Videotape is very useful and allows us to watch recordings and photo compilations of Osho.

But it is a new invention and previously there were no techniques available to record any masters except for the written scriptures of disciples, the disciples of the disciples, and before that the songs or the ‘gitas’ that carried the messages and the vibration.

Watched it (at least the bits where Osho speaks). An interesting collection.

Is the video available where master chastises the disciples for clapping?

Predictably robotic gratuitous drivel from you, Master Shantam, again indicating the right spot has been well and truly hit (although you’d never admit to it, of course, especially not to yourself).

Shantam.

Why are you being so rude and aggressive towards SD?

Not as if he said anything about you that wasn’t true.

Never discuss anything with someone who is needy to bow before any Tom, Dick, Marry with the tag of Avatara and Enlightened, and arrogant enough to play superior before everyone else.
Instead of feeling wow, I feel repulsed by phoney wisdom.

Hey, it looks like the vid is up again. Maybe OFI had a change of heart. Or maybe they were put under some kind of pressure (from the Sannyas liberation martyrs brigade – also known as the ‘peanut butter gang’).

“Hmm…I can see poisonous mixtures in the tea…lots of homeless people dressed in red.
Ah, injections for the doctor…a secret tunnel under the house of the bearded man – but the caretaker survives.
Aha! You gain 50 million in gold and run away from the desert.
Wait – prison!
Later in life you run the nursing home.”

Big P,
I`ve seen it somewhere online before, can`t remember where. The pictures of the Ranch posted by Ivan reminded me and so I googled google images: ‘Sheela has her fortune told’, and it was the first pic up.

Putting my Parmartha Conan Doyle hat on, I notice the palm-reader has got a wristband on – so I suspect it took place at a festival/event of some sort (unless she had just escaped from hospital).

Popped into my mind that it may have been one of the ‘esoteric tents’ on the Ranch during the festivals where you could have a reading for $5. I had mine done, cos I couldn`t afford much else apart from the odd chocolate-chip cookie.

I was probably suffering from poverty consciousness or making up for being Napoleon or an Atlantean Pharaoh in my past lives….

Interesting pic, Frank! Never seen it before and I’ve been around the block with Sannyas pictures a few times!

Did you ‘create’ it?! Or maybe you tell us where you got it?

Looks almost as if Sheela is not wearing a mala?

You’re not “sure” at all, Shantam, you’ve convinced yourself you are so you think you are, because it suits your personal political agenda.

With this agenda you’ve also convinced yourself you’re some sort of great crusader for truth and justice, but all you’re doing is simply attempting to make others ‘wrong’, to make them responsible for your personal dissatisfaction, disillusionment, unhappiness.

Thus, you’ve constructed a convenient set of beliefs in order to somehow make sense of your life, give it a sense of purpose otherwise lacking. Nothing ‘spiritual’ about this at all, because the roots of your chronic discontent remain, for you, too close to the bone, too much for you to honestly examine and be responsible for. Far easier to shift blame on to others, to make your life one long, dreary litany of complaint and accusation.

It’s this basic ongoing dishonesty that I find so tedious and uninspiring (as, I’d hazard, do other readers); this stubborn, almost bovinely wilful unintelligence, about as far away from the spirit and ‘being’ of Sannyas as one can get.
