There are many shocking things aboutWild Wild Country, Netflixs documentary series about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (a.k.a.
Lets get started, shall we?
Here are the most intriguing and eye-opening details fromWild Wild Country, Part 1.
What could she have possibly done?
What does it have to do with the Rajneeshees?
And why is she Bhagwans former secretary?
The very first speech Sheela delivers inWild Wild Countrysets the tone for whatever did happen.
With every crown comes the guillotine.
Without the guillotine you cannot wear the crown.
And it was my fate, she says.
But why does one have to put someone under the guillotine?
Because of their strength.
They want to destroy their strength.
And in spite of guillotine, they havent killed me yet.
They havent killed my spirit yet.
No matter where I go, I will always wear a crown.
However, Bhagwan also agreed to let Sheela live in the U.S. and get a college degree.
While there, she married Mark, a nice Jewish man who made her laugh.
Now you’re able to throw yourself into the work.
Yeah, that sounds like a cult.
They also jump up and down and shout a primal Hoo!
each time their feet touch the ground, like theyre seeing Daft Punk at Coachella.
Then, everyone lies in silence somewhat like traditional meditation.
The whole thing sounds, as the kids like to say, pretty extra.
But when we see footage of his followers greeting Bhagwan in Oregon, theyre all wearing red or maroon.
I mean,maroon!
No one looks good in maroon.
Not even Naomi Campbell in the 90s could pull of maroon.
What on Earth would make you want to wear that dastardly color all the time?
And aesthetic objections aside, why hasnt anybody in this documentary explained why theyre all dressed alike?
How does this even work?
Can you exchange those cards like currency?
Is this like cultish bitcoin?
Is this what blockchain is really all about?
What about the Antelope pies?
On the counter during this party, we see roughly ten pies.
First of all, those pies looked delicious and I want one.
That is way too much pie!
