Great post nycbullet21, I'm looking forward to what it turns up. When I think of India, (once I've overcome my cringing colonial guilt) there is one name which always rises to the top. Unfortunately, like many of his ilk, he was too dangerous to take seriously, so since we've got past the "nailing to a tree" phase of our development, we ridiculed and misreported his message. Turned him into a sex-mad charlatan, and gave our attention to those who seriously mis-understood his message. So what's new?
His books have affected me like no other, I read them again and again and they are always new.
Without their input and effect, my life would be an even greater muddle, and I would not be the fine woolly-minded, middle of the road, liberal anarchist that I am today. (Yes, he does humour too).
His appeal is very limited, so I don't expect anyone here to share my view, but thank you India, for Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, latterly known as Osho.
Sunbeem.
