Seeking the Truth confused with Cult Fodder

Below is a typical commercial journalist approach to those who have the right to explore Osho and his teachings/work without being branded “cult fodder”.  The article below seems to be appearing in a lot of places on the web.  SN comments welcome as to its prejudiced and ill- informed content. Just as well for these “opinion leaders” to remind themselves that Socrates himself was eventually executed for the crime of “Corrupting the Young”!

Jenner

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are arguably two of Hollywood’s most genetically-gifted teens today. This gift comes at a price however in that they may also be the most controversial based on the consistent scrutiny of their entire Kardashian-Jenner clan which has resulted in a distinct lack of privacy. The constant chronicling of the Kardashian-Jenner clan drama is one thing, but there is another issue that is also intriguing.  Speculation and circumstantial evidence may point to the possibility that Kylie Jenner could be running with a cult.

In recent months, other celebrity teens have been criticized in the media for running with what has been described by some in society to be a ‘dangerous cult’ along the West Coast. Osho, which is also known as the Rajneesh Movement, has been catching the eyes of young Hollywood stars. Those stars are not afraid to show their involvement with the movement. Found on social media sources like Instagram and Facebook, are pictures of the teens clearly indicating that they have their attention on the cult. The images include the Osho books, quotes, and even its symbol of the pyramid. The ‘fabulous’ Jenner sisters are not the only stars rumored to be following Osho, but also child stars like Willow and Jaden Smith, the children of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and ex-Hannah Montana star, Moises Arias who appear to be slowly becoming pro-Osho.

Those who visit the Osho website can research and determine for themselves what the “cult” is all about.  The website emphasizes meditation and other Eastern traditions like Zen, Tao and Buddhism, so the question is why are these teens being criticized for self-expression in what appears to be just another philosophical peace and meditation group?

In past decades, Osho has garnered a violent, yet perhaps misleading reputation. Recent findings have shown that those who sided with Osho have been in great amounts of trouble with the law due to rebellion. This cult was led by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, who many people today connect with the names “sex guru,” “drug lord,” and even “bioterror attack leader.”

How bad could this cult potentially be if they are able to pull in children from Hollywood and it has been years since Osho was reported for anything dangerous? Most child stars rebel and do what interests them. They can be as impressionable as any other teenager and have the same motivations to find themselves beyond what their Hollywood reputation has defined them as. They also have unique, personal interests that may or may not fit with the reputation assigned to them and that some might describe as outrageous.

For example, those who follow Jenner on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook may have been skeptical about certain images that she recently posted. Because she has the privilege of living in a lavish lifestyle, many might question her recent apparent need to rebel as evidenced by, for example, the addition of a bright peacock blue color into her dark brown hair. Others might question her recent obsession with “sharpie-tattoos.” Jenner further raised eyebrows when she traded in her trendy Kardashian Kollection purses and heels for jet-black, studded combat boots. There is also a recent Instagram post of Jenner in a meditating pose and added altogether these various behaviors indicate significant changes in Jenner’s lifestyle, more so than has been seen by her older sister Kendall and these changes may be due to Osho cult influences.

Kendall Jenner, Kylie’s 18 year old sister, has been very busy making more of a name for herself. Most would debate that she is the most successful out of the Kardashian-Jenner clan simply because she seems to have always been true to herself. Overall, Kendall has become the more prominent sister throughout the modeling business and her career is only rising as she has participated in shows and cat walks with fashion hot shots like Chanel, Givenchy and Marc Jacob. So why would she be linked to this dangerous cult? Most would say she is not. Most would even say that both she and Kylie have never really had the same interests growing up. This perfectly explains the Kardashian and Jenner family though. Should one family member be in the news, the others are automatically brought into that very same drama regardless of their level of involvement. Whether or not Kendall is running with the Osho cult just as much as her sister Kylie appears to be, they have always had the sisterly-bond and Kendall is surely supporting Kylie’s rebellious choices.

    Months ago, a journalist saw a woman with hairy armpits. He clicked the photo and wrote an article, “Rajneesh followers are spreading like wild bush.”

    Sounds like a voice intercept being broadcast from a Klingon vessel.

    It’s lame stuff, for sure.

    But it’s not just Osho.
    I was surprised to read an article by the so-called art critic of The Times, Waldemar Januszczak, a while back when he visited the Biennale art show in Venice. Jung’s ‘Red Book’ was on display in the context of outsider art and Januszsczk ripped into it, picking out one or two of the dream image pictures and presenting Jung as some kind of perverted con-artist.
    (Some of the artwork in the red book is quite psychedelic and interesting btw).

    The media is just a drip-feed for the human GM livestock stuck in the matrix.
    It’s the psychic equivalent of the over-packaged shite that passes for food in the supermarkets –

    Say no, bro.

      “should one family member be in the news, the others are automatically dragged into that drama regardless of their level of involvement”

      Notice the way the author passes a comment on, and defines for the reader ‘the way things are’ and avoids the fact that it is only so because the media has created it so.

      It`s like being a turkey, and having grain poured down your throat through a funnel…
      and then voting for Xmas!

    THANK you again, Frank,
    this time you really made it for a kind of start here;
    and one which I would have done – or would have chosen other words as a container for a message – BUT would have gone in that direction.

    When I saw the proposal for a new thread, yesterday quite late, around midnight, and after a kind of exhausting contact(s) elsewhere ´outside´, surprising for me (but maybe not for others), reading then, I took my time to face my lack of compassion for Hollywood teens, as well as for the symbiotic, parasitical connection between media and protagonists.

