Hi NP,
The masses are often wrong but then again when 3 commentators also express very much the same feedback to you, I’d say it’s worth asking yourself if they may have a point.

If you are to express yourself on […]

All the pain in the world is mine, NP, because only I experience it. I can’t experience anyone else’s pain, so whilst I project suffering on others, through my perception of it, it is mine and mine only.

Indeed, […]

One of the common misconceptions, which you and other meditator types fail to recognise, is that the Mind is your enemy.

So the idea that you should drop the mind is a faulty one.

How can I say this? Where’s my […]

What is Samsara? Who are these people caught up in it? What’s your understanding of this eastern concept, bandied about by westerners as polite references to some eastern theology that they’ve picked up by reading […]

Hi NP,

If you believe the world is going to change, or the wars in Ukraine or Israel or the actions of ICE can be changed you’re living in a dream world.

The world has been at war since the very beginning of […]

Congratulations on your article in Osho News. It’s good you share the more vulnerable side of your character. In doing so you come across more openly about the more real challenges you have and perhaps still are […]

If the root of life was love and kindness as you say Mr Eckhart tells us, why is the world so full of its opposite? Surely the root would flower to reveal the kindness and love within?

Why do you feel the need to […]

As Barry Long once said, there’s no point in talking to, or reasoning or discussion with madness – so it’s unlikely Lokesh will respond to your absurd comment. On this occasion I’ll go against his advice.

These accounts often have similar themes. In the celebration of Osho’s death they are marked by a depth of feeling, of joy, loss and sadness.

Such were the depths that many sannyasins experienced in the presence […]

An excellent review of the story, Toby, makes a lot of sense to me.

Honestly, whether he was poisoned or not doesn’t seem important to me. He clearly suggested he had been, and he wasn’t treated well by the authorities. They didn’t like him and were apparently threatened by him. […]

You can look all you like at his face, but it will get you not very far. Put him on a pedestal or feel a tingle looking at him. However you romanticise him, the real journey is to find your way to become your own […]

There is so much insight and reflection in your writing on Ramana. It’s a wonder to read your interpretation. So thank you, you add your own intelligence to what is sometimes a challenging read in Ramana.

He’s an […]

Much of the story has passed me by, so thanks for your recent highlighting of history.Its clearly a sad story, which has traumatised those closely affected.

That such a movement might attract those with a […]

I feel that it’s important not to defend Osho but to see him for what he was. To suggest he was distant because he didn’t want to engender vestiges of attachment on their part is not to recognise that he too was […]

As usual, well thought out writing from Lokesh.

I wholeheartedly agree with his reasoning as well as his wisdom on the saga. If the new crisis amongst sannyasins over what happened many years ago has any purpose […]

I thought this was as valuable an insight for consideration as anything out there in the so-called spiritual world

I have made a donation a few days ago, others will have to make donations to ensure the site remains open.
I see no reason why those who have made a donation are not recognised so that those who haven’t and yet […]

Many thanks for your thoughtful reply, Kavita. I feel you express your insights very well into what I was trying to say. It’s a complex subject and one I was inspired to explore so thanks again for the positive feedback.

How do you know what his reasoning is? You presume, you project, you infer – that’s lazy thinking

Dangerous ground to think you know.
