It’ll come to me…it will have something to do with sex…or maybe fart jokes, any parable can be turned into a fart joke.

Turning the other cheek is obviously to do with buttocks….

I must be the exception, I’ve never found Jesus particularly profound compared to Krishnamurti or Nisargadatta or Osho. But then I wasn’t brought up in a Christian environment; your background matters a lot in […]

It’s always nice to chat with those who know Osho…big hug to you, Kavita!
It is funny, I was just reading Simond’s description that in Osho he saw a kind of father figure. For me, Osho was not that, because I […]

“Closer to timelessness”, I like that. Do you think us timeless sannyasins still have something to offer the world? Osho said to live your life with creativity, intelligence, meditation…maybe we should just try to […]

Two and a half years is a long time to be bedridden. It must have been difficult, thank you for telling us the history.
My uncle Arjen who died most recently went through two years when his cancer diagnosis […]

I’m currently helping to care for an elderly sannyasin with Alzheimer’s, which makes travel a little difficult, but I manage to take a short break once in a while. My father is luckily still in good shape, […]

It’s odd, I’m meeting a lot of people who are not into books! All the women in my life…I find so much in reading books, the long-form means people formulate their ideas with more care, compared to a blog or […]

For example, he talks about treating a patient with a heavy “pain body” and then leaving a cloud of that behind in an office.

Hi Kavita, nice to see you around!
I just wanted to say I’ve always enjoyed Eckhart Tolle, he comes across to me as a very genuine and very gentle teacher. I do have some doubts about some of his more out-there […]

Do you know Maslow’s pyramid? It has the basic needs such as food, shelter and sex at the bottom, and self-realisation at the top. It basically proposes that as you gain the basics of life you start thinking about […]

I think there is room for a psychedelic spirituality. I have been reading ‘Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experience’ by William Richards, and found his ideas of a future where psychedelics are […]

I basically came to Osho twice, once as a child and once as a forty-year old man after a long absence. The first time I met him I was following my parents, the second time it was following what I remembered from […]

You know, I don’t think Sannyas was purposeless. It gave a different impulse to spirituality in the West, which still persists in places like the new age, hippy communities, spiritual festivals and so on.

I think the point is more that love is the purpose, and the more you love, whether it is stones, life or people, the more fulfilled you will be.

Thanks Lokesh, it was interesting. It would have been nice of Nisargadatta to just complete the teaching, but maybe that would have been too easy.
In som aspects witnessing is similar to mindfulness, which the […]

Right, witnessing without judgment as a knack.
Nisargadatta once said that talking about just witnessing was an incomplete teaching. Another interesting tidbit.
