synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, I often hear you saying that every child comes to this world with an empty mind, as a tabula rasa. How is it possible that we, in spite of this, carry memories and conditionings from past lives? Would you please say something about this?
Question 2
Beloved Osho, in a few days I am going to visit my eighty-year-old father whom I have not seen for seven years. He is very insistent about seeing me but at the same time very unhappy that I am a sannyasin. How to make him feel good and still not feel like a hypocrite?
Question 3
Beloved Osho, I once observed a hypnotist hypnotizing people and regressing them into remembering past lives. It was quite convincing as the hypnotized people were describing details, their surroundings, the situation and so on. In almost every case people were drawn to a traumatic experience which usually culminated in their death. It seems that, rightly used, this could be a valuable technique. In this case, however, I felt the hypnotist was quite insensitive to the people after their experience. I think I should also add that this happened in California. Please comment.
Question 4
Beloved Osho, it is true that listening to you I often feel surrounded by softness, peacefulness, silence, but within all that is such a deep longing. It happens also sometimes when I am overwhelmed and delighted by a sunset, a full moon, a beautiful piece of music. There is always a longing, almost like a sweet pain. Osho, what is it that I long for?
