synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, once you said that we have shown courage in being with you -- but it doesn't feel like that to me. To me it feels like the easiest and the only thing to do. It rather frightens me to think of living in this world away from you. It feels like walking out of life into death. Can you please explain this for me?
Question 2
Beloved Osho, does "to become conscious" mean that something that was unconscious is raised to the level of the mind, and only when it has passed through the state of the mind can it rise to the level of superconsciousness? Does everything need to pass through the mind, or is it possible to become conscious from another place, and jump the mind stage?
Question 3
Beloved Osho, each day for the past ten days or so I have been attempting to hypnotize myself. While I have been able to relax very deeply, that's all that has happened. I am not aware of any resistance to letting myself fall into the unconscious. On the contrary, it feels like a whole new trail that I would love to explore, yet for some reason hypnosis hasn't happened. Is it to be expected that it will take quite a bit longer, and should I persevere?
Question 4
Beloved Osho, why did the great masters of tantra call their teaching "the whispered transmission"?
Question 5
Beloved Osho, in existence only the animal kingdom is capable of eating itself for food. A cabbage cannot eat a carrot for lunch, but man has even been known to eat his fellow man for dinner. The man of Zen has dissolved into the vast existence and chooses not to eat meat. Please explain.
