Thread: My Way Of Life is Not Philosophy

    Default My Way Of Life is Not Philosophy

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK4aVB1uPOg

    No philosopher has ever been able to know the truth. All the philosophers have been thinking about the truth. But thinking about the truth is an impossibility. Either you know it, or you don’t.
    Osho is a enlightened mystic whose wisdom, clarity and humor have touched the lives of millions of people around the world. His insights are creating the conducive atmosphere or ‘ Atma-Sphere ” for the emergence of what he calls the ‘New Man’ or Zorba , the Buddha – the combination of celebration, dance and song of Zorba and the silence, stillness and meditation of the Buddha, the meditation of the East and the materialism of the West. Zorba the Buddha is a totally new human being who is an awakened one, and he is life-affirmative and free. When someone asked Osho the definition of religion, Osho replied: To be in romance with life is religion.
    I revel in learning other peoples point of view, but it's best to understand it first. If someone could please enlighten me what this guru is articulating it would be much appreciated.

    Well, after doing a little experiment this morning, watching the sun rise, clearing the mind, there was a sudden awareness; I didn't think to breath.

    Seriously, how can we know without experiencing or learning? To do that requires thought, not a mind clear of thought.

    To think that there is a South African website dedicated to this mystic. I wonder if any government officials support his "philosophy"

    It appears some organisation has adopted the name and continued the "movement". He died 22 years ago.

    Isn't Atma that woman from Lut Gholein in Diablo 2?

    Actually I know pefectly well who she is.

    I've played that game so many times ... I could have done a 3 year Bachelor degree in Law in the time I spent on Diablo 2.

    Actually I eventually did substitute the one for the other.

    Good on you for not giving up on your career.

    George Bernard Shaw once said, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing."
