With German subtitles.

A searched for Sw. Anand Rajen – Alan Lowen – today as he is the fourth in a group of therapists. Together with Veeresh, Somendra, Teertha.

A friend of mine told me how he about twenty years ago committed his mala to the ocean. He felt he was done with Osho.

I admired him for that, the ability to resolve his own past to such a high degree that he could let go of such a significant person. It takes a lot of not-clinging to do that.

Even though I know Osho the human being is no more, I have not been able to release him so easily and completely.

Yes, I read the obit on OshoNews, too.

I feel in some way quite touched by the departure of Teertha.

After Veeresh and Somendra.

NP, would you mind letting us know the name of the Sannyas Group on fb (Facebook) where Teertha’s daughter posted? I could not find it.

Thanks in advance.

Seems to me, at that time you also did not have the choice.
