Not knowing enough of your point of view, for the reason I said above, I can only interpret some things and deduce others.

You start by saying that maybe OIF is not interested in SN because Big P “has not become a millionaire”, maybe because Big P would not be able to repay any copyright infringement (or charged of defamation).
But what is the relationship between managing a blog and becoming a millionaire, why did not you say “he is not a millionaire”?

After defending Big P with an “Excusatio non petita”, you turned the “accusatio manifesta” to that poor creep of Simond, who is not a true sannyasin (by name, like Frank?) and hates us all, to the point he wants this blog to end.

Because there is an “inner bond among the writers” that creep outsider like Simond can not understand. Proof of this is that the ‘spokesman’ of the anti-OIF faction personally meets Lokesh in Ibiza “after a battle of years here in SN”, fighting almost about the same topic, OIF.

So our sangha is a great, cheerless family with no internal enemies but only outsiders, for sure Simond with his Christianity is more dangerous than Sheela and his gang.

All this, for you, Tan, should minimize all quarrels mby putting on the same level love for money with love for Osho?
 
Try again, Tan.

Quite very right, Satchit.

Bavarian Late Autumn…Sky is dark now and it is late.

The ‘MAMMA PIZZA’ delivery service came for some digital neighbouring perpetrators just now; they had much to do today and are not so much into cooking themselves.

If they read you comment addressed to me, they will be very content.
If they read my response, they might have that roaring Bavarian laughter. Especially also the women of these family clans.

So all is fine; but not for everybody.

As far as the weather is (was) concerned and the beautiful river here I visited for a long walk, all is fine.

I answered to SN, Arpana. From what little I know about Gestalt, nothing is less neutral than putting the frame on reality. Let’s say that you and SD in your quarrels in the end do not ever disagree on which frame to use.

MOD:
NO ONE HERE KNOWS ABOUT SUCH THINGS, Arpana!

MOD:
TRANSLATION, PLEASE!

That´s amazing, as it just reminds me of one of my contributions -trying, long, long ago here. When I wrote: “sometimes I just see quite distorted love-letters here.” ”

Hi Madhu,

Certainly they love each other. Arps loves El Loco and El Loco loves Arps. SD loves Shantam and Shantam loves SD. What else should be the need of their communication? The quarrel of lovers is the renewal of love.

“As far as I am concerned, I´m left in a basement of total insecurity about whom I reach when – if at all – I am reaching anywhere and the open question, if that is a friend or at least a friendly receiver or if I reach an algorythm programming (?)…all of that. A stern teaching – as I said.”

I am not so much concerned in reaching somebody. It is not in my control. If someone feels reached, okay. I write more because of fun.

“Quite often I´ve been feeling wounded inside by attack responses addressed to me and there was no way (up to now) to communicate vulnerability in a way that both sides can have some profit out of that.

A virtual win-win. I´d love it.

You too?”

I would say one feels vulnerable if something is triggered in oneself. Difficult to check this out in a virtual chat – already difficult in real life.

“Wish to send to you all greetings from a golden, warm, sunny. clear and beautifully coloured autumn day, wherever you are situated just now.”

Thanks, to you too. Fine Indian summer.

OK, NOT U.G., BUT Jeffrey Archer! THANKS, Arpana.
