Osho - in love
I adore Osho and his words. We are both Sags in the end of the day. I try to adopt some of his ideas too.
I love Osho.....l dont really care about love and attachment, l mean have fun with it, that's my motto, enjoy loving your hunny, l'm much more into the mind stuff....
Anthony de Mello is my favorite spiritual writer, he'll deprogram your mind in minutes...hes a genius.

Posted by ChocolateHazelnutI never knew he was a sag!! actually I was going to look up to see what he was just before I saw this. cool. i’m still gonna look up his chart out of curiosity if it’s out there.

I love and value Sags and the knowledge and intellect you all have.
I plan on reading “Fear” next. I love his knowledge and wisdom. It’s so profound.
Posted by bricklemarkHaha, I want to read “Fear” next and eventually “Courage.” But I’m venus dominant so of course I love reading the love ones too 😛

but oooh. I’ll look into him! That’s awesome. I’ve been getting into more reading about growth and self-development anyways, because as time as gone on I’ve grown and want to find better ways to continue doing so.
Since I’m at work there’s no better time than now to do some side research on new/future books
I don't like to read books about love.
Posted by SeleukosYou should! I wish I would’ve discovered him sooner! But I absolutely love what he writes and how he writes
I should reread his books again.
It has been a while since I read them the last time I think.
Osho was right about some things and also REALLY wrong about other things
Posted by AdreamuponwakingI’m curious to hear your thoughts!
Osho was right about some things and also REALLY wrong about other things
Feel free to elaborate ☺️
I also disagree with certain things, but I really like his knowledge overall. It just expands my current POV into seeing new perspectives.
Posted by AerialViewNot all of them are about love! Just the one I’m currently reading.
I don't like to read books about love.
Posted by SeleukosThat's even worse than books.Posted by AerialViewWell, lucky you.
I don't like to read books about love.

Posted by Seleukoslmao!! I like his writing style typically. at least so far 😛Posted by degenerate_ingenueI would need some time because his writing style has the tendency to annoy me at times.Posted by SeleukosYou should!

but when I watched one of his interviews he’d have these prolonged pauses and i’d be mentally trying to finish his sentences for him, because I was so impatient 😅

i haven't even heard of him, now i have learned something new.
but i went to look him up....
http://www.osho.com/highlights-of-oshos-world/osho-on-love-quotes/
"Only one percent of people know a little bit deeper. Poets, painters, musicians, dancers, singers have a sensitivity that they can feel beyond the body. They can feel the beauties of the mind, the sensitivities of the heart, because they live on that plane themselves. But a musician, a painter, a poet, lives on a different plane. He does not think, he feels. And because he lives in his heart, he can feel the other person's heart. That is ordinarily called love. It is rare. I am saying only one percent perhaps, once in a while.
he does go on and on but he is trying to go with the flow. 😛
that link has a stream radio you can listen to.

