		<description><![CDATA[&quot;If you want your computer to work well, you have to delete unnecessary add-ons!&quot; (Frank).

To be in control, Frank, about ´add-ons´, or to be in control about deleting or not deleting, is a delusion re my experience about the character of a non-organic machine.

		<description><![CDATA[Doing exercise before meditating is Osho`s (and sannyasins`) contribution par excellence.

It`s good to publicise that mindfulness is best done after swimming, dancing, running, sex etc. etc.

Trouble with formalised meditation is that the participants don`t just get the message but, through peer pressure, that they naturally become reluctant to question, end up believing stuff like Right-wing nationalist politicians are &quot;Zorba the Buddha&quot;, various deluded folks are &quot;bodhisattvas&quot;, &quot;Enlightened&quot;, yogic fairytales and chakras are &quot;scientific&quot;, they were very important people in their past lives and all the rest of it.

If you want your computer to work well, you have to delete unnecessary add-ons!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the sense of duty to that of responsibility, if the heart is not a cold piece of glass that just has to reflect.

If any human activity, including that involved in the expression of compassion, is susceptible to egocentricity, the solution can not be castration of one&#039;s own feelings.

The ego of a castrate is still such, an ego.

		<description><![CDATA[@Tan 5 September, 2017 at 11:07 am

&quot;If you have something, if you have the taste of meditation in you, it will be shared, no matter if you want to share it or not. You are not the owner of it.&quot;


&#039;Serving Like The Mountain Stream&#039;
by Allan Watts (Aug 15, 2006)

&quot;I was taught when I was a little boy that it was good to be unselfish and loving, and I used to think that I should grow up to serve other people. But after a while I found out that unless one has something to give people, there is nothing one can do to help them. Just because I thought I ought to help, it didn&#039;t mean that I had anything to give.

Gradually, over the years, as I understood what it was that I had received of significance from the world, I realized that these things were never intended as gifts to be given in the usual sense of the word. However much one enjoys the song of birds, they are not singing for the advancement of music, and the clouds are not floating across the sky to be painted by artists.

In the words of a Zen poem: The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection; The water has no mind to retain their image.

When a mountain stream flows out of a spring beside the road, and a thirsty traveler comes along and drinks deeply, the traveller is welcome. But the mountain stream is not waiting with the intention of refreshing thirsty travellers; it is just bubbling forth, and the travellers are always welcome to help themselves. So in exactly that sense I offer my ideas.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Bong,

I am having a few issues with this Faraday cage thingy, which your earlier post persuaded me to buy.

Once inside (and the dial on the control panel turned up to 11) I can feel a pristine silence gently descending and can see a window through Spacetime opening where thoughts stored in the &#039;Akashic Record&#039; can be viewed. Just like you imagined.

But the problem is the only thoughts I can see are: &quot;I&#039;m hungry&quot; and &quot;Finally! I have silenced my chattering mind&quot;. 

How do I access the more interesting stuff? Like Osho&#039;s thoughts on Sheela or his thoughts on how long it would take for the infighting to begin once he was dead? 

Do I need to buy a special subscription for the premium channels?

Any guidance would be much appreciated, else it looks like the full 14 day money back guarantee will soon be called into action.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Re &quot;first insert coins and engage yourself in meditation&quot;

Ah, yes.
The West is so up there when it comes to machinery.

I  heard that when Shantam first arrived in Germany he would wander around the streets all day, transfixed by all the mind-boggling technology he had never witnessed before.

After a few days, he spied a situation that really piqued his interest. He observed carefully as a procession of  well-dressed men would approach a type of coin-operated machine that Shantam had not come across before. 

The men would appear to fumble with their flies, then press their pelvis tight against the machine, before inserting a couple of D marks.

The machine then shook, rattled and hummed for a while, and when it stopped, the gentlemen would then, with an extremely contented look on their faces, pull away from the machine, fasten their flies, then walk away whistling happily.

Amazed by the way that these shamelessly liberated  westerners carried on in broad daylight, Shantam stood and watched as customer after customer used the machine, all walking away fastening their flies with a smile and a whistle.

Unable to control himself any longer, Shantam rushed up to the machine, pulled his dick out of his trousers and stuck it in the machine and hurriedly inserted a couple of deutschmarks...

&quot;Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!&quot;
He had never felt such pain in his life...
Shantam pulled his dick out of  the machine and to his horror…
There was a fly-button sewn on the end of it.]]></description>
