 MYRIAM DORNIER, dipl. Psych. IAP To whom it may concern I feel like expressing my experience with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his disciple. Working as a therapist in Zurich, Switzerland, I got in touch with him three years ago. A new dimension in my work was possible through his teachings. I would define it like the differrence between a therapist and 'a therapist'. It is not only my own individual experience. In all I could observe how his teachings are able to awake hidden capacities in people around him. The unique synthesis of science and humanity has already reached the scientific world. The realisation of his ideas in the City of Rajneeshpuram demonstrates that his teachings are not an Utopian scheme but a beautiful conception of. living which is able to solve numerous social problems in a frame of existing law, i.e. ecological problems, criminality etc. . Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is without doubt a Master with exeptional abilities as a spiritual leader and religious teacher. With deep gratitude for his work, [signed] |
