| "My work consists in helping you to be free from all magic, theology, philosophy, sectarianism, churches, so that you can be religious. But now the religion has to be religionless and the God has to be godless. That is the ultimate revolution. Man has been waiting for it for long. And we are living in one of the most fortunate times, because that impossible is possible now. Man has attained to such maturity that he can take that jump. He is no more a child; man has come of age. " Osho |

Smile, and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone?
Society teaches us to be phony, which only leads to pain. But how, then, to deal with sadness?

| “Then be aware...be aware. Don’t condemn; condemnation is not going to help. It will make you more guilty, and a guilty person becomes more miserly. Just try to understand it. If you are miserly in your energy, then try to understand, “I am a miser in my energy. I don’t share.” Let this fact be there. Now move again in relationship, with people, and remember this fact. Let this ....” |

After a rubbish year.... I quit university studying financial mathematics and ended up unemployed, in an agonizing relationship, along with some dark and disturbing meditation experiences that I was having trouble integrating and accepting.
Before coming here, I tended to hang out in more conservative Theravadan Buddhist circles, doing a few retreats over the last 4 years. I came to Osho after seeing one of his books in Dharamsala and back in England the book kept ticking over in my mind.
So I rocked up expecting to find a meditation center but that’s not this place at all! In the day you could sit and read the paper, smoking! Music played all the time disturbing my concentration, and I was shocked they served alcohol in the evening! What?
So I started trying to settle in and found out that I don’t know how to be with these people. I mean I can deal with people that aren’t “spiritual” and the other ones who are “spiritual,” as long as they are silently looking at the floor. But here was a whole different breed: “spiritual” and yet they talked, played, and partied! I felt out of my depth with this super breed.
So still wound up, I signed up for the Work as Meditation program, an opportunity to see all my actions as unsacred and watch my ego squirm trying to make what I’m doing meaningful. Alas my ego won. I had a fantastic time (for my ego having fun is sacred, damn!), placed in the Events Department with beautiful people. We had a brilliant time, painting, playing, and dancing throughout the day. I was happy again which hadn’t happened in a whole year― even though I was dancing until early, surviving on four hours sleep, and then up again for crazy Dynamic at 6 am.

| Touch Your Eyes Lightly |
 |
| Use both your palms, put them on your eyes, and allow the palms to touch the eyeballs ― but just like a feather, with no pressure. If you press you miss the point, you miss the whole technique. Don’t press; just touch like a feather. You will have to adjust, because in the beginning you will be pressing. Put less and less pressure until you are just touching with no pressure at all ― just your palms touch the eyeballs. |
