Ravi, I get this...I completely understand this.  Also, I watched your Bat Gap 
(most of it) interview this week.  It helped me with my current situation 
because something very odd is going on with me energetically.  Maybe its a 
brain tumor.  Maybe it's just that the work my cranial sacral guy is doing to 
subtly manipulate my structure to clear the blockages and allow it to receive 
and express "life force" energy (or something like that...again, I am trying 
not to over think or ask too much of my brain at this time) is working.  

Also, remember, I am a Scorpio woman and haven't been shut down my whole life, 
just the last few years and I was honestly, pretty happy about it for a number 
of reasons :)  Now, it appears that my energy may be returning....I blame it on 
the FFL shaktipat effect (or should I be saying "shot put".

Dear Denise,

FWIW I don't say anything anything that's not my experience. I kept my fucking 
mouth shut for 38 years - in fact I thought it was stupid to engage in 
spiritual discussions.

My experiences on sex match Sri Bhagwan and Osho say. I was tremendously 
blessed by the existence to marry a woman who made me feel like an abuser, pimp 
for daring to even entertain the thoughts of having sex with my own wife.

I was extremely virile, with strong sexual desire but for me sex always 
followed love so I couldn't beg my ex for sex, I was too proud nor was I like 
John, Willytex to force myself on her because I had a fucking license to sleep 
with her.

I suffered tremendously with shame, guilt, my sexual fantasies. Not to talk 
about the anger, bitterness I felt at being constantly rejected of the 
tremendous love and attraction I felt for my ex.

I was forced to internalize them and through the grace of Mother Kali power 
heal and ascend.

You can't blame for that can you? My ex was only Guru.

Love - Ravi

Damn, it always gets back to "for the enlightened one......".  I'll have to 
make more of an effort to become "enlightened" in my next life.

Denise,

Yes - What Sri Bhagwan says is exactly what Osho would have said.

I have said before, but I would say that for an enlightened there is lust but 
there is no pain and suffering. Animal-like, animals have sex but it's not 
mental, it's not in the mind (which Sri Bhagwan referred to as psychological), 
they don't suffer from guilt, shame.


In the absence of beliefs such as sex is sin - sex is seen for what it is just 
a biological need. No shame, no guilt, no archetypal guilt of abuser or being 
abused, hence no pain or suffering.

This conversation has been kicked around plenty and is now passe.  However, I'm 
sending this anyway.  I simply could  not understand Sri Bhagavan on the video 
John sent so I decided to transcribe him and then I had to comment below 
because it was so non-sensical.  I did understand OSHO - his word choices came 
across more clearly and he was far funnier, I must say.  

Sri Bhagavan and OSHO are trying to say the same thing...are they not?  If one 
pulls way up and doesn't getting confused by the minutia or their personal 
beliefs [such as OSHO stating that God raped the Virgin Mary and marriage 
inhibits freedom (paraphrased)]?  

Sri Bhagavan speaks more indirectly.  I think he may be trying to cater to the 
American puritan roots and his ability with the English language may be 
inhibiting clear thought presentation as well. OSHO always has a crazy look in 
his eye and had me ROTFLMAO, if for no other reason than the pure irreverence 
of his statements.  


"Word Up"... Who has time for all that "psychological romance stuff."

SRI BHAGAVAN - transcribed

Question: Does lust exist for an enlightened person?

Answer:  Enlightened people can also have children, like unenlightened people.  
(Meaning that enlightened people can procreate...obviously - it's a biological 
function.)

If an enlightened person has got lust, we can talk about lust, biologicallust.  
In normal people, it is psychological lust. (Biological/psychological...it's 
all interrelated and it's all biological because that's the way the hormones 
work in the body. He's parsing to make a point, which is that enlightened 
people can have lust too, so yes, John, please feel free to sleep with your 
wife this week too :).  He's just trying to create an artificial boundary in 
order to keep the enlightened man in a separate category.) 

For the enlightened person, it is more animal like, it is just part of the 
body, that's all (I think that perhaps what he is really trying to say is that 
the enlightened man realizes that consciousness encompasses (wrong word 
choice?) the body and that the body comes with animal instincts....yes, my kids 
started learning how their body works in elementary school..no big aha moment 
here.)

Now, the unenlightened person can sit alone and be thinking about lust (Yes, 
she can). 

The enlightened man cannot do that because the mind doesn't come up with 
supporting pictures. (Yeah, right - FFL is a good example of the truth of this 
statement.) So, there is no mental lust or psychological lust.  (Again, it's 
all the same thing so yes, there is.  He's also speaking to our American 
puritan-based roots which create self-talk that says..."we know it's wrong 
but we can't help ourselves." ).

But, let us say there is a woman - understanding there can be physical lust.  
And of course he (the enlightened man) is not going to violate any law and may 
have a relationship with his wife and produce children.  But, this biological 
lust is really really little (Yeah, right)  - and can be a good solution to 
population problems (Please, stop).

But, then let us say there is a person - an enlightened person - and there is a 
woman going there and there is physical lust.  After she moves away from the 
range of vision - it's gone - he cannot think about her (I think he's trying to 
say that an enlightened man stays in the moment).

Lust came, lust went - that's all.  It will not cause a problem (It might for 
the woman...stereotypical male statement).  But, the other (unenlightened man) 
will be thinking of....will go off and chase.....that does not happen for the 
enlightened person (Yeah, like celebrities. Women come to them.)  

After this week of reading all your posts, I might beg to differ on that point, 
but never mind me, I'm an unenlightened, depressed, stressed, fear-based, 
shame-based, slightly overweight, immuno-compromised, middle-aged, woman.  Whew 
- now there's a good visual.  Luckily, my personal version of the hopey-changey 
thing is beginning to work for me.  I don't always know what FFL is saying, but 
what I'm hearing is: "It's o.k., you can be here, we have a lot of experience 
with realities here, we are experts in management here. Oh, by the way, have 
you heard the one about the Raja's and the Domers?"
