Notes from the Wings Beloved Friends, it's been almost 4 years now that I have been, first co-editor and then editor 6 p u b l isher, of Osho Wings Newsletter. As suddenly as the Wings has come into mv life, motivating me to learn desktop publishing, it is now mov ing out of my l ife again. In

other words, Osho Wings is looking for a

or publishing team to take over thc newsletter. I have really enjoyed being mid w ife for Osho's vision in the world and to provide a tool to keep our community connected. Although I'm alw avs getting lots of positive feedback about thc Wings, it has been getting i ncreasinglv harder to find people that want tn wri t e articles, intervievvs etc., and express themselves in writing — understandibly so, it is very exposing! Let' s hope someone else or a group of people have luice to keep the Wings going, otherwise v c M ill have to kiss it good-bye for now, until something nciv arises again. If you have any inteiest in taking thc Wings over, contact mc on mandanaQ«hot!inks.net.au or on ph/fax 08-9319 33'10. Thanks for all the support!

h e European Union Commissioners have announced that agreement has bccn reached to adopt English as the prcfencd language for European communications, rather th<an German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement <and has accepted a five year phase-in plan for what will be known as EuroEn ~lish. iW In the first year, "s" will bc used instead of thc soft "c". Bivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k".

Not onlv will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less let ter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond vear when the troublesome "ph" v'ill bc replaced by "f", This will make words like "fotogr<at" 20 pcrsent shorter.

In the third year, publtk akscptanse of the new spelling kan bc expektcd to re<ach the st<age where more komplikated ch<angcs <are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have alw<avs ben a dcterent to <akurate speling. Also, al vvil agre that the horiblc mes of thc silent "e" in thc languag is disgrasful, <and it. >vould go.

By the fourth year peopl wil be rcscptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by "v". During ze fifz year ze unesesary "o" kan be dtopd frotll vorcls kontattlllag o u s t r n llar cllallges vud of kors be apllcl t'0 ozer kombinations of leters.

Ma Anand Megha Formally I' ve only been in the sannvas c()mmunity tor 3 years now. I have found it to be extremely nourishing and the people I'vc bccn in contact with have c(ll had v ery open h ea1't i ,i o ITLUch 'thrlt' whell I WAS dow n I n

Denmark recently — and they' ve got a wonderful conlITLUBI'I'y theI'e a n r l w a s asked: D o v o U w a.nt to rome rlown here to live, because everything is so beautiful, people arc open hearted?", that I' ve stopped and thought: "No, I' ve got all that in Pcrth and I have that with the sannyas community and it's very beautlf111, Horv is il for you norv lhnl the cr>nlre has closed dorvn?

I guess I wasn't surprised that the ccntrr did clr)se. In onc way there was sadness,because I used to love the celebrations there, in another way there is also excitement about thc unknown and w h a t's to unfr)ld and also thc responsibility is back on us as tr) thc energy and where wc direct it.

Do you hnve any visions for o>r r sr>»nyas ev>nn>unil I/ herr?

Mmmh, how can I have ideas ... (laughing) other(vise I'm living in the future. I guess it )vr)uld bc nice perhaps to have some central po>nt to get together, not necessarily a whole centre. 13ut somehow my feeling is that everything is as it should be, nothing is right, nothing is lvrong, it is just as it should bc ... and that fccls fine to me.

In a lot of ways I feel like our sannvias colT)munity Is being swallowed up by the great collective suburban Australian vacuum and what distinguishes us from thc rest of the world has been in a lot of ways eroded — like this big cultural sponge that sucks up thc sannyas community. And w hat makes us unique and different ­ I know we' ve all got our own inner world - but something collectively has gone astray.

And I also feel that a lot ot the altcrnati( e spiritual things that have come al()ng have eroded and watered down Osho s Illcssage aboUt el rllghtcnmcnt. I eople aI'e getting interested what is basically traditional Indian sp11'Ituahty al(d all tl'Lc unlrlU( thing.i that d Ist>ngUIsh Osho trom that crowd are being ignored and forgotten.

Something needs to shift in my eyes, but I'm not rluitc sure v(hat and hr)w ... Wake up calls are needed!

Ma Prem Dhyan Well, I' ve only just become a resident of Fremantle. The main reason Icame here was to further enhance my o)vn inner space. Some year» ago I started on the journey of the inner Selt and through most ot this journey I' ve been in India and I felt' lt' was 'I'IIYLc lo come to a community in mv olvn country w h ere I could bc with other people who arc on the same path.

