I remember once visiting Community. I was in the waiting room and Somendra waltzed in, wearing a broad-brimmed hat. I thought, “What an idiot.”
I never did much therapy, a day here, a session there, a weekend […]

@ SD, well, it would depend on the person. I probably would not recommend anything unless explicitly asked, which I do not think has ever happened.

“I’d suggest finding a therapist they can trust who can work with them one-on-one and support them long-term, for as long as it takes…
Amadis, for example, who contributed an article here fairly recently….” […] -

@ SD, both really. But I think no one really wants to know. A couple of reasons for this:
First. people have an ego investment in thinking they are members of a ‘loving, spiritual movement’.
And second, I […]

@SD, I was asking about the general problem of evil, rather than saying any particular therapy is evil. I do think some therapies were/are evil. I disagree with you that I should not talk about such things unless […]

Well, maybe, but I was bringing up the question of gullibility amongst sannyasins. I used the Ranch as an illustration. I think the tabloid press sometimes does a good job in exposing evil. Do you think evil […]

The frequency of the surname Lowen is 12 per million in the UK.
And how many of these would be A.Lowen? Well, there are 26 letters in the alphabet, […]

I bought a copy on DVD. It is quite good quality on DVD. It is a lovely film, isn’t it?

SD said, “canadafollower, it’s very easy to make general claims, accusations of “fraud” against a group of people, or even “some” of a group, but unless you provide evidence, including names, then it just remains […]

Very good points, SD.
As far as I know, participants were hardly vetted at all in London. Maybe things were a bit better in Pune.

Dr. Alexander Lowen, 1910-2008, was a leading American psychotherapist and the founder of bioenergetics. He was a qualified doctor and the author of more than a dozen books including ‘The Language of the Body’ […]

I thought Lowen was a bit disingenuous when he said Osho ran away from the Ranch. There was an agreement that he would present himself to the authorities if an arrest warrant was issued.
He “ran away” because […]

“….We learn techniques to make us more efficient. This neutered, apolitical approach is to help us personally – it has nothing to say on the structural difficulties that we live with. It lets go of the idea that […]

This is really a stupid article. Mindfulness is, amongst other things, giving the mind a rest. Then when you use it again, it works better.

Beautiful people from the Homeoflife site. They had a big site with lots of Osho videos until recently. They are from Palestine. Unfortunately I cannot get facebook to translate the Arabic.
