The thing is, SD, we live in a highly competitive world. It is difficult to avoid. I can be quite competitive at times, although as I age this is less so. Can’t be bothered. I think where competitiveness still […]

All in all, a very good story, and well told. I was there when Osho told it, and I can remember afterwards, trying my best to be absolutely useless for some time. It was not difficult. Any idiot can be […]

The first Alan Watts book I read, back in the early seventies, was titled ‘The Wisdom of Insecurity’. The title says it all and it had a positive effect on me…probably because I was feeling a bit insecure at the […]

Yup….

The paradigm has shifted towards who or what it is that seeks spiritual experiences. When one enquires who or what is it that seeks, the answer is nobody. Our idea of self is an illusion. We are the ghost in the […]

During the summer, I watched tourists braving the waves while holding their mobile phones above their heads to prevent them from getting damaged by sea water.

I’ve met a couple of nasty spirits in my life, but never an alien as such.

Knowing Koregaon Park from 45 years ago, this represents a remarkable sign of the times.

HI SD, yes all of my paintings are for sale. Someone in NY will probably buy the last one I posted. They saw it last week and said they wanted it along with a few others, in a couple of months, once they move […]

It’s 80 by 80, unlike this one.

I paint every day and I am not sure if any of my paintings make sense. Just finished this one this morning: ‘Regeneration’.

Good poem and I really like the painting.

“Do you think you need to have had certain experiences to be a true idiot?”

Certainly, one needs mind-numbing experiences to become a complete idiot.
After being frustrated with the world, at least being an idiot […]

Oh, dear….

NP, you ask, “Do you think you need to have had certain experiences to be truly spiritual?”
I have no idea. I do not think about such things.

And then, “Some marker to say you have arrived?”
Arriving implies […]

Oh…well…erm…NP, it sounds a bit like you might be going with the flow.
