notes
Published on the CD-ROM as The Last Testament (Vol 4), Ch 24
After some audio processing we were able to clearly hear the actual questions and answers and it turns out that both the questions and Osho's answers were severely edited before being printed in The Weekly Sun and Osho would probably have given very different answers if they had asked the printed questions.
Incidentally, the CD-ROM is also edited, but not quite as severely.
Not yet published in a complete form.
