Having been in Poona a couple of months or so, and having either just begun , or being about to begin working as a book editor (‘The Mustard Seed’), Osho agreed that I take up Maharishi’s TM (so-called ‘transcendental meditation’)again (I’d previously practised it for around 9 months, 5 or so years before).

That was despite him having already quite often decried this method as virtually useless, as not ‘true’ meditation at all.

That’s just one, very small, but I think, telling example of how flexible he was, always looking into what a person actually might need, rather than rigidly keeping to a set of practises outside which one might stray ‘at one’s peril’!

My feeling is it’s just foolish and untrue to try to put such a man ‘in a box’, he was/is far too vast for such mind-made limitation.

Ultimately, the individual and his/her freedom – and personal responsibility – is important, more important than any collective or community.

Any collective/community – or indeed, any individual – needs to accept this, which was surely one of the lessons of Rajneeshpuram.

osho was…or maybe he wasnt …or maybe other people thought he was……do middle of the roaders get poisoned by evangelists ..I wonder….

The Apaches, the Sioux and the Comanches welcome Obama’s new ‘ immigrants will be arrested’ law.They are waiting for everyone to leave by next week…he didnt strike a rightwing deal to get his medicare through by any chance did he?

As Malcom Mclaren manager of the sex pistols said last week just before he died, his last words were.. free Leonard Peltier…that’s one for the flag arse kissers of US of A

me and swami clouseau might do better helping old sannyassins cross the street instead…as collaboration elsewhere is proving fickle to say the least

and talking about fickles….lets fick now and talk about it later

Yes, it is possible and easy to explain. I simply looked and saw this. It was obvious. I think anyone who spent some time around Osho could not have failed to observe this unless they needed specs. There was nothing escoteric about this phenomena it was plain to see. As far as the experiencing side of it goes I can only speak for myself. It made me feel humble because there was something deeply sad about it for me. It made me see the pain of the master trying to wake people up. I am sure Osho probably talked about this but the most moving account of the master’s plight that I have ever heard came from H W Poonja.
I was listening to him read a long-winded letter from a seeker in California. It seemed endless and boring. Then Mr Poonja took of his glasses and explained the agony a master sometimes feels when confrontered with the sleep of ignorance in his disciples. There were tears in his eyes as he spoke. The tidal wave of love vibes that rolled over the satsang that morning almost succeeded in knocking me over, no easy feat as I am a big stubborn Scotsman. Once again that amazing old man had succeeeded in bowling me over with an aspect of life that I had never really contemplated. Like watching Osho it was a humbling experience.

I think Martyn is asking if Osho was a babe magnet. Of course he was. Cowgirls get the blues and babes sometimes get lost in the woods and yes, once in the while, babes get the call to awaken to the enlightened condition.

PS Does Swami Detective have a fan club? I must confess and tell you I am knocked out by some of his comments.

Lokesh is it possible toshare with us how experienced this.. have read osho himself saying similar things

” Someone like him needed major distractions to keep him interested in the mundane goings on of this world. ”

This is even more interesting.. That may explain so many things aboput Osho’s material side ( whatever was there )

The notion of Inner-Circle secrecy as stipulated by Osho is an interesting one. It is of course quite convenient. The Inner-Circle operated for a time before Osho left the body. It would be interesting to hear how it functioned, and to hear from some original Inner-Circle members about this subject.

There is also a strange set of events surrounding Doc Amrito. On the eve of Osho leaving the body (or was it the next), Amrito said to everyone in White-Robe that the following evening he would go through the functioning of the Inner-Circle. Now tell me how that works. If the code of secrecy was so important such that twenty years on there is not a word, yet just after Osho left the body Amrito was of the view that it was actually not so secretive. What makes sense is that something transpired between the time of announcing that he would explain how the Inner-Circle functioned and the next evening. Amrito has still till today yet to explain how the Inner-Circle functions. What circumstances lead to his change of position? Ahh, it’s a secret. Good one!

and ….osho was pure delight…
though that didnt stop him from being an arsehole too in his estimations of our capacities….though ‘he’ wasnt there so Im currently taking tickets for Blaming the Universe through him which is a bit difficult really
all of course… IMO..

and of course if you prefer animals….. Go VEGan !

if swami jayarse tells ma turaluraluiya that his ego is bigger than her ego then as a german she has to surrender….its all about equal and opposing forces…. when the arsehole meets the cocksucker….they deserve each other…

Now im turning this into a musical…hot on the heels of that anti fascist hit ‘ Springtime for Hitler’ .. Except this time I’m calling it ‘Tough Love- The Musical …’

But I suppose asa labelled ‘extremist’ I would say that wouldnt I.. which makes me a….. (one at a time please theres a queue)…

I have nothing to say

xcept

is it a babe magnet…?

(I tend to ask everyone the same question)

Osho is it a ..etc etc…

Well then….Lokesh..is it ?
