Near Haadrin Beach, at Leela beach and 'the heart of the dragon', some 'hippies' and a group of the former US Bhagwan/ Rajneesh movement, had settled for almost a decade. The movement had failed in Oregon. In 1985, some people around the secretary of Bhagwan/Osho (see photo), Ma Anand Sheela, had commited crimes in the US such as mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria. Most of the former Sannyasin who had arrived here in 1985-87 were trying to generate some money by giving courses in Yoga, Mediation, Tai Chi etc.
Allora non avrai più paura.
Allora la vita ti potrà passare attraverso.
La vita diventa simile a brezza
e tu diventi una stanza vuota:
la vita entra ed esce da te- lasciala scorrere.
Abbandonarsi è il segreto. Il segreto di tutti i segreti!
OSHO
AT Kottayampovil in Kerala on a hot day in January the theyyam performer had come to the end of his performance in the village temple courtyard. The headgear was just removed. The eyes how ever spoke of a trance phase still not gone. That would take time, I guess.
Theyyam is performed in a state of trance as if the God is actually inhabiting the body of the performer. For the time this performance lasts, he is God and people worship him so.
I have no great insight like the rest of the world on the significance of the half open eyes that are also sported by Gautam Buddha and Lord Mahavira who started the two religions - Buddhism and Jainism respectively - half a millenia before Jesus Christ came in. In the case of the performer his eyes were half open for the entire period of time I saw him. There must be a connection somewhere in meditation and god hood that would lead to half closed eyes. I refer not to the depiction of the Middle Path of Buddhism which half open eyes are supposed to convey in contra distinction to the depiction of open eyes of Hindu Gods and closed eyes of The Jain Tirthankaras. I mention only the physical and physiological significance of the fact.
Osho has always made light of the practicioners of Buddhism and Jainism in his typically irrepressible way when he talks about the half open eyes of the two Gods in his Zen - The Solitary Bird, but I think he did miss the point or I wonder if he was just having a joke at the expense of the current day keepers of the faith who were unenlightened and did not understand that you achieve the half open stage of the eyes only in a stage of deep meditation and delirium.

there were multiple inspirations for this creation..
the design is from an osho tartot card of the same name..i actually tried to recreate ths earlier in my stream with a baby in the lotus flower instead..it was not very good.. hence the re-do
and so i decided that i would 'bare all' so to speak and do a selfie ( actually i am wearing shorts that i edited out) mostly because i have been thinking about the belief that some people have about being modest.. and that somehow showing skin makes you a "whore" and is not right in the eyes of Divine..
i wholeheartedly disagree with this viewpoint...
and so this is my expression of my belief that nakedness is next to Godliness.. and that repression of the natural energies is what causes all forms of sexual dysfunction including all fetishes and rape..
having said that.. again.. i am not saying i want to walk around naked and post naked pictures on flickr.. because we don't live in a utopian world.. i'll stay happy and free enough with my tank tops and shorts.
:)
also have to mention cate loughran for inspiring me with her beautiful night life, photo based series
“Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized.” ―Osho, The Buddha Said...: Meeting the Challenge of Life's Difficulties
No esperes a tener ninguna razón para reírte, simplemente ríete como un loco, sin razón alguna
"Sé todo lo dichoso que puedas,
sé alegre, sonríe y ríe.
No esperes a tener ninguna razón para reírte,
simplemente ríete como un loco,
sin razón alguna.
La risa es suficiente en sí misma,
no necesita razón alguna.
Es tan saludable,
es un ejercicio tanto para el cuerpo como para el alma.
De modo que allí donde estés sentado,
ríete,
y los demás comenzarán a reírse
al verte reírte sin causa alguna.
Entonces te reirás de los que se están riendo
y será un círculo sin fin.
Detente sólo cuando se te salten las lágrimas.
¡Ese es el punto y final!".
Osho, Meditaciones para empezar el día
Cuando se acepta la certeza, la inevitabilidad, en lugar de llorar, lamentarse y arrastrarse hacia la tumba, ¿por qué no bailar? ¿Por qué no aprovechar lo mejor posible el tiempo que media entre la cuna y la tumba? ¿Por qué no vivir cada momento con tal plenitud que si el siguiente momento no llega no haya motivo de queja? Podrás morir con alegría porque has vivido con alegría". OSHO

CREATIVITY IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO ( Osho Talk ) :- If You Think That If You Become Famous Like Picasso , Then You Are Creative - Then You Are In Fact Not Creative At All : You Are A Politician , Ambitious. If Fame Happens Good - If It Doesn't Happens Good. Fame Should Not Be The Consideration. You Should Be Enjoying Whatever You Are Doing. It Is Your Love Affair. Then It Becomes Creative.Small Things Become Great By The Touch Of Love & Delight.
