Entry 346 - Powerful Quote by Osho

-
9/30/20

“God is a presence, not merely a person. God is the ultimate experience of silence, of beauty, of bliss, a state of inner celebration. Once you start looking at God as godliness there will be a radical change in your approach. Then prayer is no more valid; meditation becomes valid.

One is now and here. In that tranquility, in that calmness, you become aware of a luminous quality to existence. Then the trees and the mountains and the rivers and the people are all surrounded with a subtle aura. They are all radiating life, and it is one life in different forms. The flowering of one existence in millions of forms, in millions of flowers.
THIS experience is God. And it is everybody’s birthright, because whether you know it or not you are already part of it. 

The only possibility is you may not recognize it or you may recognize it. The difference between the enlightened person and the unenlightened person is not of quality – they both are absolutely alike. There is only one small difference: that the enlightened person is aware; he recognizes the ultimate pervading the whole, permeating the whole, vibrating, pulsating. He recognizes the heartbeat of the universe. He recognizes that the universe is not dead, it is alive.

This aliveness is God!
And, of course, when you are not even aware of your own reality, how can you be aware of the reality of others? The first experience has to happen within you. Once you have seen the light within you will be able to see it everywhere.

God has to be freed from all concepts of personality. Personality is a prison. God has to be freed from any particular form; only then he can have all the forms. He has to be freed from any particular name so that all the names become his.

Then a person lives in prayer – he does not pray, he does not go to the temple, to the church. Wherever he sits he is prayerful, whatsoever he is doing is prayerful, and in that prayerfulness he creates his temple. He is always moving with his temple surrounding him. Wherever he sits the place becomes sacred, whatsoever he touches becomes gold. If he is silent then his silence is golden; if he speaks then his song is golden. If he is alone his aloneness is divine; if he relates then his relating is divine.

Meditation has two parts: the beginning and the end. The beginning is called dhyana and the end is called samadhi. Dhyana is the seed, samadhi is the flowering. Dhyana means becoming aware of all workings of your mind, all the layers of your mind – your memories, your desires, your thoughts, dreams – becoming aware of all that goes on inside you.
Begin with dhyana, with meditation, and end in samadhi, in ecstasy, and you will know what God is. It is not a hypothesis, it is an experience. You have to LIVE it – that is the only way to know it.”

March 17th 2023 Mean girls the movie may be the girl bible for the ladies, but rap is the only place where a man can be cocky and talk about pussy and somehow still keep his reputation. So many modern rap songs are trash. Remove the beats and keep the verses, and they sound like a broken percussion by a creep who makes poems about women’s private parts. When are they going to focus on women’s smarts, their hearts and their love in every fart??? – March 21st I got bored, so I started living my best life. – March 22nd White magic, new age, Kundalini, spirituality that stress one needs to be detached from emotions, which is completely contrary to why we came here, is super toxic. Any idea of transcending your emotions is also a denial of our humanity because we came here with an emotional body in order to feel every emotion, not just “the good ones….” Whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean. When you deny your emotions, you also deny yourself. You deny the reason why you came here– to e

February 5th 2023 The reason why nothing means anything until we give it meaning is because of this: In order to have something mean something, you need to have something that doesn’t mean something. In the act of splitting those two apart or existing separately, it creates duality.  If all that was before there was everything was love, then there is no meaning, just love. That’s why love doesn’t mean something because that would create duality. Love just is. To say it means something is to imply duality because in order for something to mean something, then something else must contrast it. Love is before what means or doesn’t mean anything. That which is, precedes labels, definitions, dualities and physical reality. It is the eternal. That which encapsulates and goes beyond. Love is the limitless infinite. The One that will never fail to be what it is. -- I thought I was asexual, but then I realized I only want the baddest bitch that exists. -- February 6th Many Christians think the w

March 2nd 2023 I was confused why i wasn’t like the others Why I preferred one over a thousand lovers One kiss for eternity over hook ups in beds Was I conditioned by church to stay a virgin or did I choose that out of my own internal provision? Was I programmed to detest sex or did I detest the idea of it being treated anything less than an act of divinity? Was I asexual or were my standards too high? What about sex keeps me a virgin? Is it God? The church? Or myself? A virgo in astrology might have foreshadowed the realization but if I don’t need it why make a big deal about it? If I feel the reason is not persuasive enough, why do it with another? and so I don’t. Does that make me anything? maybe it just makes me another human. Perhaps there is an undertone As I write this I feel it bubble to the surface I’ve always known I’m a hopeless romantic at heart Falling deeply for people in my dreams without an ounce of showing any of those feelings outwardly But it reaches deeper than that
