Dear friends,
2 days ago I was enjoying sunshine nearby swimming
pool i Södertälje,
watching traffic of boats and ships and listening
Osho.
(it was discourse from Beyond Psychology, 15th April
1986..)
Somebody asked :
Beloved Bhagwan,
Can you tell us what happened to you since we last
met that beautiful morning in Crete,some weeks ago?
his answer was ..A lot -and nothing..A lot on the
periphery,and nothing to my being-nothing to me.
..and I heard story which maybe some of you know or maybe even somebody
have been there in this adventure..(if somebody wants I can send you whole
text or audio file)
...and he said to huge crowd of press who wanted an interview with him on
Athens airport..
"there is not much to say, other then it
seems man is not going to be civilized,ever."..

.........
This story reminded me on my holiday on Crete just 3
months ago.
It was end of April 2005.
We have in Sweden some travel agencies who sell
"last minutes ticket" in before and after high season.
It can be very cheap.
Idea came from my friend Tommy who is most of his
life in such a psychic condition mostly asocial..living alone in his world
...and I am the only friend and support from the 'outer world'..
(we met in Hare Krishna 20 years ago..He was normal
then..).
He red in news paper about "last minutes travel" -
to Crete .
150 Euro for flight and accommodation for 1 week per
person.We have to be 2 or more persons for get this price..
After long cold dark winter in Sweden light comes
qiuck in spring but not warmth and everybody is longing for sunshine..
This charter flight reminded me on school-days
when one or more classes were going on excursion at the end of school
year..
On each seat in flight was thick newspaper Dagens
Nyheter (Daily News) ..

Everything was very nice organized and we landed to
this beautiful Island Crete -city Retimnon. It was nice sunny weather and
we could see long sandy beaches..without much people..
We got apartment in nice hotel -"Summer dreams" very
near beach..just 80 meter distance.
This was good for Tommy,that we could have each his
own room and peace as he likes..
(we had even washing machine in apartment..)
We visited Knossos, ruins of old Minoan
civilization, in one sense the first "Greek"
civilization..but they were not Greeks.
They came from Asia Minor
around 2600 BC.
Tourist guide was telling mythological stories and
they said how this is source of our European civilization (Greek
culture)..
and now I am listening Osho's words and what
has happened to him on this place after 4000 years Minoan culture..(the
Minoans were apparently not a military power...)
.."it seems man is not going to be civilized,ever."

I was not interested in museums and ruins but I
wanted to engage my friend in some social happenings and he participated..
He behaved normally (but not much talk) on
sunshine, light, other nice surroundings..
this was the best natural therapy..
One day we were walking 8 km beautiful long ravine
to the Libyan Sea,south part of Island Crete.
One place was most fascinating for me- water rushing
from a well Spili with such a power...
(here is nice to live, I was thinking..and drink
clean fresh natural water
)
All pictures from this holiday on Island Crete you
may see in my Yahoo photo album. (some of them are from postcards ..)
I will send invitation to you on a group.
If this doesn't work, then I can upload pictures to
the file section.
please some response if you could open link to photo
album..

album and choose with your artistic skillfulness this what you like.
