notes
As part of the introduction, there is a kind of timeline: see the page-scans XVIII - XXV below. The "periods" of this are also used in the book's chapters. (Editor: The timeline is not perfect in all details though, compare Osho Events and it's timelines.)
Page 524 has this text only:
"This book is the first of a number of projected volumes. The second volume which immediately follows this in the series is The Lotus Land of Paradise, which covers the Master's work from 22nd March 1978 to 21st March 1980."
Editor: so this did not happen, the follow-up book was called slightly different: This Very Place the Lotus Paradise and covers the period of 1978 to 1984.
