It's always the same thing, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam etc. always diverge from the first principles, these philosophies, as religion tend to be a mystically-negative buzzword, **must be studied from the unaltered sources, again, follow the [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Lindy Effect|Lindy Effect]].** Read the original, oldest, Buddhist texts instead of the latest "top New York time winner blabla bullshit Buddhist" book. The story of **Osho** teaches us important things, the history repeat again, what US did to **Osho** is the same as what Hitler did to the Jews, US citizens were scared of the unknown, they were scared of seeking the truth, it is a common disease among ignorant people. It is a tragedy for US, they failed and did they learn from their failure ? Unfortunately many people misunderstand philosophers like **Osho**. People are scared of abstract concepts, we evolved to manipulate physical objects in order to survive, that's why philosophy, as mathematics is hard for us and only the most courageous face this journey. %% --- <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96999.Courage" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img border="0" alt="Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1316131899l/96999._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96999.Courage">Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2856822.Osho">Osho</a> My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3096332850">5 of 5 stars</a> Living in the unknown, a pleonasm. Question everything, un-wash your brain, society wants you to become an efficient slave, not an individual. Break free from the monkey brain, destroy the ego. The ego is a brain cancer, its symptoms are inability to learn and grow. The mind is the parasite of the body, it is often useful, often detrimental, you can shut it down anytime: meditation. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/103091881-louis-beaumont">View all my reviews</a> --- <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/131390.Tantra" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img border="0" alt="Tantra: The Supreme Understanding - Discourses on the Tantric Way of Tilopa's Song of Mahamudra" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1254131901l/131390._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/131390.Tantra">Tantra: The Supreme Understanding - Discourses on the Tantric Way of Tilopa's Song of Mahamudra</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2856822.Osho">Osho</a> My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5276146619">5 of 5 stars</a> One pattern I've noticed in my life is that very smart people master analogies, which makes sense because analogies are how we generalize knowledge through the branches of the tree. Osho comes up with beautiful analogies to explain his ideas. I don't necessarily see all of his conclusions as valid, but his perspective is easily explored through his analogies. Other things: - He's pro-polyamory - Very similar to Jiddu Krishnamurti's philosophy, a little spicier/kinkier. - He seems to be a master of improvisation <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/103091881-louis">View all my reviews</a>
