Born Again Meditation

Born Again is, strictly speaking, not a meditation but a meditative therapy. It was developed in 1988 by Ma Prem Leela at Osho's request, along with two other meditative therapies, Mystic Rose and No-Mind.

Born Again is a one-week process of rediscovering the beauty and innocence of childhood without verbalizing or analyzing past psychological experiences. The process takes two hours each day. The first hour consists of allowing yourself to just be a child again, the second hour silent sitting. Like the other meditative therapies, the 100% fully-featured version is done as a group, as group energies with a trained group leader enhance the experience big-time, but it can also be done alone and/or scaled down timewise.

The (Osho International Meditation) Resort used to offer this process once a month before the Covid era. It ran from 10 to 12 in the morning and was packaged with Dynamic, Kundalini and Evening Meeting at the usual times. As of this writing (Apr 2021), it is not known whether it will resume. It was also offered independently by many trained leaders around the world, but like all group activities in the Covid era, suspended until further notice.

The first hour of Born Again is characterized thusly by the Resort (minimally paraphrased):

You behave like a child. Just enter your childhood. Whatever you wanted to do, do it -- dancing, singing, jumping, crying, weeping -- anything at all, in any posture. Nothing is prohibited except touching other people. Don’t touch or harm anyone else in the group. [ ... ]
Once upon a time we were all real! Just naturally ourselves. When we wanted to laugh, we laughed. When we wanted to cry, we cried. When we were angry, we were angry. We danced and jumped and shrieked with delight. Playfulness was our essence. We lived in innocence, knowing nothing, except what we needed in that moment.
We were very small and needed the love of others, it was our only security. The price for that love was that we started “growing old,” rather than just naturally maturing and "growing up". The day we became good boys and girls was a catastrophe. We stopped growing -- we became artificial, unnatural, serious ...
Also, the world around us was so exciting and we wanted to go "out" and discover everything, and so we became so knowledgeable about everything except ourselves. In the process we forgot who we really are, and lost the innate ability of relaxing into not-knowing.
Now is our chance to take ourselves back to that same fork in the road. This time we can consciously choose to take the path of playfulness, innocence, naturalness, laughter ... rediscovering our originality, individuality and freedom. And once we are on the road of authenticity, then finding ourselves, finding our center, finding our own inner joy will happen by itself.

Then follows the hour of just sitting silently. As with all of Osho's active meditations, entering this silence is made easier by having first moved some energy in dancing, shaking, catharting, babbling, humming, playing, whatever. The Resort then offers what purports to be a single enormously à propos Osho quote, not sourced, which turns out to be two quotes spliced together from other contexts:

This great experiment through which we are passing is basically to achieve your lost childhood again. When I say "your lost childhood", I mean your innocence, your eyes full of wonder, knowing nothing, having nothing, but yet feeling yourself at the top of the world. Those golden moments of wonder, joy, no tension, no worry, no anxiety, have to be regained, rediscovered. The sage is nothing but the circle that started in your birth coming full way, complete, back to the same point.
~~ from The Great Pilgrimage: From Here to Here, ch 16
This is your second childhood. You are born again. Your eyes are no longer filled with the dust of knowing. But this not-knowing is a tremendous perceptivity, a great clarity. It does not need to know, because it feels, and feeling is a higher state than knowing. As the clarity becomes more and more transparent, instead of feeling it becomes your being.
~~ from Om Mani Padme Hum, ch 19

Note: Osho has not been speaking directly about the meditation in his discourses. The above are just quotes that related with it.
