Just as Osho inspired Michael, Wild Wild Country has brought life back to this forum, as awareness is growing. All around the world, specifically in America, mindfulness has become a "hot topic" - this is something we as a people should take pride in. Osho would be proud, and i believe so would Michael, in the strength the collective consciousness has amassed.
Disclaimer: there are no answers here. There are no correct conclusions and you will never find the meaning you've been seeking in a forum. It is like free therapy and it is always nice to vent, but one must figure out the question they are asking before they expect to receive any sort of an answer.
A word: do not shun osho, do not shun Michael and most importantly do not shun yourself. You are beautiful, as you are or otherwise, and you are the cause of your own success and suffering. Take a moment, breathe, take pride in your life.
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Michael firsthand - fewer and fewer members do these days. Maggie, Michael's disciple, was the medium by which Michael was prescribed to me. I hold nothing against Maggie, but every member and their mother (no pun, it truly is a family affair) knows that when they listen to Maggie, it is the voice of Michael they are hearing.
The same goes for Osho. Osho has inspired the lives of millions and if you are a dedicated follower of Michael Gottlieb then you are a Rajneeshee and you are yet another branch in Osho's tree of consciousness and love. His love still spreads like a beautiful wildfire.
If you've seen wild wild country you will understand, and if you are a royal way member and you have not watched the netflix documentary, you owe it to yourself to take a look. propagandists talk constantly about manipulation, control etc. This was not Osho's doing, but Sheela's. I will not do Maggie the discourtesy of comparing her to Sheela, but in practice their roles are actually quite similar. It was Sheela, and her loyal band of renegades, who brought terror on that small town in oregon. Sheela lost sight of what was important, but only because Osho had done the same.
So ask yourself, how could Osho, great spiritual leader and chosen disciple of the almighty lose himself? simple. the same way people in the traffic jam of life lose themselves each and every day. it was society, it was pressure, it was the relative disarray of the masses compiled into a simple manifestation called drugs. Osho was pressured by hollywood "donors" to do drugs and, ultimately, 0sho too was steered off the path of righteousness and love. As is Michale (and even Maggie), osho is but a vessel. How this vessel becomes filled is the responsibility of hte community.
To the members, i ask you now: how will you handle your responsibility?
