notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, I hear you often saying that the unconscious is the basement of our mind where we throw all unpleasant and repressed parts of the experiences which we have gone through in many lives because our conditioning didn't allow it to be part of the conscious sphere. What happens with the beautiful spiritual experiences we have had in some lives? Through self-hypnosis I have been able to remember a lot of such experiences. Is there a tremendously helpful treasure of positive experiences that we can retrieve?

Question 2

Beloved Osho, I see that people go on saying that they want the truth -- nothing but the truth -- and freedom; they want to live in freedom. But when it actually comes down to it, nobody wants to hear the truth or live in freedom. They want to continue to live in lies and possess what they think they have.

I see that in myself, and it is becoming less and less as I am walking the path with you. Why do we want to hold on to the ugly lies of life so much that we give up our trueness and our nature?

Question 3

Beloved Osho, I tried the trick of locking my fingers together. You said to let you know if it worked: it did!
