Re: The Freedom
 

I posted few months ago at the The End of The World Near thread. I don`t know how, but it come to my mind that all of this is about The Freedom. About finding The Freedom inside us. At least music, dancing and laughting are expressions of our personal freedom, Excuse me to repost it here, but it is important for me.

Love&Respect

The great Master Osho (Bhagvan Shri Rajneesh) was once asked by his student:
“Bhagvan, how do you see the man of the future?”
“I am seeing him as a mix of Buddha and Zorbas the Greek”!
Than, the student asked the Master again:
“We understand about Buddha, Bhagvan, but why Zorbas, he seems to be a kind of sinner?”
“Because Zorbas win the life laughing and dancing.”

This was his answer. I was very astonished reading it (I knew Osho was practicing dancing with his students during the lectures). I knew about Buddha and his sublime message. Also, in my very youth I saw the movie and read the book “Zorbas the Greek”, and I did not understand what about the whole thing was about. But now, Osho said: Buddha and Zorbas! Than I decided to read the book and to see the movie again, but with much different eye than in my youth. I did it. And I was crying and laughing in the same time.

The Universe is a joke – nobody did understood it until now, says one of the biggest taoistic teachers. Zorbas understood this; he knew that nobody can win the life, the 3D, in other way than laughing and dancing on it, with his bouzouki. In the great catastrophes of his life – he was laughing and laughing. Wildish in first sight, his soul was very gentle and noble, able to touch the inner wisdom. In the movie, after the fall of his great project, he is dancing on the beach without music, almost crazy way.
Than, his beloved “boss” asked him:
“Teach me to dance.”
Zorbas jumped excited. He realized that his friend finally got the point, after the catastrophe of their project. The metaphysical emptiness of the “unsuccessful” life was wined. The pain – dominated. The borders of the 3rd dimension were passed. Zorbas knew this fail was a great success. So did his “boss”. Osho said: Zorbas is the foundation and Buddha is the upgrade. They, Zorbas and his Boss (simbolicaly Buddha or Jesus?) were beyond the reality built not by their will.
“Dance? Did you say DANCE? Come on, my boy! Together.”
And then, dancing:
“Boss, I have so much to tell you: I’ve never loved a man more than you!”
And than, in the trance of the dance, great, metaphysical, unknown and from nowhere laugh came:
“Hey, you can laugh, too, a?! You are laughing!”
Ha, ha, ha…!
Here are His Holiness Zorbas the Greek and His Boss dancing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeNsr_nQEfE

Friends - laugh. And dance. It is a Big Holy Joke around!
Btw. Zorbas was a real character. His grave is in my country, not in Greece. I went once at his grave. I lighted a candle. Than, from nowhere, I started to laugh loudly. With tears. “Opaaaaa!”

Re: The Freedom
 

And I loved when he said,

"Boss, life IS trouble,
only death is not!
To be alive is to undo your belt and LOOK for trouble!"


Still dancing,
Bushycat

Re: The Freedom
 

Bushycat, it so funny when Antoni Queen is saying THIS in the movie.
I recall it, and I am laughting :lmfao:

Thank you.

Re: The Freedom
 

Oh thank you Tango! I really needed a good laugh.

Re: The Freedom
 

Oliver,
I agree with you regarding laughter. We will not have freedom without laughter.
I realized that many people invest their energy into their belief system. They make their beliefs so personal and fight to death to defend it. If they just could laugh and let others to have freedom to express whatever they have in their mind we would be laughing all together. But BTB knows that when we are divided they can control us.
:roll1:

Best regards

You made me laught. I am new to this forum, but I visited this forum since it has started. I liked to get new ideas or some good links. Howerver, I did not want to join because English is my second language. I wish I could express myself without being overly concerned about my grammar or spelling. But I decided to overcome my limitations and to join. BTW can you explain me how can I use a frame rather than [QUOTE]?

Best regards,

Re: The Freedom
 

I wonder, is it only the ability to fly the reason that the famous say exists:
"Free like bird"...

Re: The Freedom
 

Also, one of the most universal symbols for Freedom are white horses, especialy in arts.
Must be because of Beauty. The ability to accept, reach and produce Beauty is one of the most sublime forms of Freedom.
And, why white horses, why no other colors, they are also beautiful?
Since the symbolism of the white color can be very controversial, my opinion is that it is because white contains all the colors in the Spectrum...

Re: The Freedom
 

Third point: Freedom is Peace.
The most universal symbol for Peace is White Dove with the olive branch.
So, again we have a Bird and White. Consequently, Peace contains flying and beauty.
Also, in Christianity, the Holy Ghost is presented as white dove. Means Holy Ghost brings peace?
The olive branch? What I know is that olive is very healing tree...and it`s aroma when blooming is just a divine one. Peace is the best cure for the wounds of this planet. Peace is first condition for Freedom. Of any kind.
Btw. few years ago i had two white doves on my balcony, a male and female. The sounds they were producing in love is just an unseen grace.
Peace be with you...

Re: The Freedom
 

Fourth point: Freedom is Love. By Osho. Nothing to add.

"In today's world, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with that freedom, and learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we are denying ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else.
Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other."