Posted by degenerate_ingenueI like many of his teachings on love, his experiential approach to spirituality, and there was a lot I liked about the community he founded (emphasis on the importance of creativity and productive contribution to wider society rather than just straight asceticism, etc.). I actually like what you say in the bold a lot and think that's a noble goal, an one of the most rewarding aspects of any relationship, provided you don't lose your self.
I think I’ve needed Osho my whole life.
I’m currently reading “Love, Freedom, and Aloneness,” and I love it. I’ve also watched some YouTube videos of him speaking. He’s very deliberate in everything he says.
As a Libra ascendant (and so venus dominant) but also having a 0 degree Scorp venus, I am prone to holding on to love until the bitter end. Things that should have ended that lingered, etc. I’d love to think that I’ve grown from that, but people of the past love to haunt me with random appearances.
However, reading Osho breathes new life and new ideas of how to live within me, and I’m working on eradicating all negative ties. My main problem was that I see a light in everyone around me. My goal was to always allow those people to see that light. Instead, it brought me into darkness, because I worked so hard trying to show others the light within them that I lost my own.
Osho discusses how being selfish is not as negative as the diplomats, religious leaders, etc lead us to believe. His support is that if you can’t be selfish...if you can’t love yourself, then you can’t love others. I was turned off by the idea at first, because I despise selfishness... but upon reflecting on my relationships in the past... I GAVE TOO FREELY. But what was I getting in return? I wasn’t loving myself. By not loving myself and focusing on the Other, I could not build a lasting relationship with anyone.
Idk. I find Osho inspiring. I strive to love myself more and by doing so I want to naturally give love to the world around me... but not doing so by trying to change people. By doing that, I take the focus off of myself and too much into others.
I’d say Osho provides a lot of growth for anyone. I really appreciate him.
“Love yourself and watch - today, tomorrow, always.”
“Love is the only freedom from attachment. When you love everything you are attached to nothing.
...Man made prisoner by the love of a woman and woman made prisoner by the love of a man are equally unfit for freedom’s precious crown. But man and woman made as one by love, inseparable, indistinguishable, are very entitled to the prize.”
Love you all. Share thoughts if you’ve read Osho or what other inspiring authors have written that would be helpful.
Not sure if you know much about that Wasco County ashram and what went wrong there, but several members were respnsible for the largest attempt at mass-poisoning in the US up to that date, mainly led by Osho's appointed secretary Ma Anand Sheela in an attempt to gain political control of the county, and it does seem there is at least some evidence of tacit approval on the part of Osho. Not yet through it all but there is a fascinating series just released on Netflix that covers all this from various angles:
Posted by Metatronomg!! I did not know that. i’m going to research that. and i’m going to watch that now. i’m at work now, but i’m definitely going to remember this for later. thank you! i’m very intrigued now to find out what the deal was.Posted by degenerate_ingenueI like many of his teachings on love, his experiential approach to spirituality, and there was a lot I liked about the community he founded (emphasis on the importance of creativity and productive contribution to wider society rather than just straight asceticism, etc.).

and yes! I really need to work on my balance. that was my biggest failure in past relationships. i do love that goal also! even if it doesn’t end up being a lasting relationship I still want them to have that memory that there is a light within. I just have to keep my identity separate and focus very hard and keeping my light while instilling (or trying to help someone find) someone else’s
Posted by degenerate_ingenueThis is exactly what I've been aiming to do for myself. I've always had the tendency to make those close to me into a project that needs helping and having the way lead for them but then I realized it was taking so much energy out of myself. Projecting everything onto another person did not help me with developing myself. It's still a process and I can't even guarantee to myself that it won't happen again with the next person I love and care for a lot but right now I'm just trying to focus on figuring my own shit out lol.

I've heard of Osho but never looked into any of his works, I will now. The two books I've currently been on and off with are The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I've only read a bit of the second one so I don't know how I feel about it yet, but I would recommend the first book.
Posted by degenerate_ingenuevery similar for me....I typically mirror behavior and communication style so hard until I can trust enough to open up, that if they do fall, they're pretty much in love with a version of themselves anyway....tend to do well with partners further up along the narc spectrum for that reason lol....yeah, definitely check that series....Its very good so far....Osho is an interesting figure, well-educated (was a philosophy prof. for a bit) and makes much less extravagant claims than so many other gurus and cult leaders....relatively humble dude IMO, with so many like him that go in the opposite direction....Posted by Metatronomg!!

I just watched Wild wild country and I was agreeing with everything osho was doing in the beginning.
Solid messages solid community and they were unfairly targeted.
I imagined the city of antelope as native Americans. How vigilant the natives should have been to the European colonizers.
Rajaneesh was only doing what white people have done for decades, colonize. And the did it lawfully.
That series made me soooo mad.
All that hate because something was different.
This was back in the 80s
Rural white America is still scared of the unknown and just like in the 80s they pulled the immigration card.
Us govt been corrupt

Them poisoning and murder plots was nothing different from what happening in flint Michigan and the same dog and pony trucks that white people have been doing for years.

Sheela was right. They were targeted first.

