simond commented on the post, Can SN continue for another year? Appeal for funds!, on the site sannyasnews 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Hello to you all,
I’m sorry to hear that once again new money is needed to keep the site alive.
I have provided some funds in the past, and rather than keep silent and avoid the issue, I felt it necessary to […]

Dangerous to whom? You love to make these generalised statements implying you know what’s best for the rest of us.
I’d call that arrogant nonsense. Speak from your own understanding and stop quoting others, […] -

What the blazes does this statement mean?
“Too much control interferes with the dance of Being.”
What the hell is “the dance of Being”?
New age gooblegook?
Not unlike “I’d like to experience Ayahuasca sometime, […] -

“Why don’t you try some more drugs. MDMA, coke, smack…magic mushrooms?” asks Swamishanti (at the Caravanserai).
The answer is that I’ve tried each of these drugs in the past to one degree or another. I’ve no real […]

It’s a great question, I’m not fully certain of a complete answer.
You’re not alone in suggesting that I was choosing to be in more control in the second session, and like others I see your suggestion as meaning […]

Thank you, Nityaprem.
I wouldn’t necessarily say I chose to struggle, more that I chose to explore and reflect deeply on the experience rather than just go with it. There’s a difference. But thank you, I’d say it […]

Thank you, Lokesh, for your generous reply. Yes, it appears Anubodh is likely cautious himself regarding Ayahuasca, and therefore projects his caution on to me.
I wonder too if he read the article at all, as I […]

Dear Swami,
Is this unearned wisdom ? -

As usual up to your fine standards, Lokesh.
I’m hoping an article will shortly be published of interest to you. -

Sometimes I despair of sannyasins who laud the egoless, shaktipat nonsense of Osho, and then laugh at and mock the Christians who talk of Jesus as their saviour. Instead of focusing on their own lives, their own […]

I didn’t watch it but have read the odd review.
I’m sure much of what he says is true, regarding the long-term programme the USA has re Russia and how Ukraine is a stooge for their interest in encircling Russia. […]

I’m writing to the editor to have this blatant advertisement taken off this site. What have we become if we allow sordid, psychedelic literature on an otherwise Spiritual web site? And to advertise for free is […]

Great quotes Lokesh from the Man.
As you’ll already know I’m no Christian, but you’re right to consider and explore the meaning behind Jesus’s statements for the depth they carry.
The former one about turning […]

The key, I’d suggest, is not to deny the quote but to try and make sense of it. What’s remarkable is that it was never censored from the biblical texts, but there is another mystery. Of course there is always an […]

Perhaps a smiling non-being represents your own “father complex”. I doubt anyone to deny that Osho, as “wise” man or Master isn’t a symbol of the ideal father. And as the other great Master from the past is quoted […]

To say he is neurotic is a bit stupid, you suggest. However, you don’t explain why? Is it possible to have great insights, as he does, and yet be neurotic as well? Should we avoid speaking about the neuroses of […]

Hi Sat,
I’m not entirely sure what you may mean by looking for perfection in the personality of any teacher, or enlightened person.
No one is perfect, we are all on a journey, including those you may tag as […]

Watch his incessant and therefore neurotic blinking. His childlike giggling is hardly normal adult behaviour. You see, I make the judgment that enlightenment does not mean we should accept behaviour that is overly […]

Yes, I’m a little cruel about him. I know he has some profound understanding of the transcendental. This allows him to speak with an authority.
However, there are so many teachers who have some knowledge of the […]
