I thinks osho was pretty cool , I havent read much but I went to the garden in Pune last summer and it was pretty transcendental

they are on the methadone program...his girlfriend is not my mum. I dont think they shoot up anymore but who knows. i dont have a lot to do with them.

"phuck" knows...maybe some people just like picking fights

i do think what pamela anderson has done on behalf of hep is extroidinary

``

nothing more stale than internet forum dirty laundry and grudges. its smellier than real life even

``

``

i didnt but a friend did

darwin as siksha guru

``

yes that is it indeed

momemtarily

What is Osho? I looked it up online but I am too lazy to read through all the information that seems to give no information. Wasn't Rajneesh and his followers into lots of sex? Is he dead? A simple paragraph or so is all I need.

they were into not having hang-ups about sex or anything... i would say most sannyasins are as sexually active as the typical iskcon sannyasi

you never rubbed your danda?

Osho sannyasins are permitted to have lots of sex? Do they renounce anything?

Sure...link me up to the video clip....I am curious.

Ok...I may as well post here as it is relevant to our talk here..

OSHO: SEX & DEATH - two great taboos

Two things have been taboos in the world: sex and death. I have been condemned all around the world, simply because I talked about every taboo without any inhibition.

Indian culture has the kama sutra...most ancient cultures don't have anything as sex positive as that!

we have jenna jameson and ginger lynn

Lately, youtube hasn't been working well for me. It cuts out every two seconds. Grrrrrr....

Hard egos are shattered
Whereas soft ones rise
to fall as meadow dew

like the sweat of my balls

It is very honorable that you do not want Hep C sufferers to suffer the spectre of the stigma of junkyhood lingering over their sickness but when someone types faster than you can - it is a good idea to assume and publically declare them cocaine addicts!!!

cheers 3 yantras.

okay thank you jijaji very nice

Hmm. Check my words again. Notice the word 'saying' is different than the word 'having'.

I still stick by my guns; that coming out and saying you are carrying the hepc virus or aids virus while being a celebrity is more about being open and revealing.

Bravery is a couple of ex-junkies doing the methadone program because they (must) really want to change their lives around.

Lately I've been having some cardiac symptoms. Tightness, palpitations, getting out of breath really easily. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow to see if I can do a cath on an outpatient basis. My new insurance doesn't cover as much and I'd have to pay a great deal of money if I go in as a patient overnight.

So all the little offenses people commit just don't mean as much to me right now. It's a consciousness I wish I could maintain. I'm sure once I feel like my health is stable again I'll start becoming preoccupied with people who looked at me wrong or spoke sharply to me or slighted me in some way.

It all comes down to having limited time here and figuring out what we want to spend it on.

Thanks bhaktavasya...your comment made me come over all emotional...my Dad does want to be a good person i think but boy has put everyone around himthru hell. you helped me to see the good in him...

Tapati, i hope the ínner squabbling' has not contributed to your health problems. For the sake of peace and good vibes (which can only help the situation) i, for one, am prepared to smoke the peace pipe with any member who i may disagree with. Agreeing to disagree amicably.

Good reminder about letting go of personal offenses. In fact, that is one of the good things most of us have taken to heart (i believe) from Gaudiya Vaisnavism; the non-acceptance or forgiveness of personal offenses along with the 'giving of respect to others while not expecting (insisting that?) the favour be returned.

Thank you, I do hope most of us have gotten something positive from GV and that is one of the best points of the philosophy as far as I'm concerned.

I do think there is a stigma associated with Hep C in the same way as HIV, because people jump to conclusions about how both are acquired. Yet there are a lot of ways blood can accidentally be exchanged, so it makes no sense in reality.

In Hollywood, jobs often depend on the actor or actress being perceived as healthy because if they have health challenges it can interfere with the shooting schedule for a movie and cost a lot of money. Often producers have to get extra insurance against the possibility of that happening. So those actors/actresses become damaged goods because they cost the producers more money up front in addition to their compensation. At Womenheart.org I read that it's difficult to get actresses to "come out" as having heart disease, even though there isn't a moral judgment behind that. Everyone in Hollywood worries about their next acting job. Face it, doing movies is like constantly being fired and looking for new work. They are always insecure about whether they will find it, or if what they find will be good or a box office dud. Yes when they do work they get paid very well and are the source of envy. But they don't take their next job for granted.

Hey nice to see you again Jijaji. Wow, sorry to hear about the Hep C and all but I sure admire your courage and bravery about it and also your need to 'come clean' about everything. That tops everything in my book and I admire those kinds of actions a lot. The fact that you posted a pic of the gorgeous Pamela Anderson also helped, heh.

Is that a picture of you in your profile page? Interesting. Don't take this the wrong way but I never imagined you were so good-looking, heh.

clearly moksha is brave to post on these forums with the way some have recieved him

I need to extrapolate this to my humorous and poetic activities and not get depressed when people don't respond to my humour with theirs or my poetics with theirs. Perhaps they do and I am too thick to discern it. Come to think of it, a lot of funny things DO often happen when I post.

It just struck me how immensely popular this thread is! It started just a few days ago and it already has 6 pages and well over a thousand viewings! Someone here is very popular...
