		<description><![CDATA[This is my feedback of the moment to an identity named &#039;Dmateus 1&#039;, who asked for feedback in some remote caravanserai corner some 2 hours ago. He said he is ´new´ to eastern philosophy and then posted the pic of a tree eaten up by flames (at least that appeared as such in my Apple computer here, combined with his name and called an &quot;update&quot;).

Found a response  in ´wicki-net´:

&quot;Pyromania is an impulse control disorder[1] in which individuals repeatedly fail to resist impulses to deliberately start fires,[1] in order to relieve tension or for instant gratification. The term pyromania comes from the Greek word πῦρ (pyr, fire). Pyromania and pyromaniacs are distinct from arson, the pursuit of personal, monetary or political gain. It is multiple, deliberate and purposeful fire-setting rather than accidental.[2] Pyromaniacs start fires to induce euphoria, and often fixate on institutions of fire control like fire stations and firefighters. Pyromania is a type of impulse control disorder, along with kleptomania, intermittent explosive disorder and others....&quot;

Madhu

P.S:
It may be of concern to others too - onlookers or contributors: I am concerned. Very much so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Kavita (1 April, 2015 at 2:33 am),

We could call an Emergency Plumber Firm, called HARDON Inc., Iowa, or something comparable. 

Ever so nice - if it´s true or not, that Einstein is said to have said (last words):
&quot;When I come again, I´d like to be a plumber.&quot;

Likely it is said that Goethe´s last words were &quot;More Light, please&quot;....

Madhu

P.S:
There is Light more than enough, I would say, but not everybody uses it for Seeing.
But as far as the plumbing goes, we are not so well getting along, isn´t it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The expression &quot;Is the glass half-full or half-empty?..&quot; has for many years highlighted the tendency for two people to see the same situation in different ways.

The standard &#039;glass half-full or half-empty&#039; saying is commonly used to emphasize the difference between positive and negative thinking, or optimism or pessimism - or a cynic might say, the difference between irresponsible hopefulness and practical realism.

The Taoist sees that the glass is both half empty and half full, that neither half could exist without the other, requiring a point of balance in order to maintain equilibrium in the universe, and therefore, are merely two mirror images of the same realistic concept, so in the purity of absolute truth the glass is neither half full or half empty, the glass simply IS....

MOD: WHO WROTE THIS, PLEASE?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All very well to roll out an old – but in this case rather disingenuous – cliché (“rules are there to be broken”) in highlighting such a bureaucratic absurdity, Samarpan, but I seem to recall the Commune broke several other rules and laws that were rather less stupid, thus not only creating a public relations crisis that was never resolved, but also hastening the eventual demise of the entire project.

In the lingo of tv football punditry, ‘Shocking defending, terrible management!’ 

Basically, they shot themselves in the foot, multiple times – only for apologists like yourself to spring up and blame anything and everything – restrictive laws, government, Church, courts, police, media, CIA, Reagan, ‘retarded and ignorant locals’ – except themselves and Osho (whose personal responsibility for the debacle, however small, is still hotly contested by those who bridle like highly-strung horses at the slightest suggestion the master might have got some things wrong).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q:* IT&#039;S BEEN REPORTED THAT SHEELA HAS CALLED YOU ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH. GIVEN THE AMERICAN CONCEPTION OF CORRUPTION, DO YOU THINK SHE HAS ANY REASON TO SAY THAT?

A:* I don&#039;t know the American conception of corruption. I think corruption is the same whether it is in America or in Germany or in India. And if Sheela calls me the most corrupted man in the world, that&#039;s a great compliment. In fact, she is habituated to call me the most enlightened man in the world. Now she has to find something else, but &quot;the most and the unique&quot; still remains in it unconsciously.

She has put &quot;corrupted man&quot; instead of &quot;enlightened man&quot;, but nothing changes. I am still the &quot;unique&quot; and the &quot;most unique&quot; man in the world. So just tell her, &quot;Thanks for your compliment.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Lokesh: &quot;On Ibiza, we have very strict zoning laws in regards to construction.&quot;

Probably necessary and reasonable given that Ibiza has 91.4 inhabitants per square kilometre and limited space for expansion, being an island. In such an environment, rules are necessary for most activities, even for walking the dog.

Wasco County, Oregon, where Rajneeshpuram was started, had a population density of less than 4 people per square kilometre and lots of room for expansion. We were isolated, not bothering anybody, and contributing in a big way to the local economy. 

Lokesh: &quot;A bunch of orange-clad loonies shows up with an Indian guru, who has a penchant for Rolls Royces, and they start to immediately break the law. This has nothing to do with being a misfit and everything to do with not being aware of where you are on the planet.&quot;

Rules are there to be broken, especially when they make little sense to begin with. We were having satsang and dancing in Music Group in the Buddha Hall &#039;auditorium&#039;, which, according to the rules, was only supposed to be used for agricultural purposes. Is that such a big transgression...given where we were on the planet...in the middle of nowhere?]]></description>