I I'eel very strongly that if I'm surrounded by people who have a similar energetic focus, then my li/e beCOI'n( S more enriChed and CXpanded — I' n( etinr>r, C3

merging and melting )vith these other energies. This is really )vhy I came tn Fremantle. On the surface you could say I came bccausc of my friendships, I came because there is a community here, these is all really surface reasons, the truth i» I came t() deepen my experience of thc pa.th, W>'ll> the cenlre l>r ing closed a»rl no cr.ntrr>l yla(e fo>. sr>>'1»L/ns»'>s l'o gather, clo yr»r sl>ll feel l'he suyyr»'t.

Ma Prem Sono Wc don't wear malas and red clothes anymore and as of recently we don't even have a centre. I see ourselves being in a collective revolution where the structures of the past are outdated and the rules and social ideals of sannyas and community are changing. I celebrate this!

We need to open up and change and trust that out of the ashes thc phoenix (vil! arise.

Being here in the market plr~ce the community is unlimited. The face of the sannyas community is more subtle, more ordinary, and around Freo is heavily

structure. I see sannyas evolving as a result of one' s ()wn individual search and heightened by the search of others who are living in the close environment. Sr) the fact that there isn't a centre herc docsn't really impact on me b ecause there aI'c place.i whcI'c v()U can B)c(<'t and merge — on Friday night at White Robe is one — it d oesn t actUallv have 'to bc <( t)UIld lng 01' structure b u t really more opp()rtunitics for meditation, For example on thc Ncw Year wc mct for a silent I T(edit<)tlon clt 'I'he be<)eh< and It was ca very beauti fu l w a y to wclc()B(c thc Nc w M L IIC'BBIUB). So I th)nk It' Is those

sorts ()f ()pp()rtuniti(.s, m(<ditations, energetic meetings,

i rrespective of the structure — it is really not important ­ but opportunities to meet so I can expand my energy, This is why I' ve come to Fremantle,

Ma Subhadro The Fremantle sannyas scene...'? Well, it seems like it entered a very quiet phase with the centre not existing anymore. Basically I feel I don't gct to sce as many people but it's also that I' ve entered a more quiet phase myself, not going nut as much and it seems a bit like everybody is more intn their nwn li ttle lives.

Would you like fo see fhaf change? Do you have any visions for our corn)r)unify?

Well, something has just changed for me around that, For a while I found myself complaining about the saBnyas sccBe being s'tagnclnt ancl thcl't BothlBg Is happening, until I realised that it is exactly what' s happening for me on the inside. I'm nnt very much into being uut there, I'm not even going tu parties or things that are happening. I mean I'd really love tu live in a juicy, alive sannyas community but at the moment that isn't happening, neither outside nor inside ... sn, it's an Idea.

Salami Deva Indivar Indivar, hou< do you see fheFremont'le»ai'inyas coninlunlfy?

They are being the programme, the conditioned egn structure which leads them willy-nilly this way and that way. Tu hear one's nwn inner voice, one needs to be still.

So in accordance with this, what is thc community doing? It's not su much the Fremantlc community yuu need, but thc universal community the universal self that is already within you,

The new year has brought very interesting things, and onP of' these is tu provide a space where you can dive deep into thc well of pure being.

Hnw this is going tu come about, wc're Bot quito sure, but I' ve consulted a blnke called Mojud whu ended up being a gn>cer in some far distant SanlInaI'kand clncl hP has agI'Ped tu cnn)c to FIcnlclntle and give some indications nn huw to become grocers.

Because this is werc we left him, being a gznccr. And you may remember that all sorts of people came beCclUSP hC Wclsn t IUSt rl grncer. II . Wa s a gl'OCPI'

according to the Kidr. So hnw does one cc>ntact the Kidr? We sent across the Sammarkand and Mujud agreed that he is coming, hc is coming very soon and Blcly eVCB aPPerlr at Old I aPa S.

1-le's nof alias te»u» Cl)risl?

Nu, nn, he's called Neu-Frcr>, that's he's ncw name, nnt Mujud. So keep on thc look uut for Nco-Freo. This is the biggest, hottest news right from the press ... llaughingl.

Ma Deva Rupa

At a very interesting stage.

Why is )f infe)')1»ting?

When yuu plant seedlings in this hut weather, what is it votl have to clo?

You haz!efo zoafer them.

That's right. And w here tu yuu get the water from'?

Fro)n zo)fhln.

