Orgasmic Heart

Y


The Orgasmic Heart
is a total opening-up of our body's energy...
The body has a system of energy centers. These centers were defined in ancient Hindu and tantric Buddhist cultures, where they were studied as "chakras".
There are seven chakras in the body,
which correspond to the colors of the rainbow.

harmanvisions.com

These views came into definition as shamans and healers studied our relationship to light, and found, our bodies respond to different levels of light... In the same way we intuitively respond to the colors of the rainbow. When we feel orgasmic energy, all that light rises up through our bodies and ignites our hearts. So tantra is a form of directing this energy into the heart consciously, as we inhale. In this way we can heal ourselves and others. We can send light out through our hearts as we exhale.

We can all become responsible stewards of our own energy. Yes, there are times we need help and need to ask for it... However, it is immoral for someone else to try and run you with their energy and negativity. Be prepared to call the person on it, because they are being biased and will be repeat offenders. Try to understand that their hearts are suffering inside.

Orgasmic energy is generally the first experience of this phenomena and should not be repressed. It is, in essence, our life-force energy.

My sexual ethics are: sex, energy, plus meditation.

And it is the easiest thing to join them, because while making love, the moment you come to an orgasmic explosion, your thoughts disappear, time stops. Suddenly you have melted into the other. You are no longer an ego. And these are the qualities of meditation: no ego, no time, no thinking. Just pure awareness and a melting into the whole.

Where sexual orgasm ends, meditation begins. They can be joined very easily. The easiest thing to do is to join them, they are so close.

My own insight is that people came to discover meditation through sexual orgasm, because of these qualities. They could see that when thoughts stop, time stops, ego disappears and you are in a tremendously beautiful space. Although it lasts only for seconds, it has given you the taste of something that is not of this world, something of the beyond.

We don't know who discovered meditation, perhaps thousands of years ago. In the East we have books at least ten thousand years old describing methods of meditation. But any method brings the same qualities.

This is my feeling, without sexual orgasm nobody could have been able to discover these three qualities. Once they discovered these three qualities, people of intelligence must have tried to experience them without going into sexual orgasm. Is it possible to attain to such a consciousness? Somebody must have succeeded, and since then millions of people have succeeded.

The whole of humanity lives in misery for the simple reason that they have the wrong kind of sexual ethics... A kind which teaches them to repress it. And the more you repress your sexuality, the farther away you are from meditation. The more you repress it, the closer you are to madness, not to meditation.

And now it is a fact established by psychoanalysis - by the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud - that repressed sex is the basic cause of human misery, of all kinds of perversions, of all kinds of mind sicknesses. But the religions still go on preaching the same thing.

Sigmund Freud should be remembered as one of the milestones in the history of man. But his work is only half. He simply fought against repression; his work is negative. In itself it takes you nowhere; it is fighting against darkness.

My sexual ethics are a completion. Repression has to be dropped. And a deep acceptance, a deep friendliness towards your own energies, a loving intimacy with your own energies so those energies can reveal all their secrets to you... And joining them with meditation, orgasm becomes the door to the temple of the divine.

To me, if sex is the creative force in the world, it must be nearest to the creative center of the world - whatever name you give to it. Creative energy must be closest to creation, to the creative source of it all.

People should be taught the art of converting sexual energy into spiritual enlightenment.

This is a Mandala, below,
which shows the energy chakras of our physical bodies...

The red center is at the spine and the sphincter...
Balanced, it is strong and sensual; imbalanced it will feel numb, dense, disruptive and destructive.

The orange center rules the genitals...
Balanced, it brings power and energy; imbalanced, it brings control issues.

The yellow center is below the belly button,
giving power to make commitments to life; imbalanced, it will bring up emotions of anger and greed.

The green center is the heart center!
It rules compassion, and is peaceful and soothing. Imbalanced, it will create depression and feel oppressed.

The blue center is ruled by the throat, face and our psychic center, the "third eye"...
Balanced, it is clear and honest; imbalanced it holds denial, and is chaotic and reactionary.

The purple center is the crown of the head.
Balanced, it brings feelings of lightness, music and ecstasy into the body. Imbalanced, it will bring delusions and madness.

Meditation with white light links these chakras to the Universal Energy centers... And yoga is used to keep these areas of the body clear, balanced, and resilient.

Star Mandala

The Five Universal Energy Centers
c) 2009 Orandon

These categories are derived from my personal studies in Buddhist art, and the use and theories behind meditating with mandalas. We use meditation with mandalas as a way of traveling through time and space, beyond the three-dimensional.

I am placing two mandalas on this page... The one with the sky and clouds is a Star Mandala. It represents the flight of masculine and feminine energies uniting. The other is the Kalachakra Mandala. It is the Dalai Lama's personal mandala, and can be found in other areas on the internet for more info. It represents the UNITY of all things.

