Interesting point there, Frank, re the “shame” of the Navajo poet. Realising his personal limits when confronted with the vast universe out there would be a way of getting his little ‘personal self’ in […]

P wrote, “Jayesh was a CE of a Canadian property company pre-sannyas, Savita was the head of an accountancy firm here in London, Hasya was something in Hollywood, the list could go on.
None of these people simply […] -

But it’s not about “holding onto a mental image” at all, it’s about understanding the damage that’s done to oneself (and others) and catching the moment when that stuff’s about to raise its ugly head…Otherwise, […]

No, it doesn’t, Frank, ‘pure’ is not part of ‘puritan’ at all (there’s no ‘e’ in ‘puritan’ or ‘simply’, is there?). As I suspected, you ‘simply’ can not see straight….

SD.
Substitute “simply” for “pure”?
That’s an excellent idea.
That changes ” puritan”
to “simpleton”.
I like it! -

I have not said anything at all that would indicate that I deny that emotions can be destructive.Those destructive elements…everyone will attempt, deliberately or instictively, to improve for themselves in […]

Use a bit of common sense, perhaps, Frank, and substitute ‘simply’ or ‘sheer’ for “pure”, as in ‘simply emotion’, or ‘sheer emotion’. Might be more useful than trying to attach a convenient label – “puritan” – to […]

Perhaps a major problem of human beings is that they insist on viewing their destructive emotions as valuable, important – as essential components of their self-created ‘identity’, in fact.
Why do you imagine the […]

Well, I’m not contesting the existence of emotions, Frank!! Why, I even recall ‘having a few’ myself – before I ‘saw the Light’, of course…But even you, surely, would find it difficult to deny that some are […]

Btw, Roman,
I actually backed Dylan once, too…
He came in last in the 3.30 at Newbury. -

Shame is the most mysterious emotion.
It’s possible to see how mutable to all the other factors of life, inner and outer impact, the basic emotions are.I would speculate that the “function” of shame is something […]

Country and western crazy wisdom!
Good lyrics! -

I don’t really know what you mean by “pure”.
I notice that you use the word “pure” a lot.Oscar Wilde said:
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
Now, there`s a statement guaranteed to seriously […] -

On first reading, I felt a bit uncomfortable, reminded of Ma Yoga Sudha’s introduction to the first edition of Osho’s ‘The Mustard Seed’, where she mentioned how she grew up with the crippling concept of God as a […]

Disgust and dissmell then are initially and essentially instinctive reactions of the organism then, Frank, part of our survival mechanism, rather than ‘pure’ emotions.
Agreed, interest is an ‘interesting’ one….

Vartan, could you please define what being ‘very close’ to Osho actually means in this case.

Good, well thought-out post. Reading it, I experience a sense of relief that I don’t have to be concerned about being excommunicated etc. I excommunicated myself from all that mumbo-jumbo years ago.
In many ways […] -
Kavita commented on the blog post Journalism in Sannyas 11 years, 6 months ago
Basically, what I get is that journalism for a writer is mostly an expression of the self & for a reader, it is getting to know the diversity of facts, whether it is in the sannyas world or even otherwise. […]

Matter of the fact is Sannyasnews is unparallelled in the world of Osho. All other websites simply hide behind Osho’s words. Their attitude radiates humble arrogance: “Everything is fine with us, problems lie in […]

You’re dead right, Roman, my memory tricked me re your Shakespeare on jealousy remark. How strange – I was convinced I’d got it right! Just shows, eh, how unreliable is memory – and how we recall as we’d like it […]
