The USA did everything to end the commune. Agreed Arps.
But it would have been a damn sight harder for them if, for whatever reason, the temporal power at the Ranch had not been so damn stupid, and living in a fantasy, and criminal sub culture, hidden from us ordinary commune members.
Mind you, if we had survived, and maybe even continued to survive, we would have become boring, that’s for sure!

”However, consciousness has its costs, ever. At any time.”
Thats a fact. I recall Osho saying to be asleep, or fully awake is easy. To be waking up is hard.

”You seem to be content after all, are you ?”
Yes.Mostly.

”Are you greek origin , Arpana ?”
Brit.

I have heard about a dog who was very much against barking. Now, asking other dogs not to bark he became a very famous master amongst the dogs.

“Are good people bad because of the fascists they did not know were in their midst.” / Arpana

My own experience throughout these decades by now, Arpana , is, that if you shared and are sharing anything about your feelings, that something is going utterly wrong against the ´main stream, you lived and live a not only dangerous life but are systematically isolated if not harassed by those or expelled…at any time , by the way.

And yes, a fabulous Tarot card reading can shed some light on ´human conditioning. Dreams as nightmares we live collectively. In deep unconsciousness. Mostly.
However, consciousness has its costs, ever. At any time.

You seem to be content after all, are you ?
Are you greek origin , Arpana ?

Madhu,you say:
“this one (25 June, 2015 at 9:28 am)
of your various responses is not that funny or witty as you may have felt it, before pushing the send off button”

Must be a technical fault.
Have you tried unplugging your computer for 10 seconds then plugging it back in?

To answer your questions:
I chose a picture of a dog because I wanted to express that life is ruff.

I don`t really have a dog.The story about me having a mongrel called Diogenes who attacks people in spiritual uniforms was just a flight of fancy.

My mate Dave says that dogs are definitely man`s best friend and he has devised an experiment to prove it….
“Tie up your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car and one hour later,open up the trunk and … guess who is gonna be happy to see you!?!

Here`s the story:
Osho is conducting a meditation camp at Matheran hill station. Near about five hundred people are participating in the camp. He is staying at Rugby Hotel which has a big open ground in the middle where the camp is arranged.

One dog comes regularly and sits silently near the podium while Osho is speaking. I watch him. He comes a little early and has reserved his seat near the podium on the floor. He sits at the same place every day like a great meditator and looks very attentive with his ears raised while Osho is speaking.

When Osho comes and namastes everyone, he raises his neck and looks at Osho and Osho greets him with a great smile. It is the fourth morning today and Osho is standing at arrived at the station to see Him off. I am surprised to see this dog standing near Osho. Osho looks at the dog with such love that he starts wagging his tail.

After a few minutes, this mini train running between Matheran and Neral station is about to leave. Osho namastes everyone and enters the train. The train starts slowly, everyone has left except the dog who is walking with the train. The train picks up speed and the dog starts running with the train. Osho is watching him running and with the gesture of his hand blesses him and tells him to stop running.

The dog stops and looks up at Osho. I can’t resist waving my hand towards him saying good-bye. Osho remarks, “He is a very evolved soul.”
