I agree with the main point
I agree with the main point of this article, which is to not choose ego, but I disagree with your stating advice of not choosing, and if we are to, we no matter what choose hell, I think that is a poor choice of words; i also think your analogy of one drowning, and choosing to drown is as well, not the best example. I do understand what you are trying to convey, and I appreciate your effort and stance, but your delivery is a little off. Existance is molded by maiking choices that we on a continual basis will always and forever find ourselves doing. It's not about not choosing, but rather making for you, what you perceive is the correct choice. I say perceive because everyone no matter who or what they are, has their own reality, truth and perspective that consists of and is dictated by that individual's chosen independant choices. In every single now moment we are making choices. Choice = Movement = Experience = Knowledge = Truth = Light = Love = God. Namaste. I AM.
About disagreement ....
As long as we`re Thinking We are the ones that make the Decisions , We are not in a Surrendered Egoless State. Btw, the guest who replies to Osho`s " article " in the foregoing comment , doesn`t seem to be Aware of the Fact that Osho is not in this Realm anymore & is talking back to a Master (Osho) whose whole Life has been dedicated to teaching what it is to : Be Egoless > Not Fighting> Surrendering to Divine Love > Peace > Flowing with the River > Bliss . But all is for the learning :) Namaste
Spiritual ego....
Yes, obviously this guest has no clue who Osho was and what he embodied... However, the gift they do share with us is what an ego will do with all these esoteric spiritual concepts, and again fight (hence; disagree, opposition, etc.) with an enlightened master. Classic!
There seems to be an abundance of Spiritual egoist agendas taking place as we approach the end of 2012... And this is no surprise... Funny how people are looking so frantically for the answers, when all they have to do is "stop" (Gangaji) or drop there search as Osho alludes to, and all will be revealed.
Oh, man.....
Now I need to google "OSHO". Will my ignorance never end?

There is no choice but God's,
There is no choice but God's, hence nothing we need to choose. Freedom from choice is Freedom indeed!
Evidence of all the various stages of awakening shared on these pages serve to demonstrate the ego's subtlety in its desparate need to dictate, decide, choose what should be and what is. There is no concept of choice in the higher realms where only God's will exists.
Well......
I do choose what to eat for breakfast, among the options available. Perhaps it is my ego that prefers cream of wheat to oatmeal? Actually, perhaps it IS. I don't choose the oatmeal because I am "very picky" about oatmeal....I don't like rolled oats, only stone-ground or steel-cut oats. Maybe it really IS my ego that likes the oatmeal chewy and not soft...but it likes the cream of wheat nice and smooth.... makes no sense...
Perhaps it is my ego that tells me that God loves us as we are. That somehow as we become one we still are ourselves.
I don't know the answers. I know that my ego is so subtle that it still can make me feel like a victim. What, no butterscotch for the ice cream?????!!!!!!!! Why can't they just buy more butterscotch???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And WHERE is the eggplant....we had some last night, why not tonight, don't they KNOW that I love eggplant???!!!!!!!!!!!
When I relax a little, I am very happy with the food. But I do still look at the menu.
I guess.... I just remember being taught that I HAD NO CHOICE. That God was this big boogieman who would send me to hell if I wasn't perfect.
I'm not perfect. There's no way around that, I in my daily life am not perfect. I got angry the other day because my neighbor had the TV so loud that I could not sleep.
And sometimes I still have nightmares.
But I don't believe in hell. There's really no logical reason for hell to exist.
So if I want to have raisin toast one morning and English muffins the next, well, I am making choices. Is that why I am not on the ships yet?

OK
Guest, we all have different ways of expressing ourselves.
But if existence is molded by making choices, the poor choices I made when "young" in this life would have destroyed me. Really, they nearly did.
To me, it is good to know that there is a "fail-safe".... that I am not lost no matter what craziness I participated in at some points in my life.
Perhaps "drowning" is not the right metaphor for you. Perhaps you would prefer "floating". If so, I recommend that you float.

Osho and his Ego
were very controversial to say the least. Anyone can discuss his views...he had no inarguable hold on the Truth.
When he wasn't lecturing about his 'truths' in a drugged state via wall portals of inhalable hallucinegens...he was escaping $4million in unpaid taxes from Indian gov't... to relocate in unsuspecting Oregon, lying about who they were to Oregon officials ... breaking every State-Real Estate law he-they encountered in Oregon...poisoning salad bars sickening nearly to death many local and county officials...preventing disciples from escaping the Oregon community...going on American Nightline TV w/ Ted Koppel w/ Sheela his chief assistant in unabated crime and disgracing themselves and their followers and community right and left...watch those old clips...he talks about sleeping w/ 1000's of women; Sheela meltsdown in a storm of curses and lies, condeming Oregon and America...and finally OSHO fled the police. for an Island e.g. Bermuda...being later incarcerated for federal immigration crimes etc. etc.
Osho and his Ego could be an 'article'.
Laundry list....
Boy that's quite a laundry list of judgements you have accumulated there! Could this be demonstrative of what your own inner landscape might be?
Ahem.....
Wow!
From what you say here, you sound very angry. That must be very uncomfortable.... I KNOW it must be because I have been angry myself at times in my life, and it hurts. It feels bad.
As far as OSHO goes, I have no idea what you are talking about or why you are making these accusations. But it kind of reminds me of the French Revolution. "Anyone who has something I don't have - - - off with their heads - - - "
Perhaps you might read this message again and be just a little bit amused with yourself?
Anger is exciting, I know, but it isn't really much fun.

if you drop the ego movement
if you drop the ego movement soo u can "be real" and see with the eyes of beauty, you are then appreciating the environment right? but he says that u can't appreciate because it's ego stuff. soo why would one CHOOSE to keep himself at silence if in the end it would still be ego? very contraditory teaching.
i choose to remain in silence soo i can be more conscious of my surroundings (life arts/beauties) and less lost in dramas/lower energies, and that makes me feel good, cause i am sharing much of the heavenly things of life. joy and awareness are always pointed here as "keys" to ascension. maybe silence is the way to these things.
Try Surrender....
Big difference between choice and Surrender.... The apparent contradiction is a classic egoist tactic.
Keep moving.....
