I’ve done IT…
I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN MY SECRET LABORATORY FOR WEEKS NOW..and I’ve stumbled across the formula for the RENEWED MAN..this new radical approach to living would include a meditation divided into several phases lasting as long as you like but which included the transformative ability to use the power of thought to :

A) Consider events that happened a long time ago (first 15 minutes up to say first two days) including the fall of the Roman Empire or any films by Oliver Stone.

B) Have an opinion about something that happened once (second stage lasting 15 minutes or until the opinion changes)

C) Keep discussing how something that happened to somebody else was caused by something sometime ago ( third 15 minute stage usually but not always received in silence.)

D) Disagree either alone or with a partner (this stage is optional following any decision to replace it with consensual sexual activity )

Visit kitchen ( breaktime for dedicated meditators to put on kettle)

Final stage : lasts about 20 seconds …Blame everything on America, Evolution and the collapse of moral values and the spread of Simpsonism..
then
dig a deep underground bunker and store food and carry live ammunition and a thick book….

I know, what Osho were speaking over is possible, not the way expectation like it. But realizing of this “Self” is possible. All understanding, freedom and truth rises from that place otherwise you are just a cue ball for common mossback interest. It is truth, oneness… die living… go the deepest point… even deeper, little straight, turn around, open all three eyes and look into it look and fix yourself, grass grows by itself.

roman- actually osho’s old name- Bhagwan means just that.. and he did make statements that he was god- in a flashy sort of way. he also made statements that he never made mistakes.. and osho talked about doing things and then changed his mind.. very notorious for saying one thing and then changing his tune.. or have you forgotten his discourses? Sannyasins “conveniently forgetting the past and then re-writing history to justify their participation in sannyas and osho, to the outside world. not a sign of an intelligent life form, like osho hoped his “New Man” would be.. quite the opposite.

there is no such thing as being totally objective regardless… always a little bias, but one can only do the best he or she can to get as close to objectivity as possible.. starting with using a little common sense- doing that you’re 90% there.

if hitting people verbally over the head due to their “head up the ass” malady, then so being- “aggressive” it is then.

nice to hear back from you karima. Well of course it’s second hand, but many of those writing books were there and saw things themselves. Many have remained silent, except for few who have posted here in the past, as i mentioned previously.. get as much info as you can, and using one’s common sense and being as unbiased as one can be, make up your mind to what is probably the truth.. though your opinion of osho’s lack of actions, comes from, i think , your conditioning from the previous years(before the ranch debacle) of being a sannyasin, and being influenced by others in your clique. I see no opinion based on what probably transpired during the pune 1 and ranch and pune 2 days, and from accounts from the insiders who spilled the beans. did you ever have chats with friends or acquaintances and was told of their schemes to make money, legally or legally? ever come across a ma(s) who worked as a prostitute or a stripper? not rumors but directly from the horse’s mouth? Well, i have, and many. Just put the pieces together, and add it all up, and include the denial and deceit and jealousies humans in general have along with the traumatic stress that most sannyasins had that led them to osho in the first place.. and the truth will be close at hand… simple arithmetic and common sense… still lacking in the osho sannyasin world of today… i’m a bit dumfounded by the this continued idiocy of sannyasins.

jay, for me all these stories and opinions i hear about Osho are second hand, i did,nt expierence it first hand myself. It’s all very interesting to read and i feel the mind want’s to make a stand: for or against,meaning for Osho, or for the various stories. In my understanding that is the bubble of seperation, duality. So yes my stand is for Osho, i believe,and i might be totally wrong that he played along with the game as it presented itself each moment. I don”t think he planned anything. I think he played along as a child,like children play robbers and coppers,innocent and yet totally awake, without judgements. I feel he was in the natural state. But on the other hand, he was in the role of the Master,also that happened in a spontanous way. And if i have my information right,than that is the last ego-position. Attached to that position is probably certain karma which has to be expierenced. So the whole situation on the ranch,all the pain and struggle must have gone through him in a deep way. I think he was crucified by our unconscious acts, (karma) and his own unresolved karma. What i’m trying to say is that he took also our suffering , i don’t mean he took it,but because he was the One( as we all are) what we felt, he felt it too. So much that he probably took the laughing gas an valium to get some relieve.! I know it sounds hilarieus,and when i’m honest i have to say i don;t know,and anyway this is not about Osho but about me. Namaste
