about him. He got ample free publicity because of talking about " sex " .

Osho died... and, I could never meet him.

 

 

Searching for Osho on Internet led me to Mr. Clader. For the large part, I

believed what I read of Mr. Calder. Mr. Calder said these things:

Rajneesh spoke on a high level of intelligence, and his powerful presence

emanated from his body like a soft light that healed all wounds. While sitting

close during a small gathering of friends, Rajneesh took me on a rapidly

vertical inner journey that almost seemed to push me out of my physical body.

His vast presence lifted everyone around him higher without the slightest effort

on their part. The days I spent at his Bombay apartment were like days spent in

heaven. He had it all, and he was giving it away for free.

 

Rajneesh possessed the power of direct energy transmission, which is known

in India as " shaktipat. " He used this power nobly to bring comfort and

inspiration to his disciples.

Here is a picture of Ramana Maharshi. If you look deeply into the photograph

you can sense his hara point. Energy from all corners of the universe is

flooding into his powerful hara center. Observe the look of sublime contentment

on his face. Those interested in the phenomena of the hara may be amused by My

unproven theory about the hara.

 

....

 

J. Krishnamurti's method was to observe thoughts, and by doing so increase

awareness. The more you use awareness, the stronger it grows in the same way

your muscles grow with the stimulation of exercise. My own preferred method is

to drop the thinking process directly by going to the hara center and simply

relaxing there. When centered in the hara, cosmic consciousness comes easily

and naturally.

 

Subjectively, my own hara feels like a magnet for cosmic energy. I get the

sensation of being filled up with the universe as an ocean flowing into a quiet

pool of water. The distractions of the ordinary tasks of living draw me away

from the hara center and up from the depths of meditation into the pragmatic

thinking centers of the brain.
