Re: "My message is ...*edited*

As for humanity being different from what it was thousands of years ago, or even ten years ago, this I do disagree with. Human beings remain the same, just the level of technology changes, our environment changes, but on a spiritual level humans do not change.

I would argue that the level of technology certainly does have an impact on the degree of mental activity that the average member of today's humanity is engaged in. This together with the fact that a large percentage of the populations, especially the developed countries, do less manual labor which most assuredly has a relation to those individuals that are members of the higher tech societies. Being that mindbody is one mechanism (not two), stress levels accumulate with in that mechanism. And physical labor is a way for it to be dissipated/released. Without this release, mental and physcial diseases would have a tendency to be ever on the increase. This results in, or at least contributes to, a higher degree of neurological dis-eases/disorders to occur, such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), the inability to remain focused on a specific topic over time. It would be also relative to a hodge-podge of other mental disorders - depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, dimentia and alzheimer's, etc... just to mention a few. Hence, meditation in the past was more easily achieved, as the demand place on the human psyche to process ever increasing amounts of information has never been at such a level as it is today... another ten years, ha! - suicide per capita will be off the chart. 

This is why I say the traditional methods alone are not enough to break the mold of the obsessive compulsive habitualized behavior that have been acquired through social conditioning/education. The degree at which humanity today is experiencing such levels of mental illness is unprecented. This has a direct correlation to increased pace of living due to the level of increased technology.

This is why the spiritual Master, Osho, stands apart from the rest herd of so-called traditional type gurus. His methods have made extensive use of various psycho-therapies that have been used in conjunction with traditional methods of meditation. This would be difficult for most to comprehend and fully grasp, as most are not capable of looking outside their box. That is why the controversy over this guy. It rattles the cages of most peoples' comfort zones. Without becoming an active participant in such a Mystery School, one only is left to 'believe' that which they are comfortable with. If it is something alien relative to their own narrow view of what meditation is "supposed" to be about, then it will be complained about, it will be laughed about - just so those that critique it can go back to their cages and feel good about themselves, now that the threat to their own dysfunctional life styles has been discredited.  

As for the endearing "butthead" comment, it was merely an anology used to compare your commaderie with duos of the past. For instance, people like "Laurel & Hardy", "Mutt & Jeff", "Amos & Andy", "Tom & Jerry", Mickey Mouse & Donald Duc, Rocky and Bullwinkle... and, in this case, it recollection of the famous "Beavis and Butthead" duo. I know you would probably prefer something more flattering. But, I would hardly call it name-calling.
