you are right herrenvolk, the pseudo-intellectual freudian who wrote that idiotic book clearly is an immature seeker,unlike,say,you or i,who luxuriate in the mature lotus of no-mind obedience to our master,whilst these ex-sannyasins with their fantasies of “independence” are stuck in the mud of unconsciousness. that is clear enough. the utterly…[Read more]

I was a bit confused when my name was given back to me, thinking perhaps that I had missed out on something. I wasn’t given any groups either, although I did do some in the end, again not wanting to miss out! Wearing the mala and orange did make us all stand out in ‘normal’ [...]

And today’s Osho quote is:
The rebellion is against the dead past: all the traditions, all the religions, all the civilizations, all the cultures, all the nations, all political ideologies — the rebellion is against this junk.

Bodhi, I find your comment myopic. Just because something is an age-old tradition does not mean that it is good. It also means that by saying that it somehow is means that you are not really looking at the points I am making, which have nothing to do with being a pseudo intellectualism or fan [...]

Osho was open to all who came to him for sannyas. This was unlike the past when Masters felt free to refuse disciples with alacrity and choose only those they considered “ready”. Many ended up surrounding themselves with quite a small number of disciples with whom they worked intensely, as in the Sufi schools. Osho’s [...]

Great video Martin. Thanks for it, and do you know anything else about this guy, and which city he is in?
Great idea, and let’s hope it catches fire. Now was “Juan” a sannyasin?? -

Your parents choose your name, even if they are good parents, they are parents. You throw the whole societal beckoning by throwing away that name. So Osho did stage one. However – not stage two, for he gave us another name which in and of itself was societal – the society of sannyas, replacing one [...]

The name-trip may indeed have been another parental trip — basically a version of what Freud identified long ago as ‘transference’ — but it was perhaps a necessary one. For whatever may be said about Osho, I think he was in tune with the Zeitgeist (which is largely why he was so popular). I see [...]

alokjohn started the forum topic Osho English Internet Radio. in the group Cancer and Conciousness: 12 years, 5 months ago
I cannot seem to post on the NoticeBoard, but there now appears to exist Osho English Internet Radio of Osho discourses, broadcasting 24/7, presumably from Pune. The audio quality ranges from acceptable to very good, far better from my experience than the free downloads from OshoWorld. There seem to be some repeats. Anyway here it [...]

Well, after reading Martyn’s comment, I’m definitely worried about sounding completely absurd.

Osho called me Anand Lokesh and told me that it meant the blissful Lord of this World. In Hindi Lokesh is another name for Brahma and in Tibetan an abbreviated form of Avalokiteshvara. These days, when meeting people I’ve never met before, I introduce myself as either Luke or Lokesh, depending on what kind of [...]

Being a casework counsellor by profession the paradox seems to be the confusion in the disciple’s mind. Clearly in terms of the role the Master plays in the cacophony of “unconscious” forces we all inherit, then there are very grave dangers for the disciple in replacing the poor parent by the best parent. To me [...]

THE NAME GAME: Lokesh opines Osho said: ‘Don’t be deceived by the names. You are always hankering to catch hold of something, to make something big out of nothings. The names I give you are just like lovers’ sweet nothings. Don’t make much fuss about them. “In fact, once I have given you the name, [...]

How come that people like Fu & Co are attracted to this site. Nobody is interested in what they have to say, they get blocked and reappear with another name and yet they persist, like bothersome flies, with their boring, pedestrian and completely uninspiring and very limited comments with links to mundane vids on Youtube.
I’ve found that there…[Read more] -

Hi Teertha, i saw a film a few years back about a scene in Yugoslavia. A guy is killed so they put his body on top of an anti-personel mine as a booby trap. Then the guy wakes up. Yes, their is a movie script that will need a treatment- My story is a first [...]

Interesting post, Hafiz. I would not have too high expectations about this film’s content. It has its moments, but the main thing to remember is that this is pop culture…no big insights, just good clean middle of the road fun.

Lokesh, the premise of your ‘Mind Bomb’ sounds intriguing and movie-worthy. Have you written a script? Off the top, two films that come to mind are ‘The Beast’, a 1981 war flick about a stranded Russian battle tank in Afghanistan. It has a scene in the movie where the hero is bound to a rock [...]