If You Believe That You Are Not Creative, You Will Be Just That - Because That Belief Will Obstruct , Continuously Negate , All Possibilities Of Flowing. It Will Not Allow Your Energy To Flow Because You Will Continuously Say That " I Am Uncreative ".
Very Few People Are Accepted As Creative : A Few Painters , Poets - One In A Million. This Is Foolish ! Every Human Being Is A Born Creator . Observe Children & You Will See : All Children Are Creative. By & By , We Destroy Their Creativity ; We Force Wrong Beliefs On Them. We Distract Them & Make Them More & More Political & Ambitious. Thats When Creativity Disappears - Because An Ambitious Man Can Not Be Creative , Nor Can He Love Any Activity For Its Own Sake. While He Is Painting He Is Looking Ahead ; He Is Thinking , 'When Am I Going To Get A Nobel Prize?' When He Is Writing A Novel , He Is Looking Ahead.He Is Always In The Future - And Creative Person Is Always In The Present.
Drop Wrong Conditionings…Suddenly You'll See You Are Creative. To Be & To Be Creative Are Synonymous. It Is Impossible To Be & Not To Be Creative. But That Ugly Phenomenon Has Happened , Because All Your Creative Sources Have Been DESTROYED & Your Whole Energy Has Been Forced Into Some Activity That Society Thinks Is Going To Pay.
Our Attitude About Life Is Money-Oriented & Money Is One Of The Most Uncreative Things. Our Whole Approach Is Power Oriented & Power Is Destructive , Not Creative. A Man Who Is After Money Will Be Destructive , Because Money Has To Be Robbed , Exploited ; It Has To Be Taken Away From Many People , Only Then Can You Have It. Power Simply Means You Have To Make Many People Impotent , You Have To Destroy Them - Only Then You Can Be Powerful.
A Creative Act Enhances The Beauty Of The World ; It Gives Something To The World , It Never Takes Anything From It. A Creative Person Comes Into The World , Enhances The Beauty Of The World - A Song Here , A Painting There. He Makes The World Dance Better , Enjoy Better , Love Better , Meditate Better. When He Leaves This World , He Leaves A Better World Behind Him . Nobody May Know Him; That Is Not The Point . But He Leaves The World A Better World , Tremendously Fulfilled Because His Life Has Been Of Some Intrinsic Value
Your Creativity May Not Give You Power , Prestige , Money. I Can Promise That Deep Inside , You Will Be The Richest Man Possible; Fulfilled , Full Of Joy & Celebration , Continuously Receiving Blessings From God. Your Life Will Be A Benediction.
It Is Possible That Outwardly You May Not Be The Famous , But To Succeed In This So -Called World Is To Fail Deeply And What Are You Going To Do With The Whole World At Your Feet If You Have Lost Your Own Self ?? A Creative Person Possess His Own Being;He Is A Master. A Sudden Clash Of Thunder.
"La vida es un misterio, no una pregunta. No es un rompecabezas que resolver, no es una pregunta que debe ser respondida pero es un misterio para vivir, un misterio para ser amado, un misterio para ser bailado." - Osho
Así es la vida. No hay necesidad de preocuparse tanto por ello. Disfruta tu energía. A veces es afortunada, a veces desafortunada; debes aceptar ambas. Si quieres que siempre sea afortunada estás pidiendo demasiado; no es posible en este mundo cambiante.
Todo va siempre arriba y abajo. Así que cuando estés arriba, disfrútalo; cuando estés abajo, descansa y espera; pronto estarás arriba de nuevo. Los períodos bajos deberían ser períodos de descanso y los períodos altos deberían ser períodos de danza. Y es perfectamente natural; de otra forma la vida se volvería muy monótona. Este drama tragicómico (un momento es tragedia; al otro es comedia), hace la vida más jugosa. Así que no veo que haya problema alguno".
Osho, The New Dawn (Oshotimes, N° 1, edición español)
I was on the 38th floor of a condo in Singapore looking at the Kallang River filled with kayaks. It's so fascinating to see how tiny we humans are. The serenity of the river, the cool breeze and the rays of the sun appealed to me but it was the rivers' patience that struck me more than anything else.
Patience is one of the greatest challenges that proves to be both humbling and gratifying experience. And dear Life, i can't thank you more than enough.
"One cannot predict when it will come. Only one thing can be said categorically, that if you are impatient, it will not come. The more impatient you are for it, the less is the possibility, and if you are patient, it is bound to come. The more patient you are, the closer it is. If your patience is absolute, then it can happen right this very moment. But everything depends on patience. Patience is prayer and patience is trust and patience is love. Patience is nothing but a fragrance of trust. The night is dark but one trusts that the dawn is coming. Each moment is coming closer and closer."- Osho
"Rivers know this: "There is no hurry. We shall get there."-A. Milne
Love never possesses,
because love knows
that love is possible only in total freedom.
When the other is totally free, only then love is possible.
-Osho