All beings have five basic energy centers outside their bodies... These energy systems hold such things as vibrations, memories, body language, heat, cold, other frequencies of emotion, light and darkness. The health of these energy centers varies throughout a being's life, depending on the condition of their personal health. Drug use rips "holes" in these energy centers, and is not condoned for that reason.

Center of Action,
relative to our immediate bodies, is the immediate environment in/or through which one has taken action and generated movement. (The effects or presence of the physical body are generated as vibration, into the environment... But also taken into account are objects owned by the physical body - such as garbage.) MASCULINE SPIRIT GUARDIANS spend a great deal of focus in this realm of our lives. This energy center carries cause and effect vibrations (karma) which erroneously touch the lives of many other beings.

Center of Atmosphere
is tied-in to the presence of a person or being. It is representative of places where one has been and left "residue". Atmospheric energies are generated by fragrances, dust, dirt or skin flakings, hair and DNA. (Please also include here bio-hazardous products as well as those used for the disposal of blood and sperm-filled prophylactics.) FEMININE SPIRIT GUARDIANS (also known as divas and dakinis) spend a great deal of focus in this realm of our lives. This energy center generates psychic awareness, and the erroneous effects one's presence has physically on many other beings. This center is attributed to the DREAM TIME of the collective unconscious.

Center of Solar Radiation
connects to the time and place of birth (as in the map of the astrology chart). This energy center represents your birth position, and where the stars were when you or another being was born. It corresponds to other souls who share the same astrological birth signs or attributes - and to the common programs being fulfilled in the coarse of life by these beings. SHARED SPIRIT GUARDIANS commonly show whatever needs or lessons are required by collective groups of individuals for proper soul growth. It is a normal phenomena here to experience one's personal Spirit Guardian's sudden presence in another person. Just know that you have attracted this phenomena by Law of Attraction; it may not be authentic unless you are.

Center of Universal Radiation
is representative of a star system one feels attuned to. As an energy center it holds information gleaned from the rapport with/and any beings who were or are there. TRIBAL SPIRIT GUARDIANS we might recognize from mythology and religions, who effect the course of groups of people/beings. Exploring this realm can be dangerous and should not be explored through experimental drug use, nor by those who are untrained. (In his youth, Jim Morrison spent a lot of his time putting his awareness in this center... As many poets do!)

Center of Divinity
is represented by our Higher Power, also known as the Holy Guardian Angel, the Eternal Self or the "Megaphone of the Soul" (as written about by Chris Griscom)... This is the sound of our own guiding voice, which speaks forth from deep within. Accessing this energy is the attainment of MASTERY through LOVE.

The Zen Heart is a Melting Heart...

personaltao.com

The Zen Heart has crashed itself along the hard shores of life so many times...! It has completely disintegrated, and become one with ALL life.

Y

You can have attitudes about anything. Once you have attitudes, your innocence is destroyed and those attitudes start controlling you. Zen is neither for anything nor against anything. Zen says whatsoever is ordinary is good. To be ordinary, to be a no one, to be a nothingness, to be without any ideology, to be without character, to be characterless...

When you have a character you have some kind of neurosis. Character means something has become fixed in you. Character means your past. Character means conditioning, cultivation. When you have a character you are imprisoned in it, you are no more free. When you have a character you have an armor around yourself. You are no more a free person. You are carrying your prison around yourself; it is a very subtle prison. A real man will be characterless.

What do I mean when I say he will be characterless? He will be free of the past. He will act in the moment according to the moment. He will be spontaneous; only he can be spontaneous. He will not look back into the memories for what to do. A situation has arisen and you are looking in the memory - then you have a character. Then you are asking your past, "What should I do?" When you don't have any character you simply look into the situation and the situation decides what has to be done. Then it is spontaneous and there is response, and not reaction.

Oh... Um... About me...

I still cannot believe I have been living with paralysis.

I am so grateful to have my Tui Na healer get to it and work it out! By this time I have consulted nine doctors who could do nothing.

I have felt degrees of paralysis throughout my life, starting when I was about 7. You see, it is all generated by anxiety. My body cannot conduct adrenaline correctly.

But I know the left side of my head and face have been paralyzed for at least four years.

The most difficult part about this? It feels like I am living with a concussion. I have had to get used to the sensation of living like this, you know? The world is perpetually-warped and slanted. That includes the faces of people here. Strange smells are in the air, burning my eyes. Animals talk in their own painful languages and such.


It's very Bosch and Van Gogh. (I would say, on the good days it's more, Van Gogh.)

I believe my spirit refuses to take any more shit from people. I believe it's my spirit's way of protecting me, keeping me from bringing that weird, untamed energy into myself.

