Ok, but I still don’t get this:
“for me the story telling is the medium, not the debated positions…”

Sorry, I don’t understand you here. That could be construed as simple self-indulgence, ie ‘sod the topic, the arguments etc;’, I’m just out to have fun…
But SURELY you don’t mean any such thing?!!

Thanks, Martyn, that’s pretty clear.
But can you really say that apart from realising all that isn’t for you and that you see through all the rubbish etc., that you haven’t benefited one iota from being with a […]

Anywhere you’d prefer to live then, Alok?
Satan’s words come to mind from Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’, something like this:
“The Mind is its own place and can make a Heaven out of Hell and a Hell from […]

Martyn, would you mind clarifying what you mean in your middle two paragraphs, please?
The rest I get ok.

Yes, Arpana, there was much that was uncomfortable in that system, including a fair share of poor teachers, choosing, what a massively influential History teacher of mine once termed, “the last refuge of the […]

You were unlucky then, Alok. I too had a few superb teachers in the 60′s, esp in the 6th form, in fact far more inspiring and influential than any university lecturer I later came across (with just one exception).

But sure, in the sense both parties share the psychic ‘evil’ – fear/suspicion, guilt, prejudice, hatred – and see through it all in a moment, breaking free into joy, the good, it is a coming together of good and […]

But Karima, how can Goering’s young relative be bracketed with his ‘monstrous’ actions? He was responsible for the ‘evil’ he perpetrated, not her.
So it’s not accurate to say ‘good’ and ‘evil’ came together in […]

But OF COURSE you’d have done either this or that, Prem, it’s obvious, innit?!
As usual, hindsight’s such a wonderful thing – and I trust you’re thanking Gord within and without for it bringing you SUCH clarity, […]

Thank Gord someone here’s got it the right way round (congratulations, Frank)…

Btw, Teertha – are you the ‘real’ (excuse me!) Teertha, the one that ran the Encounter Group, aka in certain circles for a while as “Osho’s successor”, and since the demise of the Ranch as Paul Lowe?
Doubt it, but curious anyway….

Alok John: I have often thought that the average Western sannyasin has not gone from atheism or Judaism or Christianity to Osho. They have made a big detour through humanistic psychology and many of them are still stuck there. I think this is one of the reasons for the conflict with the Indian sannyasins; they [...]

Besides, by your own argument, why should I or anyone else subscribe blindly to what Herr N might advocate in this matter? Convenient for you, so you can carry on indulging your admittedly great gift of comedy, taking nothing on board besides an apparently overwhelming cynicism, but in this case, irrelevant actually, for me. Oh [...]

Also, with respect to Herr Nietzsche and his unquestioned profound intelligence, I somehow doubt whether he ever claimed – or had – ‘enlightened’ credentials.
Please enlighten me if I’m wrong….

frank said… firstly,having a mythology of any sort does not make it a “truth” for everybody. bl claimed that his myth of draco etc.was not the product of “mythological imagination”, that is was closer to real than that. that gives free rein for subscribers to imagine that all must live within this myth or somehow [...]

Some might say the ‘Court Jester’ has a “mythology” of his very own, ie that nothing is conceivably of any worth at all – except as a source of laughs…
Weeeeelll…Life’ll get ‘im in the end, won’t you, Life, eh?!!
