Has anyone else noticed the sheer volume of completely fake, AI-generated Osho videos flooding platforms lately? Has anyone else been getting served these bizarre, fake clips? It’s getting seriously out of hand, and I think we need to talk about why this is happening.

Having spent a significant amount of time listening to his original recorded talks from 1960 to 1990, the subtle nuances of his real voice and presence are unmistakable. But to a newcomer, these fakes sound incredibly convincing. Seeing firsthand how advanced AI audio tools have become in the production world, it's obvious how easily someone can train a voice model to mimic him perfectly. I can tell you firsthand how terrifyingly easy it is to train a voice model to mimic his exact cadence. What’s genuinely freaky is that people are now using his synthesized voice to advance their own agendas, pushing narratives that the real Osho would absolutely never endorse. They are putting their own conditioning and dogma into the mouth of a man who spent his life dismantling those exact things.

But the technology isn't the root of the problem. It’s the vacuum that created the demand for it. And the sole reason for this plague rests entirely on the shoulders of the Osho International Foundation (OIF). By relentlessly issuing copyright strikes and taking down genuine clips posted by people anywhere on the internet, OIF has literally pimped a Buddha. They’ve taken an incredible spiritual phenomenon and bastardized it into a tightly controlled corporate asset, acting like pathetic patent trolls instead of custodians.

Because the genuine videos are constantly wiped from platforms, a massive void was left. Now, that void is being filled by thousands of these AI generated clips. OIF didn't just fail to protect his legacy, their suffocating corporate greed actively sabotaged it. It’s a serious problem when the authentic teachings are suppressed by a foundation, leaving the door wide open for deepfakes to rewrite his legacy.

Stop supporting OIF’s monopoly, stop sharing these freaky AI clips, and start archiving the original tapes before this deepfake noise buries the real teachings forever. We need a way to preserve and share the real recordings before the AI noise drowns them out completely.

“Should people who support Israel be excluded or what attitude should we have towards Israelis?"

Already the question has gone wrong. Because the moment we say “Israelis” we have reduced living beings into a category. And categories are the mind’s way of avoiding reality. We are asking what "attitude" we must have. The word attitude means a prejudice. An attitude is a posture of the ego. It means we have already decided not to look at reality nakedly and we want a readymade pair of glasses through which to judge.

Guys just look at what is actually happening here. We are talking about Israelis, Palestinians, nations, flags, and politics. What are these things? They are fiction. The Earth has no lines drawn upon it. The lines exist only in the neurotic mind of man. "Israeli" is a disease. "Palestinian" is a disease. "Indian," "British," "American", these are all beautiful labels for madness. Humanity has been divided by politicians and priests so that we can be exploited, so that we can be sent to kill and be killed.

Now, we bring this madness into the world of trance, into the dance.

We go to a trance festival to lose ourselves. The very word trance means to go beyond the mind. We dance to become nobody, to let the ego dissolve into the rhythm, to become one with the whole. But our egos are very cunning. We drop the ordinary world, we go to the forest, we play the music, and suddenly the ego returns from the back door. It brings a flag.

A flag is just a colored piece of cloth. But millions of people have been murdered for these colored rags. To bring a flag to a space of meditation, a space of dance, is an absolute absurdity. It simply shows that the person is asleep. He is not there to dissolve, he is there to project his ego. He is shouting, "I am an Israeli!" because deep down he is terribly afraid. Nationalism is always born out of an inferiority complex and fear. When a man is afraid of his own emptiness, he clings to the crowd, to the nation, to the flag. It gives him a false sense of power.

But look at our own minds!

We are getting triggered by their flag. We are getting anxious about who is an IDF soldier, who is standing with whom, who we should include, who we should shun. If we are anxious, we are also not dancing! The man wrapped in the flag is completely asleep, and us, getting disturbed by his flag, are also asleep. We are both missing the festival. We are both carrying the burden of the political world into a space that was meant for transcendence.

What must we do? First, stop dealing with labels. We cannot interact with an "Israeli." Have we ever really met an Israeli? We have only met human beings. Some human beings happen to be born in a geographic area called Israel. They have been conditioned from childhood to fear the world, to defend themselves, to believe they are a chosen people under threat. It is a psychological imprisonment.

If a person comes to you, look into their eyes. Do not look at their passport. A passport is a dead thing, the man is a living reality. There are people born in Israel who are deeply awakened, beautiful, and utterly tired of the bloodshed. There are people born there who are utterly blind, full of violence and trauma. It is the same everywhere. If we judge a man by the actions of the politicians who rule the land of his birth, we are committing a spiritual crime. We are dehumanizing him.

If we shun a person simply because of their nationality, we are practicing the exact same fascism we claim to oppose. The tolerance paradox is an intellectual game of the mind. The mind says, "To be inclusive, we must exclude the exclusive ones." Do you guys see the trap? We become the very monster we are fighting.

If a man comes to the dance floor aggressively waving a flag of a warring nation, ignore the flag. Have compassion for the man. He is carrying a heavy corpse. Do not fight him. If we fight him, we give his ego exactly what it wants; friction, opposition, identity. Just let him be. Let our dance be so deep, so totally free of politics, that his flag looks utterly ridiculous in our presence.

And psychedelics cannot give us awakening if we are still attached to our political identity. We can take all the LSD in the world, but if we are still an Israeli or a Brit or an activist in our heads, we have only hallucinated. We have not expanded our consciousness.

Do not stand with any nation. Stand with consciousness.

If we really want a revolution, let it be an inner one. When we are on the dance floor, drop the news, drop the history, drop the future. Be a pure, witnessing consciousness. If we can be a light unto ourselves, our very presence will be an invitation for others to drop their flags, their uniforms, and their weapons.

We cannot force peace by policing the dance floor. Peace arises only when the ego is absent.
