Nice dude! My partner was telling me about this series too, she's 2 episodes in and couldn't wait to tell me about it... since we're in rural Oregon too it kinda feels a bit more special... it sounds like the Rajneeshis were also trying to build an entire city on their massive property. It's a fascinating story... Portland is probably one of the most blue areas in America, but rural Oregon is definitely Republican all the way... I'm sure it was an incredibly stressful time for everyone involved.

Mate, it was great. Perhaps even more eye opening was when I was at a work conference a couple of weeks back talking to a fairly senior banking executive and she was like:
Oh you mean Osho? Yeah I spent a month at his commune in my twenties. It was an amazing experience!!
:mindblown:
That's my thing about the show, what I can't get over. Even the people in the documentary who had some negative experiences speak about the guru in adoration and smile while remembering the whole experience...
Usually by the time a cult/commune breaks all you hear is former members describing abuse situations, but I haven't seen a single person say anything in this regard and they could probably stand to make money if they did.
Being this the case, understanding nobody is perfect, there probably was something very special about this Osho dude.
