		<description><![CDATA[Still, I suppose at least we&#039;re getting a close-up view of a particularly nauseating character/personality type, an insight into how such people function, how uninterested they are in discussion, beyond expounding on how &#039;right&#039; they are and how &#039;wrong&#039; everyone else is. 

A sort of epitome of self-righteousness and a truly terrible advert for what I will pretentiously term &#039;contemporary spirituality&#039;.

A warning to all of the dangers of such righteous fanaticism, of how &#039;religion&#039; can attract and foster a certain type of mentality, of the connection between  a type of smug fundamentalism - even, ostensibly, of the Osho variety - and a sort of fascism.

And how its exponents are, shall we say, none too bright.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another example of  a thoroughly stupid, pointless post.
 
As usual, when lost, you fail to address the issues, falling back on your familiar resources: pseudo-laughter and a patently spurious self-claimed superiority.

Lack of intelligence rearing its head yet again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[that you have no time for things i stand for is irrelevent locoji - do you imagine you are the only person in the world and that your opinions mean something just because you are clever enough to dominate this little fishtank here ?
whats funny is observing the opinionated and nasty comments that you yourself regularly come up with - osho was a windbag? you are the windabag guru locoji  (ED: THE REST OF THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dhyanrage is certainly good at giving us a living definition of selfrighteousness incarnate. Does he have the word conceited tattoed or branded on his forehead?
Words definitely have power. I reckon the man is doing himself serious damage with all this nasty broadcasting he does. How could Swami rajneesh, who claims to be enlightened, condone one of his disciples displaying such undesirable human chareacteristics on a public website? Beats me. I&#039;ve said it before, I know, but just for any new readers. Dhyanrage is the worst possible kind of example one could imagine in terms of human development.

		<description><![CDATA[Dhyanraj, to hear you speaking about opening the heart is a joke. In my opinion you are a nasty and confused piece of work., Some time back Parmartha commented that having met us both he thought we would probably get along. I like Parmartha from what little I know of him but in this case he definitely made a severe error in judgement. Dhyanraj you basically stand for many things I have no time for, which would be okay if you had at least developed a sense of humor but all you seem intent on is developing your already well-developed nasty streak. A plague upon your ignorance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But you - most conveniently for your fundamentalist agenda - choose to ignore evidence to the contrary, of which there&#039;s plenty in this case, Lokesh often having made it clear how much he feels he owes to Osho. 

People like yourself, with a &#039;position&#039; to propagate and to defend, are invariably very uncomfortable with anything that might undermine what might be called their ideological stance on an issue or about a particular person. Their ability to tolerate ambiguity, &#039;shades of grey&#039; in any debate tends to be minimal.

Like you, they consider their particular outspoken style of speaking their &quot;truth in its raw form&quot; admirable, something to be proud of. Whereas in fact it&#039;s very often the mark of a lack of intelligence, which, from the evidence of many (but not all) of your posts, appears to be true in your case, DR.

These posts resemble those of any more or less brain-dead, know-it-all, fundamentalist bore,  &#039;sheikhing&#039; with rage much of the time - and often getting it hopelessly and laughably wrong...

If that&#039;s your &quot;truth in its raw form&quot; then you&#039;re sadly deluded. And the views thus expressed are to be regarded as highly suspect.]]></description>
