Richard and I are into day thirty-three of this special quarantine…a very auspicious number.  Thirty-three in my Pantheon of the Esoteric represents the Master of Masters Number…high energy…take note, Anado!  So I invoke the Medicine Buddha…may we find invention and creativity within the healing…For I know one thing…awakening in the morning is becoming more gratitudinal and less of a “taking for granted slide onto the floor and get on with the day” sort of instinct…This whole ” virus event” has reminded me of this vessel that I inhabit…morning walks, stretching, following the breath…remembering the Buddha within…I bow down to Nature for this wake up call…this chance to live life more fully and with reverence…

Only in Dying…Life

A dear woman that we know in the US is actively going through the process of Death as I type this. She took this photo of Richard and I four years ago. It was part of a project that she initiated entitled “Letting Go”…I must admit that letting go is the most difficult of intentions that I face in this life…I guess…(in my small vessel of knowledge)…that Death is the Ultimate Teacher…it is the Door we must all pass through when we let go of our challenging minds and bodies…Will I finally learn something at that Passageway?…….I am reminded over and over of Metta…it is scrawled near the entrance of my own personal Doorway that I will tread through one day:  May All Beings be Free of Suffering…May All Beings be at Peace…May All Beings know Their True Nature…

The woman’s name is Octavia…bless her…this too shall pass…

Giddy-up-go

March 19, 2018 by anado 2 Comments

There has been a lot of back and forth commentary on my FaceBook account concerning the documentary “Wild Wild Country”.  The documentary chronicles the occurrences in the 1980’s in Oregon between the local people and the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.  I was one of those followers.  I feel that I must set the record straight for myself about my relationship with Bhagwan…I have included a photo of myself with him and some others from India in 1980.  Words will never be able to describe what I was feeling when he touched me as this photo chronicles…I just know that I was touched like never before and that particular moment is one of the reasons that I stayed close to his side for 11 years before he died…Many people who are aware of the history of Bhagwan in America accuse his secretary, Sheela, of causing the demise of the community and the instigator of the crimes that were committed by the community…..yes,  she was very caustic and quite the criminal…however, I tend to disagree that she was the final source of the commune’s demise…Osho/Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh was aware of everything that went down at Rajneeshpuram…a friend in RLS (Rajneesh Legal Services) was asked (before Sheela left) to research the easiest place in the world to be deported back to the US from and the hardest place in the world to be deported back to the US from…mind you…this before either Sheela or Bhagwan left…the easiest: Germany…(Sheela and her group fled to Germany)….the hardest: the Bahamas…(where was Bhagwan headed) Case closed….I have my own personal relationship with this man…even in his Death I am related…I refer to him as the Criminal Buddha…Darkness and Light…this is what he showed me…no holds barred…I feel that it is my duty to myself to post this blog entry…this is my Truth…this is my Experience…I had the ride of my life and quite frankly…the ride continues…Giddy-up-go

In the latter part of the 70's and into the late 80's I was immersed in a spectacular cultish woo woo experience that was both a magnificent and a quasi-disturbing experience…over the years I have attempted to cultivate the beneficial teachings of those moments and at the same time I have focused on distancing myself from the group/herd experience. I have no regrets…I probably would have expired at an early age on the Mean Streets where I was roaming and moaning before I met my teacher…I am forever grateful for the Darkness and Light that herald the unfolding of this thing called Life…Thankful…
