Here's an excerpt from one of the new additions to my library; OSHO: Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other. I bought it yesterday at Kinokuniya and i can't seem to put it down. I find it really interesting and all together enriching to look at life from a whole new perspective. It sure beats running around in circles and spending money uncontrollably - which i don't really do anyway. Don't worry i'm not going to preach, neither am i going to insist that the teachings are my new way of life.
There were many other sections that i found just as interesting but then that would mean i'd be sitting here all night typing out the whole book and to be honest, i have better things to do then practice my typing skills.
This particular section pays attention to False values and the more i think about it, it actually makes sense, one just has to be open.;
Oh and before i forget, to my silent readers who are celebrating Chinese New Year this year, here's hoping it brings with it better times, love, luck, happiness and good fortune!
DID YOU KNOW: A Rat Year is a time of hard work, activity, and renewal. This is a good year to begin a new job, get married, launch a product or make a fresh start. Ventures begun now may not yield fast returns, but opportunities will come for people who are well prepared and resourceful. The best way for you to succeed is to be patient, let things develop slowly, and make the most of every opening you can find. [source]

Love is a dangerous experience because you are possessed by something that is bigger than you. And it is not controllable; you cannot produce it on order. Once it is gone, there is no way to bring it back. All that you can do is pretend, be a hypocrite.If you're wondering how does this passage have any relation to the eve of Chinese New Year? Well it doesn't. I just felt like sharing. What you make out of it is up to you. And if those words brought some sense then Well Done! Now you can go on your merry way! If not, well at least it got your brain ticking.
Loyalty is a totally different matter. It is manufactured by your own mind, it is not something beyond you. It is a training in a particular culture, just like any other training. You start acting, and by and by you start believing your own acting. Loyalty demands that you should always, in life or in death, be devoted to the person whether you heart is willing for it or not. It is a psychological way of enslavement.
Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery. On the surface they look alike; deep down, they are just the opposite diametrically opposite. Loyalty is acting; you have been educated for it. Love is wild; its whole beauty is in its wildness. It comes like a breeze with great fragrance, fills your heart, and suddenly where there was a desert there is a garden full of flowers. [p.93]
