Tightrope: My Story with Osho Before He Was Osho: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:44, 11 September 2022

This book is a sequel to Lord of the Full Moon, published in India in 1981 and discontinued by the current Osho administration. Parts of this text also coincide with a later two-volume manuscript commissioned by the Master but destroyed during the troubling years of US government inquiry into the Ranch Regime in Oregon. Both contained sensitive information about the community.

Over a backdrop of dramatic multicultural influences in an atmosphere of tenaciously naïve hope as well as uncertainty, suspicion and disappointment, these pages focus is on the multileveled perception of a spiritual teacher, revealing firsthand the dynamics that led to the founding of a still thriving therapy center and community. They cover ten years in the life of the author revolving around the relationship of master-disciple, the questionable nature of surrender, the manipulative shadows of credibility, and above all personal responsibility.

Today more than ever, there remains a need to embrace and therefore understand both light and shadow in order to rise to a non-judgmental yet critical appraisal of spirituality and human development.

Every moment of life demands a tightrope act where imbalance can spell extinction.
