I enjoy your playful light-hearted bringing a Being into play , Anand Anubodh – not only ´cause he stuck His tongue out so nicely and in particlular even though , we women came to know, that He didn´t treat His […]

No Arpana ( yesterday at 4.26 pm): that was not said just to you, but for everybody, who dared to be present, and to listen , I suggest.
Thanks, for bringing that up here. You made a point !

Satchit,

Please don’t blame me for you satisfying Einstein’s equation.

“You gotta make way for the Homo Superior”
(David Bowie, ‘Oh, You Pretty Things’, Chapter 1, Verse 3).

Thank you, Frankie, now that brings in a lot more clarity for me!

You missed it, Anubodh.

With this sentence I was just joking.

Do you think I believe because two spiritual fools from the West and the East meet and rub their noses, something will change in the world?

Found it! Will make a point of sitting at ‘his’ table at the cafe, in about a month from now…

Satchit,

“Maybe it gives hope to the world that the New Man is coming soon.” These were your words.

And therein lies the problem: As soon as such a man announces himself, a little smarty will get cute and try to […]

Lucky you. Nice neck o` the woods.
You could ask down at the local “cave”, they would be sure to know him there!

Happy teenage memories at the Orange Sunshine OF Home, for me!

This was a good […]

Hi Anubodh,

Teal Swan on Christmas morning? This is not totally impossible. Is she not an alien from Arcturus? For an alien everything is possible.

So you are the New Man? Fine for you.

Reminds me of the […]

Not that I recall…

Btw, interestingly (for me, at least) I see that Kevin Ayers died (and presumably, lived) in Montolieu, a village in sw France, which happens to be where I’ve spent a lot of time over the […]

Did Osho think his sannyasins would one day enter politics? –

Now Iam wondering if New man is/was a dangling carrot for the politically inclined!

Hello Satchit,

I’m not sure whether to be amused or disappointed that you have associated someone you now know to be a ‘sceptic’ with having a ‘past life’. But, let’s let that one go.

I am as sceptical about the […]

SD, He had his moments, for sure.
You must`ve heard this one:

Why are you shouting for the New man, Lokesh?

The New man is not somebody else – you are the New man.

So the question is: What can you do that Gaia can survive?

Enjoyed that, thanks, Frank. KA passed me by, I’m afraid, but, thanks to youtube…

This one too: https://youtu.be/7DPqfcN9eSY

“Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of an Übermensch (‘Overman’) was that of a New Man who would be a leader by example to humanity through an existentialist will to power that was vitalist and […]

I always thought that ”new man” stuff was Osho playing on our perfectionist trips; especially as he so often said, you are enough as you are; or maybe he was just saying that to me.
┐(‘～`；)┌ ✌

There`s also the Kevin Ayers version which could have some historical and philosophical significance, too:

Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes
By Kevin Ayers

I walked into this bar
And the man refused;
He said, “We […]

“Our” version is probably mostly the Nietzschean version descended via Mr G, Ouspensky and then Osho.
