It was just as you describe and I am proud to say that instead of abusing fellow trainees as Dhyano told me to, I went to smash him in the head with my fist, only to be restrained by his blackshirts, I have always regretted not connecting fist to face that night.

It would be a waste of my time to challenge your fallacies, misrepresentation and general bigotry throughout this article, but you have increased my motivation to write about the reality of the trainees movement.<br />For that I must thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15716380.post-82069577056120184512013-06-14T17:37:50.520+01:002013-06-14T17:37:50.520+01:00Brilliant insight.

They have a "hugging" meditation and let's just say that it is more intimate that most people desire in a public new-age mind-body-spirit festival. <br /><br />I once considered the Humaniversity courses.<br /><br />Ordered the brochure, read the content. The first thing that stood out on the application form was the requirement to have an Aids test.<br /><br />After reading the brochure and aids test requirements, I did some historical digging about the Osho movement and decided that the whole thing was not for me.<br /><br />While I had given my name and address for the brochure, I hadn't provided a phone number.<br /><br />The scary thing was that some 4 months after the brochure I had a phone call from the Humaniversity in the Netherlands (I'm in the UK) with a very nice sounding young lady asking me which courses I wanted to attend and that there were discounts available should I want to do some volunteering. <br /><br />Someone had gone to the effort of looking me up in the phone book to tell me this.<br /><br />For me, the Osho movement (particularly the communes and "centres") is something best avoided.<br /><br />Jake.Jakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15716380.post-52328530134372547752013-02-17T10:34:25.340+00:002013-02-17T10:34:25.340+00:00Hey Sam,
