THE MARGARETRVER

CONNECTlOÃ

Meditation Centre

In recent months Margaret River has again, after many years, become a place that sannyasins are drawn to. Whilst in Poona this year I met an old sannyasin who had been with Osho in the days when he gave discourses in Bombay. Listening to her talk about those times with so much love made me feel like a small child listening to magical fairy tales. It was truly a blessing to spend time vv ith her. I spoke to her about Margaret River and how I feel that it is becoming a place that sannyasins wish to spend time in. She said, "Start a centre there, go to Shivanu at Global Connections and speak to her about how you feel." So that is what I did, as it felt so right. So with my p artner Hasina we have brought a seed from the Budcl hafteld and planted it here in Margaret River. Things are just starling up as we have only been back 4 weeks. At this time we can offer info about the area that we live in for sannyasins passing through, a number of Osho books to read and in time discourses to listen to. Also any news updates received from Poona. In time I envision a Meditation Centre which will be able to provide the facilities to hold groups, meditations etc. In fact later this year Halima and N i k etan will be holding groups in this area, dates to be fixed in the near future. At the least we can offer a cup of tea served with love. I feel the seed will grow and blossom into a flower that radiates Osho's love and vision,

NOTES FROMTHEWINGS The Wings is back on track! As you probably all noticed the last issue didn't come together. Sorry for any inconvenience! Of course the missing issue won't be counted in your subscription. - While away in Poona I often felt so lucky to know I vv as able to return to a place with a sannyas network, w ith m ed i d tations happening, celebrations, groups and even a Path of Love sharing group & m e d i t ations, I realized I can't take this aII for granted as many people don't have such a supportive home environment. And I felt grateful to be able to contribute by creating the Wings. This time the Osho discourse didn't come together until the last moment, it can be hours and hours of searching through books. Sending in a copy of your favo u rite di s c ourse wo u ld be a big help and greatly appreciated. I hope you' ll all enjoy this issue and its experimental new look .

ME D ITATIC~N D A Y S are happening again at Kirana. As I searched for the "right" words to share and promote the IVic ditation Days I kept coming back to what the basis of the Meditation Days are; the coming together with others and creating a space for medita tion, This is an xtremely beautiful and nourishing thing to do for ourselves, and it is so simple! To have such a beautiful setting is an added bonus, Mre will be using the "Golden Oldies" medita tions (Ie. Nataraj, Kundalini), but each day we will also be doing a less =ommon meditation and some of the later ones Osho devised for us. It is impot tant to wear loose, comfortable cloth ing, to bring your own lunch and your bathers and

INTERVIEW

H ow d oe s th e H a r a r e l at e t o m e n ?

WITH

For men the big thing with the hara is problems with authority. A lot of times mcn have been pushed down by the father, he represents the hara to them. They can carry this resentment all through their life, what we call a short fuse which explodes into reaction against any authority figures or anyone they might be putting up as an authority. If you' re carrying this around you' re carrying around a stick of dynamite. Clearing this charge brings mcn into their true male po~ er.

RAJ

Casey, reporter in thefield for Osho Wings, spoke to Raj abont the entpou)ertnent of the Ifara.

What ki nd o f r e s u l ts could s om e o n e expect from H a r a wo r k ' ?

What is t he f u n c t i on of t h e H a r a ?

If your Hara is not open and clear, you cannot feel your bliss and joy inside. When you can't feel this you' re basically pushing away or being unattractive to anything that comes your way. You cannot stay in your centre, in your hara. With a charge there, if someone says anything or even looks at you the wrong way you' ll explode into anger and frustration which you' re holding down th rough tension in thc hara, When someone hits that you lose your centre. You' re actually looking for someone to put your anger and frustration onto to release it. But unless you work to dispel the charge you' ll keep carrying it throughout your life and basically miss life and what you need for your nourishment. In this work I' ve identified three types of hara blocks. There's the overactive hara which is pushing outward and always trying too hard. This actually pushes people away. There's also the dormant hara where the hara is not functioning. These people are mostly functioning through the mind. The positive functions of the hara, spontaneity and bliss, are not happening in any way, When you go intothe hara you feel a strong pulse beat in most people but the dormant hara has to be activated to get it wo r k i ng. This type of person has very low energy. They don't want to live and be in their life force, Hara work brings them into their energy and power. The aggressive hara is totally charged. N o b ody w a nts to be around them, They' re usually talking about negative things. Once the hara is cleared and functioning strongly you have the potential to be in total bliss and total love all the time.

