That’s actually the best thing you’ve ever put on here, DR, most amusing it is.

Rather in the style of an old ‘Rupert’ story in fact…

Nothing, of course, remotely concerning any actual person, alive or dead, but nevertheless well executed.

Well done, lad, if you continue to progress over the summer holidays there’ll a place for you in the top set next term.

I sort of dropped out for roughly ten years. If you spoke to me five years ago or even two years ago I would have said the same. I remember looking into it now and again and it felt like old hat, with all that sex and stuff, and the stupidity of it all.

Today it feels as fresh as a fresh thing. Not only that but I feel it is better that a lot of the other ideas that currently being pushed about. Take for example that Zizek chap that I mentioned some moons back. Over the last few years he has been getting into buddhism, you can check out his lectures on utube an all you will find is headstuff and he has a following … Osho on the other hand … and that is just one subject. I can name you five.

It feels very different today. I don’t really know what it was then, but today I am not taking it seriously, it’s just a giggle, I only have a few years to go so it’s just a play. Maybe it always was …

Somehow you guys that appear to have given up, yet are still here entertaining … so, what is it that you like? Is it the attention you get, or is it the attention you give?

To be honest I’m finding it increasingly difficult to relate to sannyas and Osho. I do try but my heart is no longer in it. Well as Dhyanrage will tell you I am an ex-sannyasin of 32 years, so, hardly surprising now, is it?

While presumably no one’s going to criticise anyone for going out and ‘following their dream’, the trouble is, DR, you give out all this fine-sounding rhetoric about how wonderful it is to ‘ride on the energetic wave of a living Osho-type buddha’ and so on, yet provide no evidence whatsoever of any personal ‘transformation’ (rather the opposite really, as, going on the evidence at SN, your ‘personal self’ is very much alive and, er, ‘kicking’).

Full of profound criticism of others, yet nothing to suggest you’re significantly any different…

Until contrary evidence appears, one tends to assume, therefore, that it’s ‘all talk, little substance’. Unless, like most of humanity, you’re simply living on ‘hope’….

for vartan who mistakenly says “Osho’s message is, promote me, represent me, but don’t be me.”

“every disciple who has loved has become one with the master.

there is no need of any competition, nor one successor
it is for everybody who has offered himself in deep gratitude,
who has become one in a certain sense wth the master’s presence”