I feel things... I internalize. When I was young, people would tell me I'm psychic. Then I trained as a psychic and taught workshops and helped people for many years.

My feeling is, they should try it for themselves sometime.

I feel my spirit loves her inner world here. If I can share some of that with others, that's a bonus. And if someone can share with me? That's the icing on the bonus.

I am a practicing Buddhist. I am all about intention, and peace. I was born and raised Catholic. I became interested in Buddhism in my 30's. I took my vows when I turned 35. It has helped!

You see, no one can see anything wrong here. To some extent I am still expected to function as if I am "normal" - unless I start telling people. I can always count on being met by denial.

I have had to learn how to talk around it, inside and upside down in it, bust it down, break it out, and penetrate through all kinds of discussions of it... To the point I can't see straight; I hate talking anymore.

This has been the greatest hurdle living with this condition - how society would want me to normalize the abnormal. I hate that. I think sensitive people have a tough time, in general. Many become smokers, many try to protect themselves with food, and layers of fat. Nothing is normal; everything and everyone is unique. So it is inhumane to normalize the abnormal. You have to stop and DECIDE how much energy you are going to put into situations. Then you have to stand your ground, because people are still in denial and will try to coerce you.

I think I was always an angry person because of this. I'm sure I'm not the first.

As I approached my 40's the anger began to harden me... To the extent it could have killed me if I let it! I'll be 50 this year. I don't know what happened to my 40's. My doctors say it is more difficult to manage this condition as people get older.

Doctors have tried to talk me into viewing this condition as being something else... Every medication we tried made me feel violent. My body has to run her own energy. It is an adrenaline-heart-brain thing. I knew all this when I was 14!

Y

We have to learn how to be very careful, very gentle, and walk softly on the planet. We have to understand what pressure is, and not abuse it! Is that so hard?

Y

I know Jim Morrison was very hard on his body... He used drugs and drank; it was his way of coping with this same condition. He used to have panic attacks in High School. He often passed out on the floor in the hallways. He had severe panic attacks on stage, too. You know, I think of him as the big brother I never had? I am sad to have never had the chance to see him in person. People said he was a shaman.

Well, I think he just went about his death a little quicker, that's all. He was trapped in a lifestyle, trapped in his ego. He wanted to live, and live blatantly in the face of conformity. He did not want to be a hypocrite.

He was outrageous. He didn't know how to get out of it before it was too late! I know, he tried. The world forces us to get caught up in things - and that becomes fate. I'm sure he wouldn't have done it any other way.


When you live with a condition like this? You're not allowed to have an ego. The only thing you are allowed to have is reality. A lot of people can't deal with it, so they just choose to check-out.

You have to be as honest with yourself as possible. That includes your limitations, your desires, the supposed gifts and "talents" you think you have, which others encourage you to pursue - you have to learn these things don't and can't define you.

You have to conduct a ritual of stopping often, looking in the mirror, and checking with yourself to see if you're lying. You have to become extremely present with the idea that you're human... A human-being, not a human-doing. Or no one will help you.

That's what I know about me.

Octomom Sees Angels at Meeting With Dr. Phil Wed., Mar. 4, 2009 5:15 PM PST by Marc Malkin


Angels in Waiting may not have to wait much longer to help Ocotomom.

I just got word that the meeting between the world's most famous mother of 14 and Dr. Phil and Gloria Allred yesterday also included a representative from the children's nonprofit.

As you may recall, Nadya Suleman rejected an offer from Angels last month to help support her. Allred represented the group.

"They are now coming up with a rescue plan to help Nadya pull herself out of this mess," a source tells me of the get-together, which took place at Dr. Phil's Beverly Hills home.

A rep for the television doc declined to identify who was at the meeting but confirmed that there were "many parties involved."

Surprisingly, it sounds like we will not be seeing footage of the pow-wow on a future episode of Dr. Phil's syndicated chat show.

"Nadya didn't want cameras there," the source says. "That was part of the deal to go to the meeting."

Allred told E! News yesterday that the meeting was "all about the babies" but declined to give further details.

Dr. Phil said on The View today that he does think it's possible for Suleman to raise all of her kids. "Do I trust this woman to handle 14 children and raise them with responsibility? No, I do not," he said. "But I think she could be taught. I think she could be trained."

However, he also estimated that it would probably take about 80 to 90 volunteers each week to provide proper care. "We have got to monitor this situation," he said. "I'm worried about these children."

Allred declined to comment for this story.

"Octomom" spawns bills limiting embryo implants
By Associated Press
Thursday, March 5, 2009


ATLANTA - A Georgia Senate panel is set to take up a bill inspired by California’s octuplet mom.

