The West has taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have undertaken to “do” meditation. The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 3, Osho explores different states of unconsciousness and the ways in which they can transform awareness of the here and now.

Welcome to Creative Sauce with Andi Osho - a podcast series about being a creative! Each week, I'll discuss everything related to creativity from wealth to wellbeing, fear to freedom, legacy, failure, rejection, success and more. Whatever part of the creative career path you're on, this is the podcast for you. But not only will you hear from me, I've got a treasure trove of advice from established creatives you know and love. I'll also make sure your thoughts and comments are very much a part of the conversation. To support the podcast and keep the conversation going, you can make a one-off ...

Osho addresses and beautifully explains a common issue - the need for attention - that is taking so many eccentric shapes and forms in today’s global media-mania-dominated world. The need for attention is a human reality, and almost everybody is a beggar for attention. The root cause of why one seeks attention is because one does not know oneself. Attention is nourishment for your personality - which is not your real being but just a fake "persona" created by society. Your real power is in your individuality, which you have to discover.

Osho always expresses unusual insights to education and the upbringing of children. In this talk, responding a question, he explores the relationship between children and parents. He says, meditation and consciousness give opportunities to change the direction of these relationships and therefore the whole of humanity. Parents respecting their children, rather than seeing them as property, is a key point.

In the ordinary course, being “out of your mind” is not a positive statement being associated with a person who is out of control and not able to take care of himself, perhaps even harmful to others.

With modern media, there is an impression that this world is becoming more chaotic than ever before. However, according to Osho’s understanding, the world has not changed but remains the same: upside down, crazy, insane. The fact that in the last 3,000 years humanity has fought 5,000 wars is evidence enough but what has changed is an awareness that we are crazy, that something is basically wrong with humanity.

Every child has been conditioned not to love himself but to love others. That is impossible. Only a very deeply selfish person can be unselfish. Being self-centered is basic. A self-centered person seeks to maximize his happiness. The happier you become, the more you will seek to share that happiness with others. That is the only way to be happy.

Only once in the history of human consciousness, says Osho, has a thing like Zen come into being. In Zen: Its History and Teachings, the noted mystic explains that Zen has no rituals, no chanting, no mantras, no scriptures - only short, evocative parables and teachings that make it ideal for the modern man. Using his characteristic humorous, encouraging style, Osho guides through the origins and development of this seminal spiritual tradition that is neither religion nor dogma nor creed.

The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE. Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That’s why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha.

El Tantra es un concepto muy revolucionario. El mas antiguo y a la vez el mas nuevo. El Tantra utiliza el acto sexual para integrarte, pero tendras que adentrarte en el muy meditativamente, olvidando todo lo que has oido sobre el sexo, lo que has estudiado sobre el.

Alle großen Meister, von Lao-tse, Buddha bis Gurdjieff, haben darauf hingewiesen, dass die meisten Menschen nicht wirklich wach sind. Wir verbringen unser Leben in einem Dämmerzustand der Unbewusstheit, nicht nur nachts, sondern auch tagsüber. Doch erst wenn wir vollkommen erwacht sind, präsent in allem, was wir tun, stehen uns alle Fähigkeiten unseres Bewusstseins vollständig zur Verfügung, sodass wir zur wahren Freiheit und Meisterschaft des Lebens finden können.

Wisdom, says Buddha, arises from within, and is the only true knowledge. In The Dhammapada Osho speaks on wisdom, which he calls knowing, and on the difference between knowing and knowledge. Knowing, he says, is spontaneous response: it comes from inner silence, it is our own truth, an existential experience. Knowledge is dependent on the past, it is mechanical, it is second-hand, it comes from another, and hides the truth from ourselves. Knowing gives us inner direction; knowledge only outer direction. And the key to the intuitive faculty of knowing is meditation.

The child needs your love, not your help. The child needs nourishment, support, but not your help. Every way to help a child is wrong. The very idea of helping is not right. The natural potential of the child is unknown, so there is no way to help him rightly to attain to his natural potential. You cannot help when the goal is unknown; all that you can do is not interfere. And in fact, in the name of help everybody is interfering with everybody else; and because the name is beautiful, nobody objects.

Osho nos propone el reto de llevar a cabo una revolución individual por la que concebiremos el mundo de una forma nueva y radical. Nos invita a cuestionar todo aquello que la sociedad, la política, la religión y la cultura nos han enseñado a creer, la única forma por la que lograremos hallar nuestra propia voz, enmendar nuestras escisiones internas y abrazar todos los aspectos de la experiencia humana.

Una excelente presentación de la filosofía de Osho, este libro es un compendio de todas sus propuestas—debidamente sistematizadas—para potenciar el crecimiento personal y hallar el camino que conduce a la verdad.

Yadi aap jivan me atma-kranti chahte hai to apani sari bhulo ka, apni samasyao ka uttardayitva lo. Dusro par dosh madhne se kuch hasil na hoga. Manovigyan aur dharm me yahi phark hai. Manovigyan apani manasikta ke liye dusre ko doshi manta hai, aur dharm svayam ko. Pashchim ahamkar ko majbut karta hai aur purab ahankar ko mitata hai. Yadi tum jimmedar ho to hi vikas ki sambhavna banti hai.

Responses to a question on how to explore the higher states of consciousness. According to Osho there are not many ways to explore higher levels of consciousness, there is but one: the way of awareness. "Man is almost unconscious. I say “almost” - there are moments, situations where he becomes conscious, but they are momentary."

The West has taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have undertaken to “do” meditation. The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In book one, Osho reintroduces us to our body, focusing on the “root” of the human, the soul.

Mut bedeutet nicht, frei zu sein von Angst, sondern vielmehr, sich im vollen Bewusstsein seiner Ängste mit ihnen zu konfrontieren. Mut ist die Bereitschaft, der fundamentalen Unsicherheit des Lebens zu begegnen und sie als das grundlegende Mysterium unserer Existenz zu achten. Osho, der provokante spirituelle Lehrer, der seine Schüler und Anhänger stets radikal mit der existenziellen Ungewissheit des Lebens konfrontierte, beantwortet hier alle Fragen rund um das Thema Mut und Ängste.