The hara is the first point existence brings f'orth our life force energy. It can bring forth im m ense bliss which is our true nature. Because of our conditioning and the things that happen to us in our life we close down our hara and it can become very negative. In the negative it is the source of anger, frustration and resentment, which is held in the hara. It represents male power because it has to do with outw ardly expressing your energy. Energy comes into the hara but nothing happens until we have a desire. Once we have a desire, the hara kicks in and sends energy to the bones to actually move the body toward that desire, It's also the source of spontaneity, of doing wi t h out th in k ing, the source of instincts. When you have an open hara you just know. In Tibetan Healing it is called the real mind. It's one of t he primary organs in Tibetan healing. It's your im m u n e system. When the hara is open you cannot gct sick.

How does th e H a r a r e l at e t o w o m e n ? Because the hara represents male power it's often one of the biggest difficulties for women wh o deny their male side. They' re good at being receptive but have trouble expressing energy outwardly. T h ese days a lot of women are in quite a reaction to men. A big disease around that is candida, which is a disease of the Hara. It is frustration, resentment and fear associated with the m ale. A recent American survey sho~ed that two third s of women have candida. It is an epidemic all over the world. Women are recognizing more and more how they were pushed down b y a m a l e dom i nated society and a lot of resentment is coming up, All of this is held in the hara. It's a big issue here in Australia being a very male dominated society also. One thing I' ve seen a lot in Australia is a great fear in women of their own feminin e energy. This society has a lot of male aggression which creates fear in women about expressing their feminine energy. This energy comes from the ovaries, and is a bout loving being a woman, being playful w ith y o u r sexual energy, When a woman is in that energy she' s extremely attractive to the male. One of the most valuable things about this hara group is that it frees women from a lot of this charge in the hara.

Why are yo u d r a w n

to this work?

I' ve been working w ith Tibetan healing for ten years and teaching for seven years, I trained in India with the founder of Tibetan healing Dheeraj. In Tibetan Healing there are 24 different organs in the body. Every person' s voice resonates on a different frequency. That frequency represents an organ. My specific organ is hara. I have a lot of the attributes of the hara both negative and positive and I' ve worked extensively on a lot of the issues I'm talking about. So what I'm teaching is what I ' ve discovered and learned through my ow n experience. A lot of these techniques I developed through healing myself of negativity in the hara. My

teacher told me I should teach this. So I started the hara group seven yeats ago and have taken it to Europe, America, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.

........Phone: 9430: $509 enthusiasm. The negative is apathy, not getting too excited about things.

H ow d oes t his w or k a f f ect re lat i n g ? How do We ! terners relate to th e H a r a ? The hara is being able to do, say, and be who you are in every moment. blot thinking "I can't do this! It's not the r ight place or tirr.e, what will they think, nobody wi l l like me ". Western conditioning doesn't want you to be in your hara, alive, spontaneous and acting in the moment. Society wants to form you into what is socially acceptable. It doc s not want indiv i d u als. The hara person is a very . trong indivi du al. He is true to himself.

We seem to be in a time where an impasse has been reached between men and ~ o men and each seems quite cynical about relating with the other. A lot of the negativity b e t ween men and women is held in the hara, the pubic bone and in the hip area. This comes from fear of the other. In working together. to clear this energy in asafe and non-sexual way, men and women become very supportive of each other and this energy permeates their relating.

ls it different in th e E a s t ?

How does the Ha r a a f f e ct th e h e a r t ?

One place that u. es the hara a lot is Japan. The word hara-kiri means piercing the hara. The hara is your life force energy, if you pierce it, your life energy will go out of it and you' ll die. It's a very slow, agonising death and it was done when a very proud person was humiliated.

When the hara is open it sends energy through all the different meridians and organs in the body. The heart and hara are directly in line with each other. When the hara is open it is a total overflowing blissful energy which goes directly to the heart. The heart is a very strong magnetic energy and when it is open it pulls to you whatever you need m your life. When someone' s heart is open people congregate around that person, The heart opens not through doing things for others and making sure everyone else is okay but by totally loving yourself, giving yourself what you need, nurturing yourself, going beyond putting yourself down. When you love yourself you will spark others' heart around you. '+'

Each country res>nates on a certain frequency. Japan's frequency is the hara. Because the earth is so turned around from where it's supposed to be, most countries have gone into the negative aspect of their organ. Most Japanese have pushed down their hara. Their outward energy is completely repressed. Unless they' ve done some strong kincl of work, like martial arts, they' re not in touch with their spontaneity and totality, Most Japanese are totally in the mind repressing their feeling and everything that comes up. Australia is the country of the spleen. Th s p l een is about inspiration and

New Premises are located in South Fremantle, 256 Hampton Road, have ample free parking, and a bus stop outside the front door.

