Description

From Unconsciousness to ConsciousnessThese are the first talks Osho gave after a period of more than three years’ silence. Answering a diverse selection of questions, Osho outlines his vision for the future of mankind and reveals in stark terms how our social and psychological structures depend upon the illusion that there is a God. He speaks of how modern man, with his radically divergent left and right brains, currently appears to have two major thought systems to choose from for his understanding of himself and the world he lives in – science, with its logical certainties or religious superstition.In this book, Osho offers us a third alternative: consciousness.He points out that a man divided against himself will create a divided world, while a man of meditation is a whole man, integrated. And such an integrated man can only create a world where love and understanding are the rule, and war and crimes the exception.Chapter TitlesChapter   1: Silence, the Pull of the Innermost ZeroChapter   2: Don’t Follow Me – Because I am Lost MyselfChapter   3: Godliness, but There Is No GodChapter   4: The Opium Called ReligionChapter   5: To Be Rebellious Is to Be ReligiousChapter   6: The So-Called Holy Books: Just Religious PornographyChapter   7: From Crossianity to JonestownChapter   8: Will-to-Power: The Cancer of the SoulChapter   9: Just to Be Born Is Not Enough to Be AliveChapter 10: Your Childhood – An Education in Psychological SlaveryChapter 11: Yes, I Teach You SelfishnessChapter 12: Live Now, Pray LaterChapter 13: Ready-to-Wear Religion at the Secondhand StoreChapter 14: I Am a GnosticChapter 15: The Priest and the Politician – The Mafia of the SoulChapter 16: God Is the Greatest Fiction EverChapter 17: The Immaculate DeceptionChapter 18: Marriage – The Coffin of LoveChapter 19: Meditation – The Science of AwarenessChapter 20: You Cannot Manufacture EnlightenmentChapter 21: Enlightenment – The Only Way HomeChapter 22: Theology – The Jungle of LiesChapter 23: The Only Way to Fail Me Is Not to Be YourselfChapter 24: The Psychology of Being – The Golden KeyChapter 25: I Am Against Religions, but I Am For ReligionChapter 26: Your Actions Are Not My Concern – Your Consciousness IsChapter 27: Religion – The Last LuxuryChapter 28: Commandments, No – Just a Few RequestsChapter 29: I Teach You Reverence For LifeChapter 30: There Are No Golden Rules
