THERE WAS ONCE A MAN NAMED MOJUD. HE LIVED IN A TOWN WHERE HE HAD OBTAINED A POST AS A SMALL OFFICIAL, AND IT SEEMED LIKELY THAT HE WOULD END HIS DAYS AS INSPECTOR OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

ONE DAY WHEN HE WAS WALKING THROUGH THE GARDENS OF AN ANCIENT BUILDING NEAR HIS HOME, KHIDR, THE MYSTERIOUS GUIDE OF THE SUFIS, APPEARED TO…[Read more]

I didn’t mean the last to be published.

Was a slightly self-mocking remark about not reading any more of these books about Osho (I have no doubt I will. I enjoyed Anando’s).

Yeah. Fantastic piece! On a loop now.

You’ll love these…

To which I replied.
“Did I? I haven’t seen that. Could you be more precise?”

Re the rest of your post:

Nice to hear […]

A more personal answer is that I have a sense of what Sannyas is about, Osho is about, which is being constantly updated, on account of how I am not beyond that (Reference point / Model) but I am not […]

I still live in the world of framing*.
Congratulations on having left that behind.

*framing:

“I doubt that there is so much difference between ‘consciously’ and ‘unconsciously’.”

That’s a dismissal of Osho’s teachings, who, as I understand it, is working to move his people beyond […]

That’s tautological, which if nothing else is stylistically short.
Doesn’t answer Satchit’s question.
Respectfully, I don’t expect brevity from you.

I would be surprised if the Russian invasion of Ukraine has anything to do with consciousness.

Unconscious is reactive and leads to unexpected consequences or more reactiveness.

Conscious is deliberate and mischievous, as often as not in my case; and as often as not […]

Did you come to that through experience?
I agree with you but I have been very extrovert and sociable.

Had a 160 people at my thirtieth birthday party, now hell would freeze […]

That’s an opinion, just in case you hadn’t realised.

You are relaxing into trusting your own perceptions and trusting your capacity to handle what follows.

Once that begins to happen trusting others is irrelevant.

You live in your head.

Best laugh I’ve had all day.

Osho referring to Morarji Desai as ”old piss drinker” isn’t sarcasm? Really?

Conscious sarcasm is not the same as unconscious sarcasm.

You always talk as it were in a “nice” way, all mixed up with veiled anger, bitterness, resentment, sarcasm, malice, spite and unctuousness; because you set such store by being nice.

Take a leaf from […]

Why not be sarcastic on occasions?

You have a very Christian, binary view of life.

I have a pretty positive attitude to SD. He’s a robust individual. Not a saint either.

”They” sound fearful to me.

I attempt to keep this story in mind. Not always successfully.

In a great king’s court, the scholars of the court started debating about God. And the king was no ordinary king — he was REALLY a […]

Re. my post to SD., I was being sarcastic.

I agree with you up to a point about ego. Seems to me a huge part of the problem with ego is non-acceptance, and so it becomes entangled with conscience.

I […]

Great news regarding your negative thoughts.

Better late than never.

Egotism is defined as the drive to maintain and enhance favourable views of oneself and generally features an inflated opinion of one’s personal features and importance distinguished by a person’s […]

Recall coming across a story about a 19th century historian, whose name escapes me, who gave up writing history books because of an incident that occurred near where he lived, after which, in an attempt to […]

This is a bit of a daft remark about ego. Your ego is at work here, letting us know how superior you are.

And you didn’t notice the egotism of the remark by Lokesh.

AD INFINITUM.

If interest continues into the future, historians will have such a great time with the well documented birth throes, and ongoing squabbles, in fact, so many details may work like none at […]

Apart from that, imagination has its uses.

When I am asked for directions I can bring an image of the route to my mind’s eye, my imagination, and use the image to give directions.

When I […]

‘Strange Fruit’ – Billie Holiday

I read the two horses’ story in about ’81, which took my breath away at the time, in part because I, not very wittingly, was torn between the idea if I lived alone I was avoiding the difficulty of […]

Are you seriously suggesting there is no immediate energy in this?

Occurs to me it’s also about trusting our own perceptions, without becoming identified, and is very in the moment.

My strongest memory of this happening is reading the […]

I am still, albeit much more subtle than at one time, about relationships.

I am a long way from full transcendence of relationship.

That sense of resonance is so powerful, fulfilling; and part of it is […]

To connect to Osho is to move away from a life of imitation, although I guess imitation goes on at the start, which is sannyas conditioning, into a trial and error life, a life […]

I am powerless to resist […]

What went on in Oregon was hugely to do with competitiveness and winning and losing, dominance and submission and issues around status in a very conservative sense, it seems to me; strong aspects of a […]

Yes, but wider than that.

For example, working in situations, speaking personally, when I was the only individual who didn’t drink and do drugs, and more particularly, hadn’t for years. (More specifically, […]

The Way is most certainly not a computer game, but whilst “travelling” on “the Way”, dealing with the more ‘worldly’ aspects can be very much like a computer game.