The Senate Health and Human Services Committee will hear testimony Thursday on a bill that would limit the number of fertilized embryos that a woman could create and implant through in-vitro treatments. The legislation that would allow no more than two embryos to be implanted at any one time in a woman younger than 40. For women older than 40, the legislation would limit the number of embryos to three.

Opponents say it would put fertility clinics out of business in Georgia. Supporters say it’s needed to rein in the big bucks baby-making industry. Debate has raged since Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets on Jan. 26. She has six other children.

Because You Are Creating a Human Being

I feel for your parents. They worked hard; they did everything that they could, but they had no idea how psychology functions. Instead of being taught how to become a mother or how to become a father, they were being taught how to become a Christian, how to become a Marxist; how to become a tailor, how to become a plumber; how to become a philosopher... All these things are good and needed, but the basic thing is missing. If they are going to produce children, then their most significant teaching should be how to become a mother, how to become a father.

It has been taken for granted that by giving birth you know how to become a mother and how to become a father. Yes, as far as giving birth to a child... It is a biological act, you don't have to be psychologically trained for it. Animals are doing perfectly well, birds are doing perfectly well, trees are doing perfectly well. But giving birth to a child biologically is one thing, and to be a mother or to be a father is totally different. It needs great education because you are creating a human being.


Animals are not creating anything, they are simply producing carbon copies. And now science has come to a point where they have discovered that carbon copies can really be produced! It is a very dangerous idea.

If we make banks - and sooner or later we are going to make them; once an idea is there it is going to become a reality. And scientifically, it is proved that it is one hundred percent possible... There is no problem. We can have banks in the hospitals for both the male sperms and female eggs. And we can create exactly the same two sperms and exactly the same two eggs, so two children are born which are exactly the same.

One child will be released into the world; the other will grow in a fridge, unconscious, but all his parts will be exactly the same as the other person. And if the first person is in an accident and loses a leg or loses a kidney, or has to be operated on, there is no problem: his carbon copy is waiting in the hospital. From the carbon copy a kidney can be taken out - he is growing exactly at the same rate, he is just unconscious - and it will be exactly the same as the kidney that has been lost. It can be replaced.

That carbon copy will always be available for replacing any parts – even the brain. You can fall into a coma or you can even have a heart attack... Your brain can remain alive even after a heart attack for at least four minutes - but not more than that. If during these four minutes an identical brain is inserted, an identical heart is inserted, you will never feel that anything has changed or anything has happened to you.

Perhaps you fell asleep and now you are awake.

You will never know that your brain has been changed, that your heart has been changed. This idea of having carbon copies seems to be a great advancement in medical science in a way, but it is dangerous - dangerous in the sense that man becomes a machine with replaceable parts, just like any machine. When something goes wrong you replace the part.

And if every part can be replaced, then man will be falling farther and farther away from spiritual growth, because he will start thinking of himself as just a machine. That's what half of the world, the communist world, thinks - that man is a machine.

You are fortunate that you can understand the situation your parents were in. They have not done anything specifically to you; they would have done the same to any child that was born to them. They were programmed for that. They were helpless. And to be angry against helpless people is simply not right. It is unjust, unfair, and moreover it is harmful to you.

If your parents cannot understand me, you should not be worried about it. The whole world cannot understand me. Your parents are normal people; they just follow the crowd, which is safer. You have fallen out of the crowd. You have chosen a risky and dangerous path. If they don't want to go into a dangerous lifestyle, it is their choice; that should not be a cause for your anger.

In fact, you can help them by really becoming the individual that I am talking about: more conscious, more alert, more loving. Seeing you can only change them. Seeing you so radically changed can only make them think twice, that perhaps they are wrong. There is no other way. You cannot intellectually convince them. Intellectually they can argue, and argument never changes anybody. The only thing that changes people is the charisma, the magnetism, the magic, of your individuality. Then whatever you touch becomes golden.

So rather than wasting your time and energy in being angry and fighting against the past which no longer exists, put your whole energy into becoming the magic of your individuality. So when your parents see you they cannot remain untouched by the new qualities that you have grown, qualities which are automatically impressive: your freshness, your understanding, your unconditional lovingness, your kindness even in a situation where anger would have been more appropriate.

Only these things can be the real arguments. You need not say a word. Your eyes, your face, your actions, your behavior, your response, will make the change in them. They will start inquiring about what has happened to you, how it has happened to you -- because everybody wants these qualities. These are the real riches.

Nobody is so rich that he can afford not to have the things that I am telling you. So put your energy into transforming yourself. That will help you, that will help your parents. Perhaps it may create a chain reaction.

Your parents may have other children, they may have friends, and it will go on and on. It is just like you are sitting on the bank of a silent lake and you throw a small pebble into the lake... The pebble is so small that it creates a small circle at first, but circle after circle... And they go on spreading to the far ends, as far as the lake can take them. And it was only a small pebble...

