There’s a moose in the hoose.

I’ve never visited Egypt, but have often thought about it. You do not need to travel to Peru to participate in a ayahuasca retreat with authentic shamans. You can do that in Europe. I have a good friend whom I […]

What’s the problem, Lokesh?

If NP acts from inner silence, then he is blessed.
If not, he can only cheat himself.

The idea to die consciously can easily be an ego-trip in the spiritual scene.

I’m considering a holiday sometime in the future. I could go to Egypt, and do a 12-day tour including the Pyramids of Giza, the museum of antiquities in Cairo, a Nile cruise of several days, a visit to the Temple […]

NP writes, “The fact remains, my mind is almost always silent, there is no voice except when ‘I’ speak, and there is no dialogue.”
It would seem that he is missing the point entirely. His claim that he does not […]

I’ve noticed this before, that if you make this claim some people do not believe you. Which is fine – I don’t care.

The fact remains, my mind is almost always silent, there is no voice except when ‘I’ speak, […]

On the subject of being special. I recently talked to a therapist, who over the years had met several sannyasins who had been kids, growing up in the Osho communes. A number of them believed they were special […]

If you say so

That’s just normal, NP, nothing special.

I do sometimes revise, but I usually do it externally. When I look at what I’ve written and I am not happy with it, I’ll make an adjustment to how I see things and then “talk” again.

Haha, you guys are funny.

Stuff just comes out of my mind. Thinking happens, but there is no voice. Even when I choose to talk on a subject, I arrange my mind just so and say to it “talk” and then words come out.

I wanted to talk a little about dying. Say you had had a stroke and were lying in hospital, and you were reasonably lucid but seriously impaired in bodily function, where would you draw the line in terms of what […]

Exactly, SD, it’s blatantly obvious that NP is not void of inner dialogue, based on what he has written in his past posts on SN. No doubt NP is now busy with his appointment with the otolaryngologist to see if […]

Are you sure you experience no inner dialogue, NP? What was happening, for instance, when you were constantly reconsidering and revising your view on Osho, in the light of the revelations of sexual abuse of girls […]

NP is correct when he writes that there are people who do not bear host to inner dialogue. He goes on to claim that he is one of those people, which, considering his many posts that describe what he is thinking, […]

No inner dialogue?
Sounds very enlightened.

Neurodivergence is about people who have atypical brains. So people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, but also milder conditions like ADHD or autism, or even something like not having an inner dialogue […]

What’s ‘neurodivergence’, NP (never heard of it before)?

It’s interesting how pervasive politics has become in the US. I was reading a discussion between Buddhist friends, one American and one New Zealander, and it made me aware of how certain topics were getting […]
