The right to appeal ended on July 2nd. Does anyone know whether the case was appealed or not? Seems really quiet on the airwaves.

Dear Friends,
Before I went out early today, I had the idea to post to you, as I was haunted in a way by an article in the English press about some of the Murdoch team, like Rebecca Brooks, who, with others, had to attend court because of their drastic manners in terms of
‘investigative journalism’ (bugging phones, stealing privacy of traumatized people etc. etc. etc., very ugly methods. As you all might know by now, the Murdoch empire had and has good lawyers…so she (a most impertinent and attractive woman) was deemed ‘not guilty’ the other day.

If someone – no matter who – is associating by free will to that or another kind of press
(I mean, BESIDES offering them a meditation hour beyond any political mix-and-merge, because the latter would be urgently NEEDED at these times) one has to beware of potentially ending up in one of their ‘yellow press’ trash bins.

I don’t know Arun – by now, maybe from former, former, former days, just by passing in the Ashram –
but I simply don´t know him.

But I feel concerned about one point:
That we here at the caravanserai don´t start to behave like the ‘yellow press’ ourselves!

Wish you a good night, friends,

Madhu

I committed myself to going through both books just after the pair came my way about twenty years ago, and that experience was like daily meditation. Really powerful.

Extraordinary youtube docs in the link – thanks, Martyn, fascinating stuff. Likewise, other videos on same page.

I have the ‘Before Sleep’ book – not in the bedroom but in the bathroom…Single page extracts combined into chapters on various themes. Very good it is, for a quick “contemplation” or two….

How about we start an archive of all the original editions of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh books?

You can have mine. Been wondering what to do with them when I die.

Trouble is, who will trust us, trust that we will tell them the truth about the texts if it doesn’t fit with their prejudices?

‘A Must for Morning Contemplation’
and
‘A Must for Contemplation Before Sleep.’

Both compiled, as I recall, at Osho’s behest and with his help.

The issue is really about trust and fear.
Whover is editing, there will be some who don’t trust them.

Fear, because of some people’s insecurities about Sannyas,
fear that Sannyas will break down and they will lose their safety net.

I don’t accept what you say, Anthony. I love the ‘old’ books published from 1975 to 1980. Such love and such devotion was involved. I remember being in the silk screen department and we used to print all the covers of the books individually, and many were rejected for really small mistakes.

Those books were in fact edited. Satyadeva, for example, edited the Mustard Seed (first edition). Maybe he can comment here about what that really meant. As I recall, grammatical things were changed, etc. but they went back to Osho before publication for his final say-so.

If you sanitise Osho you reduce the energy impact of the man, whatever he was actually saying.
I looked at some of the modern compilations, they seem to be ‘selecting’ text that offer a ‘public relations’ window to Osho.
