Well, it just depends on how much meditation you do. If you do lots you will “revolutionise the self” – I am sure the Old Boye would say “dissolve the self”, but anyway…
One dynamic won’t “revolutionise the […]

This is incorrect. ‘Mindfulness’ has become really popular. It is a process of giving attention to your thoughts, which is basically meditation.

Excellent archive of Osho music here, for those who do not know this site…

Well, I take your points, SD. My answer would be:
Things could have turned out a hell of a lot worse than they did.
There could have been a mass shoot-out with the FBI.
Some people at the top were so […] -

I have often thought he was aware of the very low quality of many of the leading sannyasins, and that he went into silence at Rajneeshpuram with the intention ‘to give them enough rope to hang themselves’, which […]

I have often thought that first generation sannyasins carried the suffering of the world wars with them.

I must say this has made my day. Now I am going to find the Daily Mail online and have a good laugh.

There were definitely compilations when Osho was alive. I remember three paperback volumes, Bhagwan A to H, I to P, Q to Z…or something like that.

I have often wondered if Osho adjusted his teaching to his audience…
You can use this to explain the nonsense about Hitler in ‘I am the Gate.’ In that book, Osho says that Hitler was a spiritual teacher who […]

It is an interesting question, isn’t it? If English discourses are rebellious and Hindi discourses are not rebellious, who is to say what the ‘real’ teaching is.
I have often wondered if Osho adjusted his […]

This did occur to me…
Maybe Hindi discourses are not as rebellious as English discourses. And maybe that is what Arun and Indians listen to. -

I should add, they don’t play much in the way of Osho videos at his camps. They don’t at the Humaniversity either. Perhaps the videos are too rebellious?
Osho used say the evening video at 7pm was the most […]

Actually his meditation “camps” are wonderful. I have done about three weekends with him. For the few who are interested in meditation, his camps provide the best opportunity to go deep into meditation in […]
