Osho on Knowledge and Knowing

ASCENDING TO THE HIGH SEAT, DOGEN ZENJI SAID: "ZEN MASTER HOGEN STUDIED WITH KEISHIN ZENJI.
ONCE KEISHIN ZENJI ASKED HIM, JOZA, WHERE DO YOU GO?"
HOGEN SAID. "I AM MAKING PILGRIMAGE AIMLESSLY."
KEISHIN SAID, "WHAT IS THE MATTER OF YOUR PILGRIMAGE?"
HOGEN SAID, "I DON"T KNOW."
KEISHIN SAID, "NOT KNOWING IS THE MOST INTIMATE."
HOGEN SUDDENLY ATTAINED GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT."
ZEN IS JUST ZEN. There is nothing comparable to it. It is unique -- unique in the sense that it is the most ordinary and yet the most extraordinary phenomenon that has happened to human consciousness. It is the most ordinary because it does not believe in knowledge, it does not believe in mind. It is not a philosophy, not a religion either. It is the acceptance of the ordinary existence with a total heart, with one"s total being, not desiring some other world, supra-mundane, supra-mental.

Osho: The art of walking the tightrope

In this series of Osho talks he examines stories from different ancient cultures. This is an excellent companion to what I teach. Enjoy!



ONCE, WHEN THE HASIDIM WERE SEATED TOGETHER
IN ALL BROTHERLINESS,
PIPE IN HAND, RABBI ISRAEL JOINED THEM.
BECAUSE HE WAS SO FRIENDLY THEY ASKED HIM,
"TELL US, DEAR RABBI, HOW SHOULD WE SERVE GOD?"



HE WAS SURPRISED AT THE QUESTION,
AND REPLIED, "HOW SHOULD I KNOW?"

BUT THEN HE WENT ON TO TELL THEM THIS STORY..
THERE WERE TWO FRIENDS OF THE KING,
AND BOTH WERE PROVED GUILTY OF A CRIME.

SINCE HE LOVED THEM THE KING WANTED TO SHOW THEM MERCY,
BUT HE COULD NOT ACQUIT THEM BECAUSE EVEN A KING"S WORD
CANNOT PREVAIL OVER THE LAW.

Your soul correction and commitment: What is the connection?

As I have said before, soul correction is a set of character defects, specific to your soul correction, that you need to overcome in a lifetime.

Track record through written history shows, that unless someone has guidance, expert guidance, they will not overcome the character defects: it is as if the character defect protects itself.

An Atlantic article: What does ISIS really want?

What ISIS Really Wants
from the Atlantic

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here"s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.

What is the Islamic State?


Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State"s appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda"s "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.

As promised: what is vibration? What does the vibration number measure?

I promised in my email... and here it is: my current understanding of the vibrational number

Dr. David Hawkins, whose vibrational or consciousness table I have been using to explain what the numbers I give you when I measure your vibration, thought that your emotional state correlates closely and well with your level of consciousness.

Instead of arguing that... what is there to argue?

You feel the way you feel.

On the other hand, if you look at those emotional states, it could be said that they hide, hide well, beingness states.

After the DNA capacity activated: what is it like?

Some unexpected fallouts and insights from activating the newly discovered DNA capacity to all those people...

Suddenly this client thinks, for the first time, to ask how to speak to her mother in law who goes to her house, picks up her ironing and cleans her house...

Here is the whole conversation... this is an issue that SHOULD come up for everyone, because the idea of being interested in how a communication lands is one of those things, being able to see the consequences of your action. Communication is action!

So here is the email conversation where I teach her how to 1. be appreciative 2. be kind 3. be effective without forcing, without blaming, without making the other person defensive, and yet have a good chance to have the result you want... eventually.

Okay I am taking the courage to e mail what came up today. Perhaps it is as a result of the activation.

I came home to find my mother in law had been in our house and had taken it upon herself to take my ironing with her and do cleaning in the house.

While some would like this it is different for me.

I find it an intrusion of my space and boundaries. Of course I am mad and want to tell her to stop but fear the consequences. The ego comes up saying leave it alone your only making a big deal out of nothing.

Is this coming up for me to move through the fear of saying what I want to say?

I really would appreciate your insight.

Many thanks

it IS coming up because of the activator.

but you are still stuck with the binary option... yell at her/say nothing.

I had something like this happen to me this morning, and I saw that there is a third option: gently suggesting. so I did. it wasn"t as smooth as I thought it was going to be, but it wasn"t hurtful either.

consider that your mother in law is best for you if she isn"t offended...

My issue was with my chiropractor, and instead of telling him how bad the last session was, I suggested this: Maybe we could try this...

