Living in Illusion and the Fear of Truth

De: OSHO

Narrado por: OSHO

In this provocative talk, Osho starts with our assumption that we are interested, maybe even passionately interested, in knowing the truth - and he tears it to shreds. He goes back in history with razor sharp clarity to illustrate our long-time avoidance of the truth, and our need to hide out in illusion.

once you see it you can't unsee it.

I loved it! I recommend this for everybody! such a great book! once you see it you can't unsee it.

This is absolute golden content for awakening and comprehension of self.

The three forms of self are: the social self, the physical self and the bliss self. He mentioned the social self is the mask that was given to you and you were taught how to "act" hence it being a mask and not the real you. Misery, anger, hatred: these negative emotions arise from the social self which is of no use when it comes to self realization. The social self is also where the mind arises so all self-talk and ego is from there. He then mentioned the body self is silent and doesn't have any opinion but it is neither ego-trapped nor blissed out. The bliss self is the self that is the awareness that the self awakened experience. This talk I would consider college level spirituality: it is very informative but the content can be dense. It's worth coming back to a few times for comprehension.

thank you

this was very eye opening. I loved every part of it. a must hear for everyone

Hits specifically at Christian values, and leans toward Buddhism.

I would be fine if the philosophy hit several belief systems, but there are a lot of specific hits at Christianity specifically. Specifically sides with Buddhism, when simply could mention separating your identity from any religion itself.

And the truth shall set you free

Great book! Love how OSHO strings one concept to the next. A must listen for anyone seeking to find the truth.
