Alton all words are whores- meaning what you want them to mean- there is nothing frigid in a word or a concept- so when Osho says it - the meaning is intended to the one he is speaking to- to try and bridge the gap of understanding-

I have been doing the mirror meditation for a long time- but in the hot summer months - and my schedule to get certain thing done- it is not easy to stay with it- however in the cool winter months- i always enjoy doing it with certain positive results- the witnessing comes more easy without effort and i am always committed to stay with it and allow the surrendering and break-through to happen-

and i have over the years since my taking of sannyas done many techniques including dynamic, kundalini,and many other mentioned in his Book Of Secret- but the only one that has produced any favorable results is the Mirror Meditation - that he discussed in The Secret of Secrets # 7 discourse.
 

And i have heard him say that no Technique works- maybe he could have meant not to depend on it - i feel that all in all if one stays with a particular method long enough it will eventually bring him to his inner diamond- and i have heard him say that also- so even though he is contradicting himself - he is still speaking only to the individual- or he is preventing us from attaching to anything-

so what ever works for you is for you and not me to judge- i just wanted to stir up a little storm- the storm can bring one to more alertness-

i was in two hurricanes in Florida in 1994 or 95 - Opal and Arian and the eye of Opal hit just a few blocks to where i was staying in a travel trailer park and man - did it ever put me in an alert aware state-and i had to go pick up my traffic counting machines(i was doing a traffic study) through - out the night with the wind blowing and rain coming down - this was a preview of the main force that hit the next day.

Lots of love -- da moongaf