So what can you tell your mother in law with a maybe? Maybe next time she could ask if it"s ok? Maybe she could help with something you do need help with?

The question is: are you willing to be generous of heart?

Thank you,
Sophie

Okay well what I really want to say is that I will ask for help if I need it but I don"t want her coming into my space unless I ask her to. It is a privacy thing and I want my own space and for her to repect that . I feel this really important for me.

It is how to say it without offending is the issue but that it won"t keep happening.

When you say are you willing to be generous of heart is do you mean that with her in this issue?

Thanks

What is your self-image? Are self-image questions, personality profiles, Kolbe test give you a correct answer?

There is a fundamental built-in error in tests that involve answering questions about ourselves.

I have found that personality tests that rely on your knowing yourself and to predict what you would do in certain situations, are profoundly flawed. ((Some tests I have an experience with: Kolbe test
Hartman value profile
other personality tests your coaches create. ))

I say this after working with thousands of people, one-on-one, observing them, feeling them (I am an empath) and comparing who and how they are compared to what they say about themselves.

The gap is significant between the two.

You believe yourself different, and you fill out your questionnaire. But your actions will still be consistent with who you really are, how you really behave, your real attitude, your real self, and you"ll be way off in your test results... ((And your coach will be way off... if they even look at it your profile at all))

You"ll be like the mad hero, Don Quixote, who lived in a world of his own design, unaware that he was out of sync, and that his actions were mad in the real world. ((Today"s equivalent is the religious person, or the Law of Attraction person, the conspiracy theorist person etc... duped, mistaken, fighting windmills))

The Work: Understanding vs. Seeing

Some of you do the work: you know who you are.

The most frequent issue that comes through to me in email is trying to understand.

But there is an issue with that.

The Thinking Man, i.e. the Man of the Mind, thinks about it, tries to understand.

Why is it harmful for you to search for information on the internet?

Knowledge is power. But knowledge is different from information.

Information is someone"s opinion, someone"s take on something... totally unreliable. It depends on the person"s world view (sheep or individual), and intentions. Looking your organs that look outward you can only see what can be seen... not even one layer below... You see what they want you to see.

If you have no core, if you have no substance, every opinion, also called information. will sway you... will blow you around like wind blows dry leaves in the fall.

Not all complaints are created equal plus a funny story to wake you up

This article may be the most important article you"ll ever read... This is not an exaggeration. Any day is a good day to wake up, but around these weeks of greed and herdlike stomping to get more stuff, it is especially a good time. So, as you understand, this is a wake up article...



We all say we hate complainers. And we all complain.

But is there any form of complaint that is not a downer, that is not a racket, that is a good thing?

I like to watch entire series of television shows on Netflix. If I don"t like it, I just start another one. No commercials, no TV needed, easy.

I watched Foyle"s War, a British series, and I was encouraged: well written, well played. So I started to watch a Swedish series, Wallander. Five stars... must be good.

The Edison of Transformation

From time to time I need to re-invent myself. Why? Because I get a "message" from beyond that, in a way, demands that I do some work and re-invent myself.

How do these messages come?

For the past year all the messages come in dreams. Nightmares, to be exact. It takes me, for the most part, quite a few repetitions to get that there is a message.

When you don"t know what you are about, you are lost

One commonality among my many readers is that they don"t feel well. That they are plagued with too much activity in the mind, that they listen from their minds, and that they have negative emotions that they resist, avoid, run from, urges they succumb to. They are in forceful resistance mode.

The doubly whammy ((dou·ble wham·my noun informal
noun: double whammy; plural noun: double whammies

a twofold blow or setback.))
Not surprisingly, with this resistance mode comes another commonality: they don"t know what they are about, they don"t know where they want to take their lives.

Why? Because you can"t resist something with all your might and keep in view, at the same time, a place you are going to. They are mutually exclusive.

NEW: What is consciousness, really?

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/self-defense.jpg
I am here, waiting for the cable man to fix my internet. It"s been down since yesterday afternoon.

It is hard to remember what we did with our lives before the internet... for me it"s been 18 years. It is hard to figure out what I can do that does not involve the internet... Finally I settle on writing, editing, and such.

It"s 11:30 am. The repairman was scheduled to be here at 11. I am sitting here, uncharacteristically anxious, contemplating that the man won"t even show up, that he will lie, that I will have to be another day without the ability to work.

It"s excruciatingly painful. I am diligently making room for the bad feelings, including them, breathing normally. Then I have a suspicion: is this mine? I normally don"t get anxious: I take life as it comes.

Turns out I tuned into the repairman: it"s his anxiety. Hm.
