 One of the most important life events is falling in love, yet we never learn about it in school. Societies and religions force us into models and thought-forms that are often in opposition to an organic model of love, which is instead institutionalized by marriage, religious affiliations, and nationalism. This results in love that is, for most people, a painful challenge in one form or another throughout life. In these modern days, where the focus shifts more and more to realizing one's individual potential, Osho helps us to direct our search for love by widening our view - showing us that love has many manifestations and is not limited to the 'other'. One manifestation of love is meditation, a life-changing experience that allows the flowering of real love within oneself and toward others. Osho. The Power of Love: What Does It Take for Love to Last a Lifetime? Kindle Edition Paperback “On the level of the body, you can come close but you cannot become one. Only on the lev...

Source of information from  www.oshonews.com Thirty years ago the contemporary mystic Osho was dragged – after an illegal arrest – for twelve days through six jails across the United States. The Reagan Administration and the local Oregon politicians did everything to destroy Osho’s alternative commune in Oregon which provoked both the locals and the nation. Key to this destruction was their attempts to silence Osho – who had started to get a lot of media attention – and to deport him from the US as he was fighting his immigration case through the US justice system. After his jail experience, Osho shared the shocking details of US mass incarceration which increased dramatically thereafter, but was not an issue at the time – people wanted to be safe. It took thirty years and a first black US President to expose the cruelty happening to young people in US jails, particularly the black population. Obama is the first President ever to visit a jail while in office. These video excerpts f...

  Consciousness Most of the cards in this suit of the mind are either cartoon-like or troubled because the influence of the mind in our lives is generally either ridiculous or oppressive. But this card of Consciousness shows a vast Buddha figure.  He is so expansive he has gone even beyond the stars, and above his head is pure emptiness. He represents the consciousness that is available to all who become a master of the mind and can use it as the servant it is meant to be.  When you choose this card, it means that there is a crystal clarity available right now, detached, rooted in the deep stillness that lies at the core of your being. There is no desire to understand from the perspective of the mind--the understanding you have now is existential, whole, in harmony with the pulse of life itself. Accept this great gift, and share it. The Transcendental Game Of Zen

The relationship of stress to a variety of physical illnesses is by now well known. In the United States, it is estimated that stress helps to account for two-thirds of family doctor visits, and according to the US. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it is a significant contributor to half the deaths in Americans under the age of 65. It has been predicted that by 2020, five of the top ten medical problems worldwide will be stress-related. But in today's environment, it's often difficult for people to balance the overwhelming demands of work, family, and community with the need to take time out for rest and relaxation. All too often our approach to dealing with stress comes down to having a drink or two in the evening or taking the occasional over-the-counter sleeping pill.   Pharmacy For the Soul offers a wide variety of simple, non-chemical techniques for dealing with the symptoms of stress. In its pages, you’ll find remedies for everything from tension headaches to...

I  real ly e njoyed it!   Happiness is not a result, happiness is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. Happiness is an attitude, not a desire. You can be happy here if you know how to be, and you will never be happy if you don’t know how to be and you go on desiring it. Happiness is an art. It is a way of life. If you can be silent and aware of the life that is around you and within you this very moment, you will be happy. The birds are singing, the wind is blowing… The trees are happy, the sky is happy; everything in existence is happy except you.   Osho.The New Alchemy: To Turn You On    Happiness is part of unhappiness. That’s why happiness should not be the goal of your life, because if you want happiness you will have to remain unhappy. The unhappier you are, then only a few moments, few and far between, will be those of happiness. The goal is not happiness; the goal is bliss. Don’t ask me, “What is happiness?” because that sh...

'Danger: Truth at Work' goes to the heart of our most fundamental human issues. Why can't we just live happily and be content? While we seem to have all the knowledge we need to solve our problems, we haven't. In this timely book, Osho explains that religious conditioning has held us back. Each chapter covers a different aspect of this conditioning, and, in gentle but persuasive language, shows readers how to transcend it. Individual chapters cover such subjects as The Nuclear Family: The Imminent Meltdown; Pseudo-Religion: The Stick-on Soul; They Say Believe, I Say Explore; and Ecstasy Is Now: Why Wait? and others. The enclosed DVD gives a firsthand experience of the process, which Osho calls a "dry cleaning of the mind." 'The Magic of Self-Respect' -So much of the experience of everyday life, says Osho in this insightful guide, is shaped by religious and social conditioning — and we are not even aware of the fact. We are constantly ...

This timely book explores the wisdom of the Gnostic Jesus, who challenges our preconceptions about the world and ourselves. Based on the Gospel of Thomas, the book recounts the missing years in Jesus’ life and his time in Egypt and India, learning from Egyptian secret societies, then Buddhist schools, then Hindu Vedanta. Each of Jesus' original sayings is the "seed" for a chapter of the book; each examines one aspect of life — birth, death, love, fear, anger, and more — counterpointed by Osho’s penetrating comments and responses to questions from his audience. Osho. The Mustard Seed
