Opinions on Osho?
    #24538403 -

Osho is a guru that gets mentioned semi-frequently around here, I am wondering what people's opinions of him is?

Interesting stuff :thumbup:
Quote:
Mind is always a bridge only of one thing, and that is your heart, because mind is basically meant to be a servant, but he has managed to become the master and the heart which was going to be the master has not even bothered to interfere and has allowed the mind to remain the master, but the mind is aware that any moment the heart wants, its mastery is gone.

So whenever the heart wants to say something, the fear arises in the minds, mind is very much afraid of love, mind is very much afraid of trust, mind is very much afraid of anything that has to do with the heart. Because its master is not part of the natures; heart is naturally the master, but this is the problem because the heart feels its mastery so definitely with such a certainty that it never asserts itself, there is no need, it is an intrinsic knowing in the heart that mind can be pushed aside any moment, and mind knows it perfectly well, that he is just a servant because the master is too gentlemanly and has allowed even the servant to pretend to be the masters, for the servant is a servant.

So whenever your heart wants to say something the mind starts to feel shaky, it wants the heart to remain completely dead, it wants man to become completely heartless, and it has succeeded all over the world to make people heart less.
But once in a while a few people escape from the slavery of the mind and start ascerting the rights of their hearts, this is the greatest revolution there is, the revolution by the heart against the mind.

He was very off-putting to me at first; I have a good sense for these things.  Markos will say a lot about him, in a negative way -- I ceased saying negative things about people many years ago, but there is a lot of incorrect about him -- Not as much as some of the others. . .

The main thing was -- or one of them -- he would simply collect a ton of Rolls' Royces.  Why -- Who knows. But those who deny that this world is real, have themselves severed their connection with Earth...  Sounds crazy huh.  But it's true -- anyway, like I say, I do not say have any criticism of him, simply that it is an incorrect way of behaving in the world, to do this kind of thing. 

Why -- it is very destructive.

Namaste and peace.

Better than, perhaps, Dogma. though. :smile:  :heart:

So in all and all - recently having come abreast of the horrid, and horrible nature of the caste system in India, I perhaps revise my opinion of him slightly -- just as those who dislike America would still have to admit, we (helped) save the world from a pretty ugly future in the early 1940's, and so on.

In other words, his eccentricity or faux pas in collecting tons of Rolls' Royce's can be seen in a more forgiving light, considering the rigidity and destructive nature of caste order which he was coming from, and rebelling against.

Not to mention the whole scheme to food poison The Dalles, OR... He was deported.....  and you can be sure he was burying his ashes in all the young women in the ashram...

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

O I c... yes that is not good at all.  First impressions can really be a good guide.

His name was Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, a psychopathic cult leader (see https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Guru-Strange-Journey-Rajneesh/dp/0828906300/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502398828&sr=8-1&keywords=the+golden+guru%2C+rajneesh) whose books were re-marketed with another name he had used at another time - Osho - after the name Rajneesh became associated with depravity, excess, and damage to his young and gullible acolytes.

Rajneesh held pro-Hitler sentiments based on his Aryan (Indian) heritage. He was a serial sex offender, for which there is ample testimony. He was accused of several high level crimes including the ordering of murder and of a biological attack on a neighboring town. The Wiki article below says that while these charges were initially greeted with skepticism, but eventuated confirmed. He amassed a fortune, including something like 64 Rolls Royce automobiles, and he sought to purchase and control a town in Wasco County, Oregon which was only briefly incorporated as a township, and populated by 1000 of his commune/cult members, before he was ousted from the United States. He died at age 58. Good riddance. I have known at least one seriously indoctrinated disciple who took a cult name from Rajneesh.

His associate Sheila was a scumbag too.  Put rattlesnakes in peoples mailboxes and was instrumental in the bioterrorism at the salad bar in The Dalles.

Regardless, just like Carlos Castaneda the cult scammer, there are those on here who worship suck people for their brainwashing apparently. 

I'm still a little pissed about the Carlos books what a fraudster.

why there is reality and patterned, law-like consistency at all, rather than noise or non-reality is not a question physics answers. It's a question physics presupposes an answer to in order to provide other answers.

Just because you were unable to master bilocation doesn't mean that others failed as well. :ohwell:

Might be a cultural thing because he did have a keen look in his eye. Might have just been high intelligence and the distance from mainstream culture that allowed him to turn something on - a little.

Yes, Sheela was a scumbag too, and a whole generation is pissed because on my early trips I too looked for earthy "power spots" and I too got inebriated and ran down treacherous embankments with the "gait of power" (no doubt appropriated from actual Tibetan Lung-gompas).
