Als de geliefde bisschop van Barchester sterft, verwacht iedereen dat zijn zoon hem zal opvolgen, maar de keus valt op een ruggengraatloze bisschop wiens dominante vrouw samen met de nieuwe kapelaan de touwtjes in handen neemt.

Brieven van de Indiase levensleraar Osho (1931-1990) aan een geliefde discipel.

OSHO clears up misconceptions about what meditation is - playful, and what it is not - serious. He answers fundamental questions about meditation and gives a detailed description of each stage of his most revolutionary meditation technique, the Osho Dynamic Meditation.

In today's world, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with that freedom, and learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we are denying ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else.

Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other. Is it possible to be alone and not lonely? Where are the boundaries that define "lust" versus "love"...and can lust ever grow into love? In Love, Freedom, Aloneness you will find unique, radical, and intelligent perspectives on these and other essential questions. In our post-ideological world, where old moralities are out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. We have the chance to start afresh with ourselves, our relationships to others, and to find fulfillment and success for the individual and for society as a whole.

Extemporaneous talks given by the author to disciples and friends in Bombay.

Totdat iemand zich helemaal losgemaakt heeft van het idee: "ik ben", is er nog iets gebeurd. Je bent alleen van kleur veranderd. Je bent een kameleon, je bent gewoon van kleur veranderd. Maar alleen de kleur is veranderd, jij niet.' – Osho

'Het gaat dus over wat er is in die "gaps",
het gaat over het bubbelgevoel,
het gaat over overgave,
het gaat over het intense gevoel van genieten,
het gaat over dat wat werkelijk is

En dat wat je werkelijk bent.

The mind, says Osho, has the potential to be enormously creative in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and the problems of the world in which we live. The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives. Its ambitions, belief systems, and interpretations rule our days and our nights—bringing us into conflict with minds that are different from ours, keeping us awake at night rehashing those conflicts or planning the conflicts of tomorrow, and disturbing our sleep and our dreams.

If only there was a way to switch it off and give it a rest! Finding the switch that can silence the mind—not by force or performing some exotic ritual, but through understanding, watchfulness, and a healthy sense of humor—is meditation. A sharper, more relaxed and creative mind—one that can function at the peak of its unique intelligence—is the potential.

De Indiase goeroe beschouwt de dood als overgangsfase, een passage om te vieren, hetgeen kan wanneer men het leven bewust leeft.

In Joy, Osho posits that to be joyful is the basic nature of life. Joy is the spiritual dimension of happiness, in which one begins to understand one's intrinsic value and place in the universe. Accepting joy is a decision to "go with the flow," to be grateful to be alive and for all the challenges and opportunities in life, rather than setting conditions or demands for happiness.

The Insight for a New Way of Living series aims to shine light on beliefs and attitudes that prevent individuals from being their true selves. The text is an artful mix of compassion and humor, and readers are encouraged to confront what they would most like to avoid, which in turns provides the key to true insight and power.

Joy is a wondrous investigation into the source and importance of joyfulness in our lives.

In this comprehensive and practical guide, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience for the first time. Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience. As Osho shows in these pages, it is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra-the very word means "technique"-is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily lives.

August 1986 - after a world tour in which twenty-two countries had either deported him or denied him entry, Osho Rajneesh returned to India, and began giving nightly talks in the living room of a Bombay disciple's home. People gathered from all over the world to be with him, even though they might have to wait for days to take their turn in the small space available for the discourses. Nobody knew what the future would bring, but for now, it was a joyous reunion.  The excerpts in this book were taken from that period of Osho's work, before he eventually settled at Rajneeshdham in nearby Poona. It is a rare glimpse into the world of those who have undertaken the inner search, in the company of the most talked-about and extraordinary enlightened mystic all the time.

An indispensable work for understanding the life and teachings of one of the most unusual mystics and philosophers of our time.Ten years have past since, in the words of his attending physician, Osho prepared for his departure from the body that had served him for fifty-nine years "as calmly as though he were packing for a weekend in the country." This volume is recognition that the time has come to provide a historical and biographical context for understanding Osho and his work. Who was this man, known as the Sex Guru, the "self-appointed bhagwan" (Rajneesh), the Rolls-Royce Guru, the Rich Man's Guru, and simply the Master?Drawn from nearly five thousand hours of Osho's recorded talks, this is the story of his youth and education, his life as a professor of philosophy and years of travel teaching the importance of meditation, and the true legacy he sought to leave behind: a religionless religion centered on individual awareness and responsibility and the teaching of "Zorba the Buddha," a celebration of the whole human being.

