Fatwa from Vatayana ???

2008-05-22T21:15:49Z

VATAYANA LETTER TO RUSSIAN OSHO CENTERS AND EUROPEAN OSHO CENTERS

Dear Sannyasin,

Since I have sent you the letter below (www.oshorajneesh.net/events.htm) we haven't heard back from you.I am now back in the Meditation Resort, Pune and again heard that in your OSHO Center you will accommodate eventsrun by the person Rajneesh www.oshorajneesh.net/ in the next weeks.

I want to be very open and let you know that people have sent us a list of places where this person which calls himself "Rajneesh" is traveling too.One of the places is also Yekaterinburg.

As mentioned below,please understand that these kind of eventsare not part of the understanding how Osho wanted his centers to operate.

He say's" ...a center should be a taste of this place ( Meditation Resort ,Pune )"and this person is at this point not welcome in the OSHO International Meditation Resortand has not and will not be invited to facilitate events or meditations in the Meditation Resort.

As explained in the center training once already is, that it's may be possible, that as an individual one may feel different, but as an OSHO center representative there is a need to understand what you have signed in the Letter of Understanding that ...

Osho speaks for himself, with no intermediary. He says: "I have no successor".

That's why an OSHO center is just providing the space forthe OSHO Meditations and / or some workshops with some therapistwho also work in the OSHO Multiversity Puneas they have a good understanding how Osho wanted his therapies presented.

I also heard, that you Sannyasin have been in the Pune.It's really a pity that you didn't come to our office to talk about these things and totake part in the center training as this could have given you a wider view and understandingwhy such events aren't part of the guidelines for OSHO centers.

Just in short –whenever we offer such events where someone creates a certain kind of energy –this may be liked by many people as it's maybe more easy for people to "let someone else" tell what to do, or "giving" you energy,but long-term and eventually is the experience, also what we hear from other places,that it misleads and confuses people - as the idea starts happening that one can have this kind of energyonly in the presents of such a person and this may create a dependency.

OSHO centers should offer the meditations, therapies, meditative therapies, as Osho has given and encourage people that they can make it for themselves. Because, as I heard Osho say something like,.. that if someone can give it to you, they can also can take it away from you. It would be really great to hear fr om you as soon as possible.

Love Vatayana

Rajneesh Tears of the Mystic Rose Osho Gold-copy came today

2008-05-15T16:11:54Z

And here it is, My book with HIS blessings... signed copy 88 Gold!
Osho’s image

Rajneesh Agrawal, 46, energetically raises his arms and quotes Gautam Buddha before lapsing into verse by Kahlil Gibran. Clad in maroon robes with a flowing beard and dark bulbous eyes, the resemblance to his master, the original Rajneesh/Osho is startling, and almost eerie. But then Rajneesh who dropped Agrawal from his name 30 years ago, has spent almost three decades devoted to his guru and has just written a book, Tears of the Mystic Rose, an autobiography that also talks about his experiences with Osho in the Pune commune.
“My father named me Rajnish, Bhagwan changed my name to Rajneesh,” he says, quietly proud of this connection to Osho. The son of a prominent industrialist, Shiv Agrawal, Rajneesh counts Lord Swraj Paul and the Paul family that runs the Apeejay Group among his first cousins. However, it’s his mother, the actress Vimmi who was serenaded by Sunil Dutt in Na sir jhuka ke jeeo, na munh chhupa ke jeeo, whom Rajneesh recalls fondly. “When my mother died, I left home and stayed with an aunt in Delhi where I started reading Bhagwan’s discourses,” he says. “I knew instinctively that’s where I belonged and I left for Pune immediately.” The year was 1981. Eventually, Rajneesh followed Osho to Oregon in the US and Manali, where he continued to live after Osho died, or as Rajneesh puts it, left his body. Now he divides his time between Pune and Delhi.

“I decided to write this book, because lots happened between Osho and me that no one knows about,” he claims mysteriously. A beautifully designed production, Tears of the Mystic Rose is far from typical; it has no punctuation or capital letters, and it opens vertically, like a scroll, deliberately, says Rajneesh, to open the readers’ “third eye”, and because all spiritual growth is vertical. In one chapter he talks of his divine experience of achieving Samadhi or enlightenment, and in another, he has drawn fantastic comparisons between Osho and himself. “My birthday is the day Osho left his body,” he explains and says it’s no coincidence that right after his Samadhi, Osho was released from prison. While he avoids spelling it out, it is clear Rajneesh believes he’s the reincarnation of Osho. The only dampener being that he’s banned from the Commune in Pune, nor has he managed to convince anyone of his deep connect with the Master.

In his Tears of the Mystic Rose, he has drawn on teachings by Mahavir and J Krishnamurti and emphasised the need for meditation for inner peace. “Once you experience the joy sanyas brings, everything else becomes irrelevant,” he says.

After being estranged from the Paul family, of late Rajnish is back in touch with them. They look at him with bemused tolerance, if not slight embarrassment. Rajneesh is unperturbed. “There’s more to life than money,” he says. His spiritual journey continues, and Rajneesh hopes to have an Ashram in Kerala soon. More than money, there’s fame to look out for.

Tears of the Mystic Rose is available at Osho World in Ansal Plaza for Rs 800

For and Against Swami Rajneesh

2008-05-15T13:43:58Z

Introduction
There is a Indian teacher who also gives satsang and leads groups in Russia who IS a disciple of Osho's, and calls himself Swami Rajneesh ( Lover of Osho like we all are). Recently he published a book in India called "Tears of the Mystic Rose" which allegedly makes challenging reading. Sannyasnews hope to review when a copy becomes available in the West. The book seems to have upset the popes of the "Inner Circle" the people who run Osho's temporal affairs in Pune and elsewhere (?). They published the following letter about the book. Swami Rajneesh's reply is also included below.