In contrast to Mouat Street, which couldn't be used during business hours, we are not restricted by other tenants in the building, or by neighbours.

This event is scheduled for June/July and we are looking for feedback about which time of day is suitable. Did you catch satsang on channel 10 a few weeks ago? Justine put together a short documentary as part of the I.OUD festival. It was a terrific piece on hcr life as a postie that meditates. She gave the sannyas lifestyle so much juice in this short production. Great to see some positive airplay. Feel free to pop in sometime after March 1st to check out the Leela's new home. The office hours will be extended. Suggestions and possibilities are welcomed. Life continues in its mysterious way sweeping us along its path of experiences.

8 evenings 4

Wor ksh op:

April 8/15/22/29 and May 4/6/'7/13. '7-10pm Performance: vari. May15 Coming back to Fremantle I'm reminded of last August and a bunch of gutsy, spunky people who got up in front of close to three hundred people one Friday night at Club Zorba and celebrated themselves and each other. Being in front of an audience brings energy, lots of it!! It also brings you right into the moment, with that sudden realization that three hundred pairs of eyes are looking at you. You' re not thinking about what movie you' re going to see this week or what you' re gonna have for breakfast tomorrow, you' re right here, right now. Feeling the butterflies in the belly, the energy rushing through your body and feeling very alive! For most of the people involved it was the first time performing in front of an audience, yet as the dancing continued whatever self doubts and fears might have been there before dissolved into the energy and magic of the moment. The audience of friends, family and the curious felt the enthusiasm of the performers and laughed and cheered to see their friends in a different light. To be seen in your aliveness and in your juice can be a shaky thing and even after years of dancing and performing professionally I can still relate to that feeling. It is a very liberating experience to expose your beauty and your dignity, to say "yes I'm here", something that everyone present that night could feel. Everyone's dancing is unique and it was a joy that evening to see that every single person came out and shone in their own unique w'ay. I spent years studying modern dance and ballet from many different teachers, martial arts from a master, acting from theatre directors and contact dance from the founders of that form. And yet I was still dissatisfied. I was looking for more and it wasn't until

meeting Osho that I really understood the essence of what I was after. From these years with Osho I have learned 3 keys for dance: %'ust, T o t a l i ty 6 L e t G o . Trusting yourself and your body, being totally present and letting go into whatever happens. The simplicity and elegance of a master's insight. A big bravo to those courageous ones and an invitation to all those who would love to give it a go, in spite of the fears, the doubts and whatever voices that may want to hold you back. 'Cause when the

energy gets big enough, nothing can stop you from being yourself!

Beloved Os ho, I am becoming more and more conscious of the barriers I have built up in myself over the years against being a joyful self-loving open being. It feels like the wail in me is getting stronger and stronger the more I am aware of it, and I can' t come through. Do I first need more courage? My beloved beautiful master, could You please help me with Your understanding?

e first thing to understand is that the wall is not

becoming stronger; it is only that your awareness is becoming clear. There is no reason at all why the wall should become stronger when you are becoming more aware. It is simply like when you bring li ght in you r dark house, you start seeing the cobwebs and the spiders — not that they have suddenly started grow ing because you have brought light in. They have al~ ays been there; it is just that you are becoming aware, alert. But don't think that they are growing. Your light has nothing to do with their. growth. Yes, it reveals their

presence. Your growing awareness is revealing the presence of your prison walls. And you say, "I am aware of it and I can't come through." Because these walls are not true walls — they are not made of bricks or stone, they are made of only thoughts — they cannot prevent you. You just have to know the secret of how to come through them. If you start struggling wi thin y our th o u ght processes, which constitute the prison wall, then you w il l get into a tremendous mess. One ran even go insane,

at's how people go insane: they are surrounded by so many thoughts and they are trying hard to come out of the crowd and they go on getting deeper and deeper into the crowd, and then naturally a breakdown follows. Their nervous system cannot sustain so much pressure and so much tension.. They have opened Pandora's box, It was all hidden there, but they v'ere blissfully unaware of it. Now they have brought a meditative awareness; suddenly they see a great crowd so thick that the more they try the more they feel their impotence against the walls that are surrounding them. If you start fighting w it h them then there is no way; you will find y o u rself slipping from your sanity. But if you use a right method, instead of a breakdown you will have a breakthrough. The right method to deal with all that you feel you are surrounded w ith is to be just a witness - not to fight, not to judge, not to

condemn. Just remain silent and still, purely wi tnessing whatever is there. This is almost a miracle. I have not come across any miracle other than the miracle of meditation, the miracle of witnessing. If you can witness, you will be surprised that the strong is becoming thinner, the crowd is dispersing; slowly, slowly you see doors and gaps through which you can get out. But there is no need to get out. Remain where you are. Just go on witnessing. As your w i t nessing will b ecome stronger, the wall that surrounds you wi l l become weaker. The day your w i t nessing will be perfect, you will find there has been no wall, nothing is surrounding you. Rather than fighting w ith thoughts, fighting against wrong conditionings, just become a pure witness. Fighting you cannot win. Without fighting victory is yours. Victory belongs only to those who can witness.

