  1. I have been reading about Osho's biography. I discovered that he was a philosophy student and later he became a philosophy professor in the academic world.

    I don't undestand how a Spiritual master like osho could have become a Western Philosophy professor . I mean he had said a lot of stuff against rationality and philosophical stuff . Why should a man like him waste time on philosophy ? 

    Do you know something about it ? 


  2. I have a similar situation . I was very interested in philosophy but now after knowing all the spiritual world it became meaningless , so i don't have any idea what to do in life , i wanted to became a philosophy professor.

    The problem is that we are serching for the BEST thing to do, but this classification is pure illusion. The is no best thing to do , we waste out time in mental analysis , this creates anxiety and confusion . 

    Try this exercise : Try to be totally involved with something you are not familiar with . For example a science book or history , geography. You can aply this to every field . You will see that with total involvment everything you do is beautiful and joyfull.

    No matter what you choose , important is to be decisive .


  3. Hi everyone. I'm 20 years old . One year ago i had Derealization/ Depersonalization and a lot of existencial crisis. This brought me to leave university. I was studying philosophy . Now i'm healed , after knowing spirituality and spiritual masters like eckhart tolle and osho.

    Now i feel very lost because i don't know what to do and what i want  for my future . I don't feel the sensation : " I want this ! ". 

    I know i want to go to university , but i don't know what to study. I was very interested in philosophy , and after spirituality it seems very nonsense. Osho had influenced me a lot by saying that philosophy is pure madness and far away from truth.  

    Maybe he is right. 5 years studying philosophy could be stupid.

    I don't feel any attraction to an other subject .

    I surrender to the situation hoping that something happens  .

    Have you any advice ? Thank you very much. Sorry for my english

    Are you feeling a pull from within to let go of certain things and are wondering if you want to trust this spiritual/enlightenment processes?

    Or are you thinking of exploring this area for a particular reason but not sure of it due to what you said?  If so, why are you curious about this area of life?  What are you hoping to find or change in your current one?  It's important to get clear on this, since the spiritual path is not for everyone and this is not a negative, its just the course of life for "You". 

    A lot of people hear about this enlightenment stuff and due to the teacher or whats said it can come across or is directly said to be the most important thing and if you dont your life will be meaningless, but this is not the case (bible preachers use to do this).  Some souls/forms of creation are here to have a family and learn that leason, others are to be artists and create learning those lessons.  Look inside and find what you want the most, but run away from things that may scare you.

     

    I think that everyone  in his life time should truly know  who he really is . The idea that i'm living without knowing who i really am is a disprection for life and for my self.  Why living in the fake reality ? 

    I'm not feared of enlightenment , absolutley not. 

    The thing is that i love,enjoy also beeing active in the material part of life .  I'm scared that i will loose my intererst in those things. Abandoning my band , or my instrument , i don't want that.

     


  5. One could have  goals on the material level. They could be seen as simple games to play with and not be worried if they are going to be reached.

    I think osho gives a gret view about this . Zobra the Buddha . He says that the Buddha is incomplete beacause he lacks the external life, the material one . Zobra sings, dances , but he is also incomplete , he lacks the "Religious Part" of life . Buddha is the spritual one

    Hi @Giulio Bevilacqua

    I'm a musician and an artist. I "awakened" around a month ago.

    My love for art and music has remained incredibly strong, but I seem to have a freedom with it now that wasn't there before. I'm now creating art because I love bringing something into existence that wasn't there before rather than doing it for the sake of my "ego".

    Prior to my awakening, I was creative for what it might bring me (money, success, fame etc.). Now there just seems to be a desire to just create because I love doing it. The perceived pressure that was there before has gone.

    I hope that re-assures you somewhat? 

    I would add actually that from it's the greatest thing I have EVER done. Trust me when I say you will not regret putting the work in! Just go for it!

    Jon

    Thank you very much for your answer 

     


  7. Hi everyone. I was wondering about after enlightment experience.

    I have many passions, like playing music with a band , reading and so on.

    I love playing with my band , making concerts ,studying my instrument , i don't want to loose them . What is your idea/experience ?

    WIth my band we are trying to make a job out of our passion . I don't want to abandon them . 

    Thank you for attention . Sorry for the english .

  8. Hi everyone, i would like to share my actual life situation, hoping someone could help me or just give me an advise .

    I'm 20 y.o and at the moment i have no idea what to do with my future life . One year ago i was in univeristy studying philosophy, during that time i had a hard depersonalization/existencial crisis, so i decided to leave the studies and heal my self , i couldn't focus and concentrate. All that situation brought me to discover spirituality and non duality . 

    Now i really don't know what to do, i don't have that feeling to say " Yes this is what i want to do !". This makes me anxious . 

    I start thinking that i'm wasting my time  and feeling old (don't know why ). This brings fear. 

    I have a lot of interests but i can't decide , everything is so confused, maybe it is normal after a hard existencial crisis .

    Thank you for your attention , sorry for my english , i write from Italy .

     


  9. Hi everyone, i would like to share/discuss a personal doubt about psychology .

    I'm thinking going to study pscyhology, but many doubt arose in these days. I questioned my self if psychology has something useful. I think that the main problem is the ego, in every situation and in e at the source you find the ego/persona/.

    I read the Social Psychology book , and in every arogument my mind finds ego . Maybe i'm influenced a lot by spirituality and can not go beyond this ideas .

    Osho influenced me a lot saying that psychology is only pure madness.  Maybe all this spiritual stuff distorted my clearness to se psychology .

    So, if anyone of you is a Psychologist or Psychitrist could help me to understand better this mechanism of ego and the structure . 

    Thank you very much .  And sorry for my enlgish
