I feel very attracted to your work. I don’t precisely understand them, but love them. When you make an exhibition of them, let us know. I am around for a while and certainly I will appreciate them up front.

The ways, though, how in different phases of evolutionary ´humankindness´- developments, the Sacred ever found its ways to hide, not to be abused and misused by greedy, power-stricken, ambitious people.

Sometimes, as one knows, even whole cultures of Humans, which one even nowadays would define as very highly evolved, simply disappeared (mostly by a seemingly inbuilt inner destruction-mode..).

Rare survivors with their testimonials or with their pieces of ART surviving testimonials teach us historically a lot about the latter.

The Sacred is not at all an easy INNER-LOVER! Not at any time!

And mostly doesn´t happen to respond to some public relations hype (PR) or noisy monkey business in the more than less nowadays technically (and virtual) ´human-Zoo´.

It´s then, that some feel the ´Missing´: going inside then…or having a break…or both…or (if they are fortunate) engage in Soul-Hunting, investigating what they´ve lost of value on their pilgrimage of Life.
Looking for Friends and looking for support to keep going.

As we are not islands – isolated from the rest of the Living.

As far as I am concerned, the reading triggered (sent) me off to a journey far back into the seventies, reading all this Castaneda stuff, lots of talk with some friends or meeting a bunch of people being involved in some Sufi gatherings or Gurdjieff wannabe practitioners at that time etc. Or watching the hours long documentary work of a Michael Oppitz (‘Shamans in the Blind Land’).

Strong stuff has been delivered here by Yogini Bharati, but as she herself says:
“This abreviated life story is actually an introduction to a very different subject, which I will not touch upon now. I will read the comments in response to this article, and decide afterwards, to write a follow-up, or not.”

As I see it, this author doesn´t need to be courageous, as some say. She IS courage and I´ve been as impressed as Kavita by her lines about her trapeze career and what she took out of it (before and even after the accident).

When I read her lines:
“…and to this day I have no idea how he (the Master) managed to generate what I would decribe as a universal loving compassion”…
these words did meet my heart, and I´ve been just in awe – and same moment came a response (as trial and maybe error):
There is no shortcut re substances (the topic-title, presumably not chosen by herself?).

Ending up, that in this very moment, I´m just in awe about the mani-manifold variety of humans Osho caught in His net.

P.S:
I´m grateful for the journey (memories) so I´m grateful for Yogini Bharati´s contribution – knowing though, that I just saw a few bits of kaleidoscopic splinters which are not of any use for me now…just some footprints in the sand, which the ocean will erase the very next moment….

Well, what a nice way to put it…you didn´t mention the greed, the addictions and its madnesses – and last and not at all least, the (whatnot) crimes happening in that context.

“We’ll mull it over, although one obvious drawback is the amount of extra work for ‘admin’ so much more input would require.”

PR, this is exactly what I was implying in my own way.