ymie Goldberg was having trouble getting Beckie, his wife, to make love to him anym ore, So one night just before bedtime, he offered her a glass of water and two aspirins. "What are you giving me those for?" Beckie asked. "I have not got a headache." "Great," said Hy m ie. "Let us get started." This headache was the problem. Every day, whenever poor Goldberg would ask, the wife was having a great headache. This time he worked through a different methodology. Beckie could not understand that now he is using a very wise strategy - offering aspirins even before she has said she has a headache.

So just be a little wise ... Osho Wings — March lApril

octor Klein finished the examination of his patient and then said, "You are in perfect health, Mr. Levinsky, your heart, lungs, blood pressure, cholesterol level, everything is fine." "Splendid," said Mr. Levinsky. "I will see you next year," said Doctor Klein. They shook hands, but as soon as the patient had left the room, Doctor Klein heard a loud crash, He opened the door and there, flat on his face, lay Mr. Levinsky. The nurse cried, "Doctor, he just collapsed. He fell down like a rock." The doctor felt his heart and said,"My God, he is dead." He even put his hands under the corpse's arms. "Quick,"said the doctor, "take his feet!" "What?" cried the nurse. "For God's sake," said the doctor, "let us turn him round. We have to make it look like he was coming in!"

to be difficult to transcend, Although the strategy is simple, sometimes the simple seems to be the most difficult - and particularly when you are absolutely unacquainted with it, Meditation is only a word to you. It has not become a taste, it has not been a nourishment, it has not been an experience for you; hence I can understand your difficulty. But you have also to understand my difficulty: your diseases may be many, but I have only one medicine, and my difficulty is to go on selling the same medicine for different patients, different diseases. I don' t care what your disease is, because I know I have got only one medicine. Whatever your disease I will discuss it, but finally you have to accept the same medicine. It never changes. As far as I know, in these thirty-five years it has never changed. I have seen millions of people, millions of different questions, and even before I hear their questions, I know the answer. It does not matter what their question is; what matters is how to manage to bring their question to my answer. The maths teacher turned to little Ernie and said, "Ernest, if your father borrowed three hundred dollars and promised to pay back fifteen dollars a week, how much would he owe at the end of ten weeks?" "Three hundred dollars," Ernie quickly replied. "I am afraid," said the teacher, "that you don' t know your maths very well." "I am afraid," said Ernie, "that you don't know my father."

not of much use unless you are intelligent enough to know how to use it. Just the other day I came across a tremendously great discovery. It says that every idiot you meet in the world is the end-product of millions of years of evolution. Intelligence is certainly rare but the people who have gathered around me - just the fact that they had the courage to be here is enough proof of their intelligence.

Beloved Osho, l have heard, that when You walk Your feet don't touch the ground. Have you something to say about it? at's true. when I walk, my feet don't touch the ground- but there is nothing miraculous about it. They don't touch the ground because I always wear shoes, If it does not satisfy you — because you would like your master to be a great miracle-maker - then just to satisfy you, I would like to say that those shoes are of awareness, and if you also wear the shoes of awareness, your feet will not touch the ground. It is simple, not miraculous. And you have asked, "Have you something tosay about it?" That is dangerous. The time is over. I have nothing to say about it , but if I have to say, it takes ninety minutes... and the time is over, and my bladder is full, and I would like to go to the bathroom. Excuse me. Enough for today.

