Osho is not wholly wrong when he says ‘unawareness’ is the problem. If people were more aware and sensitive to their inner nature – which is love and trust – they would not do these things which would harm […]

Sad story. I know a few sannyasins who have stayed together as couples. But as a rule they seem to spend some time in love and some time just pragmatically being together, and with some huge bust-ups.
But I think […]

One person’s cynical quip can be another person’s deep revelation. It just depends on whether you are open to it.
But certainly, not all conversations are worthwhile….

I always thought of Osho’s vision on relationships as “love first”, and quite realist although his jokes and anecdotes can read as cynical. I’m not an expert on love, but most human emotions don’t seem […]

I never made it to Dharamsala myself though I did see the Dalai Lama when he visited the Netherlands a few years ago, they hired a huge concert hall so that everyone who wanted to could attend.
But the role of […]

A good Osho quote is never wasted, surely? It has anecdotes and jokes and moments of wisdom that are relevant to the goings-on.

My point was rather that being factually accurate is a hang-up of modern thinking. While in fact it is an illusion, what the mind considers a fact is a shifting morass of sense and non-sense.
Osho was often […]

Well, Osho was also not always accurate or completely well-sourced, so perhaps I am in good company.

Arpana said: “I recall a number of individuals in Poona One becoming aware of an inner monologue because of meditation and being really freaked out by that awareness.”
I have meditated quite a bit over the years […]

It reminds me of Ramana Maharshi looking at the tumour on his arm and saying “does the tumour also not have a right to live?” As he refused surgery for the cancer.

“Self talk” is a cute way of putting it, not entirely familiar for me because I am one of those uncommon people who don’t have an inner monologue. It means certain things to do with the mind function differently […]

Arpana said: “Most guilt is a hangover from childhood, and parental or churchy injunctions.”
In those moments when you are really sensitive to your nature, don’t you find that there is kindness, gentleness and […]

Yeah, it’s all about where your bubble takes you…I remember I used to get all my music from listening to the radio and making mix-tapes, nowadays the temptation is to listen to what YouTube’s algorithm pulls up […]

I enjoyed it too, although I don’t think I have ever heard the original. David Bowie I guess? I currently have a three-month trial of Apple Music’s all-you-can-eat streaming service, I might look it up.

I reckon Jehovah’s Witnesses also know when to cut their losses and run. I saw on a docu that they have a role-playing process they do to train before they go out door-to-door, which explains why they left rather […]

“…does this preference extend to rationing your exposure to the news, especially on tv, well over 90% of which consists of the most negative events and situations (and where no doubt they’re currently really […]

Although it has to be said I am nearly an old fogey myself by this time, the grand age of 50 is creeping up on me. It has to be said the biggest difference I have noticed so far is that I can no longer read up […]

I do, yes, from time to time. I read the Eternals comic by Neil Gaiman not so long ago, and I enjoyed his Sandman series which Netflix is making into a live-action series. I’ve given up collecting them though, […]

Very interesting, Satyadeva, I’m not familiar with Byron Katie’s writings. It’s certainly one way to approach these things.
When I am passionate about something, it’s as if the words come more easily. There is a […]