Nu, it's not within the plant. Not in the beginning, a little is in th» plant, but if the plant only depends on the water which exists within in, what would happen tu the plant ...? lf needs more.

Exactly, it needs morc. Where do you get the water from?

1'm fhe one asking the questions ... (laughing) ... you fell me!

This is were I see the community ... huw to obtain pure water? Because yuu can't usc nrdinarv salt writer — and voU crln gct plcntv of salt water from the ocean — but the plant v ill die. And so the whole exercise is huw to nbtain water from thc source to water your own li t tle plant. Osho talks about this. That in the beginning ynu can have experiences of satori and so forth, but this is only a glimpse, you have tn nourish these glimpses, you have tu nourish this inner flame and to dn that, ynu need the support of other like minded souls. These are thc real sannyasins, not necessarily following anything except their own inner voice. Now, one nf the things Osho kept saying again and again, "just be ynurself" and the difficulty is that nobodv is being themselves.

Thc I'rcmantle sannyas community is a really important part of mv ongoing journey. I'm really grateful for thc community here. I Irlving run the centre for 5 and. a half years, I learned during that. time not tu have tuo many judgments about what sannyas is, huw exactly a sannyas community should bc and huw things should go, I'm grateful for that experience. I don't find myself comparing it lvith anything else, I just feel pretty glad that I gut it.

I guess one of the main things that I'm glad about ­ the celebrations for one and that they continue tu happen — and just that t'eeling of being able tn be with people, There is something different about the way I can be around sannyasins. I feel that they take time tn actually see me ... I feel really seen and recognised, not ncccsslrily catcgnriscd, just people are receptive tn mc, su I feel thc space to be myself. I appreciate dropping dePpeI' In'tu Bly BlcclltatIon when w( g et together ancl meditate in a large group, like at the celcbratiuns.

Do ~p~u feel fh'is commun)'fy support.' you in liz!ing on fhe razor's edge?

My connection with sannyasins does two things for me.

F01' OBP I't helps Blc tu have cl I'e<111l'y chPck what Irly

priorities are. If I get too obsessed with getting my financial trip, or my this or that trip together and I bump Into a saBByasln tn have a cUp uf tPa duwnt'own or at cclcbratznns, I suddenly realise what my pr>orities are. One of the beautiful things rlbotlt' t'his conlnlUnlty herc is that people are doing what they really want tz> do and the priority is tn enjoy life.

This quote from Osho sums up this quality of Venus In the second house: I are over, the madness subsided, the Y2>< bug has done its thing or not by Bow, Bnd thc New Year/Century / M i l l e nnium Resolutions about your new and better habits lic broken and scattered on the floor, Arc we still here? Are you Enlightened vet'? FIas humanity blown itself up or become awakened in a great orgasmic collective release of ecstasy,love and awareness? I for onc, hope the second is true ...

Astrologers are supposed to have some intelligent answers, right? I know no morc than you do about it all, but I just love to have a look at th» planetary picture that presents at this time (at any time, actu<311V) — I admit It, I'm an addict.

So, let's look Bt th» Twenty-First Century Chart.

This cheart 15 c<1iculatcd for january '1st, 2000, at Midnight for Fremantle — the symbolic moment of thc death of the old century/ m i l l ennium and the birth of the n»w. While it is true that thc Millennium is founded on our modern man-made W»stern calenders, )ve h<3ve all been living with this time system for so long now, th» energy and the collective symbolism is very strong for us, I Ivon't go into cvcry detail of the chart — it

"The first link in lhe chain is self-love. Let us love oiirselves. l et this love be unhi>zdered nnd unconditionnl. IIe zvho ca>>not love himself is incapable of lr)vi>ig others.

headache, so here are the most interesting features <35 I see them: Libra is the Rising Sign, or thc Ascendant. P)cautiful.

Wonderful. The sign of Libra (at 8 degrees) was rising over the Eastern Horizon at Midnight Bnd so casts it' s energy gently over the chart. Libra is thc sign of balance, h<3rmonv, peace and be<duty <3nd Its ruling planet is Venus, the beautiful goddess of Love.

Venus, as the Ruler of the Ascendant, is the ruler of th» chart. Venus rules the heart chakra, and represents bc<3uty, peace, relationship, sensu<3lity and artistic creativity. She entered th» sign of S<agitt<3rius on New Y»ars Eve. Sag as vou probably know is a fire sign with boUnt'lfUl, boisterous, fUB-fillccl CBt'hUslastlc cneI'gv, hope and optimistic visions of the future (fantastic for New, Year's Evc partying). It is also the sign of the spiritual seeker, the restless gipsy soul (travel) and the search for trut'h and meaning. I ooking good.

