New Month. 'New Way, new life'. ADF
Some more Osho below
The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.
Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls - and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.
There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.
The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed.

Not easy book to find I'm sure.
Life gets weirder. I don't consider myself celibate but I haven't had sex for a long time nor do I plan to. It feels good. I realise how sex was an acceptance thing. But I've done that and want more depth. Not so strange but there's a Sri Chinmoy woman at a Sri Chinmoy caf'e I adore. The caf'e and the woman. A friend tells me they're celibate. This hasn't turned me off. I don't have any idea but it feels like a better choice than the attention seeking zombies this world is full of.
That may have offended you. You'll live. You're welcome to offend me back. That would be funny.

I personally can't imagine the celibacy thing.. i think i see it as being a bit too christian for my liking.. but i do admire people that can do it. it would be very interesting!!
