Again from Pari’s Book:
Osho had some kind of energy field round him… I don’t know anything about these things, but this was something you could definitely feel for yourself, but you had to get close to him physically to do so. In Tantra this is called the guru’s shakti, his energy; and its direct transmission from guru to disciple, shaktipat. That sounds very grand, but the things which started to happen to me were downright weird more than anything else. One time I started to shake. One hand was shaking so violently I had to hold it on the ground with the other one, and then that one started to shake too. (Osho was sufficiently sporting to pretend not to notice this bizarre performance, continuing without a hiccup in his Thus-Spake-Zarathustra mode.) The space around him seemed to be flickering slightly, or vibrating. Another time I remember looking at his chair, and the angle it made with the floor was mutually impossible – do you know what I mean, the lines failed to converge in the distance, the same way they can do on LSD? Something definitely happened to my eyesight. When he was talking to you Osho always fixed you with his eyes – and it was true, just like they say about hypnotists, they did grow bigger and bigger. So did his whole head. Bearded, bald and implacably merry it seemed to fill the whole porch.’