Scorpio is the sign on the cusp of the second house <3nd its planetary ruler Pluto is in thc second house along with Venus. Thc plot thickens and deepcns and darkcns.

And the big news in thc astrological world is th<1t thcIC ls a conjunction of PLLTO and CHIRON at 11 degrees SAGITTARIUS. This last occurred in 1941 in Leo. I'luto is !hc plrlnct of clccp I n tense tIBnsfol ment>on thc1t occUls t'hl'OUgh cl»Bth, volcBBlc CI Up'tlons fro>n thc Undel world and confrontation with our sh<3dow B<3ture Bnd fear of death — we must dive dc»p within Bnd die in so many vvays to w<ake up — the ultim<3te rebirth. Chiron is the Wounded Healer — <3g<3in, healing and cleansing come through exposing the wound and experiencing thc pain, whether it be physical or emotional. Chiron asks that w» feel it all in thc body — to observe and experience our fear and all thc ways we slip out of the body and the present moment, in order to not feel what's <3ctu<311y happening.

And wh<3t'5 happening mostly is that we arc

experiencing separation and fear — fear of letting go and opening to thc blissful onencs» of life — this i» the

This conjunction in Sagittarius in thc Second House (are you still with us?) embodies these themes of powclful transfnrmati()n of our spiritual beliefs and value systems. It's important to see that Sagittarius is also the sign of religious fanaticism — how arc our fanatical beliefs actually blocking the way to what it is we truly seek?

This Plutonic ener gy ar o und the second house reinforces what Osho tried to show Us In so nlany ways — there IS NO security. There is only the present moment and a life to be lived. The Moon in Scorpio in thc First I-louse (opposite Saturn in Taurus and Neptune in Aquarius) is significant herc — emotional intensity and the possibility of dissolution (Neptune) of our clinging to earthly attachments (Saturn in Taurus), Moon In a water sign square Neptune all denotes disillusionment, <grief and acute sensitivity within the emotional body and second chakra.

Sagittarius is on the cusp of the Third House of communication, and its ruler JUPITER is in Aries in the 7th House ot Relationship — open, direct and oncst coBlmlul)cation ln «II relr'Iti()n»hips 1» fhc wav t o go. Oh SHIT! I n t crcstinglv, thc l3LACK MOO N i s also in Sagittarius in the hard in aspect to Jupitcr ­ bringing out all the hidden unsp()kcn stuff that may have been buried for lifetimes — whatcvcr that is for vou. Share it with others — you' re n()t alone — everyone else feels like vou do! Bring it out of the dark and into the light and fire of Sagittarius (remember, Osho in thc bodv was a Sagittarian — did hc ever back down from speaking his truth?)

There are many other areas in the chart wc could explore, but it would take pages to do so. Overall, the fee111(g I g( t froln f h l s ch<11't 1» 'that 1tls csscnticllly

Osho '- li'4,.'Category Of His Own "Dr> iiot seelr zvisdorn, just cease tu hold opinio>is." Sosan Having quoted Sosan's sword to the mind, I w il! nnw, display the full nature of my unenlightenment by exploring some of my present opinions.

Osho is nnt like any other Master! When I hear him being put in the same box as the var i o u m asqueraders of mastery that prnlifcrate at the moment, I nearly have eclipsions. Even to put Oshn in the same bnx as His contemporary fellow Enlightened Beings is a disturbing concept. Thc fact is that He is different. Whv? Simple...

Let it be said in His wo rds: "I am for nrrr>T's spiritual grozvflt, but I u>tdersta»d spiriturtl gvoz(>/IT in its whrzle con/ex/. It is >rut so>nething sepnrnte, one­ di>ne»siunnl; it is n miilti-dimensional pile>io>ne>ron. lt needs rl revolution in society.

We hnve /o create a discontinuity zvith /he past. O>rly /hen n nezL >rt(T>T—a really spiritunl r>tnn, a >rravi of cosmic dimensio>is — cnn be brzvn."

