The reviewer cited by sannayasnews and Lokesh, in his blog, remarks, “The directors of the series seem afraid to play referee, and viewers pay the price.”
I couldn’t disagree more. I think the very strength of […]

Why, thank you, Rajni and Vartan. The second half of my interviews/talks are generally sharper than the first half – I’m a bit of a slow starter – but your feedback is appreciated.
The analogy of ‘the Matrix’ I […]

How about banging yourself, Frank? Can you do that?

A good piece up there by Lokesh. This closing paragraph is, I think, important:
“To close I will leave you with something by Osho, this is a sannyasin website after all. ‘This is one of the most essential things […]

Mooji is not bad. He seems to have an interesting background, apparently was something of a ‘street dude’ prior to having a big awakening. I like this talk of his here — very informal, where he opens up about his […]

Lokesh – in reply to your earlier question about Osho as ‘master of masters’, I had written it in quotation marks, indicating I meant it rhetorically. It was how Osho was marketed. The idea of a ‘master of […]

Lokesh, Osho may have been a ‘master of masters’, but he was also a master of representing/borrowing other people’s ideas, without question. To his credit, I don’t think he concealed that — he was what I call the […]

This is Frank’s legominism. He is transmitting wisdom from H.P. Kowalski’s Great Orange Brotherhood.

The problem with the sociologists’ attempt to assess ‘cults’ is that they are usually ignorant of the Oriental idea of ‘guru-yoga’ (best defined in the Tibetan teachings). Osho, at least up until the Ranch, worked […]

From the above opening piece posted by Parmartha, quoting Paritosh:
“What the people organising in the ashram did was say they were working to spread Osho’s ‘vision’ in the world – because that was the easiest […]

There is an irony in Tupe’s accusation that Osho was a CIA asset, given that Osho himself suspected CIA involvement in the ‘black magic attacks’ on him shortly before his passing. CIA — the new punching boy. […]

Couple of observations not directly related to this thread:
1. Sam’s book (Life of Osho) seems to be no longer available online. A note with Russian words appears, indicating that the ‘account had been […]

I think the only thing of note in this is that it reveals something of Osho’s character, namely, that he had a pragmatic, business-like side to him.
Clearly, Jayesh was no ‘heart-disciple’ of Osho’s (to use a […]

The linked YouTube of the audio interview with God-dieux posted by Chetna above is extremely funny, encourage all to listen to it. Think high camp comedy crossed with the modern ‘spiritual’ trip. As a Canadian […]

The whole idea of the ‘higher calling’ — and realizing it — is ancient and has been defined by many wisdom traditions. The basis of it is some form of meditation (or related inner-work methods).
We can’t […]

ps SD — as for ‘Frank’s merciless satire’ — it’s one of the reasons I keep coming back here! (Every therapist needs his entertainment). Frank is a bit like Will Somers, the court jester for Henry VIII — he was […]

SD — ‘transpersonal therapy’ basically means therapy within a spiritual context. Or, put more simply, therapy for those interested in meditation, or other ‘inner work’ practices. The main idea is that traditional […]

As for your other —

Stick with it. It’s movie-script material, perhaps find an agent.
And speaking of book reviews, some amusing reviews of my most recent book here (I especially like ‘a self-improvement manual for the […]