WORLDWIDE CIRCULAR SENT BY THE INNER CIRCLE

Pune, sent on January 15, 2008

Beloved Friends of the OSHO Centers and "Places to meditate", Some of you have reported that they got some promotional literature about " TEARS OF THE MYSTIC ROSE " from someone who calls himself " Swami Rajneesh " Just so you know this is just a local guruji play here in India. As Oshos says " In India there is one on every corner.... " This person is not granted entrance to the OSHO International Meditation Resort

Love, Vatayana. OSHO Global Connections

Swami Rajneesh replies to the Circular. 21 January 2008

To all my most beloved friends and fellow travellers as 19 January was my Beloved Master Osho's Mahaparinirvan day I choose to remain silent. : The inner circle message was sent on 15 January.

My book which is a mysterious love story between a master and a disciple was released on 19 January. This circle of dictators have not even read a single word of my book, Tears of the Mystic Rose. I challenge them to read it first and then send out an informed and intelligent message about me and the contents of the book

I have been a devotee and disciple of Osho for 26 years since 1981. After Osho left his body I remained silent and alone living in the Himalayas in Manali for 17 years without speaking or teaching or becoming a therapist or running any centre - simply alone and moving on my inner path silently. I have come back to Poona after 17 years existence and my love for Osho has made me come out into the world.

The Inner Circle letter: regarding : from someone who calls himself " Swami Rajneesh ". It who was Osho himself who changed my name from Swami Rajnish to Swami Rajneesh, just a few days before leaving his body Osho mysteriously pointed me out in the Buddha Hall in front of 5000 sannyasins, a secret and mystery which I have finally decided to reveal to the whole world. My story of love reveals all the mysteries I have mentioned in my website below. Read and challenge me, I am now available to all. Just so you know this is just a local guruji play here in India, As Osho says " In India there is one on every corner.... that I am playing guruji…even if I were to wrongly accept this label….ok !! Osho also says beware of dictators like Sheela and Hitlers and fascism.

What role is the inner circle playing ?? dictators ?? or facists ?? Osho dreamt of each and every street dancing with his sannyasins singing songs of love for their beloved master. Each of us are his dream and I am honored to dance on every street corner of India if I had to sing his song of love

That swami Rajneesh is banned from the ‘ resort ‘: ….great news… am I banned for one month or six months or 2 years or 10 years or 25 years or forever or one lifetime or the next two rebirths. Anyway I live with the best company of rebels - the outer circle of the banned misfits.

Remembrances of 19 January when Osho died is banned from the resort. Celebration of Osho birthday is banned from the resort. Celebration of Osho enlightment day is banned from the resort. Celebration of masters days is banned from the resort. Thousands of loving disciples are banned from the resort. 15 of the original of the inner circle themselves are banned from the resort. If they are the infallible popes of our enforcement resort then why are they all divided the original 21 are now 6.

Osho mala is banned from the resort. Osho pictures are banned from the resort. Osho songs of love are banned from the resort. The display of reverence and gratitude for our beloved master is banned from the resort bowing to the sacred Buddha hall is banned from the resort. The term samadhi is banned from the resort. The term ashram is banned from the resort. The term swami is banned from the resort. Namaste is banned from the resort. The buddha hall podium where our beloved master was brought for the last time for his last rites has been brutally destroyed and smashed where people today walk on this sacred holy podium with shoes and boots. The Samadhi marble memorial has been removed, his memorial photo loved all over the world has been replaced with a bronze head. Alcohol is flowing freely in the multiplaza where one pays thousands of dollars in therapies to grow towards consciousness, drunken sannyasins fall on the floor at Saturday nights plaza parties

Alcohol stinks 50 meters from the sacred Samadhi, 25 meters from Buddha hall, foul cigarette smell floats hundreds of meters around. This is the dream of our great master Osho being taken care of by the inner circle. They should be personally standing at the gate receiving each and every loving seeker of truth with a welcome and a song receiving each and every sannyasin with warmth and compassion. The higher the person in authority the greater is his responsibility to be conscious of his actions. The inner circle has been given the mandate to take care of mundane matters only. They do not possess even an iota of power to interfere into spiritual considerations

The barbaric destruction of the Buddha hall is not a mundane matter. The removal of the marble memorial is not a mundane matter.The aggressive snatching and banning of wearing of the mala is not a mundane matter. Removing his photos is not a mundane matter. Barring expressions of gratitude is not a mundane matter. Not allowing his song to be sung is not a mundane matter

A member of the inner circle Yogendra ( Darcey O' Brien ) dared to state in the New York Times: “someone comes in and there are, like, 1,000 pictures of this dead guy and they're like - Whoa, get me out of here “ Osho is that dead guy - enough of this bullshit

Now who are these 21 retarded monkeys. We are millions of sannyasins silent to the misuse of power and domination by the retarded. The food voucher states “just a meeting place for friends “ - is this a barrista coffee shop. This is a sacred space….not a place but a temple for fellow travelers seeking the truth. All rebels in our sannyasin world should ban the term resort. Osho only said make the ashram with resort like facilities. It is not an ashram, it is not a commune, it is not a resort, it is a Temple. Oshos Temple of Love. Each and every sannyasin has the right to protect and to question spiritual considerations. A huge fire and rebellious debate is needed to determine the actual powers vested in these retarded, ungrateful and loveless inner circle. They have the power to ban. They should learn real power - the power to love.

