Shantam Prem,
Could you tell me why it is “so heart touching to see young women and men choosing the difficult spiritual path”?
Since when have the nuns and monks of the world ever contributed much at all, […]

Is anyone surprised that Osho should so quickly find the Jains as limited ?
The tale is a lovely example of how he overcame his conditioning and background, and sought bravely to find a new way. He did it, and […]

I don’t know enough about Icke, but I’ve watched him on video a little. He’s impressive in his way, I sense he is like many others, who get very close to the truth, but who then can’t quite face the simplicity of […]

I recognise well the negative ego, as you call it.
I suffered as many older sanyassins seemed to; with an unloving childhood, with parents incapable of expressing much affection or support.As a result, I […]

Don’t we all have an ego, Arpana?
Of course, what the ego actually is and its purpose is a question that many are very confused about.
Spirtual types may be looking to get rid of theirs and the harder they try, […]

I scanned this dialogue between questioner and Osho, and then read more carefully the part where Maharishi speaks with Osho.
Fascinating stuff, in its way.
Osho is so transparent, clear in his analysis, whilst […]

The Rev notes, that all masters slag each other off to some degree or another, because each thinks ‘his’ way is the best.
Of course they occasionally reference that their competitor may be “enlightened”, but […]

Satyedeva,
As a part-time young pastor for the Metropolitan Police in the early 1980s I remember seeing a fair bit of you on the cctv at various ‘football events’.
Frank, Satydeva and the rest of the hardcore […]

Perhaps the negative affects of TM or any religious/spiritual teaching are symptomatic of types of individuals attracted to them in the first place?
After all, it is these ‘types’ who, for one reason or another, […]

As to the question of mantras, I’ve been reading Osho in this early booklet, ‘The Perfect Way’, where he advocates using any word you like to act as a mantra for meditation purposes.
Of course, at some point I […]

Yes, ignoring people doesn’t work,does it? When we have to interact, we must do so.Indeed we can learn from something from the most difficult of people and situations.
I have also found that there are […]

Lovely post Madhu, and good for you, putting Shantam in his place.
Some people are to be ignored, and it takes courage to let them go, to avoid them altogether. He is one of those.
Delight in letting the energy […]

Thanks, Parmartha.
If, as you say, it keeps people sleepy then it needs to be attacked. It is just promoting lethargy and dull acceptance.
By the way, I have got the copy of ‘The Perfect Way’, and if you can […] -

I am guessing you are referring to the millions who do just believe. And you are right therefore to examine the idea with your intelligence and questioning. Then the question has greater […]

Frank, as usual , you give a wonderful twist and comprehension to some old adages, myths and stories.
How the Buddha is both wise and stupid, wise because as you say, he said think for yourself; and stupid, […]

Frank,
You make a good point, it is not always “easy to celebrate another’s death and to wistfully ( not wishfully – this was my mispelling) look back on their lives with sentiment”.
We have all identified and […]

Thanks, Lokesh for writing about death, and offering your views and opening up the debate about this subject.
With so many areas to cover, even the Rev is confused as to where to start.
The simplistic notion of […]
