Dimensions Beyond the Known
- A fascinating journey into the many mysterious realms of our existence, including what happens to a person after death, reincarnation, the esoteric roots of religious experience, and the dimension of time. There is also an account of the Tibetan practice of bardo. The beauty of this book is that it explains metaphysical concepts in a simple and comprehensive way, at the same time presenting some challenging new perspectives on the universe and what makes it tick.
- Osho also talks intimately about his own past life in Tibet 700 years ago, and the significance of his taking birth in the 20th century.
- translated from
- Hindi : Main Kahta Aankhan Dekhi (मैं कहता आंखन देखी), in it's 4-chapter form **. Here they are the first 4 chapters.
- Geeta-Darshan, Adhyaya 13-14 (गीता-दर्शन, अध्याय १३-१४), ch.7, q.1: here as ch.6. (The Hindi book was in fact published later.)
- The Hindi source of ch.5 is unknown.
