Thanks, SS, I got it right, then!

Osho seemed arrogant, but he was not, not at all. Arun got it wrong there!

Ok! Osho loved the tree, where is the relationship? Wrong again!

I don’t like this guy Arun.

Cheers, SS.

Arun also says in the vid that Osho loved his plants, and wouldn`t allow anyone to cut or trim them. Still, Osho looks puzzled by the sudden growth of this banana tree…

Tan, at 13.30 minutes, Arun says, “You know that Osho is a very arrogant person also, so he resigned; he said, “If you don`t want me to park my car, I don`t want to serve here anymore” –
so that was it, he left.”

And yes, Arun alleges the controversial story that Osho was really in love with a tree whilst in university:
“Whenever he got time, he would come and meet the tree, and hug the tree- they were in a strange relationship.

Whenever he got time he used to come, he didn`t meet any friend, in university faculty, he just used to sit under the tree, and meditate, or go back….”

Cheers!

SS,
At 13:30 mins. in this video, is Arun saying that Osho was arrogant?
And at the 19:00 mins., is Arun saying that Osho had a strange relationship with the tree?

Cheers!

George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in ‘Metaphors We Live By’ pretty much say all concepts that engage us can be traced back eventually to physical reality.

That’s a most interesting observation by the way, and serendipitously relates to reading I am doing at the moment relating to metaphors, which has really engaged my interest.

I reckon the concept of reincarnation has its roots in observing Nature’s cyclical patterns.

I find it odd in this long string that no-one mentions that reincarnation is a brilliant strategy by the mind to cancel out the overwhelming fear of death which most of us human beings have…so likely that it’s both its origin and its cancellation.

Face up to death without props seems to me to be the greatest spiritual advice.

I enjoyed the story about Osho and the snake.

I guess that the David Icke people and the conspiracy theorists would have been suspicious of the snake, but I suspect this is just undercover Christian conditionings.

As Arun points out, the snake has always been rather revered in India and Nepal.

Thanks, SS. Loved the video. But Arun is declared enlightened, isn’t it? Somebody sooooooo special…He brings Osho’s energy to everybody!

I am talking about people who don’t give a shit about spreading Osho’s word or energy! Even if they are grateful to Osho! XXX
