Osho Rajneesh Hidden Mysteries "The Secret of Sounds"

Osho Rajneesh covered about the science of sound in the book "Hidden Mysteries". I will cover here two or three examples about the science of Sound that were mentioned in the book Hidden Mysteries by Osho Rajneesh.

At first just consider example of Vedas. Four famous Vedas of Hindus were not present in any written form. A teacher would chant mantras in the ear of a disciple and disciple would learn all the things and material present in the four Vedas. It is not much important here what the original words are but phonetics connected with the word are more important. The four Vedas were not written because experts thought that its significance would be lost. When we write a particular thing, the phonetics associated with the word are going to be altered when the phonetics play an important role. Readers start reading written material in their own ways and with their own accents.

Osho Rajneesh also elaborated the significance of sound in Mantra "Aum Mani Padme Hum". The mantra itself has no meaning but its reciting and proper phonetics activate energy chakras. I also remember one of the discourses of Osho Rajneesh when he was explaining impact of manta "Aum Mani Padme Hum" on our body. When we say "Aum", it creates vibration around our throat whereas Mani moves down and Padme reaches down till our belly. The impact of "Hum" can be felt down at our sex centre.

One of the most interesting thing that I read was the significance of bell which we see outside the Hindu temples. It has no direct relation with worshipping of idols but it has connection with mind alertness and ceasing of thoughts. Whenever someone rings the bell, it disturbs your thought process while you are sitting in the temple and makes you alert. All the divinity is attached with the ceasing of thoughts. Once, you have no thoughts, divine starts entering you.

There are also number of other examples covered by Osho Rajneesh in the book "Hidden Mysteries" related to science of sound. I wrote about those which I found more interesting. I will coming up with more information and explanation about this book.

Osho Rajneesh Hidden Mysteries "The Secret of Shapes"

The book "Hidden Mysteries" is based on the live Hindi talks given by Osho Rajneesh in 1971. The talks were totally about different mysteries present in the world. In these talks, Osho Rajneesh explained why different things which were built in the medieval period of time were important then. We have lost meaning of those things. We are just carrying those things for no reason at present but those things were very significant at some point of time. Even, if we can understand meaning of those things now, we can again utilize them for our benefits and prosperity.

In the talks, Osho Rajneesh discussed about the significance of shapes of temples. Many temples that we see today were built dome shaped. If, we chant anything under the sky. The voice of ourselves is not going to rebound at us. Dome shaped temples create echo of sound. Domes are just prototypes of sky. The only difference is that we cannot feel echo of sound sitting under the sky. In some temples, special stones were used which could increase the echo of sound. Echo of sound coming back to us from the dome shaped temples creates a circle and this circle helps in soothing you. This soothing further helps in soothing your thought process. Once, all your thoughts cease, divine starts entering within you.

We can also see that many medieval temples built around us have very small doors and they are usually without windows. It is to prevent obstruction in the circle of sound which is formed during chanting and echoing. We have started modernizing the temples with big doors and multiple windows. Osho says that these days we are just making temples like ordinary houses instead of sophisticated structures which are divine.

Ninth Insight The Emerging Culture "The Celestine Prophecy"

It is recommended that you read last eight posts in order to follow the proper sequence.

The ninth insight of "The Celestine Prophecy" deals with how the culture is going to evolve when people had already attained understanding of all the first eight insights.

The first point mentioned by the book is that humans will significantly control world's population growth so that all of the population can live at beautiful places surrounded by nature. There will be more beautiful places available at that time as comparing to present time. We will stop cutting of forests. It was highlighted in the book that forests are great source of energy. Especially, old trees are the sources of abundant energy. So, humans will prefer living around old trees and beautiful gardens to remain full of energy.

From the technological aspect, the methods of food production, cloth production and transportation will be fully automated. We will not need any currency to buy things at this point. Our lives will be abundant from both spiritual and materialistic sense. Both the dimensions are necessary for us for our fulfilment and contentment.

Individuals at this point will know what they need to do at what instant of time. They will follow their intuitions. Every individual will be able to find the natural tendency of himself. Those who want to be painters will be painters, who want to be doctors will be doctors. It is not like the present society where people are just adopting particular professions for the sake of money and fame. The future society will be free from the greed of fame and money. As, there will be no currency to operate in the society. Different professions will be enjoyed as much as they can be enjoyed. This enjoyment and harmony in different professions will further raise the level of energy and consciousness.

Society will be free from imposing of one's thoughts over others. Currently, we inherit thoughts and morality from our parents and people surrounding us. In that society, individual will be respected for his unique thoughts. The thoughts which appear strange and bizarre to us today will be natural and common in the future society.

