Re: Following Osho, Zen Buddhism and Being Rational
Is the goal of being free of dhukkha realistic?
Totally free? Born in the Purelands? Able to withstand the hell realms?
Well... strangely enough, as we season:
- Dukkha lessens its lessons
- We learn to trigger our and others well-being
- The unrealistic is The Ideal
I am off to suffer an instant coffee. Which I will enjoy...

Mangala Sutta: Blessings
Ooh I luvs blessings! 
I think I might be a neutral blessing, working as a curse on the ignorant simultaneously. Don't thank me. 
From what I know:
- inactions speak louder than silence
- by effect not affectations shall the bodhi be veiled and revealed
- Listen, glisten, watch and yearn, or better yeti, learn
- It is never too latte for destimulation
In other words, in your own ‘words-gone’

Indeed.
I have claws, fists, grappling and kick in the Nazi areas, skills from my youngling days.
Have you considered dressing as a citrus fruit, to develop immunity to being called a freak?

Writing autobiographical pieces
I’ve taken on the task of writing a series of articles about my youth in the communes and spiritual journey in later life, and I have to admit some very interesting stuff is coming up.
I was reminiscing about going about dressed in orange as a kid, and the schoolyard scrapes I got into as a result. There were a few fights, and later in life I realise that there still is the impulse to fight people with fists when a conflict goes off the rails.
These things from early childhood have deep roots!

Wow what an adrenaline rush...At first the apprehension of what if, and then the rush of adrenaline at take off... It reminds me a bit of when I have lucid dreams of flying..
