Nityaprem commented on the post, Osho Through the Eyes of Gemini Chat AI – Nityaprem reports on and assesses an experiment, on the site sannyasnews 19 hours, 13 minutes ago
During my explorations of good and evil, Nietzsche and Osho on Nietzsche, I found Gemini starting to give direct links into the Osho Online Library, directly to sections of the books. That impressed me, because it […]

So I thought I’d ask the Gemini AI what views it considered toxic…it gave the following reply (clever machine!):
Q: Are there any views which are considered toxic?
A: “Absolutely, there are views considered […]

It’s interesting that the AI seems to be somewhat judgmental towards some people, but not others. If you ask for a summary of Adolf Hitler’s views, for example, it describes them as “toxic” and “hateful”, while […]

I’m just reminded today that a lot of spirituality is about…
…deconditioning.
Time is great at this, if you take enough rest and peace and quiet, you end up forgetting all the rubbish and coming closer to a […]

I have a lot of experience of different forums, ranging from the uniformly well-behaved (eg Buddhist) to the highly variable (eg mental health, free-thinker) and the moderating approach is usually a result of the […]

I know about it from videos, interviews with people, and hearing it discussed. I just think boarding schools are a terrible abnegation of the idea of loving parenting. Not that the Ranch was much better.
The best […]

That was vaguely amusing about Bhakti Marga, VeetTom. I ended up watching the whole thing, good for my German.
But I did note that when they were talking about the alleged sexual abuse they said the idea of […]

Swamishanti said, “Yes, the story is funny and a scam…clearly has the involvement of some group or other.”
I don’t think you can call the Erin Robbins letter a scam. It was clearly heartfelt for her after she […]

That I would agree with, Swamishanti, and well stated. It was a gathering of like-minded individuals, spiritual seekers, around a modern Buddha.
Wikipedia states a cult is “a group which is typically led by a […]

Here in the Netherlands it is almost the season of celebrating the birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach, which comes close to Easter, and there are usually many live performances of the Mattheus Passion which people […]

The whole anti-cult movement desperately wants to find some reason to add Osho to their pile of scalps, and that is why these old topics keep being brought up. The people involved in them have likely moved on by […]

There is a definition of strong, human-level AI as “an AI that can learn a university course and pass the examinations.” By that measure the most recent chat bots can already pass some university courses without […]

Well written, though, this comment by Lokesh on Swamishanti’s defence of Osho.
The whole idea of Osho as some kind of spiritual superman is very much rooted in Indian thinking on gurus. Personally, I think Osho’s […]

That’s hilarious… it seems to reason about the content from the title, that’s a bit more AI than I was expecting from a chatbot.
I hear in the news that Apple is negotiating with Google and OpenAI to include […]

True, the regular news media have long known of the power of the provocative and the worrying and negative. It’s the reason why I only take a small amount of news every day — the Dutch national news service […]

I think a lot of the anti-cult websites and YouTube channels carrying stories of sannyasin teenagers who suffered abuse have their own agendas. As if any even slightly cult-like movement has to be painted as […]

I wanted to share this, I have just begun reading it, but even just the introduction has the flavour of a real work of devotion. Wonderful that it is now freely available over the internet…
“In 1967 I met my […]

None of which really addresses the legacy of Osho in our lives today. The commune was a mix of good and bad, for me it resulted in a very turbulent childhood, but also a wonderful introduction to the ideas of […]

I reckon that a lot of those comments which are now coming out of the FB groups have some basis in fact, and that there were quite a few men who didn’t stick to the American age-of-consent laws in […]

The age of consent is currently 16, with exemption for teenagers who are close in age.
“Although the age of consent was often reported internationally to be 12, this was partly misleading, because sexual acts up […]