Eighth Insight The Interpersonal Ethic "The Celestine Prophecy"

It is recommended for you to read the last seven posts to follow the proper sequence.

The eighth insight deals with how we can become addicted on others for energy. When anybody is addicted to a particular person for energy, he gets disconnected from his or her main source of energy which is universe.

This insight generally talks about romantic relationships. At the beginning of such relations, when we meet a particular person, we feel euphoria and feeling of being perfect while present with that person. Both man and woman transfer energy to each other when they are in relation which makes them feel good. But slowly, we see that something has started going wrong. It is because of dependency of energy from each other. One starts expecting things from his or her partner which in turn tries to suck energy from the partner in a forceful way. When one tries to suck energy in a forceful way, the other person stops the transfer of energy. When desired energy is not acquired from the partner, conflict starts occurring. Now, the person is not having energy supply from the partner and also not from the universe itself. It stops the process of evolution for a particular individual.

Author says that the best way to deal with this addiction is to get rid of feeling of love at first sight. When we get attracted towards a particular person of opposite sex at first sight, it makes us weak. We subconsciously want to enter in a relation with that person and become dependent for energy on that person. We can easily get addicted to such a person if we enter in a relation with that person. The right thing is to be aware about the person you want in life who can understand you completely.

Human body is actually composed of both male and female. It is all about dominance. If male portion is dominating in a human body then the person is considered male in traditional society otherwise she is female. We cannot be satisfied sexually till this male and female inside us meet. Man gets attracted towards a woman when he finds a woman close to the woman inside him. Woman gets attracted towards a man when she finds a man close to the man present inside her. So, we are generally not aware of opposite sex bodies present inside us. When couples meet traditionally, they do not get satisfied as opposite sex bodies present inside us cannot be replaced by bodies present in the outside physical world. The right approach is to have a person who is very close to the opposite sex present in your body and you do not need to be addicted to such a person. It is likely that they will keep transferring their energies to each other without any conflict. It does not hinder the supply of energy coming from the universe. The supply of energy from the universe can only make man and woman present inside our bodies to mate with each other which results to super contentment and satisfaction. Osho Rajneesh talked about the same things in his discourses. He considered this state as the attainment of super consciousness when both opposite sex bodies present inside us mate with each other.

Osho Rajneesh highlighted these issues in a slight different but in a better way. I will also start writing about those discourses which will give you better understanding of this energy transfer between couples.

Seventh Insight Engaging the Flow "The Celestine Prophecy"

It is recommended that you read last six posts in order to follow proper sequence.

The seventh insight talks about how humans in future will be able to let themselves free in existence without any conflict. The existence will automatically guide them towards their goals and ambitions. This guidance can be in the form of dreams, thoughts and day dreams. Dreams convey a lot of information to us. I do not recommend you to interpret your dreams because the world of dreams delivers totally a different message than our traditional thinking. It is almost certain that you will interpret your dreams in a wrong way. It is all about the seventh insight which is talking about future when our consciousness would be able to interpret them in a right way. Person will be able to relate dreams with their present situations of life. Dreams will guide them in a certain way, giving them a meaningful information.

This intuition can be in the form of thoughts too. When humans will start gaining understanding of seventh insight, they will be able to analyze their thoughts. They will be able to relate every thought with the major events happening in their lives. From those thoughts, they will acquire the direction to proceed.

Now, I will discuss about the thing that I liked the most about this insight. It says that when humans will start leaving themselves in this cosmos. They can enter into situations which are worst as per their normal understanding but it is part of cosmos. We are not able to see the distant future. Things adjust in a way that is beyond our imagination and normal consciousness. We also do not need to think how the things are going to adjust. They will adjust automatically. Our work would be only to watch the things but not to become victim of things.

There have been great mystics who talked about the same thing. Like Guru Nanak said "Do not fight with cosmos. More you fight, more pain and sufferings you will be collecting. Do not try to handle cosmos but let the cosmos handle you."

Sixth Insight Getting free from the Past "The Celestine Prophecy"

In the fifth insight, I discussed about the glimpses of mysticism that humanity is going to experience in the future. During this experience, person will lose sense of his body but the universe itself will become his or her body. The book "The Celestine Prophecy" says that such an experience would be temporary in nature. After some amount of time, person would be back to its normal consciousness. It would be temporary because of our pasts. We all humans stick hard to our pasts. Our lives are conditioned from childhood. We look at the society and start adopting their rules and regulations. This conditioning deviates us from our very true nature. Society teaches us to become someone else and we try hard to do it. This trying continues till the end of our lives and we do not get successful in becoming that someone else. Actually, it is almost impossible to be someone else. How can it be possible for a rose flower to be a sun flower.

