If you have ever read or heard of Osho, what do you think of his ideas? Are they close to you?
As for myself, I was always in search for what to believe in, as all the religions didn't seem enough truthful to me, especially where the church/sinagoga/buddhist monastery or any other intermediary between you and god is involved, instead the ideas of Osho I found really close to my worldview...and how about you?

Osho points to a journey rather than something to learn with our mind.. he points to a path that we must walk and experience.. making it real

religion seems dead.. Osho teaches us to learn ourselves to find true life.

Osho is of Zen, or mystic rebel , which is atheist who does not believe in any God , and is spiritually lead by naturalism , and does not believe in any religion ...... the devil and demons have authority in the natural flesh spirit realm which naturalism comes, so Osho is of a familiar demon authority or wizardry

Religion is dead! Religion teaches you to find our Source outside of yourself where it can NEVER be found...for it is WITHIN us.

I've read his work. He has some good points. One essay I read that resonated with me was where he said that until you have experienced something you do not know it. To read, to think, to imagine, etc., is not the same as knowing, and the only way you can KNOW is by the experience of it. I liked that.

I liked Osho but at times I found he spent too much time expressing things that were so simple it only need be experienced. I think I'd opt for Paulo Coelho any day.