Nnt nnc nf Oshn s cnnternpnlBries llas evcil macle thc slightest suggestion of the radical changes needed in society that Osho has spelled out sn clearly. Of course they are all pointing tn spiritual grow th, but none of them have thc courage or the clarity tn name, condemn and rc-vision the very society we live in, I came tn Osho via Wilhelm 14eich — whn apart from being the father of modern body based therapv and the t'irst window tn Tant>a ill tile west, went through some wild and wo nderful political phases, that left him in no doubt as to the emotional diseases of mndern man the kind of social changes that would have to occur if we are tn sul'vlvc and pl'nspcl as B species.

I came also to Osho via Gurdjieff. He left nnc in no doubt as tn the nature of nur hypnotic sleep. But he never named the institutions that were rc-inforcing that sleep, nor re-visioned them.

IF I wanted a spiritual angel who w<as remnved from society I would have and could have gone clscwhcrc. Tn R<(man Maharshi pcrhBps. Wllat clnes Osho say about Maharshi (the source of most of those presently on the Guru circuit)? This ...

"I(n>na>T Ma/in> shi is a mi/stic of the highest quality, buf- n Mrister of t/<e lowest (7iiczlitt/."

"He never sni/s nnythi>ig ngairzst any sir perstittc>n, ngai»st a»y /relief tl>rat is based 0» lies. He never criticises any religion, any politic.s. He is»0/ revolufiu»ary. He is not interesfed in trn»sfov>nir>g hu>nan beings, creating n beffev soci ef y."

zzested interc'st, rrc>t in nriy zuay proposing n >tew »tart, n new huinanity. He is fcilfilled nnd contented; /ie is f't»i»bed zvith the Zoo>Id." What about Meher Baba? Nnxv here I have some experience. I recent times nf extreme doubt and despair, usually around my incapacity tn even comprehend Oshn's vision in the whole mad dance of relationship, I have longed tn fall into the loving hands of Mchcr Baba.

I 1vrr>te to Oshn about this. Osho was very clear with me. One cannot have two Masters, choose wh(> tn be with. Then be total. With blessings!

Osho on Meher Baba: Meher BL>bn is not fi>iished <vith the zvorld i>i flze same sense ns Rn>nnn Mnhnrslii. But he is i>iteresfed 0>ily i» i/our spivitunl grozvth — as tf spiritual gvozczfli is so>nethi>ig separcrfe fro>n the zvhole»tr«cfure uf society, veligiovi, education, pnst, all the t>ndifions, co»ventio>is.

Oshn tonk B consistent and similar tack with Gurdjicff: Hc'. >s flic' >»us/ LI I'1i(/tie Masfel' tlir/ zvuv/d has eve>" sc'c.*>'I, />Lit his tr»iqueness created a rlista>rce between hint n>rd the riormrzl hurna>rity."

The other possibility is Krishnamurti: "And the fourth vvran, J.

The Fact is, I for one was never interested in boLving to anv »Bint. N(zr dr> I feel like I wall t tn bc br>und bv thc etiquette of the Mcw Agc by not saying anvthing against anybodv's ref'ramed belief's and superstitions. The NCLv Agc isn't called Christianity in drag for nothing. I love the devil in my M aster as much as the god. I love the fact that he hammered my Christian cr>nditinning, dared

to confront the fucked-upness of society head-on and who put the whole subject of collective political, spiritual and psychological insanity so clearly on the collective table f' or all to see. And that He articulated a clear and consistent vision of thc New H u m a n ity in response to all the shit — that is still going down. A vision that is still sorely missing in the whole of the w orld nleclIB. Left, Iklght and Ncw A g e .

I love it when I hear Osho talking nf thc days in ancient India when dcbatc was such acherished pastime, thBt intelligence got. honed to dtanloncl clarity< then fell via the hear into being.

Bestdes Osho, not onc charBctct hBs shown themselves, in the twentieth century, who has taken on this huge task with such B wide sweep of his paintbrush. And the only Master I' ve ever found in the past who dared be so socially radical was the Zen Master, Ikkyu. His life story is worth a read.

For all those daring to give Batsang, it's not enough to look like you' ve swallowed the sun and the moon to get this little black duckic in your sway. Have you got the courage to confront the whole society with its blindness? How about us getting some of Osho's hotter ideas back into focus?

Ma Anand Asanga When I was in Poona last time I tuned into our situation here in Frcmantlc and I felt that it is very unique. Wc have a network here, vou can almost call it B underground nctw()rk iand we are all connected with each other like a grapevine. It manifests itself in parties or when I go into Fremantle and Bccidcntallv meet sannyasins on the street. I feel this is a community, ()ur kind of commu n i ty and wh en I tUned Int'0 It In I oon1, I't felt jUst right.
