satyadeva commented on the post, Osho Through the Eyes of Gemini Chat AI – Nityaprem reports on and assesses an experiment, on the site sannyasnews 15 hours, 10 minutes ago
Of Osho’s words, yes, but I doubt very much whether the bot (or whatever it is) has ever experienced his presence…or exchanged letters with him…or travelled 6000 miles to be with him…or done one of his […]

During my explorations of good and evil, Nietzsche and Osho on Nietzsche, I found Gemini starting to give direct links into the Osho Online Library, directly to sections of the books. That impressed me, because it […]

So I thought I’d ask the Gemini AI what views it considered toxic…it gave the following reply (clever machine!):
Q: Are there any views which are considered toxic?
A: “Absolutely, there are views considered […]

It’s interesting that the AI seems to be somewhat judgmental towards some people, but not others. If you ask for a summary of Adolf Hitler’s views, for example, it describes them as “toxic” and “hateful”, while […]

In order to see what today’s hip professionals may find out about Osho, I thought I’d ask Google’s Gemini Chat Artificial Intelligence a few questions about his views. Chat AI’s […]

I wrote a response to Lokesh’s comment from the 22 March, 2024 at 7:27 am, he began with:
“Shanti, that sounds like cult-speak.”I replied with something like:
“Yes I know your perception of the […] -

I’m just reminded today that a lot of spirituality is about…
…deconditioning.
Time is great at this, if you take enough rest and peace and quiet, you end up forgetting all the rubbish and coming closer to a […]

I have a lot of experience of different forums, ranging from the uniformly well-behaved (eg Buddhist) to the highly variable (eg mental health, free-thinker) and the moderating approach is usually a result of the […]

Here’s an article from Surendra, one of the teachers at Ko Hsuan, who lives in Japan as a photographer, on “sexuality” at the school: https://www.oshonews.com/2016/09/06/osho-ko-hsuan-sexuality/

I did reply to you last night, VT, but today when I looked my comment had completely disappeared, and Lokesh deleted some comments yesterday so some of the comments ended up in the wrong order and also I noticed […]

I know about it from videos, interviews with people, and hearing it discussed. I just think boarding schools are a terrible abnegation of the idea of loving parenting. Not that the Ranch was much better.
The best […]

Gee whizz! It’s a smokescreen.

Veet Tom,
I have known a few people who were students at Ko Hsuan, and all appeared to have enjoyed the experience and none of them complained of abuse. I remember that one kid who was new there told me that […] -

That was vaguely amusing about Bhakti Marga, VeetTom. I ended up watching the whole thing, good for my German.
But I did note that when they were talking about the alleged sexual abuse they said the idea of […]

This sounds like an angry reaction from Lokesh.

Shanti writes, ‘On the path with Osho he can help you grow very quickly, dissolving into love and bliss with him.’
Is that so? You do not exactly come across like you are someone who is dissolving into love and […]

The irony is, Shanti, only a rebel can smile and say: “Yes, call me member of a cult!”

Shanti, that sounds like cult-speak.
There are many definitions of what represents being in a cult. Some of those definitions run along the line of a cult is a group or movement held together by a shared […]

Swamishanti said, “Yes, the story is funny and a scam…clearly has the involvement of some group or other.”
I don’t think you can call the Erin Robbins letter a scam. It was clearly heartfelt for her after she […]

That I would agree with, Swamishanti, and well stated. It was a gathering of like-minded individuals, spiritual seekers, around a modern Buddha.
Wikipedia states a cult is “a group which is typically led by a […]
