I think Osho is saying there’s no life after death in the sense of a new, perhaps ‘ideal’, world where we end up, pretty well as we were in our lifetime (if we’ve been ‘good enough’, say the Christians) – the […]

Anubodh, it’s not a question of “denigrating science”, rather a matter of recognising its limitations in terms of verifying our subjective experience. (the analogy of Wenger failing to win the Champions League is […]

Great video, Anubodh, thanks. I’ve sent it to an old friend (going back to school days) with whom I’ve always avoided mentioning my ‘spiritual side’. Hoping for a ‘breakthrough’…

But Science is surely out of […]

No, Arps, not really, apart from a handful of readings over the decades.

Thank you, Veet, for telling me who I am, the anxiety of not knowing was beginning to really get to me.

Thanks, too, for keeping out of my way – your compassion knows no bounds, obviously.

Veet, perhaps you need to remember that “100% formal logical rigour” isn’t necessarily appropriate in all cases. Reflecting a little, for instance, on life, love and laughter, intuition, poetry and meditation, you […]

As you seem to inply here, Frank, ‘real’, in-depth psychological astrology works, even if ‘the map’ doesn’t exactly correspond to the external reality science has discovered. In fact it’s worked very well indeed […]

I think you’re right, Anubodh, we tended to take it for granted, it was so much part of the times.

Yes, Frank, I agree that, as commonly understood and presented, eg ‘fortune-telling’ etc., “astrology is largely nonsense.” However, from personal experience, notably the Liz Greene reading I mentioned a few days […]

Thanks, Anubodh, that’s surely the 113th method, isn’t it? Lucky chap indeed, sir!

Also, re “I have no answer but if I get the temptation of being enlightened myself…” – what a strange thing to say, “temptation”?! Perhaps you meant something else?

As BL once said to me when I asked him, quite […]

Shantam, I had an excellent private 90 mins. session (recorded on tape as well) with Liz Greene in London, many years ago. Her depth of perception in studying my birth chart was most impressive and convinced me of […]

So what’s the problem with taking Osho’s “reliable” version, Shantam? According to that, what is your understanding?

If you can’t (or won’t) provide an answer then your question is pointless and any proposed […]

That’s not an answer to my question, Shantam, which is:
What do you understand by “enlightenment or beyond enlightenment”?

In other words, in what context are you assessing a capacity for self-deception or self-delusion?

Arps, sorry, I have no time, I’ll soon be out until lateish.

It’s all at the link, Arps (my post, 11.40am).

Ah, yes, “negative capability” – the world could do with a lot more of that…Takes me back to those highly stimulating Eng. Lit. classes. Good to know your expensive education wasn’t totally wasted, […]

What do you understand by “enlightenment or beyond enlightenment”, Shantam?

You’re a throwback, Frank, to the glorious days of the modest, mild-mannered English hero. You know, think Stanley Matthews, Billy Wright, Denis Compton, Peter May, the Bedser twins – and, of course, the greatest […]
