Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Re: What would K say about the modern spiritual teachers?

I'm not sure what you are trying to convey. I'm saying that methods have NO PLACE in the psychological domain, not according to me, or to Magnetic, but per se.

Re: What would K say about the modern spiritual teachers?

I don't know about him, but when I use capital letters I don't mean authority. I'm just writing the same way I would speak, stressing some words, perhaps emphatically, and not stressing some others.

Not Only Osho, mmmm i remember been in many forums. The most stubborness i faced was in one about Bahai or something like that. Everything was explained with the Presents of the chosen one, it was quiet interesting to observe......

Re: What would K say about the modern spiritual teachers?

a business man came along, and ask the fisher lying on the wall at the beach what he works. he told, that he was in the morning fishing on fish for the meal. so the businesman said that he could catch more fish. so the fisher asks what to do wit these fish. you can sell them, and can buy a boat. and then, you can catch more fishes. and then you can buy two boats and employ workers for fishing. and then you can buy a fish industry....and then ..and then.. and then, asks the fisher. "Then you can lie at the wall in the sun" said the businesman. "but i am lying on the wall" said the fisher:-))

something that is not ending is old? how did you work that out.....


saying i call myself an observer could not have been so, if i missed your question post. See if its right in front of my nose and i did not see it, am I an Observer?

the observer, the part can see partly, it is the past, the old. seeing is not, when the observer see. observation, the observed without the observer is in which there is the presence.

Re: What would K say about the modern spiritual teachers?

i dont know, i dont know how you use the words. firstly the my, the you as the observer, the experiencer, as time is old. this present is the present of time, which has a continuum from the past into the future, it remains old. so you have to ask yourself, if the self-knowledge accumulation had come to an end, if there is the constant transformation of the expierencer, of the observer, which is the expirienced, the observer, the playfullness

Re: What would K say about the modern spiritual teachers?

of course you can call that presence, which has no opposite, what you like to call, because the word is not the thing. so if you live with this timelessness, it is good for you, and we have not to discuss anymore about that. i only wanted to know if there is in which is no fear, no conflict. so this was only a conversation to put the words according to k. so nobody can criticize you, if you use other words, but you have to explain it, if you wants that somebody here understands you:-)

Re: What would K say about the modern spiritual teachers?

so you see, that this timelessness is the ending of time, the ending of the old, in which is the beginning of the other