Yes, we Indians are stupid devotional types and gratefully remember and dedicate our lives to his flame of love: we are free to express our religiousness
our gratitude in any way we wish, we will protect our freedom of expression of religiousness.

Sannyasins are not sheep, that you create the fear of banning, this is the lowest form of blackmail. Osho says do not make a religion out of me where did he say expression of religiousness was barred.

So wake up, you have been given time with compassion. The inner circle beware of your actions grow up and act consciously, behave humanly, you are merely caretakers of mundane matters, not masters.

Swami Rajneesh

Rajneesh Master of Silence BUDDHAM SHARANAM GACHCHHAMI

2008-05-10T15:18:44Z

Rajneesh Master of Silence BUDDHAM SHARANAM GACHCHHAMI

www.oshorajneesh.net

***

Buddham Sharanam Gachchhami

Sangham Sharanam Gachchhami

Dhamman Sharanam Gachchami

I Bow to the feet of the Master

I bow to the Sannyasins of the Master

I Bow to the Ultimate Truth of the Master

***

I surrender to the Master.
The Master is such a magnetic force that your surrender to the master becomes your protection; hence it is called the shelter. Then you are secure, then you are guarded, then you are protected. Then your hand is in those hands which know where to take you, what direction to give to you.

The second thing is the commune. Each buddha creates a commune, because without a commune a buddha cannot function. A commune means his energy field, a commune means the people who have become joined with him, a commune means an alternate society to the ordinary mundane society which goes after spurious comforts -- it is there available to everybody.

A small oasis in the desert of the world is what is meant by a commune created by a buddha -- a small oasis in which life is lived with a totally different gestalt, with a totally different vision, with a totally different goal; where life is lived with purpose, meaning, where life is lived with method -- even though to the outsiders it may look like madness, but that madness has a method in it -- where life is lived prayerfully, alert, aware, awake; where life is not just accidental, where life starts becoming more and more a growth in a certain direction, towards a certain destination; where life is no more like driftwood.

And the third is the dhamma. Dhamma means truth. Buddha represents the dhamma in two ways: one, through his communication, verbal, and second, through his presence, through his silence, through his communion: nonverbal.

The verbal communication is only an introduction for the nonverbal. The nonverbal is an energy communication. The verbal is only preparatory; it simply prepares you so you can allow the master to communicate with you energywise, because energywise it is really moving into the unknown.

Energywise it needs great trust, because you will be completely unaware where you are going -- aware that you are going somewhere, aware that you are being led somewhere, aware that something is happening of tremendous import; but what exactly it is you don't yet have the language for, you don't have any experience to recognize.

You will be moving into the uncharted.

The buddha represents dhamma, truth, in two ways. Verbally he communicates with the students; nonverbally, through silence, through energy, he communicates with the disciples.

And then there comes the ultimate unity where neither communication nor communion is needed, but oneness has been achieved -- where the master and the disciple become one, when the disciple is just a shadow, when there is no separation.

These are the three stages of growth: student, disciple, devotee, OSHO!

Controversial banned book.....'TEARS of THE MYSTIC RoSE'

2008-05-06T13:54:13Z

Controversial banned book of Swami Rajneesh is igniting the osho sannyasins again to come together again and form a buddha field... this looks like a new phase in the osho sannyas world which always talks about buddhahood.

swami rajneesh talks about many mysteries in his much liked book 'TEARS of THE MYSTIC RoSE'....
like Black magic on osho, why osho left this body suddenly, how jiddu krishnamurti was involved in osho making this decision of leaving body suddenly, transmission of lamp done by osho, how osho went beyond enlightenment, what is the role of therapies in seeker's path and when therapies can act as a hindarance, where is buddha's body (maitreya) today... where is osho's real inner circle... why ashram(commune) was painted black....

many osho disciples have got enlightened but were not coming in open but now they may join together to make a buddhafield to help seeker on any path.

energy created by osho sannyasins to meditate is always open for seekers from any path.
infact buddhahood is our real nature.... osho or buddha or ramana or ramakrishna or nisargaddata or gurdjieff or jesus are just devices to take us towards meditation and realize our true nature.

Why i don't want to be Buddha?

2008-04-21T15:44:40Z

I was reading the books of Osho and also various other stuff on internet.

Each individual is unique and so was Buddha. He could leave his wife and child and move in search of enlightenmet. Is it possible for me to get enlightment without leaving my house?

Looking for your comments....

I am Salamander and am happy just to be. This concept intrigues me. I've always thought of myself in this vein. Its a kind of crazy love for all beings. To me enlightenment is a continous process in which we are always and growing. I love to meditate before I go out to party.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

2008-03-20T00:21:46Z

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Past away tuesday. See my blog for pic.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was Guru of the Transcedental Meditation and lived in Vlodrop, the Netherlands. "All the rivers of the world gather in Vlodrop," he once said. The Flow and the Drop.

Namaste Maharishi.

Maybe chat a bit about him here?

I have never seen him in life allthough he lived nearby. As you know I was in the other camp, Osho's camp. Osho always made fun of him, but I think they where the same level. Maharishi has his special audience, highly intelectual people and they do very well... and Maharishi didn't get the mess Osho got with his followers... They where ONE ... I think they are on a beerbooze right now!!!

I was looking for some nice quotes these days of Maharishi but didn't find any. What he sais is right the same as Osho did, but Osho's words taste better for me. His teaching and website are a bit boring and highly intelectual as Osho was more fun and down to earth. Now comparing is not necesary (but I did) they taught the same: MEDITATE you dog!
And Maharishi seemt to giggle lovely with every question, I'm sorry I never seen him.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Quotes
"Having the Kingdom of Heaven within you, you have no right to suffer in life, you only have to enjoy the grace of God.”

