Osho
Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain; 11 December 193119 January 1990), also known as Acharya Rajneesh, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and later as Osho (), was an Indian godman, mystic, and founder of the Rajneesh movement.

Seduction Of The Minotaur
''Seduction of the Minotaur'' is an autobiographical novel by Anaïs Nin, the last part of her ''Cities of the Interior'' sequence. It is about a woman named Lillian, and her self-psychoanalysis. The setting is taken from Anaïs' diary account of her first trip to Acapulco in 1947, and the novel repeats much of the first part of ''The Diary of Anaïs Nin'' volume V. Since the author was concerned with psychology rather than physical adventure, there is actually less violence in the novel than in the diary account. The exception is that the doctor allows himself to be shot because he is loved only as a doctor and never as a man, perhaps patterned after her understanding of Otto Rank's death. The title refers to the Sigmund Freud, Freudian concept of a "monster" in the subconscious confined by a "labyrinth". Since one should not kill one's own mind, the repressed feelings must be "seduced" by developing conscious Insight#In_psychology_and_psychiatry, insight. An earlier version ...