We are living in a certain kind of new sphere, a new psychological lake, in which whatever you do creates certain vibrations around you. It touches people, reaches to unknown sources.



Just create a small ripple of right individuality, and it will reach to many people - and certainly to those who are most closely related to you. They will see it first, and they will understand with great awe. They will not believe their eyes because all that they know of religion is the Sunday church, where nothing happens. They have been going every Sunday their whole lives, and they come back home just the same. In the name of religion they know only the Bible or the Koran or the Gita; and they have been reading it and nothing happens, because they know one thing - that you are a living being and a book is dead.

...So feel blissful. Here you have a chance to get totally transformed. And help your poor parents, because they did not have such a chance; feel sorry for them.

Asteroid Misses Earth
Written by Austin Cook
Wednesday, 11 March 2009
An asteroid, about the size of one that leveled more than 2000 square km of forest in Siberia a century ago, just buzzed the Earth on Monday, March 2.

The asteroid caught the eye of scientists located at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. They named the asteroid 2009 DD45. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory measured this space rock’s distance from Earth to be about 78,000km (48,000 miles) when it zipped past. "This was pretty darn close," astronomer Timothy Spahr of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said Wednesday. Spahr later said he knew within an hour of their discovery that it would pose no threat to Earth. Luckily, this asteroid was not as close as the tiny meteoroid, 2004 FU162 that came within 4,000 miles of the earth.

The Planetary Society estimated the asteroid, which flew by early on Monday to be between 69 feet and 154 feet in diameter, nearly the same size as the asteroid that exploded over Siberia in 1908.

The last encounter that the earth had before this was last year, when the asteroid 2008 TC3 harmlessly burned up in Earth's atmosphere. The asteroid burned up only 19 hours after it was discovered.

“The next close encounter that the earth will have with an asteroid is estimated to be in 2029. The name of this asteroid is 99942 Apophis. This asteroid will come within 32,000km and measure to be 885 feet,” said Donald Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

Astronomers Are Just As Dumb As Economists
Eric Falkenstein
March, 2009

(Editors note: Last week we wondered whether Tim Geithner thinks the recession is like a giant asteroid, something completely unrelated to our own doing that just happened to hit us. Turns out, as our guest author notes, astronomers themselves think everything is the result of an astroid, too.)

While economists have been taking a beating for not predicting the future correctly, it is useful to remember that when you take a physicist to the real world, he too has little to say. Consider our understanding of our solar system, a seemingly straightforward issue.

Mercury: Has an abnormally large iron core. For its size, its density seems too high. This is a puzzle. Leading theory: hit by asteroid.

Venus: Venus rotates in a clockwise fashion, in contrast to other planets. Leading theory: an asteroid hit it to spin the other way

Earth: No one knows where the water came from. Leading theory: snow comets hit us. The Moon's origin, also, is not obvious, because it doesn't have enough iron, and if it just spun out of a really fast spinning Earth, the Earth would still be spinning fast or the energy release needed to slow the Earth down would raised the temperature to 1000 degrees Celsius. Nebula forming two planets, or planetary capture, don't work. Leading theory: an asteroid hit the early Earth, creating the Moon.

Mars: There appears to be evidence that Mars used to have water, as it seems to have lots of old lake beds and dry river beds. Why did the water leave? The atmosphere is currently about 0.3% of the earth's, so currently water goes immediately from ice to water vapor and then floats into space. So where did the atmosphere go? Solution: solar winds, or an asteroid hit it and pulled away the atmosphere.

Jupiter: Jupiter is 1300 times the volume of the earth, yet spins around once every 10 hours. Puzzling.

Saturn: Where did the rings come from? At some point in Saturn's early history, a moon about 300 km across got too close to Saturn and was torn into pieces. Or, it's also possible that two moons collided together, or a moon was struck hard enough by an asteroid that it just shattered.

Uranus: Uranus spins on its side, rolls around like a ball, unlike the other planets. This is a puzzle, because in theory, the solar system started as a spinning nebula of debris that generated a similar spin to it agglomerated parts, and also, because its moons circle the planet on a different axis. Solution: an asteroid hit it.

The Moon Miranda has a very strange surface. There are huge faults, deep canyons, steep cliffs, smooth plains, and curiously shaped rifts, smooth in some areas, rocky in others, that make it seem like it has different parts. A leading explanation: hit by asteroids.

You can only use the 'hit by an asteroid' explanation so many times, before it starts sounding like a filler for 'we have no good theory'.

