We also shouldn’t forget influential video games, if we’re going to count films and tv, although that’s maybe more my generation than yours.
I can remember quite well the first 3D games, and the first real […]

Let’s see. A biography of favourite books, what a fantastic idea, @Frank.
I used to read a lot when I was younger and was heavily into science fiction, it would take some effort to even write up a favourites […]

The article is pretty clear on what percentage of UK over 65s can expect to encounter it.

It’s even worse…
“61.4% of those aged 65 or over in the UK estimated to have dementia have a coded diagnosis of dementia as at 31st January, 2021. A decrease from 62.4% on 31st December […]

There is a saying, the future is not yet here, the past is dead and gone, only the present is here. Yet the past and the future are manifest in the present, and a skillful person can read them a little. That is […]

It really depends how much you personally believe in spirits, entities, mediums, the paranormal and so on. It’s very counter to the scientific paradigm, you would have to go back to a dualist worldview where there […]

Pretty funny, you caused me to go look up Swami Rajneesh, he seems a very dodgy fellow. -

Klaus, it certainly is a tuning-in…and then a dropping out into sleep, as happens to my father frequently these days, he listens to podcasts just before going to bed. The dude is now 74, so a little snoozing is to […]

Well, as e=mc2, and we know that e is energy, m is matter and c is consciousness, then we can work out from the fact that a dead body was found in 1884 to be 4 grams lighter than a live body, and consciousness has […]

@Klaus wrote: “For those in the end game. For beginners it might be different. Those are the people I feel for. Knowing about obstacles etc.”
It was written in a completely different context but it made me think. […]

My experience is that a lot of online meditations are conducted through Zoom, so that people can have the impression of sitting together in silence. Often there is a little discussion before and after the session, […]

Another one for your survey then: the Plum Village app from the followers of Thich Nhat Hanh. Lots of mindfulness and meditations, and free.

Certainly true. Often people are still judged by their standing in society: are you a professor, a company director, a member of the local council? The importance of spiritual people has kind of diminished, not […]

You might want to take a look at Sam Harris’s app ‘Waking Up’ if you’re looking at meditation apps. It seems expensive at first, but when you dig deeper you find they actually give away free memberships to those […]

Makes you wonder if Osho was planting a few seeds for the movement for after he was gone. Somebody with a more Gurdjieffian rascal nature might have made a career out of a pronouncement like that….

Ultimately these books are just reminders of our own memories, a point of comparison which helps bring our own lives into focus and perhaps bring a new glimpse of Osho back to the present.
I think it’s a […]

Agreed that McKenna’s intellectual output wasn’t the most well-reasoned. But then, reason isn’t everything, and he was an entertaining advocate for people getting a psychedelic education, as you yourself […]

Does the nitrous oxide story matter? If you look at the behaviour of yogis in India, they (by all accounts) also smoke prodigious amounts of charras, the gum resin of hemp. It seems to be mostly ordinary.

What does it mean then that mine say XXL? Do I get some form of bonus siddhi?
