Per Sahara71 reminding us that there is a connection between Rajneesh/OSHO followers and Mooji, here is some other food for thought: Rajnessh/OSHO followers (aka 'sanyassins') brought MDMA to Ibiza, the Spanish Balearic party island. Ibiza is an important node in the global nomad travel network, along with Goa, India, Bali, Thailand and other points.

Heart broken students from Monte Sahaja Portugal left rudderless without Moo are like a baseball. A satsang ashram in Spain is like a catcher's mitt. Barcelona is a hugely popular tourist destination. And...do not forget that Ibiza (Spanish Balearic Islands) draws spiritual aspirants from all over the world. Ibiza is a major node in the global nomad travel network. Lots of traffi

Now that many are becoming disappointed with Moo, you can expect to see new satsang teachers arrive on the scene, hoping to fish in troubled waters and obtain recruits. Especially those of you with money, people management skills, skills with event planning, accountancy, public relations, Youtube and other social media, web design, search engine optimization (SEO), those of you fluent in var

Corboy note: And do be aware that Rajneesh Osho has passionate followers,many of them to this day. For a sample, just read the comments section on this gentleman's blog. He wrote an article critical of Rajneesh, and hoooly helll. Today, there perhaps, possibly be no connection between Moo and the Ibiza global nomad rave scene. However, researchers ought to be aware that . the Osho

Lets sum up some safety issues people have voiced about Monte Sahaja. One suicide. Fire broke out in a work station at Monte Sahaja. Where were fire extinguishers? Was the wiring inspected? Where and how were flammables stored? What was the status of the fire alarm system, was that up to code? (Note: on 11/7/18, Constantin, formerly resident at Monte Sahaja alleges how those unsafe c

After Rajneesh died, Osho sanyassins have continued their interest in tinkering with people's minds - and experimenting on groups.

Tipis are not used in the parts of the world where the true custodians of ayahuasca ritual live. The tipi was used by some of the tribes in North America -- ayahuasca is not indigenous to North America, and neither are its rituals. This is cultural illiteracy at its most crass. Here is a comparison. In Roman Catholicism, proper custody of the holy sacrament is a serious matter. Bre

It may be no coincidence that Osho is being quoted here. The Osho/Rajneesh sanyassins are a very important part of the rave/club scene in Ibiza, Goa and South America. They played a big part in bringing MDMA (aka.'Ecstacy') to the club scene in Ibiza. Here D'Andrea describes "Deep" one Osho sanyassin, whom he met in Ibiza. "Deep" had become in
