OSHO – From Misery to Enlightenment #20 – The Pagan- Chrysalis of Consciousness [1 DVD – ISO]The Pagan- Chrysalis of ConsciousnessTalk #20 of the Series, From Misery to EnlightenmentWith complete clarity, and using examples, anecdotes and quotations which amaze the reader with their range, Osho expresses his vision for humanity.”The Christians have given such a condemnatory definition to the word pagan that it has become almost the meaning of the word. To be a pagan, according to the Christians, is to be irreligious. The reality is just the reverse.Christianity is a pseudo-religion.It is not even irreligious, because to me an irreligious person is at least authentic, but a pseudo-religious person is insincere, dishonest. He is a hypocrite. So first you have to drop the idea about pagans that Christianity has created.Christianity is only two thousand years old; pagans have lived for millions of years. Before any religion was born, the so-called great religions – Hinduism, Mohammedanism, Buddhism, Christianity – before even their names were heard, the pagans were there all over the world.The pagan is not irreligious.He is not anti-religious, he is not pseudo-religious.He is not religious either; but in all these four categories, he comes closest to the religious.The pagan is of a previous state of religious consciousness.Before a man can become religious he will have to go back, through the state of being a pagan. There is no other way.What do I mean by saying that before becoming religious a man has to pass through the state of being a pagan? I mean that he has to become free from all pseudo-religions, pseudo-irreligions, all kinds of ideologies, knowledge which is borrowed. He has to become clean, just like Adam and Eve coming out of the garden of Eden.”A Rare OSHO talk on DVD!Enjoy!
