Frank says of the Ranch:
“…it was one massive mythical process performance taking place in a liminoid cultural space played out live on the technology of the time, the aim of which was to alter the core symbols through which the world would come to see itself as it happened and in the future.”

That’s a mouthful, Frank – but food for some deep thought indeed. Wow. Even learned a new word: “liminoid.” Latin from ‘threshold’, or that twilight space between the past known and future unknown – The Twilight Zone!

Hmmm…”core symbols,” “incongruent paint,” “personal and group myth.” Very, very interesting….

This is what I really meant (before being edited), Veet Francesco:
“That you minimise the negative impact of virtual life on the real one DOES NOT AT ALL MEAN THAT OTHERS are doing the same.”

Fits with ´men behind the men behind the men, behind etc.´ (see Levina´s good take) which is mentioned as a ´structural jealousy-in action´, which is the topic just now – two days later.

Wouldn´t trust the family and systems constellation circus as much as you do, Veet Francesco (and even recommend to others).

And I speak from experience here – as we all may be exposed (some sooner, some later) to new forms of piracy (not only data we generate or not only perpetrating data) and on quite a very broad scale.

And I also speak from experience here.

P.S:
´Pokemon´ games you could google, btw….

And here’s a short video of the geezer in Darshan 1979:

Thanks for replying as I consider your post as an addition or bonus to my knowledge of Neo-Sannyas.

I hope these ‘Darshan Diaries’ recreate the magic.

Well, Anandrahul, one should beware of a too rigid interpretation of Osho’s preferences. Sure, there were general guidelines, but basically he was for the needs of the individual, rather than ‘set-in-stone’ rules. Which is why the ‘Darshan Diaries’ are perhaps the most interesting and instructive of all his books.

For example, I recall a darshan I was at where a young American couple asked Bhagwan (as he was then) to “marry” them – which he did most willingly, saying that for him, marriage was “about helping each other grow.”

Similarly, he spoke publically against Maharishi’s TM, but told me in an early darshan he thought it was perfectly ok for me to continue doing it, no problem at all.

And then there was this young Austrian chap who practised yoga, which Bhagwan had recently denounced, who reported that the master had in fact encouraged him to continue his practice, as it was “very good for the body”, even recommending he go to B.K.S. Iyengar (who was based in Pune), “the best yogi in India.”

Also, re your film casting comment, why expect an actor to be the same in his/her actual life as in any role on stage or screen? Are we bothered that someone plays a criminal when they’ve never committed a crime (or vice versa)? Or when they act as a happily married person when they’re single and three times divorced (or vice versa)?

If the acting is good enough we suspend disbelief and simply enjoy the show, that’s the magic of it all.

How hilarious will be that soon after playing the role of a ‘Maverick guru’, the actor gets married in real life. The Maverick guru was against the institution of marriage.

Levina, you ask, “Who or What have we got to thank for That?”

That`s the $64,000 question that was appropriately posed on a 64,000 acre ranch!

Frank, your distractions keep me right on track again, so keep up the good works!

So these quiet, conservative businessmen who supposedly pull the strings, are themselves being pulled by even quieter businessmen, and they get pulled by even quieter, quieter busybody men…ad infinitum, neverending, neverending, nevere….