Visie van de Frans-joodse auteur op belangrijke onderwerpen uit de joodse geschiedenis en traditie. Wat is het verschil tussen een israëliet, een jood en een Israëliër? Een Israëliër is iemand met de Isaëlische nationaliteit. Dat spreekt vanzelf. Maar een israëliet? Is dat Iemand die de joodse godsdienst praktiseert? Wat is dan een jood? En dan ook nog een jood zonder godsdienst? Mij is vaak gevraagd waarom ik me jood voel, hoewel ik geen godsdienst heb. en wat het voor mij betekent een jood te zijn. In al mijn boeken heb ik niet over het judaïsme geschreven, maar joodse verhalen verteld. Nu wil ik het hebben over een ongewone cultuur en ongewone mensen van wie ik hou en die vanaf mijn kinderjaren richting hebben gegeven aan mijn leven: Abraham, Mozes, Ezra... Zij maakten deel uit van een mensheid die ten prooi was aan het kwaad en het middel vond zich tegen dat kwaad te beschermen dankzij het eerste monotheïsme en het boek dat het meest werd gelezen: de bijbel. Dat wil ik graag laten zien: de weg van een volk dat de eeuwen heeft overleefd. Want ik behoor tot degenen die nog hopen dat de kennis van het leven van de 'anderen' altijd leidt tot de vrede van morgen.

Een joodse jongen zoekt naar zijn identiteit.

Bundeling van verspreid proza van de Nederlandse dichter (1924-1994).

William Butler Yeats was not only one of the most beloved and honored poets of this century. Playwright, essayist, theatrical impresario, occultist, politician, famously hapless lover--he was also one of the most colorful and complex. Astonishingly, no full biography of Yeats has appeared in many years. Now, Keith Alldritt gives us a lively telling of Yeats's story that puts the poet in the context of his times, from the high Victorian era to the modernism of the thirties.
Alldritt reveals that Yeats was not just "the sensitive introvert who began as the mooning dreamer and after a lifetime seeking philosophical and hermetic wisdom, ended as the learned sage" that Yeats himself and his biographers would have us believe. He shows us a less familiar man: "a dedicated careerist, an ambitious man of determined self-interest, a seeker after social standing, and a combative man with a violent temper that sustained him in many nasty quarrels." Confrontational, scrappy, driven, he was deeply involved in both the political and literary issues of his day. He was instrumental in overturning the English domination of Irish literature and in researching and publishing books on Irish lore and fairy tales. He was the founder, with George Bernard Shaw, of the Irish Institute of Arts and Letters as well as the Abbey Theatre, where he refused to close down Synge's inflammatory play The Playboy of the Western World, despite riots in the street. During his tenure as senator in the Irish Parliament, he fought the Catholic divorce laws. At every level, Alldritt shows us a poet engaged in the world.
Yeats's long, passionate, and physically unrequited love affair with the beautiful Irish nationalist Maud Gonne, which led to some of his most poignant poetry, is brought vividly to life. Also covered in some detail are Yeats's numerous love affairs in the years before his death. Though condoned by his wife, they have not been explored in previous biographies out of respect for her feelings.
Another aspect of Yeats not generally appreciated is his involvement with literary movements outside Ireland and England. He wrote reviews for the Boston Globe; lectured regularly throughout the United States; and spent much time in France, where he was influenced by the symbolist poets, and in Italy, where he joined the Rapallo group led by the quixotic Ezra Pound.
In his years of research, Alldritt visited libraries worldwide. He was given special access to Yeats's private papers in the National Library of Ireland and interviewed many people who knew or are knowledgeable about Yeats, most notably Yeats's daughter, Anne.
Yeats has been called "the greatest poetic imagination of our century." Now Keith Alldritt reveals another facet of his extraordinary persona.
William Butler Yeats was a master craftsman, and one of his most skillful constructs was his own image. He wished to be remembered, above all, as an Irishman and a poet; as a man whose nature had been determined by the almost magical qualities of his childhood in Sligo and whose character had been shaped by the influence of admirable men. There is truth in this depiction of himself, but it is a partial truth only.
In this account, I attempt to go beyond his interior world and to evoke and do justice to those individuals and external forces which in their turn made up part of the dialectic of Yeats's life. Yeats lived at a time of profound changes for the Western world from the high Victorianism of the late 1800s to the advent of modernism in the 1930s. I have attempted to offer a strong sense of Yeats in his social and historical context--to show that an important side of his genius was his deep and often manipulative relationship with the turbulent life around him as with his turbulent life within.
