    and teertha, i do not agree that alan watts “pointed out” that western psychotherapy was the equivalent to eastern meditation. the book “psychotherapy east and west” was a piece of creative writing,with the author riffing on the similarities that could be found and maybe made to work between the eastern and western “ways of liberation” [...]

    teertha
    you ask….
    “therapy groups are simply meditation externalised..
    …what`s the difference?”
    from your professional bias,that may,to you, appear to be a rhetorical question.
    there is ,however a clear answer…
    money-cost and power structure.

  • freddie was doing 20 mile hikes up in the alps and doing the substances,too…..
    that`s how he wrote osho`s all time favourite book “thus spake zarathustra”
    strange but true….

  • freddie was a bit of a waster too,according to recent research.
    some say thats at least part of the reason he went bonkers.
    opium,chloral hydrate,hashish and a particular fondness for a mysterious javanese preparation that he obtained from an unknown dutchman of javanese extraction,possibly from amsterdam……

  • lokesh.
    who did osho score it off?
    was it orange sunshine,mr natural,instant zen or black pyramids?

  • …… freddie was oshos fave philosopher. apart from the fact that osho clearly saw himself as freddie`s zarathustra,it seems that osho took the post-mod situation nietzsche had arrived at as the “limits of the mind” from which you could either go mad (like freddie) or go beyond and hit no-mind…. but the idea of leaving [...]