I am going to check it now 👌
Posted by ImpulsvI think so too! However when darkness comes over me it is very consuming. I’m a Scorpio also but I’d say my venus dominance kind of overrides me a lot of the time. BUT I have 4 scorpio planets so it’s a deep mix. I don’t want to be consumed with darkness so to speak is moreso what I meant. It tends to drown me, but I do appreciate what I learn from every fall.
"However, reading Osho breathes new life and new ideas of how to live within me, and I’m working on eradicating all negative ties. My main problem was that I see a light in everyone around me.

maybe it is because I'm a scorpio but I see nothing wrong being in the dark dealing with your shadows. I think that in that darkness, when your lost you are forced to heal those shadows. In essence you gifted them the ability to see their light and they are gifting you they opportunity to deal with your dragons. A sort of cleansing. to me it more human than those who present only positive side
I'm always suspicious of those peppy happy go lucky people. Under Neath we know they aint that peppy.
I definitely appreciate what you say here ☺️
it’s true! Life isn’t all butterflies and rainbows. I wish it was. I just have to get out of negative cycles that I used to put myself in. They are tiring and painful and to what end? I always told myself I’d never make the same mistake twice, and I typically don’t. however, when it comes to love though I don’t make the same mistake twice... I do transform those involved with me just by nature but it does take a toll.
To be more specific, I tend to find men at a “transition” in their life. I’m curious to hear if you’ve had similar experiences. But normally men whine to me about how they dislike their job. One once said “I hate my job,” so I asked “So why do you still work there? You have the qualifications. Do a job search and get a new job you’ll like so you won’t have to complain about this one.” He did it. We ended up no longer speaking. (This wasn’t a dark experience as a side note). My most recent ex hated his job, and he wanted to be a full-time dance instructor. Keep in mind he was already a dance instructor while holding this job, so he basically had 2 jobs. He complained about the healthcare job he had, so I told him that he should just switch locations but that it would be impractical to completely quit. He only did the healthcare job 3 days a week, so it really wasn’t worth quitting for the pay he receives and only 3 days out of the week. The experience with him was dark because I felt stifled, but we don’t need to get into that. I feel like we were a good match fundamentally, but he would not let me be me. I was in a cage. These are just two general examples. the ones I try to show “light” as I mentioned typically had drug abuse issues along with confidence issues. I wanted them to see how wonderful they were, but it was draining. I have since moved forward from men like that. Now I transform in more practical ways, but I’d like it if I found someone who didn’t need so much guidance (lol). they just tend to find me.
Posted by DMVI will have to watch this! I am very intrigued. So Osho was obviously more open to “being open” I assume?

Yeah I really despise people who judge based on their own preconceived notions, as if they are some form of superior or “god” when they’re going to die like all the rest of us. Nobody is above another.
I agree w the colonizing. It was sick. Granted since I’m american I guess I have no right to complain, but still. I don’t think taking over someone else’s land (by despicable force too) should ever happen. It’s just not morally correct. They had no right. Everyone is entitled to their rights without being killed.
Yes the government is very corrupt. My parents are very political, but I find myself the opposite. I really like the middle-ground, and I think that sometimes people go to extremes on both sides. It would be nice if somebody for once would realize that everyone matters and that people with ignorant views should get a grip. This is 2018, and all ideas should be explored and respected. No two people are the same and that IS the beauty of the world. Instead people like to put other people down along with their ideas, and it’s disgusting.
Posted by themilkyway36I will definitely read these! Thank you so much! And yes I think you’ll definitely enjoy Osho then🙂 as others have said sometimes his writing style is very intricate and goes “on and on” but I really like it anyways. probably because I go on and on myself though (lmao).Posted by degenerate_ingenueThis is exactly what I've been aiming to do for myself.

Idk. I find Osho inspiring. I strive to love myself more and by doing so I want to naturally give love to the world around me... but not doing so by trying to change people. By doing that, I take the focus off of myself and too much into others.
I’d say Osho provides a lot of growth for anyone. I really appreciate him.
“Love yourself and watch - today, tomorrow, always.”
“Love is the only freedom from attachment. When you love everything you are attached to nothing.
...Man made prisoner by the love of a woman and woman made prisoner by the love of a man are equally unfit for freedom’s precious crown. But man and woman made as one by love, inseparable, indistinguishable, are very entitled to the prize.”
Love you all. Share thoughts if you’ve read Osho or what other inspiring authors have written that would be helpful.
I've heard of Osho but never looked into any of his works, I will now. The two books I've currently been on and off with are The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I've only read a bit of the second one so I don't know how I feel about it yet, but I would recommend the first book.

