My take on this is that it might be appropriate for some people at certain times. Like many other perspectives Osho illuminated, it’s not at all necessarily for everyone, and perhaps not all the time, it’s a […]

Exactly, Lokesh. In darshans, Osho very often asked what people going back to their lives in the world would be doing and commented on their responses, including giving some advice here and there. He certainly […]

Brilliant description of who we are (and are not) in the ‘game of life’, by Alan Watts. Just this track would explain why Osho held him in such high regard:

But without thinking about spiritual matters there’d be no Sannyas News discussion forum, Satchit!

And one needs to think clearly in order to write effectively, as I think I’m sure you’ll agree.

Ok, I stand corrected (although the photo of Osho still doesn’t seem to quite fit).

I wonder whether Osho deliberately chose to be in the same town as Maharishi in order to be there for a possible public […]

I strongly suspect this is a fake, especially as I recall seeing a photo of Osho, alone, sitting in this posture, looking exactly like this.

Agree, NP, it’d be complete and utter garbage. Artifical food for the soul, akin to synthetic food.

But obsession with this sort of disembodied electronic communication is the way the world is heading. Apart […]

Well, here’s an antidote to all that nonsense, one of the best talks from Alan Watts I’ve had the pleasure to hear, just superb:

Would you sell these, Lokesh? If so, what would be your asking price?

Just happened on an Eckhart video where – if I’ve understood correctly – he states that it’s not necessary to become aware of the ‘separate’ one who is aware, it’s the awareness that is aware of […]

Pretty close, Loke, although the clothes aren’t right.

Timothy Leary, whose ‘Ecstasy’ book I’m thoroughly enjoying, would probably have consulted “God” about this matter (although it took him five years of taking LSD before he was ok with saying the word “God”) as he […]

Well, it might sound like that to the ever-thinking mind, always looking for some consolation or way out in the face of potential threats to his/her existence. And more than likely it’s true (ET, for instance, has […]

That’s a highly contentious belief in a world where ill people have their fingers on nuclear buttons. As things become ever worse in the world let’s see how much truth this contains.

Barry Long commented on that famous invocation of Jesus, saying that you can’t effectively try to “love” your enemies, the point is to let go of them. Good advice, I’ve always thought since hearing that.

Donald Trump is a classic example of a ‘projector’. Is there a greater egotist with less self-awareness than him in public life?

You could investigate ‘psychic protection’ methods, eg invoking the energy of any master you love and trust. But perhaps you don’t feel particularly threatened, these psychic entities seem pretty mild according to […]

If it’s not the mind, NP, what do you think it might be? One possibility is that If you’re disturbed by the conflicting voices then you might have opened yourself to psychic ‘entities’ that are attracted to people […]

Highly effective passionate anger with positive proposals for action from another anti-Trump campaigner at youtube, a former top man in the US Legal system. Pretty inspiring if you’re in the mood. I hope the […]

Ok, tell that to the Ukrainians, NP. And to the 60+% of the population of America who are against Trump (according to current opinion polls) whose country is being profoundly ruined by internal fascism. And to the […]
