High friends, krishna prem here...I just updated my website...check it
out to see pictures of me and osho... www.geeyouareyou.com
<http://www.geeyouareyou.com/> ... It's a fun site...if you enjoy it,
please feel free to send this email on to our friends, old and new alike.
I am ready to get out of Poona for Amsterdam and the beyond... to put it
simply, before I'm out of here, I already miss the Osho Meditation
Resort big time...it was such a juicy high season that has stretched
from mid-November all the way till April...it was so busy here that the
only place you could relax and have a little space all to yourself was
in the Osho Auditorium...so I heard.
But don't take my word on it...come yourself when you can...the pool is
now open daily and will be heated for next winter as is the Osho
Auditorium air-conditioned during the hot season and if you can't decide
whether to go "in" or go "out", you can tofu with me in our new Zorba
the Buddha restaurant until it doesn't really matter.
Our friend Sam has a cute t-shirt on today..it reads "meditation...you
have the right to remain silent"....so I heard.
*Life in itself is an empty canvas, it becomes whatsoever you paint on
it. You can paint misery, you can paint bliss. This freedom is your
glory. Osho*
Here is an article I recently wrote for the osho viha magazine,

*When I grow up, I want to be a kid.*
By Krishna Prem (Michael Mogul)
My body just turned sixty years old.
Thank heavens I am not my body. Or am I?
In any event, when my body was just shy of thirty I met Osho and I
immediately began growing up instead of growing old.
A nice trick, picked up from a master magician.
At that time my brother Brian met his guru, Dr. Milton Erickson, of
hypnosis fame. As brothers, we were always competitive, so why not have
a friendly banter on whose guru knows more?
Certainly Osho won, in my humble opinion, hands down.
But one thing Milton Erickson said to my brother always stayed with me.
Milton Erickson said to my bro, ''There are only three kinds of people
on this earth: little sized kids, middle sized kids and big sized kids.''
For thirty years now, I have looked upon modern man trying to prove my
brother's guru wrong, and shit if that guy didn't have something to say.
But after exhausting myself trying to grow up, I stumbled on an original
answer.
Me.
Me-plus-nothing.
Me... period.
Not a 'somebody' that grows up or down, although I guess you might call
me a 'nobody.'
In a humorous, funny sort of way, I have given this new 'me,' or better
yet, this new 'not me,' the nickname Turiya.
As Osho has explained many times in his discourses, the word 'Turiya'
refers to the fourth state of consciousness.
The first three we all know: waking sleeping and dreaming. Turiya simply
means 'the fourth,' a humble kind of name, but with big implications,
because it refers to the cosmic consciousness inside us all.
So I am now happy to announce that I have discovered a fourth kind of
kid that I have nicknamed "my Turiya-sized kid."
Yes I am still a kid, but a Turiya-sized kid. A kid who somehow 'grew
in,' not a kid who grew up or old.
It's nice to be me now.
I am no longer growing.
I am no longer maturing.
It's simply OK.
As my friend Rahasya once said to me before she left my adopted home
town of Amsterdam for Mill Valley, ''I don't know and I don't need to
know.''
When Rahasya said this to me, almost matter-of-factly, over a beer at
sunset in the Vondel Park, the penny dropped for me.
I actually don't know what she meant, but what I heard, in my inner gut,
was, "Krishna Prem, when are you going to stop giving up the
here-and-now, while you wait for a rosy future?"
And if you don't understand my gibberish, well, the old KP might have
been sad about that, seeing how grown-up language just can't convey what
he really means.
But, as my Turiya-sized kid, I only need to throw you a bucket and spade
and say, "Hey, there's plenty of room in the sand box."
That's how I feel. I am just a kid playing in the unknowable sand box.
I wear many hats of a big-sized kid.
I pay the rent.
I drive a car.
I act mature.
But as soon as I can, I take my hats off and relax.
In a sense, my ego is a hat -- a hat that is really useful and practical
these days as a bucket to fill with sand to make castles with.
What size kid are you? One that's busy growing, busy postponing, waiting
for the golden future, or the one that knows how to play?
Love, Krishna "The Turiya Sized Kid" Prem
And remember, it's never too late to have a happy childhood. Or as
George Bernard Shaw put it, "We don't stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing."
Ps...By the way, there is a rumor going on about me...in the form of a
joke...its vicious, but as it has a certain ring of truth in it, feel
free to also pass it along...
Krishna Prem enters his favorite ritzy restaurant in Amsterdam, and
while sitting at his regular table, KP notices a gorgeous woman sitting
at a table nearby all alone.
He calls the waiter over and asks for their most expensive bottle of
Merlot to be sent over to her, knowing that if she accepts it, she is
his for the night.
The waiter gets the bottle and quickly sends it over to the girl, saying
it is from the gentleman at a nearby table. She looks at KP, then at the
wine and decides to send a note over to him.
The note read: "For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a
Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank, and 7 inches in
your pants."
KP, after reading this note, sends another note to her.
It read: "Just so you will know, I happen to have a Ferrari Testarosa, a
BMW 850iL, and a Mercedes 560SEL in my garage, plus I have over
twenty-million dollars in the bank.
But, not even for a woman beautiful as you, would I cut three inches off
my dick. Just send the wine back."