and LOL SAME. I’ve just been trying to work on myself because clearly something isn’t right judging by my relationship choices 😂 but it’s ok. I’d like to really know where I’m going in life before I find another “man project” 😛
you know what though, hopefully the next time we find someone they won’t be a project 😅 and they’ll be put together (and so will we).
Posted by DMVI’ll definitelt watch.
Them poisoning and murder plots was nothing different from what happening in flint Michigan and the same dog and pony trucks that white people have been doing for years.
Only the rajneesh did it to them.
Sheela was right. They were targeted first.
The Flint, MI incident was absolutely terrible. It was sickening. I haven’t really followed up, but I was disgusted that the mayor (or whoever was in charge up there) didn’t care to bother with the complaints or do anything about it.
I believe that the government secretly does population control tactics that poisons people around any given area.
Actually when I was in a business law class my prof was very serious about factory farming, etc. and it was DISGUSTING. animal feces being leaked into the water supply. Imagine the type of germs and contamination that those people are ingesting. It’s sick. Same with Flint. How can a government who begs for taxes not even care how they are poisoning their people? Attacking low-income areas is disgusting. I can’t remember where the factory farming video we watched was but it was an episode on Vice.
I hate that our government can stand idle while others suffer. They only pretend to care when people actually cry out for help. then all of a sudden “they never knew what was going on” and they care.
Posted by LittleStarpls send links to me so I can research. haven’t done that much depth into his background, only what he’s written in books.
No matter what once you militarize and start poisoning people there is no turning back. The whole system was garbage to milk money out of people.
thank you for adding though. I like to know all sides to everything (and everyone).

sad that someone with such wisdom can have such a dark side, but I guess that can go for anyone these days
Posted by degenerate_ingenueI get annoyed by redundant writing but I will read it for the insightfulness and new perspective anyhow.Posted by themilkyway36I will definitely read these! Thank you so much! And yes I think you’ll definitely enjoy Osho then🙂 as others have said sometimes his writing style is very intricate and goes “on and on” but I really like it anyways. probably because I go on and on myself though (lmao).Posted by degenerate_ingenueThis is exactly what I've been aiming to do for myself. I've always had the tendency to make those close to me into a project that needs helping and having the way lead for them but then I realized it was taking so much energy out of myself. Projecting everything onto another person did not help me with developing myself. It's still a process and I can't even guarantee to myself that it won't happen again with the next person I love and care for a lot but right now I'm just trying to focus on figuring my own shit out lol.
I think I’ve needed Osho my whole life.
I’m currently reading “Love, Freedom, and Aloneness,” and I love it. I’ve also watched some YouTube videos of him speaking. He’s very deliberate in everything he says.
As a Libra ascendant (and so venus dominant) but also having a 0 degree Scorp venus, I am prone to holding on to love until the bitter end. Things that should have ended that lingered, etc. I’d love to think that I’ve grown from that, but people of the past love to haunt me with random appearances.
However, reading Osho breathes new life and new ideas of how to live within me, and I’m working on eradicating all negative ties. My main problem was that I see a light in everyone around me. My goal was to always allow those people to see that light. Instead, it brought me into darkness, because I worked so hard trying to show others the light within them that I lost my own.
Osho discusses how being selfish is not as negative as the diplomats, religious leaders, etc lead us to believe. His support is that if you can’t be selfish...if you can’t love yourself, then you can’t love others. I was turned off by the idea at first, because I despise selfishness... but upon reflecting on my relationships in the past... I GAVE TOO FREELY. But what was I getting in return? I wasn’t loving myself. By not loving myself and focusing on the Other, I could not build a lasting relationship with anyone.
Idk. I find Osho inspiring. I strive to love myself more and by doing so I want to naturally give love to the world around me... but not doing so by trying to change people. By doing that, I take the focus off of myself and too much into others.

Yeah exactly, right now I'm doing the same and I almost don't want someone to come into my life and "interrupt" my self-exploration cause my attention will go all to another person. Hopefully yes! Still waiting for my dream man lol
