Maitreya describes his own process of enlightenment as below, some might say it sounds like a tall story, others that it feels like the real thing.
“Quest for truth began in 1971. On 1 January 1991, after a […]

I know that people as far apart as Lokesh and Shantam feel that the Sheela story is just so much old hat and should be buried in the Sahara of history.
I disagree, I don’t feel lessons have been learned about it […] -

I agree Satyadeva. These people were very lucky and could have gone to prison for much longer periods.
I am sure Ava was “clever”, as many said at the end of the Ranch, by turning state’s evidence.
She ensured […] -

Just so readers know the full story about Ava I detail verbatim what she said to the Grand Jury in late 1985, and as can be seen through the records (placed after 25 years by the Oregonian newspaper on the […]

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a difficult diagnosis and professionals often disagree about it.
Sadly UK Courts also disagree and mistrust the diagnosis, and throw out some who have “suffered” torture and […] -

Frankie I was a commune sannyasin at the time, I actually thought that the residents of Antelope were being very badly treated from whenever S wanted to take them over and said so. That may explain why me and […]

Many generations make the same mistakes as their forbears. Tyranny seems to pop up all over. The study of history keeps free men from becoming sleepy. Of course it involves some intellectual “work” and sadly many […]

Pagan, thanks.
Ava was a close friend of Sheela in particular. I would think the main point of her testimony was to open up the possibility for the Court that Sheela and gang, including Ava, were like Eichmann, […] -

Ava was much younger than the other 38 conspirators that Sheela formed in the Spring of 1985. (Around 20 years of age). A Court case had gone against the Ranch at that time, (the Helen Burns case, cant remember […]

Like Lokesh and others here, now in their sixties and beyond, okay we made a contribution and helped build the ashram, etc. However, what I learned there to carry beyond that place, was one carries on finding […]

Well Shantam you raise without knowing it a moot point.
When asked how he would have responded to the ashram as a former seeker Osho always said he would have avoided the ashram as it was then, like the plague. […] -

Another is I ike to annoy ‘politicos’ like Shantam.
Another is I like to tease out things, and that way see something a different way through someone else’s contribution or reply.
I sure am in favour of discussion, I like Popper’s defintions of it better that the Krishnamurti stuff.…[Read more] -

Posting for Jayananada
I think it very worth while to represent my experience of the events from 79 to 1985 which I witnessed. I don’t believe it is the only story as Osho had a lot of different stories going […]

Teertha I am open to discussion but I always took energetic as a word I use in English for Shaktipat in Sanskrit.
Shaktipat refers in Hinduism to the conferring of spiritual “energy” by one person on another. […] -

Many dictators small and large use this ploy – kill or be killed. Very common now in African conflicts. I come across in my professional work people who were even as children given such an ultimatum.

Parmartha commented on the post, The Art of Lying, on the site sannyasnews 11 years, 10 months ago
To me the issue is whether seekers lie to themselves. Masters like Osho need to wake disciples up to that. That’s what the encounter groups were about at their best, and what Osho was up to sometimes at darshan, […]
