Let me begin with this negativist statement: We are never going to be able to live in a zen world of peace and love. Because we are HUMAN.And maybe in the Bible it's used a great metaphor that we've commited THE sin and we carry it deep in our nature and we have to pay for it as long as we live here on Earth. Or maybe not. Maybe guilt and sin are just invented concepts and it really is something else beyond everything.
I trully belive that life is showing me things, teaching me lessons that bring me closer in descovering myself and closer to that bliss and peace that is called happiness. But I think that once you get there , once you transcend you can't be like all the others anymore. You either go into the mountains and live there being happy with the nature and not needing anything in the material world. Or you just become an outkast of the society in some way or the other.
Life is a mystery to be lived, not to be understood - Osho
There are understandings and perspectives of this thing called LIFE that set people apart or on the contrary those that bring them togeter. And as I said we are HUMAN, this is so tricky because just by being what we are, we have a nature that is defining us. We are great in many ways, we are capable of many beautiful and amazing good things but we are also capable of destruction and other feelings like being greedy, gelous, envyous etc. There is a constant fight in our nature between "good" and "bad". Wich are themsevs inveted concepts by society/religions that create frames in the collective mind. And as Einsten said everything is relative.
The ultimate enlightenment means the ultimate dissolution of the ego, the ultimate disappearance of the individual. - Osho
Reading just one book by Osho and other fragmets from his sayings opened my mind in some way because I was agreeing most of it , but I could put all my toughts together and give them a shape and forulate them as a solution. He was talking about the future world as living in a Global Village. This is compsed by many samll comunities (max.5000 people), where there are no families , and the childern are raised by the entire comunity, and the parters can switched(with no judgement) beteen them as they want and when they want. The comunities can interact of course but there will be no money,no religions, no economy and politics (this sounds like that john lennon song) they will just make exchages like in the old times.
All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess. - Osho
At first I said to myself that's so stupid! And couldn't even imagine that really working out, but then I wanderd if is not me that is so narrow minded, and brainwashed that I can only imagine humanity working out only as a society? Society is not just an invention I think it developed and shaped itslef by the human nature. We cannot volutirely exchage things and be fair with eachother, accepting and promoting equality. We like to gather belongnings around us. We like to have relationships and be popular, because mostly we are afraid of being lonley. (This is a big part of Osho's philosophy that I agree with- we don't really know what true love is, we just want to possess the persons next to us (MY friends, MY lover, MY wife etc.) feeding our ego and we confuse that with afection;love is freedom).
The desire to belong arises because you feel empty. In a crowd of any kind — political, religious — you forget your emptiness; the crowd fills you. - Osho
And when you think how big everything got, the society, the economy how one thing leds to antoher. You would think that's the only way it could work, sure there are some flaws in the sistem but...it's working in some way. Religions, politics, economy and families all in the society! But when you realize that manipulation and use of power is used to make this work, you start to think again. You think you are not doing so bad, but it ever occured that you may not be even living, you might just be dead alive? That sounds crazy becuse you seem so conscious, why wondering so much?
When your ego is no more, only then will you know who you are. - Osho
I just think that people are afraid of losing everyting around them, their house, thier lover, thier friends and all the pillars that keep their reality working. Becuse they do not know and love themselves for who they are. Thay define themselves trough pieces of the exterior that they try to possess, thinking that's love or affection. In fact they are only taking away the purest state of the human being -freedom- and they are beging to hurt and limitate eachother, and so a chain reaction is activated.
We are afraind of new begings, and I mean with no assuremnts ar anything. Just seeing life as a game, as an experience and not being afraid at all of what might happen,just risk everything becuse you feel life so strongly that you know you can always get up and start again differently. We are so afraid of natural desaters becuse we get so attached by this world and what they manage to gather in a period of time. We hardly see posibility, twe see just a dead end.
Love is never a relationship, and relationship is never love. Love relates, but it is not a relationship. Relationship is a dead thing, a closed thing. Love is a flowing. - Osho
The same with society that gives us an illusion that things are oragnised, the society that puts labels so easily: "that one didn't get a job untill now", "the other one didn't got married yet", what is he thinking? what is he doing with his life?" All these lables and frames so that we can be controled more easily.
Maybe it's paranoic and people in their grateness still manage to feel happy in this conditions, but something in me tells me this is not IT, this is not happiness and reading some big beard guys books makes me belive it even more.
Just finding that “I am nobody”… and that’s how existence is.
