More Osho

INTRODUCTION
Some six years ago a friend of mine bought herself a tarot deck. It was a rather beautiful one, displaying more than hundred cards with images. This tarot deck is called the osho tarot and every time I visited her I used to shuffle the cards (not too seriously) until one card fell out of the deck onto the floor. I then read the text belonging to that particular card and I often concluded that the card was quite symbolic for the current position I was in. I don't see her a lot these days so I hardly use these cards anymore.
It is funny to consider the possibility that the author of these cards, Osho, would actually respond to something that I have written. He couldn't respond from India since he has been dead since 1990, but he could talk back from heaven. I received a second article said to have come from Osho a few days ago which was given the title 'Gibbon's discussion'. You can again take a look at the original text by clicking on this link.
FLATTERING
It is quite flattering to have a guest like Osho on the show, especially when he actually refers to me and I place articles that would have come from his 'heavenly' mind on my site. Wouldn't all this make me more important? Shouldn't I bow for his ultimate wisdom?
Fortunately I have learnt a few things during the years. It was Larry who eloquently responded to the first Osho-article, describing the 'guru-disciple' trap:
None of the "gurus" ever meant to be worshipped. That is a side effect of trying to help humans. By the way did you ask for the name or address of this being so we can get a head start on building a church for them??
So, I don't intend to worship anyone or anything, not even Osho from heaven. I prefer to remain 'grounded' and explore any thought that passes by, whether from Osho, from other readers or from myself. I don't want to get caught in another restrictive paradigm either. I still hold on to the principle of 'one-topic-at-a-time' and if something enters my mind that doesn't have anything to do with articles from this South African Group I will give that thought right of way. I don't want to get involved in Osho-stress or anything of the kind.
This of course doesn't mean that I will not treat the material with respect, but I have learnt that I need some time to integrate information and I don't want to become some kind of Osho parrot either. Well, having said all this I would like to make a few comments on Osho's second article from February 6, 2007.
FORGIVING THE LOST SOUL FRAGMENTS
In Osho's first article he talked about demons. In the response to that article I made a paragraph on these demons, in which I wonder how to do something about his 'mess' consisting of many lost souls who are trapped in repetitive patterns, feeding off people in the physical who think like thoughts. As you may remember I was quite surprised to read that many of these 'demons' would have been removed from this creation. I still wonder what kind of mechanism would be behind this clearing.
Osho seems to suggest the concept of forgiveness which would allow the 'de-manned' soul fragments to transcend the limitations of their singular repetitive pattern and move on to another dimension. This might be a good way to clear our astral planes, even though I wonder how you can contact those who are severely trapped in their own rigid reality (see Is Forgiveness Enough? and Love this Loop!).
ASCENDING TO HIGHER PLANES
I also wonder what to think about 'ascending to higher planes'. I prefer to use the word ascension to refer to the biological 'upgrading' process leading to some kind of 'soul fusion'. It is hard for me to visualize any ascension from an astral being: there isn't much biology to alter I would think. On the other hand it might just be a description of the phenomenon described by Robert Monroe relating to the escape of people from certain monroe bands as soon as they stopped accepting certain thought-forms as real. When they no longer agreed to accept the reality they were in, they would simply vanish from that reality to shift into another reality which would then fit their new reality perspective better. Perhaps that is the case in these 'de-manned shifts to higher planes'.
Ever since the emergence of the idea that different dimensions all contain parts of yourself only in different conditions (see Structure of Creation and Multidimensional Awe) I wonder how these beneficial demonic shifts fit into this concept. Perhaps when a certain level of forgiveness is truly understood it changes something in all dimensions simultaneously. As Larry put it:
Demons or their equivalent in a physical body act like asses on all the dimensions that they exist on. Hence the idea that what ever is happening in the astral planes is undercontrol cause there is a program of removal from creation of all those that can not exist in the universe with the more positive energy. These individuals will self select to die and be taken out of creation.If these 'demons' leave the astral planes through either a form of reality-shifting through forgiveness (by no longer accepting the parameters of their repetitive loop) or because they cannot deal with the increasing vibrations of an ascending planet it would imply that the degree of harmfulness would be on the decrease in the astral planes.
Many questions remain: if they would indeed choose to die where will they go to (or am I thinking too narrowly here)? and is there indeed a link between the possible frequency rise due to an ascending Earth and a rise in frequency in the astral realms?
DEMON PLANES CLOSED: WHAT ABOUT THE REST?
Osho describes how through forgiveness many stuck souls were able to see through their limited reality perspective. He even says that these kind of planes housing many lost ones were closed. I assume that they were closed after everyone was released from them.
If we for the time being assume that indeed these 'demon' planes are closed, what can be said about all those deceased ones who are caught in less harmful bands or planes? If you look at the concept of the monroe bands in which people are 'stuck', living in the same reality for ages. What is their condition, and what about the big theocrats, did they 'ascend' out of the astral planes as well, all of a sudden?
If you regard these 'demons' as lost soul fragments, it would make sense to think that they are somehow reunited with other soul fragments in order to become more whole. Is there perhaps not a connection between the reunification of these soul fragments and any changes in ancestral groups or soul groups that are connected to people on the physical Earth? Would this not lead to a clearer guidance from these groups to us?
EQUALITY IN HEAVEN?
When you read Osho's second letter you would almost be inclined to think that indeed not only the demonic planes have been cleaned but all heavenly planes would have been transformed into a harmonic state of equality in which everybody 'up there' would invest in copying their state of equality (and I suppose harmlessness) onto our world. It would be great but it all goes a bit too fast for me. A complete removal of the monroe bands? Are there no other forces resisting this cleaning? I would like to hear the reports of those beings in the astral planes who talk about this 'cleaning of heaven'. I look forward to more inspiring material.
Gibbon,
