I stand corrected on your experience – and it’s great that you reveal what is your own understanding, rather than theorise.
However, does that mean Osho or others did the same? You’ll know as well as I do how […]

How do you know shaktipat can be extremely powerful and beneficial for a disciple?
This sort of make-believe thinking is what makes sexual abuse such a common experience in the spiritual community. This is just […]

If “life is life is a tautology”, then I wonder what we might say about your profound notion that “the meaning of life is to be happy.”
It’s so totally trite that I wonder how you ever saw anything in Osho at all.

I am somewhat surprised by the responses to the questions regarding the so-called meaning of life.
It is of course a very abstract question and the very nature of the abstract is that it largely leads […]

U would definitely pass all the Guru examinations with your wise words.
But as to assisting an ignoramus like me, it’s not very helpful.
Perhaps you could answer your own question in more depth, in your own […]

Well said, Frank.
The detail or the specifics are what many miss.
Instead we go round in circles debating the finer points of theory. This is exactly the problem with most of the non-dualists whose emphasis is […]

You raised the question of giving up the search or giving up seeking. It’s a challenging question, which Frank has answered in his inimitable way. In many ways he has explored the issue so deeply that I have […]

Is it any wonder why women aren’t exactly thriving on SN, when this sort of image is uploaded?
MOD:
Agreed. Thanks, Simond, it’s now deleted. -

“ you want to learn about Osho, you would have to be prepared to listen, to learn from more experienced sannyasins, even Arpana – spending time with sannyasins would also teach you. Listen to loveosho podcasts. […]

The power of imagination runs very deep. The ability to see oneself as superior is also pretty endless.
Religionists like Swamishanti tell us, inform us, remind us, declare to us how enlightened they are and […]

What the hell does living in my head mean?

Yes, trusting others is dangerous, but dropping one’s opinions, getting utterly lost and confused by others is always a good thing. Scary, of course, but ultimately beneficial.

Hi Arpana,
I can’t always find the thread on the site to follow your comments, so this is a bit out of place, but you made a valid accusation about how Osho could be sarcastic himself about Desai and also how you […]

Why be sarcastic? What’s the value of cynical, sarcastic remarks? Do they make you feel better? Stronger? Cleverer?
They always come back to bite you, in my experience.
You’ll never feel valued or loved or […]

Clearly your understanding of the ego is vastly different from mine, Arpana.

I read a while into this elongated rebuttal of Anando’s book, finding myself marvelling at the absurdity of the review.
What is it about spiritual types that they love bunking the ego?
The obsession with […]

These sort of anti-cultists have no understanding of anything, ridiculing anything that isn’t materialism of one kind or another
I’m no fan of ET but he’s genuine, if rather doddery.