And for those of you who are health conscious, just pretend you di d n' t read this and dream of a juice bar with carrot juice and healthy snacks, maybe if enough people dream about it, it might happen one day! A nyway, if you overdid it w it h t h e coffee, you can now go straight tn the Mariam toilets and you' ll find there are these big commercial toilet p a p e r ro l ls installed, Great! No more digging for the crumpled up napkin somewhere in your pu rse or pocket, Only now these toilets have become a bit more popular and you m i ght have to wait a little. But this is actually a test run and if it

India — Oh what a feeLing! I had planned to come to India previously and it never happened. In hindsight I can see I wasn't ready. This trip is my first overseas adventure and, oh vvhat an adventure! Upon arrival I was overwhelmed by the pollution, the crowds, the noise and the smell. I felt I was on another planet. The commune is something else again. The complete polar opposite, Being here, whether its out on the street or in the commune is confronting. Having said that, I' ve never felt more supported by existence even though I' ve had the rug pulled out from beneath my feet (my passport, money and credit card were stolen). This adventure has changed me in ways I' ll be eternally grateful for!

proves successful there might be soon toilet paper to be found in all the toilets. According to a survey last year, the lack of toilet paper in the commune was the one thing newcomers from the West didn't enjoy very mu ch. Also banking is easier now, Ku b er has moved to a bigger and nicer place just next to the cappuccino bar, providing nice tables to conduct your personal money a ffairs in a beautiful surround in g . And of course there is Mahakashapa,the building of the New B u d d h a H a l l and t he Dharamsala, a five star hotel, according to Osho's vision, The new Buddha Hall is going to be one and a half times as big as the old one. It is also going to be air-conditioned and air purified and will be sound proof for daily loud dynamic. The installation of a fiber-optic cable is planned so that Osho's video can be broadcasted via satellite around the globe. Fantastic, we can all m atch the same video, what a synchronisity! Underneath the new buddha hall is going to be a new kitchen and a locker and shower area, nice... The five star h o t e l ma k es sense too. In order for Osho's vision to really have a global impact, more people with w o r l dly p o wer and m oney w il l have to get interested in meditation and they probably w o u l dn' t want to stay at Popular Heights, would they?! These are just some of the outer changes at the Commune International in Poona, but what this beautiful place does best, is providing you w ith a nourishing environment for your personal and inner changes. Thank you Osho. Ma Shanti Mandana

M a Prem Su ra b h i Over the past 10 years I have packed up and left Fremantle to Pune many times, mostly not knowing at all why I'm leaving my h ome yet again. For me this place is the ultimate 'Mystery School". Sometimes I feel I am in heaven - a precious oasis and it's all worth it; other times am I in hell' ?! Nla Subhad ro My experience of Poona is so different every time! This time, I wasn't looking for intensity. I started working and having a very simple life ... but intensity found me, god knovvs how, and aLL those very will ing mi r rors around me keep throwing me back to myself. That' s where I am at this moment, very much by myself, feel ing supported in going deeper by my friends and this spaciousness that is the buddhafield. Osho Today is the day. This moment is the moment. And this is my promise: I will try to linger on this shore as long as possible. And even when my ship is gone, whenever your tears will call me, or your laughter, I will be with you. And w h enever you wiLL dance and sing, you will find m y shadow also present there.

From Devil ToOwning OurShadows by Ma Shanti Prem are standing at the end of a century and millennium as well as the end of an astrological age. There is considerable argument about the actual date/ t im e of the beginning of the Aquarian age, but most astrologers agree that we are in an overlap period now and have been for the last half of this century, Predictions of tidal waves, earthquakes, the landing of flying saucers, the second coming of Christ and the earth shifting on its polar axes aren't unique to us in the 20th century. They are archetypal images of

awareness that we are indeed part of a vast and interconnected life entity, both biologically 4

and psychologically. That

very awareness is going to stir up everything wi thin us which obstructs us from living our vision or our truth. On a more optimistic and positive note, the movement towards psychological and spiritual growth reflects very subtle but important changes beginning in the collective, which is very much change and an expression of the fear that change tends about taking responsibility for the fact that our lives are to evoke in us collectively, We cannot have change characteristic of ourselves. As already stated, this without something dying, an experience of new birth doesn't necessarily herald an age of love and and redemption must always be preceded by the death brotherhood, possibly a more of old attitudes. realistic conclusion could be a The flavour of the period of a great deal of Viscean age, which is ending, + Nhilst the Pi s cean age was individual pain as well as healing was marked by Iongmg for as one confronts the question of union with the divine and characterised by the proj e ction of the truth and what is real. escape from the mortality and Another major theme of the corruption of earthly life.

THE INVITATION It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to I<now what you ache for,

and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to I<now if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive, It doesn*t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to I<now if you have touched the centre of your

own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. f

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you

to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you' re telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;

if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty

even if it is not pretty everyday, and if you can source your life from God's presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours or mine,

and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes"!

ft doesn't jnterest me to,know where you live and ho4v much money you have~ I want to know if you can get up after the night of

grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children. I doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to I<now if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
