Watchfulness Awareness Alertness

Exploring Higher States of Consciousness

Responses to a question on how to explore the higher states of consciousness. According to Osho there are not many ways to explore higher levels of consciousness, there is but one: the way of awareness.

"Man is almost unconscious. I say “almost” - there are moments, situations where he becomes conscious, but they are momentary."

A complicated medley of topics are discussed.

This Osho talk focuses on concepts of God, power, different levels of consciousness and lots of stories. The main concept driven at the end was all about consciousness (Collective conscious, super conscious and cosmic conscious) and ultimately these are just terms for different states of mind. He talks about these states of mind balancing and coming together thus creating enlightment and all of it is just beyond my comprehension. The best parts are the stories which this talk is absolutely filled with: my personal favorite was the one about the thief being trained by his father. I did like all the stories he told but a great deal of this speech was just hard to comprehend.
