OSHANA

Hi,

As you may know the Oshana satsangs have a matrix
theme. There have been a few developments ..a
movement away from temporary Awakenings and an
investigation towards permanent Enlightenment..yes,
we know 'nothing is fixed' except for The One ..One
one, one one...unchanging whatever-ness - or so we
have been told!

So, Oshana satsangs are full of energetic packages
and experiential surprises that might make the the
notional Advaita purist turn in his grave but not
the Source, or Ramana Maharshi - just a thought, an
eenny-weeny one

My research topic for today:

mysterious reports have been coming in about a
group in Australia whose daily spiritual practice
is to watch "The Matrix" movie

has anyone heard such a thing?

ttfn,

dave

MARK OTTER

By John:

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai Guru Deva

Ultimately there's neither seeing, soul, blindness,
duality nor nonduality, nor their opposites,
anywhere. These tales can be presented in a variety
of ways.

VALERIE

here's my dilemma - up here - the people - i found
myself with a couple of people I thought were
"friends" who were being quite lowbrow - you know -
you wouldn't expect it of spiritual aspirants or
people who were working on themselves as much. The
seven deadly sins like for instance - one so called
friend being covetous and jealous, another guy
being vengeful and wrathful, etc. it's odd how when
one is not within a similar "community" what one
will overlook. And I was quite shocked and hurt to
be treated this way. But - they each have their
strong points, their good points - each one could
survive in the woods a long time after some
civilized disaster - it's just that - should
friends have to be on guard against attacks from
the libidos from other people whom call themselves
friends? If people are not even on the spiritual
path yet, or maybe just pay it lip service, should
it pose a problem to friendship? It seems so
"hoity-toity"...

I know - once on the spritual path you find it
everywhere, even in bars and the most unlikely
places! But if people have recognized no "Higher
Power" in themselves or in their lives yet, can
situations such as I have described above and more
- such as thievery and worse - be expected to
happen? (well - duh, have i answered my own
question here?)