"Bliss becomes blissful with practice. In our own bliss the desire, desirer and process of desiring are united—they are one. Desire is fulfilled at its source.” Maharishi, July 2005

"When a man has risen to cosmic consciousness, then his state is like that of an ever-full and steady ocean. This state of absolute bliss is the goal of all desires in life.”
Maharishi, from ‘Thirty Years Around the World.’

"Adopt the standard of perfection, because it is a perfect universe. ” – Maharishi, 1989.

"The experience of happiness is a direct means of replenishing life energy and revitalizing the mind.”
– Maharishi, The Science of Being and Art of Living, 1963.

"Identification of the human mind with the field which is infinitely unified in itself—that is the formula for world peace.”

"Attend to your own inner health and happiness. Happiness radiates like the fragrance of a flower and draws all good things towards you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others.

"The only sensible defence strategy today is to be so powerful that one has the natural ability to spontaneously stop the birth of an enemy.
'Maharishi's Invincible Theory of Defence', published 1996

"Hard labour to succeed in the world? Hard labour no, no, human constitution, human physiology, human intelligence is made of infinite creative potential of Natural Law and therefore no-one has to work hard for success. "

If we are able to meet these two requirements - regularity in meditation and leading a good life in society, day-to-day a good life - then nothing would be unattainable by us
. from 'Thirty years Around the World'.

"With this (the Global Maharishi Effect) the 2000 year old gospel of suffering is soon coming to an end, and new civilisation, Vedic Civilisation of enlightenment and fulfilment, is dawning."

"Guru Purnima is the day of infinite correlation. It is the day of supreme knowledge; it is the day of Brahman; it is the day of Guru; Guru Purnima, the fullness of Guru Dev; the fullness of the element of Guru, the fullness of pure knowledge.

I think it's a bit boring, but he did great I think!

Namaste Maharishi.

ZEITGEIST
the movie : Official Release
www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

Thank you for your interest in Zeitgeist.
Zeitgeist was created as a not for profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world
from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the
population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period
of research and the current Source page on this site lists the sources used / referenced.
Soon, an interactive transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links.

It's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are
counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained
by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance,
very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet
draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book
Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes
the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is
based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film
are found on the Clarifications page.

That being said, it is my hope that people will not take what is said
in the film as the truth, but find out for themselves, for truth is not told, it is realized.

Thank you

CONCERT FOR INDIA'S ENVIRONMENT FILM

2007-05-17T22:25:53Z

Friends,
I'd like to share the film I have just finished.
It blends footage from a series of multimedia concerts recorded live at the Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Environmental Education and Awareness (BVIEER), Pune, India in 2004 with:
*Poems on nature, composed and read by Indian schoolchildren
*Interviews with environmentalists and educators
*Stunning footage of scenery, wildlife and peoples from all over India.
It aims to evoke feelings of reverence for the wonders of India’s nature, and respect for the peoples who have lived alongside them and preserved so much of them over countless generations.
It is inspired by Osho's words from 'The Path of the Mystic' #34
"The new humanity will have an ecology in which nature is not to be conquered but lived and loved. We are part of it - how can we conquer it?"
You can view the film on

Do you ever wonder about wonder?
Do you ever wonder,
until you come to some conclusion,
and then you wonder some more,

And then continue to wonder
about wonder it self?

Rajneesh English Books Complete Collection on CD-ROM

2007-01-07T14:13:39Z

Die to the past. Live in the moment.
Mind is a bundle of thoughts. Mind goes into the past as memories. Or it goes into future as imaginations. Go beyond mind.
Accept yourself unconditionally.

Love him or leave him. There is no go between. Look into his eyes and you are blown away. Listen to his words and your mind is no more. There is infected freedom from all conditionings of mind and society.
The sparks of insights from Rajneesh made people mesmerised and drew many thousands to him. The best of humanity sat at his feet to listen to his wors of wisdom.

Rajneesh's books are source of solace and insight to most people with all hues and colors. His books collection in its entirety will form a library of its own.

Many of us have good number of Osho's books collected over the years. Carrying these books on tours, travels and transfers is often cumbersome. It is also difficult to remember in which book and page those inspiring and transforming passages and words were read and underlined. Even bookmarks are often difficult to locate in print editions.

Also the collection can be never complete due to out of print or out of stock situations.

How about having a CD-ROM containing entire library of Bhagwan's book collection. Which we can carry with us on our travels and tours. Also it is easy to locate any word, topic with the full text search function with a click of the mouse.

CD-ROM of complete works, books, writingsof Osho---ever published and unpublished can be your lifelong source of solace, guidance and reference on what Osho ever spoke on consciouseness and on day to day mundane issues like sex, intimacy, relationships, courtship, family, wife and husband, girlfriends, art of living, life, love and laughter, and so many other things answering to all types of questions put to him by the people who came to listen to him.

