That's Jesus opinion about this: For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is proved right by her deeds."

Watching it right now. :-) I watched the first episode. And I was going to say that is good to see it with an open mind. At least the first episode shows that Osho's idea was really good. There's testimony of people who were with him, they are the main "actors" in this doc. They went to talk with Sheela that was her most immediate secretary, helper, advisor, etc. She is telling us her version of the events. I don't see something biased against Osho in the documentary, at least in the first episode. What I am trying to say is that everyone will have his own interpretation. I am seeing it and I don't see nothing wrong about the Ashram Osho's did. I wouldn't go to a place like that, but because I don't think is my path to be there in a commune. But for others can be good. IDK. There's parts where they show Osho handcuffed. You have to options... one is to think "Did you see? I was right! Osho was an impostor!" Or you can think... "Ok, maybe he was a threat to society and someone made a trap to send him to jail" You don't have to assume without even watching it that is something bad against him. It is not. And I wanted to add that I think Osho's teachings are really good and mindbending. But I also want to know all aspects of his life. Because is really an awesome life that he had. I didn't have idea he was such a powerful leader.

Ok, that makes a bit more sense to me... anyway is a topic I would like to understand more deeply. :-)

Lmao!

I don't agree with the idea of Evil Enlightened people, but I may be wrong.

Exactly what I was pointing to, thanks @SFRL

That proves nothing. Anyway, I am not condemning him or saying he's good or bad for having a Rolls Royce, I just say... DON'T FOLLOW ANYONE.

I don't know if the media misled. I don't know if he's greedy or not. I find his teachings good, I often listen to them and I go to his website. But... I don't believe anything the media says or even what he says. He can say that he did it to make fun of materialism, if that's true, great for him. The only thing I say is don't believe in anyone, don't follow anyone. You can see the video with an open mind and see what others have to say about him and draw your own conclusions. You never know.

So, are you saying that the media "created" or "fabricated" that video where you can see him entering the ashram in a Rolls Royce?

One more documentary about him here: http://watch.opb.org/video/2306839650/

Okey, here you have it!

I have a more deep connection with the new Leo, but IMO there's no big difference btw the "new" and the "old".

I think if it wasn't for "suffering" we would never look for "God/Reality/That... "

That's the essence of the Matrix (reality)

I know @WildeChilde It's all good. I understand. I think the same as you, but in reality no one knows. The other day I was thinking, what if we are all awakened but we don't know? Lol :-P

And this it is also an example of reality being a strange loop, right?

Why are you assuming that he is not fully and permanently awakened? No one knows, maybe he is. (And I also did it with some humor, I never am very serious, sorry hehehe... )

@Dino D Nice! Thanks for sharing. It's a really mind-blowing experience. I will try it again tonight.

I didn't read any of them, but they seems really interesting http://buddhanet.net/ebooks_m.htm

Doing this meditation I become conscious of all of my body, I could even feel the blood flowing through my veins. It was mind blowing. I did it several times after that but I couldn't repeat the experience. Anyway is one of my favorites meditation techniques.

That was very helpful. Maybe that's what I was looking for. Thanks!

I like some of her stuff. One of the things that helped me more from her was her mindfulness meditation video, here it is...
