Osho on the pathless path

osho-on-zenTHE ANCIENTS SAID:

“(SELF-)CULTIVATION TAKES AN UNIMAGINABLE TIME (WHILE) ENLIGHTENMENT IN AN INSTANT IS ATTAINED.”

IF THE TRAINING IS EFFICIENT, ENLIGHTENMENT WILL BE ATTAINED IN ONE FINGERSNAP.

IN DAYS GONE BY CH’AN MASTER HUI CHUEH OF LANG YEH MOUNTAIN, HAD A DISCIPLE WHO CALLED ON HIM FOR INSTRUCTION. THE MASTER TAUGHT HER TO EXAMINE INTO THE SENTENCE: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”

SHE FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTION STRICTLY WITHOUT BACKSLIDING.

ONE DAY HER HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE, BUT SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”

ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE

How, what you don’t know that you don’t know, is biting you… and you can’t see what bit you without help

youDontKnowYouDontKnowHow, what you don’t know that you don’t know, is biting you… and you can’t see what bit you without help

If I asked you what it is that you don’t know that you don’t know… no matter how long you looked, you would not see anything, because it is either that you don’t know or the question is stupid.

But everything that is missing for you to know is in that: what you don’t know that you don’t know.

The question is: is there a way to see what you don’t know that you don’t know? The answer is: yes… other people’s blind spots are different from y

What if you only have seven capacities? Or eight… or even nine?

sports don't normally activate any higher capacitiesThe less capacities you have the closer you are to the bottom.

Asking what those capacities are, those seven is a little dumb, but just think about it.

What does everyone who went to school has to have as capacity? Reading, using language, i.e. writing ans speaking, adding numbers, recognizing faces, smells, sounds, telling the time, basic stuff.

You may be able to cook.
You may be able to clean.
You may be able drive…

But they are not capacities: they use capacities, but they are behaviors…

Could you learn to be an investor like Warren Buffet? If you had the time, the teachers, the money?

warren_buffetI shared a few bits here and there today with my chiropractor… He has 13 capacities used.

The conversation was an utter and total failure.

Capacities, abilities, is a whole new concept, and he wasn’t even getting a glimpse of what I was talking about. Very interesting.

It seems that the mistaken belief is that you can learn anything… including being an investor like Warren Buffet… that is a total illusion: you cannot learn anything that you don’t have the capacities for.

Most types of learning, like classes, coaching, etc. don’t take you to a place where the capacity missing would turn on, because you are ready for i

Soul Correction: Building Bridges

Building Bridges When our prayers go unanswered, when there is more darkness than Light in our lives, when confusion reigns over order, there is one reason: We have severed our connection to the Original Design . However, in building a bridge to the Original Design , we must also build bridges with the people in our lives—friends and foes included. We must first repair some of the relationships in our lives. We cannot obtain one without the other

God Doesn’t Have A Thumb or Will You Dance?

I am never made to watch a movie that is not what I need to watch. It also could be that I am mono-maniac, that I have a one-track mind… who cares, right? Today, in the middle of the day, I was taken to the movie “The Girl on The Bridge.” It is a french movie from 1999.

There Is Something Wrong Here… The Human Virus

Human Being, perfect after its kind. This is a loose translation of what the bible says. When we look at ourselves and our lives, this is a nonsensical statement: we don’t feel perfect after our kind, we feel flawed, our lives don’t work, or at least not the way we want it, our bodies don’t work the way we envision perfection. So what’s up with that statement? How can it be true and so wrong at the same time