CRUISE THE MED...DOCUMENTARY FILM MAKING

2006-11-23T05:42:10Z

Beginning in March next year, we are inviting 9 people to cruise from Bodrum, Turkey along the Turkish coast, Cyprus, Athens, Alexandria on a share expenses basis (very, very inexpensive). We began a documentary in Paris and Turkey last year, and now as it gets warmer in Turkey we are going to complete it. We have a US distributor, and everyone involved will share in profits. It could be quite profitable for you and a real life changer. We are in pre-production of three others...one on black jazz in Paris after WWII until now. We have a Turkish captain/crew/cook on our 70' Gulet, 6 double staterooms still available, all with their own head (toilet and shower). Qualifications? Simply to be able to get along with people. Age? Our producer is 60, our editor is 25. Age inmaterial if you are young in spirit. If you have video experience (HD MiniDV PAL and Final Cut Pro, writing) all the better, but we are doing this to perhaps expand the focus of our documentary which is based on the mystical aspects of Alexander the Great - Title: Force of Evidence. Creative people get free reign as long as they don't sink the ship or the project. We are interested to add some human interest...profound, provocative, funny...to the program, so film making experience in not a requirement. Come for a week or two months. Email me for details.

Hi, very, *very* green newcomer here, but this looks interesting and fun. I have a couple favorite "enlightened masters," but I must admit close to total ignorance of those mentioned here. So, I'm out of my comfort zone a bit, and it will feel good to stretch. Somewhere in here, Prayoga said, "Be yourself, thats all there is," and that's really all I needed to hear.

•U.G. Krishnamurti video's "There is nothing happening..."

www.ugkrishnamurti.org/ug/ug_...ex.html

Check them out. What 3d shift, what 5th dimension. What ascension? Krishnamurti is speaking from my heart again in this video's. There is no change going on, there is only our willingness for change. Why change? Why learn? Why effort to grow? Have you ever seen a willow going to a seminar for his growing? No, either it grows or not. Both is fine. Well here is dissident Prayoga again... see some video's

Until today I never whatched video's from Krishnamurti but today he really caught my eye. Well just have a look. He is lovely as OSHO as ...

The goose is out, 3 march 1981

2006-06-26T16:49:31Z

(just am translating into dutch.. would love to share...LOL) Exactly the good reading for me.
The second question

Question 2
OSHO, I AM A HOMOSEXUAL CATHOLIC AND BADLY SUFFER FROM STUTTERING. CAN YOU HELP ME OUT OF MY MESS?

Gyaneshwar, the first thing you should get out of is your Catholicism; that is the real mess. Homosexuality is not such a big problem, it is not a problem at all, in fact. It is part of human freedom. There is nothing wrong if two persons choose a certain style of sexual relationship; it should be nobody's business. But the priests and the politicians are poking their noses into everything! They create guilt in you -- absolutely unnecessary.
If two men are in love, what is wrong in iR What harm are they doing to anybody? In fact, they look happier than the heterosexuals; that's why they are called "gay." This is strange: I never see lesbians looking gay -- they look sad, they look very serious -- but homosexuals always look very gay, very sweet, really honey.
I have been wondering what is the matter, why are lesbians not so happy? Maybe they cannot enjoy nagging, which has been an eternal joy for the woman. In fact, without their nagging I don't think anybody would ever have become religious. All your saints are the by-product of nagging. All your saints should be immensely grateful to women: they have driven them to be spiritual! They did not leave any possibility for them IN the world; they had to escape to the monasteries. They say they are going in search of God; in fact, they are simply going away from the wife. They were cowards.
Lesbians don't look very happy. Something is missing, and that something seems to be they cannot torture each other. They understand each other perfectly well, and because they understand each other very well there is no mystery left.
Man lives in the head, the woman lives in the heart. The heart can rejoice only when there is something very mysterious, something like a koan: the goose in the bottle. Neither the bottle has to be broken nor the goose has to be killed, and it has to be taken out too. The heart enjoys the mysterious; the head is not interested in the mysterious, it is interested in the puzzling, in the riddling. Any riddle, any puzzle, and the head is interested. The approach of the head is logical.
To a man the woman is mysterious; to connect with the woman he has to come to his heart, and he lives in the head. Hence the woman always remains a trouble. He cannot understand her, he cannot explain what is happening, he cannot explain it away either. He has to live with a mystery, and that is a constant pain in his neck; it is beyond his grasp.
But with a man things are simple: both are logical. They understand the language, they understand logic, they understand mathematics, calculation. At the most the man is just a new question to be solved -- not a mystery to be lived but a question to be solved; a problem which can be solved, which is not impossible to solve. That keeps them interested, that keeps them intrigued. Hence I see homosexuals looking gay. Lesbians look very sad.
And one more thing happens: homosexuals become more feminine and they start having a certain beauty, a certain "niceness" about them, a certain roundness, a grace. The lesbian becomes manly, she starts losing her feminine grace; she becomes masculine, aggressive, hard. Hence, Gyaneshwar, if you were a woman it would have been a problem and I would have helped you to come out of it. But you are a man. Why bother? Why make much out of a simple thing? If you are enjoying a relationship with a man, enjoy it!
The Christian God himself seems to be homosexual -- the whole trinity consists of three men. How they are managing it nobody knows -- not a single woman! Only the Holy Ghost is a little suspect -- maybe the Holy Ghost is bisexual? Ghosts can do any kind of thing! Otherwise the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost -- what kind of trinity is this? It is very homosexual! They have not allowed a single woman to be in it, just to keep out of trouble. One woman would have destroyed the whole trinity; it would have become a real triangle!
So homosexuality is not a problem. We should start looking at real problems and should not be concerned about unreal problems. There are real problems to be solved. And this is a trick of the human mind: to create unreal problems so that you become occupied with them while real problems go on growing. And this is an old strategy: politicians, priests, so-called religious leaders go on giving you pseudo problems to solve so that you become occupied with the pseudo.
The problem in itself is meaningless, the problem is not a problem at all, but how much fuss has gone on down the ages about homosexuality! There are countries where people are still killed for homosexual acts, murdered, sentenced to jail for their whole lives. Strange world! This is a twentieth-century world? Homosexuality is not a problem at all; there are thousands of real problems to be solved. But man has to be kept engaged with toys.
My effort is to withdraw all your attention from toys so that you can focus on the real problems of life; and if you focus on the real problems of life they can be solved. Now, I don't see how homosexuality becomes a problem. How does it become a problem? Why should it be of concern to anybody? A love affair is two individuals' private concern; it is THEIR intimacy, it is not a social phenomenon.
And, in fact, it will help the world population if more people turned homosexual. It will be good, very good for the world: less people will be born, the earth will be less burdened, there will be less poverty. Of course, less orphans and less Mother Teresas! There will be less need for contraceptives, birth control methods, sterilization, and of course the whole business of the Polack Pope will go out of his hands. That is his whole business! For one year continuously he has been talking against contraceptives, against birth control, sterilization, abortion. Homosexuality can solve all these problems simply!
So I don't see there is much of a problem in it. The only problem is your Catholicism.

