I haven't read any of his books, but I did read a biography about him a few years ago by one of his disillusioned disciples. It was called "The God that Failed." Full of scandal and negative stuff about Rajneesh. So maybe it was wrong of me to judge Rajneesh on the basis of one book that set out to say bad things about him.<br /><br />I'd like to ask you a question. What is your opinion of Sai Baba? Was he a holy man or a fake? Did he really materialize precious objects (like rings and necklaces) out of thin air, or was he a trained magician using sleight of hand?<br /><br />Perhaps I ought to broaden that question by asking: do you believe in miracles? Can the laws of nature sometimes be suspended? <br /><br />I remember how a Catholic saint, Thérèse of Lisieux, was once asked if she believed in miracles and she replied with charming simplicity: "Well, why not? God can do anything, can't he?"Xanadunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-35431797199051880132009-09-12T22:38:16.415-04:002009-09-12T22:38:16.415-04:00Ennhh.

There may be references through the other articles about Sexual Alchemy, but really, aside from the fact I think the human race is pretty fucked up (sorry) about Sexuality and Relationships, I think it a pity we don't know that it isn't about procreation or repression, nor is it Tantra (which is just one Way) it is about Transformation.Man From Atlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564058987138711708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-52345658824357812912009-09-09T18:25:43.198-04:002009-09-09T18:25:43.198-04:00Hi MFA,

No offence has been taken by me at any of your ideas, which are, in relation to sexuality, pretty mainstream, i.e., tolerant, liberal and laissez-faire.<br /><br />XanaduAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29767791.post-45173166794632937732009-09-06T14:07:51.002-04:002009-09-06T14:07:51.002-04:00Thanks, lalara.
