This is the state of the modern man, the modern mind:

Bertrand Russell was an atheist, he never believed in God, he could never see any wider meaning that could comprehend the whole. He relates one dream: one night, he heard somebody knocking on the door in his sleep. So in the dream he went to open the door, and he saw old God standing there. He couldn’t believe his eyes because he never believed — even in his dream he could remember that, “I don’t believe in God.” But the old man looked so forgotten by everybody, abandoned by everybody; his clothes were tattered, dirt had gathered on his face and body; he looked so out-of-date — almost like a faded painting in which you cannot see clearly what is happening — Russell felt much pity for him. Just to cheer him up he said, “Come in!” He slapped his back like a friend and said, “Cheer up!” And then suddenly he awoke and the dream disappeared.

    Hi. I like the way you write. Will you post some more articles?

  2. hawo Says:

    I cannot force it. I simply drop the negativities, the hindrances, and it comes, it bubbles up by itself.

    Thank you! You often write very interesting articles. You improved my mood.

    The treasure is not hidden in big words, the treasure is hidden in you. And it is to be discovered, not through big words, it is to be discovered through wordlessness, it is to be discovered through silence.

    when you have enjoyed many relationships you will be able to choose, you will be able to judge what kind of woman or man suits you, what kind of woman or man is a nourishment. I am all for premarital relationships. Without them man will remain insane.

    In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear.

    Spirituality is rebellion, religiousness is orthodoxy. Spirituality is individuality, religiousness is just remaining part of the crowd psychology. Religiousness keeps you a sheep and spirituality is a lion’s roar.

    A Buddha is a Buddha because he has become one with the ultimate law of life. His commune is a commune of a Buddha because the people who have gathered around him are trying to reach to the ultimate law of life. So the ultimate refuge, the final refuge is in dhamma, in the universal law. These are the true refuges. Not refuge in war, but refuge in peace, refuge in love, refuge in bliss, refuge in God.

    Very interesting and amusing subject. I read with great pleasure.

    buy generic drugs,

    but this is the way of the mind, the way of the ego: to magnify everything. It makes everything look big and then, of course, you start suffering in a big way. The cause is not so big, but the effect can be very big; it depends on you.

    I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.

  12. hawo Says:

    Once you are with my work you have to learn the ways of transformation, you have to go through a radical change. You have to die to the past and be born anew. It is hard, it is painful. Every birth is painful, and spiritual birth particularly is very painful. There are no sedatives available. For spiritual birth one has to go through many pains, but those pains are worth it because you grow out of your imprisonments; you grow into freedom, you grow up.

  13. cheapest generic cialis Says:

    Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?

  14. hawo Says:

    Yes.

    Be watchful when you are sowing your seeds, because once sown you will have to suffer the consequences. Whatsoever you sow you will have to reap. It is just that the time gap creates illusions in people’s minds. They think they can escape; that they can sow wrong seeds and can reap right crops. That is impossible—that is against the eternal law.

    A penis pump is used to draw blood into the penis. A tension ring is then applied at the base of the penis to maintain the erection by preventing blood from flowing out.

    Impotency Magic Blue Pill,

    the heart is always right– if there’s a question of choosing between the mind and the heart– because mind is a creation of the society. It has been educated. You have been given it by the society, not by existence. The heart is unpolluted.

    generic propecia,

    religion is not concerned with other. It is concerned with you, absolutely with you. Religion is personal. It is not a social phenomenon. In fact, there cannot be any sociology of religion; there can only be a psychology.

  17. buy clomid Says:

    Are you a professional journalist? You write very well.

  18. hawo Says:

    I am not. I am just quoting.

    This is reality: dropping the question why, dropping philosophical attitudes towards life, dropping the longing for meaning, then you attain to reality.

  19. lasix side effects Says:

    I added your blog to bookmarks. And i’ll read your articles more often!

    The second thing is revolution; it goes a little deeper. Reform only changes ideas, it does not even change policies. Revolution goes and touches the structure, but only the outer, not the inner.

  21. Mignon Claybon Says:

    Mignon Claybon,

    and the same happens with the spiritual urge. It is very similar to the sexual urge. One comes to a maturity, a spiritual maturity, something has ripened within you, and then the search starts. Nobody can enforce it. But all the religions have tried to enforce it, and they have killed the very possibility of the urge.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  23. hawo Says:

    You are not speaking, something is speaking through you. You are simply silent, then an urge arises in you to shout— you shout. An urge arises in you to jump and you jump, and you jog and you dance. You simply follow the inner feeling, and then it is bhajan, then it is sacred.

  24. dean guitars Says:

    You really are a quite intelligent individual!

    dean guitars,

    my work here is of creativity. I am not provoking you into any destruction; I am not telling you to blame others for your misery. I am telling you; you are responsible, so only those who have guts, will take this responsibility. But this is a real revolution. If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing it.

    How wonderfull. I’ll be back. Thank you! Matt.

  26. hawo Says:

    Osho´s religion should not be categorized with any other religion of the world because it has no tradition or dogma and it allows everybody without any discrimination into its religious fold.

    Please, can you PM me and tell me few more thinks about this, I am really fan of your blog…

  28. hawo Says:

    That’s the whole message of ecology: we are together. You breathe out, the tree breathes in; the tree breathes out, you breathe in. The tree purifies you through oxygen, you nourish the tree through carbon dioxide.

    As a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you

  30. hawo Says:

    Never commit the same mistake again and again, that’s true — invent new mistakes every day. Be creative. Risk in new ways. And that’s what taoism is all about: to be risky, to live dangerously, to live without security and safety. To be tremendously in love with life is what taoism is.

  31. How to Make Dog Clothes Says:

    amazing things thanx

  32. hawo Says:

    Buddha’s departing message to his disciples was this: “Remember”, and this he was repeating for his whole life, again and again; the last message also was this— “Remember, don’t believe in anything because I have said it. Never believe anything unless you have experienced it.”
