This morning I experienced the unexpected power of a brilliant, sensitive, heart-full interviewer combining with the modesty, compassion and intelligence of the interviewee – again. These were the words that came to me on re-watching the already posted interview between these two extraordinary men. I am writing to suggest to you that, if you have [...]

You really do have to laugh. Yesterday I posted my response to the idea of a new Osho commune. Today, from a website that sends me such gems: http://www.mysamasati.com – I receive this: NOTHING ELSE IS POSSIBLE persephone, You come to me seeking knowledge.

A recently received document from an old and dear friend has prompted my response below. This document, written by a young woman at great length, talked about the failings of the whole movement around our guru Osho, after his death. She also talked (in my opinion, totally spuriously) about the idea of creating a new commune.

This is my personal rebut, written to my friend, and also forwarded on to the young woman concerned.
