…. . . . one day , after enjoying so many delicious brews & ideas , her taste buds became numb & all her ideas vanished , so finally she along with her beloved made a tree house without any locks , on that very big old tree , which was surrounded by many tea gardens , so they didn’t need that trolley anymore , now she & her beloved sipped tea at their leisure , ever after !

Ahh that must be the old Sufi story of the Key , the Tea, and the Shopping trolley…

Once upon a time, long ago, there lived a girl who through no fault of her own wondered how long and how often . Many times during the day she could be found drinking tea under a big old tree wondering. How many and mostly were her favourite thoughts. In fact she liked anything that could be enjoyed, particularly delicious tea and well brewed delicious ideas.
Anyway, one day…..

My last comment on this thread.
People can chew the books and all the words, as far as reality is concerned, May be Osho has left during his last hours; one simple commandment.

Jayesh will decide, you may follow!

Something grim occurred for me last year.
I’ve been saying the same thing.

‘Why not me?’

Another way of looking at what one might term ‘personal burdens’ (“Why me?”) that I’ve at times found useful is to ask,”Well, why not me?”

After all, presumably someone has to take that particular load, don’t they?!

“How do I collate it when somebody says, “Why would I choose to be the ninth child to a family that didn’t want me?” (I have been confronted by this dilemma twice recently).”

Maybe the only answer is to find out who this “I” is who allegedly did the choosing? (Almost certainly not the “I” that asked the above question!).

Are these two people prepared to wait – maybe a lifetime or more – for the answer?

Or are they willing to make the effort to find out for themselves?

shantam prem says:
>> If you have any kind of spiritual deviation, follow my simple suggestion-

I don’t think you have a clear understanding of the term ‘spiritual deviation’. It doesn’t always mean what it says. It can be something as simple as looking for divinity in patterns (that might not even exist) or as complex as deviant sexuality.

>> 10) Choose to be born and and take portable notes with you on where you were before you got here, so that it all fits.

I have always followed this commandment (and have even gone as far a to say that we choose the parents we are born to) and it works for me and for 99.999% of the ppl I have applied it to … but … How do I collate it when somebody says, “Why would I choose to be the ninth child to a family that didn’t want me?” (I have been confronted by this dilemma twice recently.)

There is no ‘media’, just propaganda by the elite. There is no ‘opposition’ either. It’s all ‘manufactured’ to stop us from looking where we are not meant to be looking.

In ancient greece there was no word for art (media). Art in greek is techni, the techn-ology of manipulating emotions. What we see as art in ancient greece, were works commissioned by the elite to assert their (social) position.

Lokesh says:
>> Even soldiers who have killed in the line of duty often have a job coming to terms with what they have done.

‘Offensive killing’ differs from ‘defensive killing’ and the psychology of each differs too.

… and there is also ‘revenge killing’ which psychologically is also justifiable. It’s all armchair philosophy.
