Tan.
That sounds like a challenging situation. My best wishes to you and your son.

About the rest of it–
Arthur Eddington, the astrophysicist, described the universe:
“Something is doing we don`t know what.”

It could be that apart from our sense of being and existing, everything else is imagination.

I’ll ask Yogi what he thinks about it if I ever run into him. I don`t know what he`s up to these days – probably enjoying a jar or two of the old amber nectar with Swami Bhorat, I should think….

Frank, I can understand your point and I am going just to tell my experience. I am here in Wales looking after my son, who’s got a mental ilness, and I can see clearly that mind can create misery, bliss, imagination, enlightenment, everything looking really real.

If the mind is there, like your limbs, to be used when needed, the space left is filled with something else, and that is not imagination. My regards to Yogi.

Tan…Imagine there was no fear of imagining anything that you can imagine.

It would be endless dancing.

Does it jiggle when you cha-cha or shimi?

“Osho talks straight to the heart of whoever is receptive and with such a power that people who listen change their life forever.”

This is exactly what happened to me & other international friends I have met at Tapoban.

Fortunately, there is a small Osho community here in L.A. & this post has inspired me to connect with them. I can say with confidence that my life is impacted positively, just by being around sannyasins/Osho lovers.

Hi Tan,
‘Mind’ is already too generic a term in this context as memory and imagination are not identical.to each other and not to mind either.

I don`t understand what you say about the “mind watching and waiting to take over.” Do you mean the “here and now” and “the mind” are locked in some struggle for the control of “you”?

This sounds like an imaginative possibility – characterising “the mind” as an entity that is “watching, waiting to take over”. I would go further into that imagination for a bit of fun and check out that story…it sounds interesting:

The good guy – the here and now, pottering along innocently, being stalked and watched by the bad guy (booo hiss, he`s behind you!)) who is just waiting for his wicked moment to usurp the present.

How does it end?

Hi Frank, welcome back, and I don’t get what you mean, so tell me.

Let’s call memory and imagination, mind, it will be easy for me that way.
You mean, the mind is taking over always, even in the moment of here/now?
You mean, the mind is always there in here/now just watching, waiting to take over?
You mean, there is no here/now, it is just time warp?

Frank, I know you are Yogi in disguise, so I hope you will bring much fun here in SN. XXXX

PM, you said: “Enquiry, of whatever form, into love is fundamental…” Sounds ok to me, then I don’t get what you mean till the cappuccino bit. I prefer Irish coffee. And I agree with you about many elements held in balance…In my Irish coffee, composed of coffee, whiskey, sugar and cream (soya for me, as well, ta), the balance is hot, strong but sweet, with the right amount of cream floating on the top. Wow! Lovely!

Sing and dance with balalaikas? Are u joking? I very much prefer to dance in the sound of love. Have you heard it? X
