In this interview Veeresh talks about why the Humaniversity has been successful for over 30 years, and the significance of friendship within the staff.
If the word, Wow! is a positive affirmation, or yes! for life, a crisis can be defined as a big Boo! - a no! in life. In this interview Veeresh shares from his many deep and touching life experiences.
Veeresh was a teenage drug-addict in New York. After his rehabilitation in the first ever Phoenix House program, he started Phoenix House in England and is now the founder and president of the Osho Humaniversity in Holland.
"Yes, you are perfect just the way you are. But if you want to develop and reach your full potential, which is your responsibility in this life, you have to do some things to change your life, to improve yourself, to be more aware, to learn more."
Social interaction is the basis of Humaniversity Therapy - using the other person like a mirror. If you look at the AUM meditation, it's interpersonal communication all the time. Then you can say, "Oh, I understand who I am inside."
I think what makes the Humaniversity very exciting is that there's always some change going on. We are involved with each other. We are connected, honest, sharing, loving, and friends...that's the main thing.
