Who you really are?
Every question comes from the mind and it will create a limiting definition of you. You are not a thing that can be defined, you are an infinite and indefinable being. Only by experiencing your soul by yourself can you will be able to know a truth that cannot be explained in words.
The path to awakening is the path to self-realization and self-discovery. Only if you are able to go beyond your mind will you be able to connect with the higher self, the eternal being that has always been and always will be, your soul, your consciousness.
Meditation is a process in which you are taken to the deepest dimensions of your being, in a space beyond your mind, beyond the illusory personality that the mind projects and limits you. It takes you directly to the presence, to the watcher, so that you experience that your true self is not something that can be defined.
You are not healthy, you are not real. This society has clouded your mind and made it take control of your life, a life of servitude and slavery to serve a destructive system, a beast without heart or conscience, ready to devour everything.
Meditation and all its techniques are a process to heal and return the mind to its rightful place, to your service and not the opposite.
As you are able to go deeper and deeper into the process of meditation, you will reach a point where you will find a great "nothingness". This nothingness is your being, however, it is not a negative "nothingness", on the contrary, it is the most positive essence and force you can find, it is your eternal soul.
Currently, you live a life of identification with your body, your thoughts, your past, your culture, your work, your possessions, all those things that define and limit you. Your essential being is pure anarchy, it is so infinite that it is impossible to define it. You have experienced lifetimes and lifetimes playing multiple characters, once you know this truth through experience, you will realize that you can become anything, there are no limits.
Undoubtedly, this truth has been hidden for centuries and centuries so that humanity remains docile and easy to dominate. Otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain the system which feeds on us, on our dreams, on our vitality and creativity.
In order to grow inwardly and thus expand consciousness one must first return to the natural state of being, a state that has been disturbed, limited and altered by social conditioning.
The awakening of the essential being begins with an inner rebellion.
Your essential being is pure anarchy, the nature in you is wild, society has turned you into "a thing", an object to be exploited, dominated and of course easy to manipulate.
The mind does not belong to you, it has been disturbed and hacked by the system using subtle methods of repression and control.
Neurosis is a disease in the psyche latent in practically all civilized mankind. It is important to understand the nature of this fact.
Your inner nature is wild, as is the outer nature. Human beings are not made to live repressed and behave like "good citizens," wearing masks all the time and hiding our deepest emotions for fear of expressing them.
The same goes for sexual energy, the most natural and basic energy in us. The social processes that exist only repress the sexuality in us, preventing us from expressing it freely, creating social relationships that prevent sexuality from flowing naturally. Consequently, sexuality has degenerated and become taboo. In this way, they keep humanity captive, unable to express itself freely.
The inner rebellion begins when you first realize that the mind is not you, and that it has become filled with rules, norms and moralities designed to limit, define and enslave you.
When you first begin to observe and disidentify with the mind, an internal struggle will begin, for the mind will not want to give up its place of power over you, a mind that has been manipulated by society, its voice, is the voice of society speaking to you.
The awakening of consciousness is a process that occurs in absolute aloneness.
Unless you are in a space with other seekers and meditators, the path to awakening must be done completely alone. That is not to say that you cannot relate, however, any relationship will be an anchoring to the mind of society.
You can be sure that the moment you begin the path to awakening, the moment you begin to transform yourself, the people around you will resist that change. They will do everything possible to convince you to go back, because the simple fact that you start to free yourself and find your happiness, your authenticity, these people will feel jealous and offended, because they will not be left behind. You will be the reflection of their misery.
So, you must be prepared to make sacrifices, to distance yourself if necessary, so that in this process you do not encounter any interruption, especially at the beginning, in which many doubts will disturb you.
You will be distancing yourself from the crowd, and that very fact will make you start to feel lonely. This feeling of lonely will occur only at the beginning, because it will be a negative state, of sadness, you will miss the company of others, because you are still dependent on them.
Don't worry, this state will last for a while, like a long night and then the sun will appear at dawn. Then, the polarity of your state will change and loneliness will become a positive state, aloneness.
Then you will be learning to be alone, to relate to others without being emotionally and physically dependent on them. Then your way of relating will be a sharing and not a need, you will start to stop being a beggar and become an emperor.
If you truly seek liberation and self-realization, you must learn to let go of both physical and emotional attachments. Otherwise, you will be dragged back into your state of sleep and bondage. .
The one who can be happy alone is really an individual. If your happiness depends on the others you are a slave, you are in bondage.
-Osho
Courage: The most fundamental virtue for the path of awakening.
Awakening is not a path for cowardly minds, you will need a lot of courage and overcome many difficulties. With the crowd one "feels safe", being an individual is a journey without dependencies.
The mind is coward, lazy and will do everything in its power to seduce you into not making any changes in your life. Be alert and aware.