Rodney, the eldest son of a respectable Boston family, announced to his shocked father that he intended to live with his swishy boyfriend on Beacon Hill.
"Damn it, Rodney," the parent responded, "our family came over with John Winthrop, and we've never had a scandal such as this."
"I can't help it, father, I love him."
"But for God's sake, son, he's Catholic!"

That is the true problem! Come out of your Catholicism. And when I say come out of your Catholicism, I mean come out of all kinds of stupid ideologies and start living life as if you are Adam and Eve -- the first man on the earth, the first woman on the earth. Start afresh, from scratch.
And as far as your stuttering is concerned, what is wrong in it? It may just be because you have made such a problem out of homosexuality that you are stuttering. Stuttering -- I have watched it in many people -- comes in a state of stress, tension.
When I was a student in the university, my neighbor... a young man, beautiful man, healthy, in every way intelligent, and I had never seen him stuttering. Once his father visited him and he immediately started stuttering -- before the father. I could not believe what was happening. The moment the father left he was perfectly okay. I asked him.
He said, "This is a problem. When I go back home, I cannot avoid stuttering before my father and mother. It happens... the more I try to avoid it the more it happens. Even when my father's letter comes and I start reading it, I suddenly feel a trembling. I cannot read my father's letter without stuttering. Otherwise I am perfectly okay."
So I said to him, "So it is not a question of stuttering; there is some stress, some tension. The father is heavy on you and he regresses you back towards your childhood, back to your old fears, and those fears start overcoming your intelligence."
I said to him, "Do one thing: next time your father comes, try to stutter with every word!"
He said, "How is that going to help?"
I said, "You try. Don't try not to stutter, on the contrary try to stutter. Make every effort that not a single word should come out without stuttering!"
He said, "What are you suggesting? I have been doing just the opposite and have failed utterly, and your method seems to be such that it is bound to create more troubles for me!"
I said, "Give it a try."
And the father came, and I was there, and he tried it -- and he could not stutter!
There are a few things which happen only if you try; there are a few things which happen only if you DON'T try, because the very effort comes out of fear and if fear is the cause then the effort cannot help.
Hypnotherapists call it "the law of the reverse effect."
If you are learning to ride a bicycle you may be on a sixty-foot-wide road, absolutely empty, nobody on the road, and then you see a milestone by the side of the road, and suddenly your cycle starts moving towards that milestone for no reason at all. You start feeling afraid, you try to avoid the milestone. Now, on a sixty-foot-wide road even a blind man has only a rare chance of hitting the milestone, but you will try hard, and the more you try the more you will become focused. Now the whole road disappears, there is only that milestone just standing there like Hanumanji, the monkey god, giggling at you, making faces at you, attracting you like a magnetic force. And you are doing every act that you can do to avoid it, but you are going... you know you are going. It is unavoidable! The more unavoidable you feel it is, the more energy you put into it. You become tense. The whole world has shrunken to Hanumanji... and the crash!
This is one of the fundamental laws of life. Homosexuality may be the cause, but it is not homosexuality really but your attitude to it, your approach to it. You are making a problem out of it; then there will be trouble.
My suggestion, Gyaneshwar, is: stutter beautifully -- make stuttering songs! You will enjoy, others will enjoy, and that's what we are here for.

"Have faith and ye shall be healed!" intoned the evangelist at the revival meeting. A woman on crutches and a man came forward. The evangelist asked, "What is your name, my good woman?"
"I'm Mrs. Smith," she answered, "and I haven't been able to walk without crutches for twenty years."
"Well, Mrs. Smith," he said, "go behind that screen and pray."
Turning to the man, he asked, "What is your name?"
"My name ith Thamuelth," he answered, "and I have alwayth thpoken with a lithp."
"All right, Mr. Samuels," the evangelist said, "go behind that screen with Mrs. Smith and pray."
After several minutes had passed, the revivalist announced, "I think the time has come. Witness these miracles. Mrs. Smith, throw your left crutch over the screen." The audience gasped as it sailed over. "Mrs. Smith, throw your right crutch over the screen." The crowd cheered as the second crutch appeared.
Encouraged, the evangelist commanded, "Mr. Samuels, say something in a loud, clear voice, so we can all hear you."
Samuels answered, "Mithuth Sthmith jutht fell on her ath!"

