Oh ok.

I began to tune into your drift after I asked you.

I’ll go along with that.

Some needed to be physically and long-term close to Osho (for the transmission to take place) and some didn’t need to … and some others didn’t know how close they needed to be, and had to ask.

‘Each had his (or hers) measurement of distance that they needed to be from Him and if in doubt He would have told them’

A Sunday school teacher had just finished explaining about heaven. “Now,” she said, “hands up, all those children who want to go to heaven.”
All the children raised their hands except for little Hymie in the front row. “Don’t you want to go to
heaven, Hymie?” asked the teacher.
“I can’t,” said Hymie tearfully, “my mother told me to come straight home.”

I concur BV, though there is always room for ‘mistakes’ and infinite variation.
I wouldn’t say the koran is full of mistakes, but IS a mistake. The judgemental hate-filled ramblings of a psychotic, apart from the odd cherry-picked phrase to make it look like sufi mysticism. The old testament is an obscenity and the new a son of god revisionist fantasy. At least in India, these guys would have been just one amongst thousands of other nutjobs.

Osho:
“However transparent and clear your understanding may be, there is always a possibility to commit mistakes. And this has been recognized by the East.”

It reminds me of something I have read from him recently when he’s saying that there are all the other paths to lead one astray, but only one that leads to the truth.

That path is the path that leads inwards. As long as the inquiry is within there can be no mistakes

Each had his (or hers) measurement of distance that they needed to be from Him and if in doubt He would have told them … a bit like in a cinema where everybody sees the same film no matter where they sit … and the best seats are not always the ones at the front (which are generally occupied by children, more preoccupied with each other, than watching the show).

From today’s Daily Mail:
England footballer regrets taking laughing gas: “Manager set bad example!”

The Sunday Mirror stated the Tottenham right-back had inhaled nitrous oxide when out with friends over the summer, alongside photographs of Walker breathing out of a black balloon.

The 23-year-old, who played for England against Moldova on Friday and is in the squad to face Ukraine on Tuesday, wrote on his official Twitter page: “Apologies for not commenting sooner on a story about me today. I’ve been training and am focused on Tuesday’s game for England.

“I recently took sannyas and had been impressed by my Manager’s experiences while on the drug. Now I know the health risks, it was poor judgement on my part.”

“I won’t be doing this again and hope that no one else is influenced into putting their health at risk by my or my Manager’s actions.”

Don’t know what you’re talking about P. Reminds me of the incomparable stanley unwin.

Osho…”a Rebel against the false”. Seems in the end he needed to rebel against himself. The idea of ‘enlightenment’ as a cosmic sofa, where you have arrived, and can take your eye off the ball gets continually debunked.
