notes

synopsis: Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, when I meet with someone in the heart I become completely intoxicated by the experience. In those moments I feel gloriously fulfilled and ecstatic. A tremendous amount of energy starts moving in my body and I feel to go totally with it, to lose myself in it. Then -- and it always happens -- the pendulum makes the natural swing in the other direction and I find myself clinging to the recent moments of love and become unhappy. This feels like a very old pattern.

I would be grateful if you would talk about awareness and love, or how to let go but not get lost?

Question 2

Beloved Osho, since I began reminding myself to be aware in my dreams, three things have come up. First, my dreams seem to be retreating deeper into the depths of my sleep. Second, when awareness comes to the dreams, I immediately wake up. This can happen several times during the night, and then I am faced with trying to fall back to sleep again. Third, there seems to be a part of me that enjoys being entertained by the dreams and gleefully encourages the whole show as soon as sleep takes me over.

Can you shine your torch on this shadowy corner of my basement?

Question 3

Beloved Osho, listening to your beautiful answering of our questions, more and more I feel my body falling into a certain tune with your melody. Sometimes it reminds me of experiences I had during the third stage of kundalini meditation.

Could you please shed some understanding on this?

Question 4

Beloved Osho, can trance-like states be higher or lower than the conscious?
