THE CHRISTMAS SURVIVAL GUIDE
For all those who simply love Christmas, we reckon your needs are well taken care of. This issue is for those who are dreading it. But first, don't blame Jesus. He was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died a Jew and had never heard of Christianity, let alone Christmas. This festival was actually a great pagan affair before the Christians hijacked it. So, if you are looking for a good time, think pagan.

And if you need to drop some good old Christian guilt before letting your hair down, here's something that might help.

If you are going to stay with the family and it drives you up the wall,

there is always Dynamic Meditation.

Everything you ever thought about Christmas but were afraid to say

The alternative greeting card
Select a greeting card with a difference:
"Subjective art you will find everywhere. It comes from your feelings, from your heart, from your mind — in paintings, in poetry, in music.
"But objective art comes from the emptiness of your heart. You just become a flute, a hollow bamboo and the universe sings through you."   Osho

PUBLISHING NEWS

Publishing wrap-up 2001
As the year draws to a close, Osho International in New York reports that the "Osho shelf" in North American bookshops has grown by half a dozen titles over the past year. Beginning with the release of the paperback edition of Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic in the spring, new publications over the year have included a first edition hardcover in June titled Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: A New Vision of Relating. There are three new Insights books being published this month (see below) and a paperback of classic talks called Osho on Zen was released by Renaissance Books in October. All are available or easily ordered online and at bookshops throughout North America. The Zen book will be followed by a second title on Tao in February — and watch for a color-illustrated version of India My Love to arrive in shops around mid-January.



New this month — more insights for a new way of living
THREE NEW TITLES in the expanding Insights Series — all focusing on the "how to" and the benefits of a self-aware, nonserious and relaxed approach to the challenges of real life — have just been published by St. Martin's Press in the USA. All are trade paperbacks of around 190 pages with a list price of $11.95. The covers feature Osho art, and the inside text design invites both "dipping in" for a quick, fresh perspective and reflective reading that opens ever-deepening layers of understanding. The new titles are:
Awareness: The Key to Living in Balance
Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic
Intimacy: Trusting the Other and Oneself
See the osho.com shop for more details, including contents and readings for each of the books.