So what is wrong in it? It is a far greater miracle! So don't be worried about unnecessary things. Stutter joyously, enjoy it, and there is a possibility that you may stop stuttering -- beware of it! If you don't want to stop it then don't listen to me, you just go on trying not to stutter.
My suggestion is stutter, and don't be a miser. Fill the whole place with stuttering! Whomsoever you meet, stutter -- don't miss an opportunity. Even the words that you can speak well don't speak well, stutter! And you may be surprised that once you relax, once you start enjoying, once the tension is dropped, stuttering may disappear. If it disappears, good; if it does not disappear there is no harm in it. It is innocent!
Take life as easily as possible. But people don't understand me. I say to them, "Life is a mystery. It is not to be solved but to be lived." And somebody has asked me, "Osho, when you said that, I heard, "Life is a MISERY, not to be solved but to be lived." That is up to you. To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as "misery."
Don't make unnecessary problems for yourself, so that your whole energy can become focused on the essential problem. And the essential problem is only one: Know thyself.

Who disagrees with the Master???

2006-06-06T08:42:01Z

rené aksed in OSHO-tribe
Disagree with Osho
Osho is awesome, perfect and also imperfect; i would like to hear about the times when members of this tribe disagree with Osho. Granted it may be very rare occurrence but if you think for yourself, as Osho would want you to do, it must happen once in a while...
for instance i think his crediting christian monastic life for the emergence of homosexuality lacks biological validity. since homosexuality is observable in other animals, it did not start with human cultural institutions.
have you found something in his speeches or writtings you disagree with? why?
***
Great topic Rene...
Let me quote you first:
>> his crediting christian monastic life for the emergence of homosexuality lacks biological validity. since homosexuality is observable in other animals, it did not start with human cultural institutions.<<
I as homosexual sannyasin in the old days have never felt offended by Osho’s words. My biggest support was a Darshan Dairy back from the 70s where a Dutch homosexual sannyasin got his name and Mala and asked the question.
>>Bhagwan replayed it was totally OK, you have to be Yourself. “When I speak out against homosexuality, don't listen, that words are NOT for you! It's only to make a point.” <<
from the book: "The Zero Experience"
Homosexuality with animals has nothing to do with human sexuality. In fact human sexuality can not be explained by observing animals because awareness is involved.
Later on when Bhagwan went real high against homosexuality and AIDS he still was totaly right, how hurtfull it was for me to hear and I left the sannyas-tribe, but am still with the Master. His words where MORE THEN TO THE POINT. I was at the meeting with Sheela in Amsterdam where the condom and handgloves rules where explained and I can say Bhagwan was the first (and the last) who gave a final sollution for the AIDS problem. That he used my homosexuality to scare all off was only good. He made his point more then clear in 1 minute.
I can still hear the laughter of the gay-scene in Amsterdam 1982 when I proposed condoms in gay-sex. Most of them are dead now.
The MAIN point is in my opinion is, never quote Bhagwan, Osho!!! I dont know about the past Oregon times but in my time he made always clear: "All what I will say, I will deny afterward." So that the result of his teachings was a Total Nothing.
That’s what I learned: The Zero Experience.
The translations in the deeds of the followers are quite another thing. But I could always taste if the coffee was made by Bhagwan or by kitchen-staff. And having seen Sheela again after all these years I think the Master was Great!!! We are only puppets trying to cut the strings...LOL

LOVE
Prayoga

Do you know the meaning of the name Zorba?

2006-05-24T02:05:47Z

Zorba is a Greek name meaning ‘Live Each Day’

The word Buddha comes from Sanskritt and means 'one who is fully enlightened'.

So Zorba the Buddha means Live Each Day Fully Enlightened’

And if you wonder about my name…

Ziv is a Hebrew word meaning Shining Brightly

My mantra is to Live Each Day Shining Brightly.

Bhagwan the REAL Zorba the Buddha!!!!

2006-05-20T21:35:22Z

Totaly new for me, not undoing anything to His teachings this reveals something for me...
read the whole story at: http://home.att.net/~meditation/Osho.html

This is only a copy and paste part....

Rajneesh used prescription drugs, mainly Valium (diazepam), as an analgesic for his aches and pains and to counter the symptoms of dysautonomia (dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system). He took the maximum recommended dose of 60 milligrams per day. Rajneesh also inhaled nitrous oxide (N2O) mixed with pure oxygen (see Osho in the Dental Chair), which he claimed increased his creativity (see dangers of N2O). The nitrous oxide probably did relieve the sensation of severe exhaustion and suffocation patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome often feel, but it did nothing for the quality of his judgment. Naive about the powerful effects of drugs and overconfident about his own ability to fight off their negative effects, Rajneesh succumbed to addiction.

A number of disciples have claimed that Rajneesh was so intoxicated at his Oregon ranch in the 1980s that he sometimes urinated in the halls of his own home, just as heroin addicts and common drunks often do. I believe this to be true as the last time I saw Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh he was inebriated to the point of becoming physically ugly. He had the same washed-out look and foolish behavior I had witnessed in addicts while working at a methadone clinic in the United States. Rajneesh had miraculous mental powers, but he was an ordinary human being physically and could not tolerate the devastating effects of large doses of tranquilizers.

On top of Rajneesh's physical illness, his massive intake of Valium caused paranoia and greatly reduced reasoning power. Valium addicts often think the CIA or other unseen villains are plotting against them, so it is not surprising that he imagined he was poisoned by the United States Government. His reasoning power became so damaged that Rajneesh actually considered moving to Russia to combine his totalitarian form of spirituality with Russian communism, an idea no sane man could possibly entertain. Historically, Valium has been the drug of choice for CFS sufferers as it masks the unnerving symptoms of dysautonomia and helps bring sleep. Rajneesh suffered from insomnia, yet another classic symptom of CFS.

