Ishan,
I totally agree with your post 3914(I agree 100%). Still, i i am convinced Rajhneesh is the oly enlightened person in our era.Another person i can think of is Chandrasekhara saraswathi..

Despite knowing all the accusations, if you still have been following his teachings, I think you might have a very good reason for that and I respect it.

Bro - I understand what you are saying. But my belief is that when it comes to spiritual matters, manohshuddi of guru is "the most" important factor. In philosophical matters, talking is pretty easy. Any person who has read few books and has a talent of making persuading sentences can influence spiritual seekers. But the actual spiritual pursuit can be inspired only from a pure guru (or at least not an impure guru). Readings and talking can just give us information. But only a soul can stir another soul.

Now when newbies who are entering in to these things must be cautioned regarding the dangers too. Allegations on rajneesh are not small. He was convicted of many wrong doings. He might have said certain beautiful things that totally make sense, but as I said all you need for that kind of quotes is an articulate writer or speaker.

Despite knowing all the accusations, if you still have been following his teachings, I think you might have a very good reason for that and I respect it.

He, unlike many other godmen was a borrower of ideas. He took ideas from the ancient religions, put them in a grinder and developed his own commandments. I don't know what truth he stuck on to, but these kind of incidents really strike wrong notes.

//Osho is a big time bloody bugger of a philosopher of this era.//

I think the other way.

except Osho other so called gurus are just knowledgeable persons not realized people.

The reason why I came to this conclusion: Truth and diplomacy..rendu kudaa oke chota imadalevu(like dark and light oke chota yelaa vundavo??). Rajneesh truth ke kattupadu vunnadu ..chanipoye varaku. Politicians, priests dagaara nangnaachi thanam gaa adugulu madugulu vatha ledu..

Cocanada,
I was not talking of experience as the circle, but your perception of self as the circle :-)

Agreed it is the mind throwing stuff at you , and yes turning off your mind is one way to live in the infinite present ... This is a temporary state though as it is very difficult to keep it turned off permanently :-)

How then do you leave it on and still live in the present - you take away it's ability to perceive the change in self by reducing your circle, the perception of self to zero - the age old destruction of ego-I am nothing state , or increase the circle to encompass the whole plane so any change becomes negligible and imperceptible - the I am everything state:-)

At that point there is no change to perceive or measure in your self and when you close your eyes to external references of time you are only in the present infinitesimal - like a yogi who sits in samadhi for hours but thinks he only closed his eyes for a second :-)

Anand_n:




the very fact that you consider experience as a circle in 2 dimensional world says it all i.e. experience requires space (area in 2 dimensional world)

experience is not a point

so, you can not perceive present moment with the mind

its just mind throwing some garbage at you and grabbing attention of your awareness

(i had 2 beers down my throat..pardon me if it is nonsense)

Cocanada:

Imagine the world is 2 dimensional and time is the third dimension.

Now, can you rethink and explain the same concept?




Its kind of difficult to communicate the idea without pictures but let me give it a try :-)

Any measurement is only possible when we perceive change-of state, size, etc.

Lets say we live in a two dimensional world and time is the third dimension-the z axis.

Let’s use regular shapes to make it simple-say a circle around the origin in the plane to represent a person.

Now when we add the 3rd dimension, we have a stack of planes.

Our plane with me(the circle) either travels along the z axis of time. Since you are the circle, then there is no way to identify where you are on the z axis.

So how do we perceive time ? Identification and definition of self and then change to self.

A circle is born and changes over time - let’s say radius is a function of age. R = f(z)

Now the mind and memory has a record of what I was earlier and what I am now … perceptible change, helping me identify something changed and thus measure the change and the factor driving it (that is time)

If what the mind perceived as the circle , that is me, became a constant, the radius became - most obvious choice a 0 , your mind stops registering change(turns off ?) - you are the same at every instance on the z axis, there is nothing to indicate distinguish when past ended and present started, present is infinite :-)

To achieve that state , you can either drive your self to that point where no change is perceptible {to the origin(singularity) or the plane in all its infinity} or turn the perception mechanism, i.e. the mind off :-)

If I confused you even more with this explanation,and it is highly likely, that I did, I will stop here :-)

Ishan:

Present is impossible to measure, because when you are involved in something - "You" will be the present and hence "you" can not measure it. And if you attempt to measure your present, you are not in it, so its not valid!




Excellent. You put it nicely in other words.

Anand_n:


When our awareness of the three dimensions is annihilated(x=0,y=0,z=0), our perception of time is based on the changes to these is annihilated too (what you called teh absence of mind) - each point in time has an identical relative value and the present becomes infinite :-)

Did that make any sense to you ? :-)




Not really.

Since we can not visualize 4th dimension, let us simplify the set up.

Imagine the world is 2 dimensional and time is the third dimension.

Now, can you rethink and explain the same concept?

Parthasaradhi:

Parthasaradhi:

Explanation for 'Living in the moment' goes two ways. One is worldly in which we can say 'concentrating on the task at hand without any distracting thoughts'.

Other one is philosophical. In that, it is state beyond mind. Since past and future exist only in mind, logically you can not stay in the present with mind. Explaining further, whatever task you do, you cannot say you are living in the moment because mind is involved. Let us say you are reading a book without thinking anything other than the lines of book you are presently reading. You cannot say you are living in the moment because letters you are reading are coming from mind and you learned those letters in the past. So philosophically you are not living in the moment because you are relying on memory.

'Living in the moment' essentially points toward awareness. Awareness is continues and hence there is no question quantification.

For a yogi, only present tense is there. No other tenses physical or mental or grammatical



Ishan:

Nice explanation. Somehow I missed it in that thread. Present is impossible to measure, because when you are involved in something - "You" will be the present and hence "you" can not measure it. And if you attempt to measure your present, you are not in it, so its not valid!

- by Osho

Experience of the mind requires space because there is movement of the mind

But present moment is a line

Present moment can not be perceived by the mind. You can live in the present moment only in the absence of mind i.e. when you are your awareness in the purest form, free from memory and the mind

Yes - and in a different context when discussing timetravel,my son theorized it in mathematical terms :-)

The 3 Dimensional axis intersect at the point of existence of any physical entity.

This point of our existence moves along the axis of time but the complete combo is only valid at a point in time...and every point along the axis is the present moment :-)

But let me use his thought and apply it to what you said - as long as you perceive the 3 dimensions , each combination of x,y,z and t axes is unique, distinct, disparate ...In addition x,y and z are also functions of time...and hence our perception of each point of time becomes very distinct too:-)

When our awareness of the three dimensions is annihilated(x=0,y=0,z=0), our perception of time is based on the changes to these is annihilated too (what you called teh absence of mind) - each point in time has an identical relative value and the present becomes infinite :-)

Did that make any sense to you ? :-)

Oh yeah. He mentioned Osho. I was in the bookstore and this title caught my attention.

Finished the book in single sitting. Happens very rarely with me
