a spirit with a windy quality

Myself, the hippy chick getting a manicure from a good friend, who wanted to practice (wanted to fix me up a bit) & Bagavan Shree Rashneesh (Osho)

Spiritual, to me, simply means finding oneself. I never allowed anybody to do this work on my behalf--because nobody can do this work on your behalf; you have to do it for yourself.
Osho



I have read a bit by Osho, we have not just a few similar ideas and perhaps qualities, yet, that idea I really cannot be sure of. I guess most of our apparent or glaring differences, show on the surface so much as to make me unsure. Bagavan Rajneesh (I liked to call him Rashneeshi~Kan sometimes) who later changed his moniker to just Osho which was symbolic of the ocean was a man people watched. And he was a person gifted with (eventual) heavy financial gains and what seems to be millions of followers, a notable spiritual guru of his time

Meanwhile I, Tracey was on the surface a big nobody, just a woman, eventually raising three children with no status, or with a negative status, prosperity-wise! I don't know why exactly  feel he and I have had a lot of things in common. Me who, having no followers, one who never seemed to invite a lifestyle where money was involved, and seeking a life I could never quite touch upon,  and being considered highly ineffective by some, i assure you, I should not perhaps think we are similar souls, but I do. From things he has spoken and in the writings on his talks, I assure you that he and I do hold much common ground.

We think alike and I know that we came to many of the same conclusions on important aspects of living and not by anyone telling us what to think, we thought things out and arrived at similar positions. I know that his philosophies were and are sometimes considered very rash, and many of his conclusions about ways to live are massively different from those considered to be his peer group. Yet, I feel that the man was a stable, enigmatic free thinker, attractive for his state of happy or contented well being, and that he was at times pure genius. Whether he was a hundred years ahead of his time, or a only twenty or so years, will be left up to the advancement of society, I pray it will be closer to twenty. If you are recognizing that i have called myself similar to a man I pronounce is genius, that would be me, being ostentatious...and yes,  a bit more still, like the man himself our beloved...my yet unmet, always loved buddy, Bagavan Shree Osho.

His spirit can be said to have had a windy quality I believe, or windy with a chance of sun and rain. Which we all know produces that lovely phenomenon of a crystalline quality, spherical, colorful and transcendental as meditative bliss itself, endeared all over the planet for its beauty, the rainbow.

I could probably most appropriately be described as a spirit with a windy quality, myself, and no, I don't mean farting...though Bagavan would have a good laugh on that one, and we both have indulged in the relief of farting.
That description that having a windy quality about us, that movement implied, that spirit of rambunctiousness...that thing most impermeable which aligns the Tao of us, he and I, may be where the similarities begin and end.
And so, with what I have chanced to say, with what I know of the man already with whatever it is that connects our souls, I am pleased to have lived on this plane at the same time as him, he was interesting.

I may have been able to find a better way to describe two similar type folks, but it just wouldn't be the very best way to describe us in my mind,  so the title and idea, here, is to say I am strange, perhaps and yet, some ideas may verge on the precipice of genius, and I have known I am not the only madman to think this way...so there are others about who will embrace my ideas, hopefully you are one of them,

If you are the sort of person who could well be described as a windy type, with a chance of rain or sun soon to follow, maybe when you are done reading these pages, you'll take some time to explore some of Osho's stuff, it can be really magnificent and amazing. There are a million other ways to describe the man but this one for me, sounded a bit more apt.
