Am Anfang war das Wort… ein beschwörender Satz, der deutlich die Macht des Wortes aufzeigt. Die Worte drücken das aus, was ein Mensch glaubt oder was er glauben will, wie im Fall der Beschwörungen und Zaubersprüche . Heute würde man dazu eher Affirmationen sagen, wenn man einen bestimmten Zustand heraufbeschwören will.… Read the rest

Bashar answers a question about animal consciousness and what it means for human beings and what happens, when animals die. I guess he speaks mainly about pets, although it concerns all animals in a certain way.

Dear Ones, as we have told you, the world remakes itself now and whether or not humanity in micro or macro is supportive of expansive change or against it, it is truly a moot point as the inertia of time-chronology speeds past more quickly todaythan it did yesterday in linear sequence.… Read the rest

Die beste Art, die Zukunft zu sehen, ist sie – bewusst – im Jetzt zu erschaffen! Man braucht keine Weissagungen, keine Prophezeiungen oder anderen Schnickschnack. Das, was man jetzt gerade tut, denkt und vor allem glaubt und fühlt, wird die sogenannte Zukunft, die, wenn sie “da” ist, auch wieder die Gegenwart, das Jetzt, ist.… Read the rest

This is a completely unusual definition of forgiveness. Normally, forgiveness is considered as something positive – as a virtue. However Elias defines it no less than the wolf in sheep’s clothing, as discounting of others and of the self.

The only thing to make man really and authentically cultured is to bring up children in their innocence, and help their bodies to be healthy and their innocence to be meditative. The child can reach his center very easily because he has nothing to obstruct him, no ideas, no thoughts, no prejudices. He is not Catholic, he is not Hindu; he knows nothing. So when you say, “Go in,” he simply goes in. And the road is clean, because no Bibles, no Korans, no Bhagavadgitas are standing like a China Wall preventing him. Children can learn meditation more easily than anybody else.

So my suggestion in response to your question is that every child is born innocent. Neither barbaric nor a very cultured and religious person — just innocent. And all that the child needs from the parents and the society is not knowledge, but a deepening of innocence. Meditation is the only way of deepening innocence, and if a child grows with his center blossoming you will have for the first time a society which is cultured, a society of the buddhas, the awakened ones. That’s my whole effort here. Osho

However the actual education does everything to cast out these qualities and replaces it by the mainstream belief systems. So  at the end of all the education – be it by parents, schools or universities – is a conditioned human being who is ignorant about his own power. He lost his innocence.