Rajneesh was a physically ill man who became mentally corrupt. His brief experimentation with LSD only made matters worse. Rajneesh's drug use and addiction was a problem of his own making, not a government conspiracy. Rajneesh died in 1990 with heart failure listed as the official cause of death. It is probable that the physical decline Rajneesh experienced during his incarceration in American jails was due to a combination of withdrawal symptoms from Valium and an aggravation of his ME/CFS due to stress and exposure to allergens.

After Rajneesh's humiliation and downfall in America, he declared that he was "Jesus crucified by Ronald Reagan's America." In truth, Rajneesh was a drug addicted guru who self-destructed through his own wrong actions. Comparing himself to Jesus was doubly dishonest as he himself had no respect for Jesus. He once undiplomatically proclaimed to the American media that everything Jesus said was "just crazy."

Three Lifetimes TAROT

2006-05-19T03:09:25Z

Two third of mankind believes in reincarnation as a possibility. In Hinduism and Buddhism reincarnation is an essential part of their religion. Bad tongues tell that reincarnation was whipped out of the Christian belief in medieval church reformations. Christianity also believes in an afterlife in heaven. Jesus is even supposed to come back from heaven. And he was just man among men. So we can say that reincarnation at least is a working concept. At least for a big deal of humanity it is.

And then came the modern quantum physics with theories that time doesn’t exist. Time is only a concept, just as reincarnation is a concept to understand the world around us. So what happens if time doesn’t exist and al is a “Big Great Now”. I think this evolution of thinking makes memories of past life existence more available for al of us then it was 100 years ago. So if we are living in the “Big Great Now” we can also “remember next lives. You stretch your mind to next existences on this planet.

Already in 1989 I designed inspired by the Haindl TAROT my Three Lifetimes TAROT. The Reading describes three of your incarnations. One past incarnation, the incarnation you call your life now and a next possible life. It can broader your vision on your present life by seeing connections with past and future incarnations. You see a past life leading to your present life floating in a next incarnation.

The Three Lifetimes TAROT can help you realize what happens when your present life floats in a future existence. You can study juvenile life in a past life connected with your present youth, seeing how you will do next time. You see a developing of three young people, all you at the same time. You can see the three presents, your age in a past life, now and your age in a next life. And you can see how three existences lead to an end. Your present 21 century old age, how it was in a past life and in a next.

Besides the“Big Great Now” I use the concept of “Free Will” in my Readings. The Three Lifetimes TAROT can help you gain insight where a development goes in a not whished direction. “Free Will” is a main principle in modern TAROT and Astrology. This makes The Three Lifetimes TAROT a tool to make better choices in life. You can even concentrate The Three Lifetimes TAROT in your present 21th century existence.

Three cards what represent your past life can also represent your present youth. Cumulated in the card of this life’s past. Then we have the central NOW card, the essence of The Three Lifetimes TAROT; can be broadened with past and future “present”. The one card for your present future is the shortcut for the three cards to come. Now you have a multitude of opportunities to change your life. Moments to regain control over your life.

The Three Lifetimes TAROT can be used for a diagnostic tool to check chakra’s when you suffer energy problems or illnesses. You have a view where health is found, what there is to retrieve and what unfavourable factors there are to avoid with your Free Will. The Three Lifetimes TAROT is a source of information and possibilities on physical, spiritual and social level. It gives you insight in life and offers possibilities and choices. The Three Lifetimes TAROT can liberate you from stuck patterns.

The Three Lifetimes TAROT, tool for insight and choices. The Future is in your Hands.

Shakespeare Sonnet-a-Day - March 16, 2006

2006-03-17T00:56:02Z

Sonnet #1
I.

***

FROM fairest creatures we desire increase,

That thereby beauty's rose might never die,

But as the riper should by time decease,

His tender heir might bear his memory:

***

But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,

Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel,

Making a famine where abundance lies,

Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.

***

Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament

And only herald to the gaudy spring,

Within thine own bud buriest thy content

***

And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.

Pity the world, or else this glutton be,

To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

***

Opera Night: "Rheingold"

2006-02-26T00:09:38Z

Hear the music read the story and if you are there look at my paintings and coment them PLEASE!

"Rheingold" modern economy and Spiritual Teaching
I get my spiritual lessons in al sorts. One of them is Opera. My dearest example is “Rheingold” from Wagner. Actually Rheingold is not an Opera but a vorspiel: an introduction. It’s the introduction to the cyclus “Der Ring des Niebelungen”. Rheingold only lasts about 3 hours which is short for Wagner but enough for me. I like Opera at home on video with a beer or whine, a stop when I want it and a replay as I please.

OK I was talking spiritual crab: Rheingold, the gold in the river Rhine. The story is quite simple, the Gods want a Castle to live in and arrange two Giants to build it. As a reward they pay with their sister in law Freia. What a way to get rid of the bitch. They forgot that Freia takes care of the Apples of Eternal Youth, so when the bitch is gone, the Gods lose their radiance... read more:

The Big Muddy Ranch, or: Animal Farm.

2006-02-16T23:15:07Z

See pix and the history of a desreted valey in Oregon: http://www.wasco-history.r9esd.k12.or.us/comm/bigmuddy.html

Animal Farm by George Orwell,

Being an actor, I more and more, read, direct and find plays and movies who are written before they are made true...
Animalfarm is the story of the Rajneeshbusiness in America in short. I don't blame the farmer in Orwell's nor do I blame Rajneesh, NO: I Blame The Pigs. But I might be or become one myself.

Read your litrature, enjoy life, see what happens, and COMMEND on it.
