Yesterday I met up with a sannyasin friend who had been a psychiatric nurse and had worked in hospices with the dying. He’s now in his sixties, and it was interesting listening to some of his stories. I’ve myself […]

Some of those statements were great. “Be prepared, plan for a miracle” was one of my favourites too. It seemed to somehow embody the essence of sannyas, of not doing the ‘mortgage, home, family, pets’ thing but […]

Satchit said, “if someone really sees suicide as a solution then it is difficult to hold him back.”
Yes, Satchit, but it all comes down to suffering. If you don’t suffer then what problem is suicide a solution […]

Shocking, Lokesh. And very extreme. It is when I read stories like that that I realise (again) that most of our suffering is inside our heads, and that our kindness and forgiveness should be extended towards […]

As far as suicide is concerned, I make no judgments on those who do it. There is often an element of unbearable suffering in it, for which in the Netherlands you would be able to get euthanasia, an assisted […]

Yes, that is a danger. McKenna was also rather enthusiastic about the things he encountered in his sessions, while ideas inspired by psychedelics such as the I Ching-based novelty view of history and the 2012 […]

I think you have to make a distinction between things like opiates and heroin, which are “chemical feel-good juice” but destructive to the body, and psychedelics, which are medicine for exploring our own mind. […]

I’ve been tempted, but only for psychedelics — it seems the era of entheogens has come again. There is an excellent book by Michael Pollan, titled ‘How to Change Your Mind’, in which he talks about the medical and […]

I like this one better…
“The fact of the matter is that all apparent forms of matter and body are momentary clusters of energy. We are little more than flickers on a multidimensional television screen. This […]

I feel it is best to approach these things with some tolerance. You don’t know what mental tortures other people undergo that cause them to lash out in pain. So I ignore some of what Veet writes, and respond to […]

I just heard from a good sannyasin friend that her (non-sannyasin) elder brother broke a hip and is now confined to a closed ward with delirium, it can happen to you! Delirium as it happened to my grandmother was […]

I’ve done some volunteer work in the past, working with those who don’t so easily get out of their homes and minds anymore. It’s interesting what you encounter, people who stay at home for ten years, people who […]

I’m not really in favour of rhetorical situations, I think we have enough to deal with in the here-and-now. Otherwise where would you stop, the imagination is endlessly inventive, if your Nazi was not extreme […]

Here is a poem by Thich Nhat Hanh to illuminate your day:

Beautiful photo…Osho is just following his bliss, aware that what will happen is exactly what needs to happen.

“Let the dead bury the dead”? All very well for the dead, but what about the living who may still have a few years to go but can’t take care of themselves anymore? Would you let them lie in piss-and shit-filled […]

It’s the time of year when GPs come calling with ‘flu shots and all kinds of people come down with a bout of the lurgy. I think that’s what it’s called anyway.
I have been enjoying a dive into comparative […]

We’ll put it down to being a literary device then, eh, Lokesh, in your long-standing attempt to liven up the forum .

There is a yearly conference here in the Netherlands which was inspired by the ‘Crazywise’ film and has the same name, where people who have experience of mental health conditions but want to connect with […]

I just wanted to further comment on Lokesh’s borderline schizophrenics comment with a documentary I feel everyone should see, which is Phil Borges’ beautiful film ‘Crazywise’ about two people with mental health […]