We have a lot of work to do figuring out lots of prosaic stuff. Nobel physicist Robert Laughlin points out, much interesting physics are emergent phenomenon, they are not derived from basic forces. Very little, if any, collective organizational phenomenon, such as crystallization and magnetism, has ever been deduced from its lower lower-level parts. Those predicting the End of Physics are ignoring all the interesting problems that are not potentially generalizable to everything.

A physicist's ability to predict the terminal velocity of rocks falling from the Tower of Pisa, is like an economist predicting that when you subsidize something you get more of it. True in itself, but few are interested in such isolated phenomena.

You Are Never Alone

Y

You Are Never Alone

What is needed is, that you become aware of your aloneness, which is a reality. And it is so beautiful to experience it, to feel it, because it is your freedom from the crowd, from the other. It is your freedom from the fear of being lonely.

Just the word "lonely" immediately reminds you that it is like a wound: something is needed to fill it. There is a gap and it hurts: something needs to be filled in.

The very word "aloneness" does not have the same sense of a wound, of a gap which has to be filled. Aloneness simply means completeness. You are whole; there is no need of anybody else to complete you.

So try to find your innermost center, where you are always alone, have always been alone. In life, in death - wherever you are, you will be alone.

But it is so full! It is not empty - it is so full and so complete and so overflowing with all the juices of life... With all the beauties and benedictions of existence, that once you have tasted aloneness the pain in the heart will disappear. Instead, a new rhythm of tremendous sweetness, peace, joy, bliss, will be there.

In human history, how did marriage evolve, and the subjugation of women?
- by Osho: Sermons in Stones, Chapter 13, a lecture from the early '70's

This is the compromise that human beings have made: to be secure about the future, to be certain about the tomorrows, to have a guarantee that the woman who loves you is going to love you forever, that it is not a temporary affair...

That's why religious people say that marriages are "made in heaven"... A strange kind of heaven, because if these marriages are made in heaven, then what can you make in hell? They don't show the signs, the fragrance, the freshness, the beauty of heaven. They are certainly disgusting, ugly... They show something of hell certainly. But man settled for marriage because that was the only way to have private property.

Animals don't have private property - they are all communists, and far better communists than have appeared in human history. They don't have any dictatorship of the proletariat and they have not lost their freedom, but they don't have any private property.

Man also lived for thousands of years without marriage, but those were the days when there was no private property. Those were the days of hunting; man was a hunter. And those people thousands of years ago had no cold-storage system, no technology - whatever food they got they had to finish as quickly as possible. They could only hope that tomorrow they will get some food again.

Because there was nothing to accumulate, there was no question of marriage. People lived in communes, tribes; people loved, people reproduced, but in the beginning there was no word for "father." The word "mother" is far more ancient and far more natural. You will be surprised to know that the word `uncle' is older than the word "father" - because all the people were the age of your father. You didn't know who your father was.

Men and women were mixing joyously – without any compulsion, without any legal bondage, out of their free will. If they wanted to meet and be together there was no question of domination. The children never knew who their father was, they knew only their mother. And they knew many men in the tribe; someone amongst those men must have been their father, hence they were all uncles.

As private property came into existence with cultivation.... With hunting, man could not survive long. People have destroyed complete species of animals. Hundreds of species which once used to dance and sing on this earth... Man has eaten them up. Something had to be done because hunting was not reliable. Today you may get food, tomorrow you may have to be hungry. And it was very arduous. The search for animals did not allow man to develop any of his other talents, his genius. But cultivation changed the whole life of man.

You must be reminded of the fact that cultivation is the discovery of women, not of men.

The woman was confined - she was not able to go hunting. Most of the time she was pregnant, she was weak, she was carrying another soul within her. She needed care, protection... So she was living in the house. She started making the living space more beautiful - and this you can see even today, after thousands of years.

If you enter into a bachelor's room you can immediately see that it is a bachelor's room. You may not be able to decide by seeing the bachelor whether he is bachelor or not, but his room certainly is a bachelor! The woman, her touch, is missing. The house of a bachelor is never a home, it is just a place where he sleeps. It is not something with which he feels a certain intimacy, a certain creative relationship.


The home, the village, the city and the whole civilization are because of the woman, because she was free from hunting and she had different values of the heart and of the mind. She was more aesthetic, more graceful, more earthly, not at all interested in hell and heaven and God and the devil and all that crap! No woman has written a single religious scripture. No woman has been a philosopher thinking about abstract, faraway things.

Woman's consciousness is interested only in the intimate surroundings - she would like a beautiful house, she would like a beautiful garden. She wants to create a small world of her own - cozy, comfortable. She imparts a certain quality to a dead house and it becomes a living home. It is a magical transformation.

