- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1 from Sw Prem Oscar
- Beloved Osho, Robert Bly speaks of the three brains of man -- the reptilian, the mammalian and the new brain. The reptile brain is utterly cold and ruthless. It deals with, and grows on, survival issues. The mammalian deals with comforts, which include: family, friends, relationship, home, society, religion, etc. What scientists call "the new brain" is a very thin, incredibly dense, cellular layer surrounding the rest of the brain. They have found no purpose for it. Bly says that it deals with transcendence and grows on mystery.
- All three exist simultaneously but shrink or grow depending on where we focus our energies. Each can seize control of available energy, and the first two try to do so when their own survival is threatened. Osho, could you please talk about this in the context of your work with us, the commune, and the new man?
- Question 2 from Ma Deva Dwabha
- Beloved Osho, I feel like I am buried alive under my fear. I've always been so desperately trying to be someone special to hide this fear, running further and further away from myself, until I don't know any more what it means to be real. Why do I still feel such a need to hide behind masks which I know only bring me pain and emptiness, never allowing me to love or feel loved by anyone? Why am I so afraid? Even here at your feet, surrounded by those who want to love and help me, I am still hiding. Osho, please strip me naked, tear me apart.
- Question 3 from Premdipa
- Beloved Osho, sometimes I have so much energy I really think I might burst. This energy materializes in different forms -- one moment it's pure excitement and frenzied joy, the next it's total, paralyzed misery. I am so addicted to action and drama that by lunch break I'm already out cold from exhaustion. How can I direct this loopy energy phenomenon so that I can enjoy it, rather than it enjoying me?
