OSHO ON EQUALITY
For thousands of years what man has done to woman is simply monstrous. She cannot think of herself as equal to man. And she has been conditioned so deeply that if you say she is equal, she is not going to believe it. It has become almost her mind, the conditioning has become her mind, that she is less in everything…physical strength, intellectual qualities.
Man has crippled woman. It is politics. Woman constitutes half of humanity, and man has no right to completely cripple her, but for centuries he has been crippling her.
He has not allowed her education, he has not allowed her even to listen to the holy scripture. In many religions he has not allowed her to enter the temple; or, if he has allowed her, she has a separate section. She cannot stand with the man as equal even before God.
And the man who has reduced the woman to such a state also cannot love her. Love can only exist in equality, in friendship.

I created this logo through the combination of two powerful symbols: the Enso and the Taoist Trigram for Heaven. The enso represents existence [outer circle] and the void [space within the circle], when Heaven is placed inside, the logo symbolizes my key belief that HEAVEN LIES WITHIN.

RE-DO
Perhaps one of the most amazing things about life is that each day brings a new start. No matter how your previous day ended, the sun rises the next day to renew us. We get another chance. While it can be easy to get caught up in all of the things in life that didn’t – Read More –
GOING ON
“One foot in front of the next…the start of a journey…” “And to do what I want, and to do what I please is first on my to do list…” “And I’ll see you when you get there, but I’m going on…and I’m prepared to go it alone…I’m going on.” — I love this tune! – Read More –
THE HEART IS RIGHT TO CRY
The
Heart is right to cry
Even when the smallest drop of light,
Of love,
Is taken away.
Perhaps you may kick, moan, scream
In a dignified
Silence,
