Quite a ride.
Rajneesh is one of the GOATs in the business, and his (and his cult followers) story nothing short of fascinating.
What I've learned from what I've encountered in the field, is that everything in spirituality as we know it is tangential to cult-like behavior, and the best way to study its nooks and crannies is from the best.
This is one of the best.
No doubt, any set of ideas can be attached to and turned into dogmatic belief....that's what happens when pointers get taken for something more, when they are conceptualized. Any spiritual focus that is not aimed at seeing those pitfalls of mind has that potential...and..really, even a focus that is aimed in that direction initially can get side-tracked and hi-jacked.
