Satchit enquires, “So all the good commentators disappeared because of me?”
His words not mine, because I did not say that. I said, “His comments on SN have helped bring the quality of this blog down.”

I can […]

Sri Sri Satchit declares, “If I would not share my energy here SN would be dead long ago.”
Erm…delusional doesn’t quite sum it up.

Satchit, your comments on SN have helped bring the quality of this blog down. […]

SD’s shout-out for 45 quid seems to have sent what few regulars there are left left on SN running for cover.
Let’s see now. £45? That’s about 50e, which is half of what I spend on petrol a week to keep my gas […]

“I talk to them (the multitude) in parables, because they have sight and do not see, and have hearing but do not hear or […]

Metaphors for what?

Obviously things you don’t understand. Here is another one.
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet.”
You […]

Walking on water and bringing back the dead are simple metaphors. Taking those metaphors literally is kindergarten level interpretation.

This quote is all very well and sounds good enough.
Egoistic. Jesus says, ”Come, follow me.” If you follow that logic does it mean that Osho was egotistic because he declared, “I am the gate.”?

Osho said much and […]

I just travelled back in time and heard Osho say the following:
“I know reincarnation is a truth. But I am not saying that you should believe it because I say so. Never believe anybody else’s experience; that is a […]

Yes, NP, I view politics in the same light. I’ll be interested to hear your opinion.

I find the whole concept of personal reincarnation to be unviable. The Buddha introduced the concept that there is no soul (self) tieing the cycle of rebirths, in contrast to themes asserted by various Hindu and […]

Hi S,

‘Ukraine on Fire’ is a pretty powerful documentary. The problem between Russia and Ukraine has existed for a long time and won’t go away any day soon. One thing is certain, you can’t believe anything […]

Hi NP,

For years I had the idea of writing a revenge story banging around in my head. Getting the reader into the mind of a killer with a lot of interesting twists and turns, with the occasional insight tossed […]

Yeah, NP, I agree. Here is a relevant quote from ‘Jake Knox’:

“I took the little Ziploc bag from her and emptied its contents onto the palm of my left hand. There were five hits of blotter acid with a dancing […]

Here, hear. I put a question to AI about the nature of this sacrilegious publication. In less that thirty seconds AI reported…

According to http://www.iAsk.ai Ask Ai Search Engine:

The novel “Jake Knox” is a […]

When ‘The Mustard Seed’ first came out I found it to be very inspirational. I picked it up a couple of years ago, read a chapter and that was enough to know I did not wish to read further.
I much prefer Jake Knox.

To conclude this little diversion into Jesus and his parables we have a wee Osho quote:

“Jesus gives a sensitivity to people, an awareness, a mindfulness, a meditation, so that they can feel their way, so that […]

NP says, “Any parable can be turned into a fart joke.”
JC says, “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

Hardly a profound response, NP. Is that the best you can come up with? Here is another one to work on:
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them […]

NP says, ‘”I’ve never found Jesus particularly profound compared to Krishnamurti or Nisargadatta or Osho.”

Surely this is because NP does not possess the keys to unlocking the doors, particularly in the New […]

Jesus Christ? The biggest difference between Osho and Jesus is that we know for sure that Osho existed. It is debatable whether Jesus existed. During the time of Christ there were a couple of dozen chroniclers in […]
