The point of my theory is that spirituality appears to effect the same percentage of people as schizophrenia thereby implying that it might just be a genetic biological variation of the physical brain. I dont expect the incidence of SZ to increase even if there is an unlikely increase in spirituality which my theory argues against.

However from an enlightened point of view everyone not enlightened is quite insane, living as this imaginary ego self.

I am not saying one percent of the population is enlightened or perhaps I am saying that. One can argue that the lower level of spirituality or Radical Understanding of ADi Da is in fact the first stage of enlightenment.

Now I have heard of this critical mass theory before from the Maharishi but I dont see it happening. Nor I am believer in it. Morphogenetic field theory is another one that is unproven. All of this is more of the Kumbaya hopeful stuff.

And I dont believe 99 percent of these new so called enlightened beings are such. Can you show me some descriiptions of people interacting with them that would lead one to such a conclusion. Their self professed enlightened sounds more like a commercial to me.

As you can see below form Sarlos Guru Rating Service (mostly a joke in my opinion) he says Rajneesh laughed at his disciples who claimed to be enlightened while alive.

More on Osho's Legacy
His self-declared enlightened heirs

Another significant aspect of Osho's legacy is the fairly large group, over 50, of his disciples who have announced their arrival in the state of ultimate fulfillment, and readiness to help others. This page, by no means exhaustive, looks at them in terms of how "faithful" are they to what Osho himself indicated in terms of methods, forms, flavour, etc. Are they "selling out" to traditional brain fog, stuck in old models or new fads, or are they life-affirmative? How to balance a sense of individual living freshness with respect for their master and his innovations? Etc etc.

See also More on Osho for a modest historical summary of his org since his mahaparinirvana, and Books for a survey of his enormous output of books, in English and Hindi.

So here they are:

Michael Barnett (M) aka Swami Anand Somendra
Jeru Kabbal (O) aka Swami Anand Santosh
Paul Lowe (M) aka Swami Ananda Teertha
Allen Lowen (O) aka Swami Anand Rajen

These guys were the pioneers, the first to declare.

But they made the mistake of doing it while Osho was still around to laugh at them.


High marks for courage, but they have not otherwise distinguished themselves. Rajen has had the grace to a) admit he was on an ego trip and b) retire. Because they made their moves when they did, they found it necessary to disavow Osho to a varying extent, and though Somendra, bizarrely, adopted such outwardly imitative forms as White Robe and white chair on podium for a while, he is now said to be more ordinary.