The mind can only exist in the past, what has already been, something that is dead, and in the future, a distorted projection of the past forward.
In continuous present, the mind cannot exist, being in the present moment means being in a state of presence, without any thought. The here and now belongs to being.
They tricked you in school when they taught you that time is: past, present and future. It is not like that, time only exists in the past and the future, reality, existence only exists in the present, which is continuous eternal.
Your former life, your past is no more, it is unreal, it is dead. The mind only knows the past, the information that has been recorded and stored from it. Reality, existence is a completely mysterious flow, one cannot know what life is going to offer you. The mind is constantly trying to project different scenarios based on the information it has been capturing to predict the present future, something impossible, because the mind is something absolutely small compared to the vastness of existence
To live in repetitive processes is to be dead in life. The fact of feeling bored is not something negative, on the contrary, it indicates that your intelligence is talking to you to make a change. Just like water. that has stopped flowing and has stagnated, if you feel that your life has reached that point, you must change and renew yourself. Life is an evolutionary process and expansion of consciousness. Self-realization is not a state that you reach for and "game over." You must remain in constant movement and balance in order to maintain a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
Leaving behind the "comfort zone of the mind" will be a difficult process at first, only with great determination or the guidance of a master more advanced than you can guarantee your success in the process..
The function of the real spiritual master.
You still don't know who you are or the dormant potential in you. The spiritual master is the one who will guide you in the inner labyrinth of your mind and give you love and support so that you can continue moving forward. A true master will be able to see more in you than yourself.
Imagine that instead of being initiated on the path of awakening, you are being initiated as a warrior and that martial artists are extremely rare beings. Unless you find one who can teach you everything he learned to become a capable warrior, you should gain your wisdom through experience, fighting many battles and in case you survive and master your own fighting style.
A spiritual master is a practically essential figure, even more so today because in ancient times and in some countries, people who sought enlightenment were revered and helped. Especially in the East, there were temples where the seekers of truth could take refuge, the culture gave them some support and respect.
At present, this does not happen and less so in the West, at a time when everything is fast, frenetic and superficial.
Reaching awakening is an arduous path, reaching it by yourself, without the help of someone real by your side, is almost impossible, very few have been those who have achieved it by themselves.
So, if your search is sincere, if you are prepared to give up everything you think you know, to give up the version of reality that has been implanted in your mind, look for a true master who can reflect and guide you, then Otherwise, a path full of obstacles awaits you.
There are two main functions of a spiritual master: The first, to guide you and give you the last push so that you let the Ego die and thus achieve awakening. Second, confirm that the awakening has happened correctly and that the mind is no longer in control of your life..
Final words:
The path to awakening is the most beautiful and at the same time the most difficult journey you can choose. You must die and then be reborn. The death of the Ego so that your true being can flourish..
The sacred texts of ancient times can serve as inspiration but give up the idea of sticking to them as guides or fixed rules. The world has completely changed since then, if you load yourself too much with holy scriptures or "spirituality" books, they will only confuse you even more.
Because of this reality, I decided to create the concept of Neo Religio, because the same thing happened to me too, I studied and practiced these and those texts, from these and those enlightened masters of the past. Although each one pointed to the same place, they did so from a very different angle and vision. Getting a holistic view has been hard work, sometimes painful and confusing.
That is why my contribution to the world is an open path to awakening, containing only the essentials necessary for your growth and awakening to take place, without you having to follow the unique preferences of my being.
In this way, you will be able to build your own religion using the bases of Neo Religio, the system that I have created as the fundamental basis of your spiritual development.
Neo Religio is a set of teachings and fundamental meditation techniques so that you can develop an understanding of your inner world and thus obtain your own truth from the outer world.
Neo Religio is a method of neutral spiritual growth, without doctrines, without beliefs, without ceremonies. It is the basis for you to build your own vision and religion, your own Yoga.
Osho is and has been to my growth the greatest and most revolutionary enlightened master to date. I will be forever grateful for his dedication, courage, and work. A master among masters who was completely misunderstood.
The word "religion" has been polluted and corrupted over the centuries by unconscious and greedy minds that have used "the corpse" of religions that created enlightened master for their own selfish, greedy and destructive interests. All "isms" have simply become institutions governed by unconscious and sleeping beings. Its sole purpose is to gather more followers, more power, more unconsciousness.
Stay away from all dead religion, be it Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Shamanism, Sufism and so on. None of them has recently managed to wake anyone up, quite the opposite.
A very different case is that you are lucky enough to find a true master who has chosen to be inspired on his path by the spiritual master who created some of these religions. The potential problem will be that said spiritual master will only be able to teach you the specific path that she chose, and it may be that that path does not fit with you.
For example, Yoga and almost all of its branches, fit very well with a Hindu mind and body, with an ordinary Western person, it can be a path even harmful. "Food that is good for a bird is not good for a tiger"
