change themselves.
Hence I am against renouncing the world.
Be in the world, however difficult it is -- because it is only in the world that you will be reminded on every step what kind of mind you are carrying within.
And that mind is projected on the outside, and it becomes huge because so many minds are projecting in the same way.
"You are the world" is not a mathematical statement.
"You are the world" is a psychological insight.
And it can become the very key for the only revolution that can succeed.
Question 2
BELOVED OSHO,
HAVE YOU ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT `CHANNELING'? SUPPOSEDLY A SPIRIT BEING SPEAKS THROUGH A WILLING HUMAN HOST. THIS IS A GROWING PHENOMENON THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, PARTICULARLY IN CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK.
THERE ARE FAMOUS ONES -- SETH, RAMTHA AND LAZARUA. BUT NOW THEY ARE SPRINGING UP EVERYWHERE -- PEOPLE CLAIMING TO CHANNEL KWAN YIN, BEINGS FROM OTHER GALAXIES, ETC., ETC. A COMMON THEME SEEMS TO BE THAT THEY HAVE COME TO HELP THE PLANET EVOLVE RIGHT NOW.
THE WORD `CHANNELING' IS ABOUT AS COMMON AS `COCA COLA'. EVEN SOME SANNYASINS ARE CLAIMING TO CHANNEL THIS ONE OR THAT ONE. THERE IS ALMOST AN ATTITUDE THAT IF ONE IS NOT CHANNELING SOMEONE, ONE IS NOT OPEN TO SPIRITUAL POSSIBILITIES.
IS CHANNELING A REAL PHENOMENON? WHY IS THIS SPRINGING UP RIGHT NOW, AND WHY ARE PEOPLE SO ATTRACTED TO CHANNELED BEINGS AND INFORMATION? IS THERE ANYTHING FOR OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN THIS?
David and Kaveesha, California needs all kinds of idiotic ideas.
It seems all the idiots of the world are born in California.
It is the land of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Everything is possible in California. But it remains only for a few years -- three years, four years at the most; then the fashion changes.
In California everything is a fashion -- and when something is in fashion everybody is involved in it, because not to be involved in it means you are out of date, lagging behind, not belonging to the contemporary world.
Channeling is simply a new name for an old disease.
In the past they used to call it `being possessed by a ghost'.
Channeling
