Thanks, I appreciate your sincerity. But do not forget to do the homework that I assigned you, the same, for the fourth time.

Just a little exercise and between us there will be no language barriers, where to hide lack of assertiveness.

Are you kidding?

Weren’t you who have commented below the Osho discourse on the next page? Did you write that stuff without listening to what He said about the waitress, excellent cutter of heads but with hostile attitude? Do you not remember about the waitress and her Inferno, despite Bhagwan? Ah, ok “bullying” maybe is too much…

“Christ, but this event shattered me.
I felt like a ghost. That I was not corporeal for weeks afterwards. Really freaky; and then I gradually became aware of a sense of myself as a sannyasin.” (Arpana)

“Who was living “in the world”, as he put it, and not in communes etc., that there was a spirit of celebration amongst street sannyasins in London on That Day!” (Parmartha)

Yes, actually I have to thank some of you because you are helping to bring out the fierce side of my temper. I said “side” but I would not lecture you about anthropology.

For example, according to your grammar school class, which side of me do you think might come out if, after the third attempt to get a clarification from you about the at least ambiguous things you’ve written, commenting on my hypothesis of your lack of assertiveness, you answer me with another question and give to me an etiquette lesson?

It was due to his fierce temperament that Osho gave the mission as heads cutter to Sheila? Or she was missing the love that would have made her assertive? Consequently, Arpana, can you, me or anybody else “be loving” without being assertive?

But if I scare you I can get out of the forum, leaving you alone in the Cleansing of the Temple, using all the implied assertiveness of your perfect grammar school class running after the baboons.

In this mission, perhaps you will not have on your side any support from martial Teutonic accent people, though they are so good at setting the rules for the others, like Greeks and Berluscones (a little less in their own home, e.g. Siemens & Volkswagen).

No, ‘expelling the merchants’ is not the best of Angela Dorothea’s ‘people’ but I love Germany…to the point that I would like to have two.

I am sure you would agree that if I spoke Italian as a second language, there are nuances of meaning which are not available to me in the same way as when Italian-born individuals, especially of a similar class, speak to each other.

In just the same way, Reverend Simond and I are both English, of a certain class, likely both ex-grammar school, and there is something going on between us that you’re not going to get hold of, given English is not your primary language.

Given the way you can go off into abusive tirades, and have, I am getting the impression (correct me if I am wrong) of a fierce temper. I’m not entirely convinced you should be lecturing anyone here, apart from Shantam, about how to be loving, or when to be loving, or to whom to be loving.

So, my comment on the way you relate with Simond is about that.

Naturally, between you and a hostile waitress there are many degrees of baboon separation, but there remains the lack of assertiveness.

But if it was there, as in your “oh!” and “hmm!”, and I have not noticed it, I am ready to apologise, as soon as you are able to show it.

Hmm.! (Strokes chin thoughtfully.)
