Ok, Satchit, that’s a fair point, so let’s substitute ‘using discrimination and discernment through self-awareness’ for ‘self-criticism’. The point is, though, that the process of seeing your self as it is […]

Ok, Satchit, if you really want a bit of “serious”…

Being self-critical is not necessarily always related to the past. But maybe a more appropriate term is self-aware, from a willingness to look at critical […]

Self-critical? You? Utterly nonsensical, Satchit. I reckon a lengthy ban for Simond is the only proprtionate response, don’t you?

You’ve justified Simond’s critical points.

But don’t worry, relax, the tennis has started….Easy is right, after all, isn’t it?!

Look in the mirror, Satchit: You’re behaving precisely as predicted (June 28, 6.23pm).

And btw, this is an open blog, there’s no such thing as ‘private’ communication here. If you post something anyone can respond.

Perhaps you have not yet realised, Satchit, that childish name-calling is hardly an adequate response to such detailed, rational criticism?

Or is it that you’re just too lazy, too complacemtly stuck in your ways […]

Perhaps you haven’t noticed that NP willingly invited Simond’s comments, Satchit (June 28, 9.11pm, 9.15pm)

Good points, Klaus.

SS, I still have at least two books on Sai Baba that I bought when I was in Puttapathi (one of which is helping to support my laptop as I write). I’ve got rid of a few others and read one or two more over there. […]

I suspect such a path would be impractical these days, NP, we’ve gone way too far into the so-called ‘lower’ realms, so that we’re all more or less ‘sexually loaded’. What seems to be required is to unite sex with […]

Sam, aka Paritosh, the author of ‘Life of Osho’, was one of the founders of Sannyas News, together with Parmartha and Dharmen, all of whom are sadly no longer with us.

I recall suspecting a couple of guys I came across at the Ranch at the summer festival, ’83, of being ‘agents’. I’d say they were in their 30s, dressed in the ‘regulation’ attire, but wearing no mala, and […]

I said “almost all”, SS, ie the vast majority.

Yes, I recall such stories, almost all emanating from India, I read a lot about Sai Baba before and during my visit to his home village in ’96.

However, as far as I know, the claimed phenomena at Stephen […]

Is Erin the only woman to have revealed this sort of story?

I recall that Sai Baba story now, although I hadn’t previously heard that SB actually appeared and healed a patient. But I wonder whether that really happened, as Turoff’s clinic was always jam-packed with […]

Right you are, SS, I’ll refer them to you to further clarify the rationale behind these important, practical common-sense proposals.

Shanti, you wrote, “I respect Osho`s views on a more open and playful attitude to sex, which would mean no hang-ups from people just having it off in the supermarket, or having a loud quickie in the office, or […]

Shanti,
I’m sure non-participants would welcome regular public sex going on in supermarkets, offices and on the streets, brightening up their otherwise predictable daily routines. But why stop there, why not […]
