am om pm xm

Abbreviations for an approximate time of day:

  • am = ante meridiem: before noon
  • pm = post meridiem: after noon

The discourses of Osho often happened in the morning, starting about 8am (here called am), and in the early evening, starting at 7pm or 8pm (pm).

For the events at other times, the makers of the CD-ROM invented two more approximate times:

  • om = some time later in the morning or in the afternoon
  • xm = later at night

These codes are in use in the datetime code.

See also: archive code.

archive code

A code, used in the CD-ROM to give the date and approximate time of Osho's discourses, and thereby also uniquely identify that discourse.

e.g. I Am the Gate, lecture 1 is 7104140, i.e. 1971 April 14 morning,
The Zen Manifesto: Freedom from Oneself, lecture 11 is 8904105, i.e. 1989 April 10 evening
The last digit represents the time of day, where morning = 0 ("am") and evening = 5 ("pm").
More rarely used are these last digits:
3 : later in the morning or afternoon ("om")
7 : later at night (also designated by ("xm")

Although the Archive Code was intended to be used as a key value to identify all discourses, this does not work where date and time of events are unknown. That was already apparent on the CD-ROM, and is even more problematic when one tries to identify the Hindi discourses. (For purposes of unique identification, the ShortTitle is better suited.

datetime code

A code to represent the date and time of events (like discourses, interviews, satsangs etc.), in so far as known.

Like the archive code, it consist of a date (YY.MM.DD) followed by a time designation. Where data is unknown, it is left as a "-" hyphen.

69.11.02.am 1969, Nov 2, morning
69.11.02.am.(1) same, first event at that time
69.11.02.am.(2) same, second event at that time
69.11.02.(1) 1969, Nov 2, time of day unknown, first event of that day
69.11.02.pm.19:00 1969, Nov 2, at 19:00 (7 pm)
69.11.-- Some time in Nov, 1969 (There can be more of these, of no known order)
69.--.-- Some time in 1969
69.--.--.am Some time in 1969, in the morning.
69.--.--.(004) Some time in 1969, order known: this is the fourth event