    Some of them already got that in their mother’s milk, or maybe even before (by everlasting distributed bits in internet photo-albums, including maybe even the prenatal…
    and then whatever may follow…

    AND

    I had to face my anger too, as always, when I feel that comparisons with Socrates, Pythagoras and his school and whatsoever in that dimension,
    are quite often brought in then, to ‘energise’ stuff which, out of my feeling, would deserve another sort of response.

    I am sad this is not my mother tongue – and I am not able just now to look for better expression (reminded faintly how Lokesh did ‘set it up’, when he felt something had been stretched mentally, beyond a limit).

    AND
    What came on the screen coincidentally
    -SN-wise – the article about some bastard´s violence, done to a woman in UK.

    That altogether made a mix in my mind and psyche in a female body, which was not a healthy feeling…to say the least!

    But believe it or not,
    I am still busy inside with the question:

    How could compassion, in the true sense of the word, look, for example, when one has to face these kind of teens or their elders or their kind of entourage nearby and not only in a newspaper?

    And is the way to just get out a verbal and silencing ZEN-Stick enough?
    (Your way – sometimes – I feel).
    Or is it to ignore the stuff and just go for more essential, or as essential, declared issues?

    Anyway, for me, sometimes the information unfolding comes close to the experience one can have with those BABUSCHKA puppets:
    there is always up to the end, another one to discover, unfolding underneath.
    And all look pretty much the same, but only get tinier and even tinier and so on…

    The BABUSCHKA itself, like a good and very good grandma, with protection and promise of support,
    feels good to finish my not-knowing trial-and-error this lunch-break time.

    And I wish you all well,
    and you well, especially today, Frank.

      Just see it for what it is, Madhu, media hyped rubbish about a bunch of very young people who have a lot of growing-up ahead of them.

      Also, as Frank points out, that the media in general are not only reporting, but shaping and actually creating much of what laughably passes for ‘reality’ these days.

      What chance have young people got, who’ve known nothing else, to see through it all, saturated with garbage from 24/7 tv and radio, internet, smartphones etc?

      Personally, I’d make it mandatory for children and teenagers to regularly spend time out in the wild, or at least, the countryside, away from such electro-magnetic mind-pollutants. Working on farms, trekking in the hills, along the rivers, camping out, and so on. But I guess that’s a whole new topic.

      As for the Osho references, well, what else to expect from such a source-with-a-small-’s', which couldn’t give a monkey’s about anything except ‘sensating’ gullible readers – and selling its wretched papers/magazines.

      Just relax with a tea-with-Zorba-powder, Madhu, and know (as you do anyway) this world is full of total fools (in league with ‘the Devil’ and well on the way to ‘hell’ – figuratively speaking, but of course!).

      • frank says:

        Maggie,
        If I met these kids, which is unlikely as Hollywood celebs don’t tend to hang around with whacked-out cult members, but if they did…
        I would probably sell them some Osho books at hugely inflated prices and maybe my old lapel badge from the Ranch that has a pic of Osho on it, with the slogan ‘Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Love Life Laughter’ on it.
        They would love that.

        It’s gotta be worth a hundred bucks.

        Continuing my earlier train of thought, ie
        “Personally, I’d make it mandatory for children and teenagers to regularly spend time out in the wild, or at least, the countryside, away from such electro-magnetic mind-pollutants. Working on farms, trekking in the hills, along the rivers, camping out, and so on”,

        I’ve just had a simply wonderful idea! Why not search the world for a decent slice of virgin land, miles from anywhere much, and build an internet-free, mobile phone-free rural paradise where young people, teenagers (and ‘over-grown teenagers’ in their 20′s and 30′s) could gather to ‘Celebrate Life’ together?

        Far from the prying minds and eyes of the trouble-making media and the oppressive influence of the powers-that-be, what could possibly go wrong?

    My God, with single stroke Madhu and Frank have assassinated the Media.
    Media is GM human livestock.
    Politicans, statesmen, diplomats are also in the trash list.

    Maybe few people think evolution started declining after Ayurvedic massage and Aura Soma practitioners.

      Shantam,
      Euromatrixcorp is financing
      the Lidl meatpies in your belly…
      the Lidl sugar-juice flowing round your veins…
      the Prozac in your synapses…
      the Kate Winslet simulacra that has been imprinted into what`s left of your mind and your dick…
      the sofa on which you dream…
      the Daily Mail software that has been downloaded into your skull…

      But your computer malfunctions badly, as these programmes are largely incompatible with the holy chuddie and turban software that you have not yet been able to uninstall from your computer…

      What to do?
      Here`s an idea…
      Restore the system to factory settings and get involved in a religious war!

    Never heard of these very young people, I think they are not famous at all, just people who seem to get themselves on television so-called reality shows – somehow.

    But they have one thing in common with everyone else, they are human beings caught in the existential matrix, as are we all. If somehow karma has ordained they have the money and the time and connections to meet sannyasins or lovers of Osho, or even just lovers of Osho books, then to me it is a fine thing that in their idle lives they are found reading an Osho book or two.

    In a strange way, as Osho pointed out when fabricated pics of him appeared draped by women in a Bombay paper,
    ‘Don’t worry! All publicity is good.
    That way, those who are sincere will get to find me, and they will have the right calibre to be real sannyasins. They will be the ones not put off, and who can see through the wiles of the media. If such stories did not appear however, they might never get to know who I am.’

    Most probably, Frank was in Pune One, he was also on Ranch, he was also part of Pune Two. He must be a diehard cultist.

    Jerk in the story is that twilight years of his life he is cared for by NHS system; surrounded by not Ma’s in Malas but Philippinos uttering Buddham Sharam in their accented English.

    Old sex workers and old sannyasins have nowhere to go but In, that too at the service sponsored by the people who cannot boast their adventures about Life, love, laughter.

    Do we really think God Inc. will roll maroon carpet for us?
