This ‘either…or’ thing isn’t part of my understanding. For me, learning is the understanding of our self. So, enlightenment is understanding or ability to learn from truth itself.

The poppy fields are certainly an important source of income for the Afghan farmers. I don`t say it`s right or wrong. But can a society function with little or no violence? Will non-violence ever be one of the highest values? Along with enlightenment and peace.

Do you know who it was first selling heroin? It is the German chemical concern ‘Bayer’ in 1898.

Seems that still with each gram of heroin the same 1% gang earns money for their decadent lives too.

Who has more right in being bad – poor or rich?

You can such tell to the guys here, Tan, claiming to be ´naive´- but not to me.
However, “that you didn´t miss Osho”, as you say, is out of question.
You did it ‘your way’, unique, and as anybody else, who had/has/took/takes the chance.

And the very moment any comparison re ´meeting or missing´ falls apart, we could share what we got, I guess.

Actually some member of the Outlaws have regular jobs but just love motorcycles. And apparently there is a Conservative councillor in the UK who love bikes and is a member of the Outlaws club in his spare time.

Yes, there is the anarchic, mafia element as well, and people know not to mess with that group .

People can try to live with a vision of anarchy based on peace and love, with freedom from violence.
But what will you do if someone comes onto your site or selling heroin and you want to stop that?

You may have to use violence in order to remove those people.

Some rules will have to be there and people will have to enforce those rules which often leads to violence, and there will always be arguments about which kind of rules should be there.

Madhu,
I never have hidden the fact that I don’t know how to be clever and I talk a lot of bull, and I don’t have a problem with that! And maybe because of being so naive, I didn’t miss Osho, and it was the best thing that happened in my life! Oh, boy!

Makes sense to you? Cheers!

You are quite right. Hogue is just a charlatan.

Motorbike gangs may be a reaction against permanent violence of a world ruled by dictators. Helping each other against greedy rulers, if the main goal is materialistic.

The actual society is a pirate invention! Guess it is known here that ‘Captain Morgan’ was first who provided for his people health and pension coverage. A pirate-society or an ordinary fascist society produces again and again monsters. How we help each other against those Monsters – a result perhaps is a motorbike gang as simplest reaction, to get what you want.

The interpretation of anarchy can also be different, like:
Anarchy is freedom from violence and demarcation.

Anyway, fascism is easily defined: violence and demarcation against others.

But, there is no non-fascist society yet. How is it possible to find outer freedom in a fascist-dominated world?