I think that the whole society plays role in conditioning us but book generally talked about only parents who program us. In the fourth insight, I talked about the struggle for energy. This struggle for energy is the main reason of programming of our minds. We consciously or unconsciously under the influence of our parents start behaving in a certain way to gain energy from others. Author classified people`s programmed minds into four different types which are intimidator, interrogator, aloof and poor-me.

Intimidators: This category includes violent people. They are violent consciously or unconsciously to gain energy from a person who is being scared by them.

Interrogators: This category includes people who ask too much of questions to gain attention. Author said that such people are the result of having aloof parents who are either very busy in their works or who are not very caring.

Aloof: This category behaves in an unfriendly and unpredictable manner to make a particular person more interested in them. For example, if I ask question to such a person then he or she will try to answer it incompletely or in such a way that will make me to inquire more. Aloof people are the result of having interrogating parents.

Poor-me: This category includes people who constantly makes other people feel guilty because of their present conditions. They keep on talking about their horrible pasts to gain sympathy of people. Intimidating parents result into being poor-me. If poor-me does not work for a person in gaining energy then person starts fighting aggression with aggression by being an intimidator.

The sixth insight deals with breaking all the conditioning and realizing yourself as a spiritual entity. Realizing that you are more than what your parents have taught you, continues the process of evolution. Otherwise, we all know that stagnated water produces bad smell.

Fifth Insight "The message from Mystics" The Celestine Prophecy

Fifth Insight "The message from Mystics" The Celestine Prophecy

It is recommended to read last four posts before going through this post to follow the proper sequence.

In the fourth insight, I talked about human struggle for power. Humans perceive till fourth insight that power is limited which makes them to fight with other humans for power. During the fifth insight, humans are going to realize that this power is unlimited and this vast universe is its source. Humans will stop sucking each others energy and will depend on the vast existence to remain full of energy.

The fifth insight talks about mystical experience that most of the humans are going to experience when they reach a particular point. Mystics have been talking about such experiences. Hence, the name "The message from Mystics" has been given to this insight. During this mystical experience, one is going to lose sense of his or her physical body but the whole universe itself becomes his or her body. He will not be able to distinguish himself from any other thing available in the existence. He will be flowers, trees, leaves, other humans or anything present in this vast existence. Now, what will be the point of struggling with others for power. You are universe. What else can be given to you? There is no further growth anymore. Whole energy available in the universe serve you. You become contented and fearless. It is the point when you realize clearly in one sense that you are not just a single physical body but you are infinite consciousness.

During the description of third insight in my last posts, I talked about my personal experience which I felt was close to third insight. I will explain here some portion of that experience again. Sometimes on any random day at any random time, I experience sense of complete silence within me. It only lasts for few seconds. During this experience, I am not able to distinguish between myself and a particular object I am looking at. We both become like a single entity. I think, it is not close to full mystical experience yet but it is a tiny fragment of that. I think that my personal experience is more close to the fifth insight than with the third insight.

Fourth Insight The Struggle for Power "The Celestine Prophecy"

Read my three previous posts before going through this post to follow the proper sequence.

The fourth insight deals with our struggle for power in this world. We can clearly see that humans are trying hard to dominate each other. We want to reach at higher designations. We want to earn lots of money so that we can hire people to work for us. We want to control others in different ways. It is the desire which operates at the sub-conscious level. The fourth insight is the identification of this greed for power and energy. This insight is directly attached with ego fights. As, soon as we stop fighting for this power with humans, people are going to be free from their egos which is the root cause of all pains and sufferings. But, the question arises that what this power and energy are in a fundamental way.

In the third insight, we talked about the existence of invisible energy which can nourish us. All the universe is made up of this invisible energy. We basically fight for this energy which can make us to feel better. Energy transfers from the person being dominated to the person who is dominating. A person who is dominating gets filled with energy and hence feels better.

When humans are going to realize about this fourth insight, they will realize about their individuality. They are going to realize that no other individual can be like them. They are utterly unique in this vast existence. At this point, there will be no point of struggle for power. Humans will be contented within themselves without any conflict. Humans will cease to fight for energy with other humans but eventually they will shift their focus towards some another source. It was not mentioned in the book about the source of this energy till the description of the fourth insight. I will explain this source of energy as soon as book starts talking about it in the next chapters.
