So yes, definitely Christian mysticism.

Hmm, he mentions an inner reflection practice called The Ten Stations of the Cross, the Jesus prayer and a couple of books, ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’ and ‘The Way of the Pilgrim’, if that is of any help. It all […]

Yes, that’s right. This morning I was reading the story of a casual friend who is my age, so about 50, but he was brought up as a Catholic. He has a spiritual side so in his twenties he visited a Benedictine […]

Nice song, wamishanti. It carries the vibe of Osho very well.
In a way, what I wanted to say in the article is that Osho doesn’t stand on his own. In a way, he is a turning point, someone who reinterpreted all […]

Thanks for the kind words, Simond. Nityaprem means ‘eternal love’ and I’ve often wondered whether Osho saw that in me or whether he meant it as a pointer.
My life is humble, yet comfy. I won’t go into too much […]

So how do we see psychedelics in the context of spirituality? Osho was negative about it, but for many people in South America the Ayahuasca tea is central to their religion, and there have been scholars who have […]

Nityaprem commented on the post, The Quality of Sannyas News (Or: Was the Past Better?) by Satchit, on the site sannyasnews 6 months ago
I would say that the level of comments has everything to do with the general readership. Intelligent people like Klaus, SimonD and Dominic don’t stick around for long because there isn’t a crowd of people […]

Lokesh said, “To love one does not need marriage, but to love and meditate you need a certificate of Name Change.
Spiritual Scam of 20th Century.”So do you think controversy will draw viewers and commentators to […]

So we need to become extraordinarily ordinary? Or something even less sensical.
I saw that South Africa won the Rugby World Cup; there is heroism in sport, but where is your chance to catch the eye as being just […]

Well, he was talking about Pythagoras, and the ancient Greeks had some funny ideas about heroism.
Personally I always saw myself as vaguely heroic, I used to play Dungeons and Dragons when younger and that was […]

Lokesh said: “It is easy to say that when you have money and are not dying.”
I came across this…
“You can become very famous – it is very easy. You can have political power – it does not need much intelligence. […]

It seems to me that psychedelics often change what people consider important: look at the ‘flower power’ movement when lots of people took LSD and ended up going to India or taking a huge road trip or indulging in […]

It’s best to do what comes up in you and not to worry too much what others think.

I have mixed experiences with this. Once while my grandmother lay dying, in the spirit of non-seriousness I laughed loudly but got told off by other family members present for not being respectful to their […]

Watch out, Satchit! You are becoming more profound by the minute.
Totally agree about not taking life seriously.

I think the site needs its profound fools and its bards, both.

It puts me in mind of this quote from the incomparable Terence McKenna:
“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third storey window. Psychedelics are […]

Satyadeva said, “You can buy a “legal variety” of Ayahuasca in shops in the UK?!!”
I did a little research, and as recently as 2016 you could buy the Mexican herb Salvia Divinorum legally in the UK, from which […]

Thanks for the offer, Lokesh. I’ve never yet visited Ibiza but if I do I will definitely get in touch, it seems like a happening kind of place.
I was watching ‘How to Change Your Mind’ on Netflix, a short docu […]

Interesting cover, Lokesh! I had fun picking out a few of the famous figures, everybody from Sheela to Papaji to Jiddu K. But I think you’re spot on, SimonD’s ayahuasca voyage account is totally worth a prominent […]
