"Anything that you do out of fear and greed is bound to be wrong because fear and greed are unconscious states. Out of fear you have dreamed about hell, out of fear you have dreamed about heaven. There is no hell, no heaven. These are all your dreams.
When you are not dreaming at all, when the sleep has disappeared and you are
awake, there is no heaven, no hell. That state Buddha calls "liberation " —
liberation from greed, liberation from fear. " Osho |

| BREATH: A DOORWAY TO A NEW DIMENSION |
|
| Such a basic component of life and yet we take the miracle of our breathing pretty much for granted. Used rightly, breath can provide a bridge to the beyond.... |
| "We are breathing continuously from the moment of birth to the moment of death. Everything changes between these two points. Everything changes, nothing remains the same; only breathing...." |

| LET IT BE! |
|
| By letting your fear of aloneness be there, by not rejecting it, denying it or repressing it, it will finally dissolve, according to the Osho perspective.... We continue this month from where we left off last month in this 2-part response to the issue of aloneness. |
| "The cyclone has gone and you will now be centered, centered as you never were before. And once you know the...." |

Just the other night we heard a wonderful talk from Osho on Zorba the Buddha. “Zorba represents the materialist in its best form, Buddha represents the spiritual in its best form. But you are both, spirit and body. Existence is both, matter and consciousness. Therefore I say that spiritualists have been denying the very base of the temple. They accept the temple but they deny the foundation of the temple, and without the foundation no temple can stand. That’s why religions have failed…. Buddha is half of the truth, and Zorba is half of the truth…. Now it is time for Zorba the Buddha to appear…. Nothing has to be sacrificed, and everything has to be experienced. From body to soul, from earth to sky, all is ours.”
In support of this revolutionary proposal, the meditation resort has a beautiful wellness and fitness area called “Fitness for the Witness.” Located among lush green foliage you can find courts for badminton, volley ball, basketball and tennis -- a chance to play Zennis! Playing just for the joy of each moment, unconcerned about winning or losing. Being “In the Zone” as sportspeople describe it.
Close by you can hear the ping pong of ping pong! Overlooking the courts is a neat gym with tread mill, power cycles, cardiostepper, weights and now a new addition, The Powerplate My5, a revolutionary approach to whole body exercise.
Then perhaps a sauna before enjoying the Olympic-sized swimming pool that curves around the beautiful overhanging trees including Jacarandas which rain their yellow petals on the swimmers below, a perfect color combination with the maroon swimwear. |

The Bestseller Trilogy Series:
The three bestselling Osho titles are available as a hardcover series from Harmony, New York.
The Book of Understanding: Creating Your Own Path to Freedom
Emotional Wellness: Transforming Fear, Anger, and Jealousy into Creative Energy
Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear
Osho has a way with words in his Book of Understanding, but the power of his words lies in the reader’s ability to allow his mind to open and accept Osho’s unique approach in helping us find clarity of mind. A great introductory book for new and advanced Osho readers.
In Emotional Wellness we learn how to reconcile our need to express our emotions with our desire to protect others. Far too often we find ourselves trapped in this dilemma of expression versus repression. We fear that by expressing our true feelings, we will hurt and alienate those close to us. But by repressing our emotions—even in the benevolent guise of “self-control”—we only risk hurting ourselves.
In Being In Love Osho challenges us to question what we think we know about love, and opens us to the possibility of a love that is natural, fulfilling, and free of possessiveness and jealousy. |

| To a child, the whole world is alive, vibrant — but as we grow older we start living as though surrounded by dead things. Recapture the capacity to live in an illumined, alive world. |

Know Only Consciousness Exists :
If you penetrate into your body, three layers are there: Just on the surface is your body. The body looks material, but deep down there are currents of life, prana, vital energy. Without that vital energy your body would be just a corpse. It is alive, with something flowing in it. That flowing “something” is energy. But deeper, still deeper, you are aware, you can witness. You can witness both your body and your vital energy. That witnessing is your consciousness.
Every existence has three layers. The deepest is the witnessing consciousness. In the middle is vital energy, and just on the surface is matter, a material body.