Man continued to hunt, and the woman started looking around... The man had no time. He has always been busy without business, but the woman had all the time there is. The basic work of hunting was being done by the groups of men and the woman started looking around. She discovered cultivation because she saw wild fruits growing, she saw many other things growing and she also saw that every year the crop dies; the seeds fall back into the earth and when the rains come, again those seeds sprout in thousands of plants.

She started experimenting to find what was edible and what was not edible. Soon, as hunting was becoming more and more difficult, men had to agree with women: "We have to shift our whole economic focus. We have to go for cultivation, for fruits, for vegetables. And these are in our hands -- we can produce as much as we want, as we need it, and there is tremendous variety."

Slowly, slowly came the nomads, the wandering tribes, because hunters cannot stay in one place. They have to go on moving as the animals escape. Once hunting was dropped and cultivation became our very measure of survival a new thing also happened alongside.

There were people who were powerful people and there were people who were weak people. The people who were physically powerful managed to claim much ground as their property. They earned much... Slowly. Slowly the barter system started, because when you have too much of one crop, what are you going to do with it? You have to exchange it; then you can have many more things. Life became more complex, with more excitement.

But a problem was felt: after a person dies, who is going to inherit his property? Nobody wanted their property to be inherited by any XYZ. They wanted their property to belong to their own blood. It is out of economics, not out of the understanding of love that marriage came into existence. Its very birth was wrong, under the wrong stars.

And because man had to agree for marriage.... The woman was very willing for the simple reason that for thousands of years in the hunting period she was not financially a part of the society; man was all. Man continued his power, although the whole social structure changed. The hunter's nomadic life became a peaceful life in a village, but man's concern was about his property. He wanted a contract with the woman to be certain that the son she was giving birth to is not somebody else's, but his own. For this simple purpose all the woman's freedom had to be destroyed. She had to live almost like a prisoner, or worse.

Man agreed - under compulsion, he compromised. If the woman was losing a few things - her freedom of movement, her freedom in changing lovers - man was also ready to sacrifice his freedom. They would remain devoted to each other forever.

But it is against nature. Even if you want to do it nature is not going to support you. Nature is for freedom, not for any kind of bondage.




So new problems started arising. Men started finding prostitutes who were no-one's wives, or as it was phrased in India, the prostitute was the wife of the whole town: nagarvadhu. She belongs to anybody, she is a commodity; you have to pay and buy her time and her body. Because of marriage it was very difficult to find married women because then there were more complexities: they had their husbands.... Prostitutes were good.

And you will be surprised to know that in India every city had its topmost prostitute. She was the most beautiful girl born in that city. Because she was so beautiful it was not right to let her get married to one person, she had to be shared. She was so beautiful that if she got married there would be trouble, there would be problems -- people would go on falling in love with her. It was better to keep her free for anybody who would pay.

Marriage created suspicion. The husband was always suspicious about whether the child born to them was his own or not. And the problem is, the father had no way to determine that a child was his own. Only the mother knew. Because the father had no way of being certain, he created more and more walls around the woman – that was the only possibility, the only alternative -- to disconnect her from the larger humanity. Not to educate her, because education gives wings to people; thoughts make people capable of revolt, so no education for women. No religious education for women, because religion makes you saints, holy people and it has been a male-dominated society for centuries and man cannot conceive a woman to be higher and holier than himself.

Man has been cutting from the very roots any possibility of woman's growth. She is just a factory to manufacture children. She has not been accepted by any culture in the world as equal to man.

Jesus, I know I am perfect in Your eyes.


Teach me how to honor Earth
and inherit all the gifts we have here,
to continue to
learn, prosper and preserve new ways
of being Your faithful steward.
In your name, Jesus, I ask; Amen.

Fascist Christ
Lyrics by Todd Rundgren

Founding fathers and mothers left us a mandate
We've got to separate the church and the state
So get your head straight
before it's too late
And you drop it in the plate,
you must appreciate

Jesus and money make a man speak in tongues
Scream out his lungs, roll in the dung...
And when the song is sung, he moves up another rung -
And the deaf and the dumb are the ones who get stung.

Here comes the sex police, they're at your bedroom door
Movin' in next door, searchin' from floor to floor.
You know what they're lookin' for
Someone's always keepin' score every time you dip the oar.

Love isn't fun no more
Love isn't fun no more
Love isn't fun no more

Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
"Gimme that old time religion!"
Here it comes!

Let's get fundamental about this strange philosophy
In which god and man are enemies!
In which there is no serenity
unless you happen to believe
Precisely what they want you to believe -
and no diversity!

Come join the army and learn the noises
That drown-out the others' voices
and please the devil,
Who rejoices when mankind has no choices -
And power exploits us, and peace avoids us.

Guess who to the rescue on a holy mission?
To uphold the tradition of the Spanish Inquisition,
And preempt your decision by forcing your confession?
Now let that be a lesson

Who you think you're messin' with?
Who you think you're messin' with?
Who you think you're messin' with?

Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
"Gimme that old time religion!"
Here it comes!


(Somebody took our God away -
Somebody took our God away -
Somebody took our God away - -)


Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
Fascist Christ, come to the rescue!
"Gimme that old time religion!"
Here it comes!


(Somebody took our God away -
Somebody took our God away -
Somebody took our God away - -)

AWARENESS Jesus and the Money-Changers
by Osho

People come to me and they ask, "What is right and what is wrong?" I say, "Awareness is right; unawareness is wrong." I don't label actions as wrong and right. I don't say violence is wrong. Sometimes violence can be right. I don't say love is right. Sometimes love can be wrong.

Love can be for a wrong person, love can be for a wrong purpose. Somebody loves his country. Now, this is wrong because nationalism is a curse. Somebody loves his religion. He can kill, he can murder, he can burn others' temples. Neither is love always right nor is anger always wrong.

Then what is right and what is wrong? To me, awareness is right.

If you are angry with full awareness, even anger is right. And if you are loving with unawareness, even love is not right.

So: let the quality of awareness be there in every act that you do, in every thought that you think, in every dream that you dream. Let the quality of awareness enter into your being more and more. Become suffused with the quality of awareness. Then whatsoever you do is virtue. Then whatsoever you do is good. Then whatsoever you do is a blessing to you and to the world in which you live.

Let me remind you of a situation that happened in Jesus' life: he took a whip and entered into the great temple of Jerusalem.

A whip in the hand of Jesus...? This is what Buddha means when he says, "an unwounded hand can handle poison."

Yes, Jesus can handle a whip, no problem; the whip cannot overpower him. He remains alert, his consciousness is such.

The great temple of Jerusalem had become a place of robbers. There were money-changers inside the temple and they were exploiting the whole country. Jesus alone entered the temple and upturned their boards - the boards of the money-changers - and threw their money around and created such turmoil that the money-changers escaped outside the temple.

They were many and Jesus was alone, but he was in such a fury, in such a fire! Now, this has been a problem for the Christians: how to explain it? Because their whole effort is to prove that Jesus is a dove, a symbol of peace. How can he take a whip in his hands?

How can he be so angry, so enraged, that he upturned the boards of the money-changers and threw them outside the temple?

And he must have been afire; otherwise, he was alone - he could have been caught hold of. His energy must have been in a storm; they could not face him. The priests and the business people all escaped outside shouting, "This man has gone mad!"

Christians avoid this story.

There is no need to avoid it if you understand: Jesus is so innocent! He is not angry; it is his compassion. He is not violent, he is not destructive; it is his love. The whip in his hand is the whip in the hands of love, compassion.

A man of awareness acts out of his awareness, hence there is no repentance; his action is total.

And one of the beauties of the total action is that it does not create karma; it does not create anything; it doesn't leave any trace on you. It is like writing on water: you have not even finished... it is gone.

It is not even writing in sand, because that may remain for a few hours if the wind does not come - it is writing on water.

If you can be totally alert, then there is no problem. You can handle poison; then the poison will function as a medicine. In the hands of the wise, poison becomes medicine; in the hands of the fools, even medicine, even nectar, is bound to become poison.

If you function out of innocence - not out of knowledge but out of childlike innocence - then you can never come to any harm, because it leaves no trace. You remain free of your actions. You live totally and yet no action burdens you.

Vampire Heart

This is a heart surrounded by blood, but there's no blood in it.

I know you know
and you know I know you know -
the one thing the vampire never gets
is trust.

Look.

There's blood all around it
but never inside it.
There's trust all around it
but never inside it.
He never
She never
gets what s/he needs;
He cannot
She cannot
manage to trust.
He never
She never
truly belongs
to anything more

than dust.

Perversion means you are losing your consciousness and behaving like something below human beings. That capacity is man's: he can fall below the animals and he can rise above the gods. That is the glory of man, and his misery too. That is the agony of man, and his ecstasy too.

Man is the only animal in the world, the only being, who is capable of reaching to the deepest hell and rising to the highest heaven.

Perversion simply means you are falling backwards. Conversion means you are moving upwards, falling upwards. And if one is not converted towards the upward journey, one remains perverted.

Maybe your perversion is not very strange and you can adjust to it. Maybe it is a normal perversion, everybody has it; then it is okay, it can be tolerated. But a few people have exceptional perversions, private perversions, their own... And they cannot adjust to the society.

But remember, there are only two kinds of people: the perverted and the converted.

There are only two categories: the perverted and the converted.

Be the converted: start rising above humanity.

The only way to rise above humanity is to accept all the animality that still exists and lurks in you. One who is capable of accepting all that he is, becomes capable of receiving that which he can become.
