From Unconsciousness to Consciousness #14, 78 min.

"To remain in doubt needs tremendous courage."

Humanity is divided in three types of persons: Believers, atheists and agnostics. For Osho, this last type, the agnostic is far above the first two and it is something intrinsic to the true seeker. Nevertheless, there is a fourth type of person, one that does not fit in any of these categories: The Gnostic, the one who knows. Listening to his direct and simple style, we rediscover the courage to doubt while we move into the unknown.

Satyam Shivam Sundaram #29, 90 min.

"There was aday when hypnosis was a recognized door towards meditation."

In this fascinating talk, Osho points out that hypnosis was first condemned in the Middle Ages along with witchcraft, a condemnation that still lingers to this day. He then introduces his ‘trinity’ of Therapy, Hypnosis and Meditation. According to Osho therapy should dissolve into hypnosis, and hypnosis should dissolve into meditation.

"All that is needed is your availability."

Traditional religions have sold us the need for an intermediary between you and the divine, the priest, the rabbi and the like. Osho presents us with very clear insights regarding spiritual guidance by others. "Those who give guidance simply show that they are not masters at all." Osho goes so far to declare spiritual guidance bogus and invites us to take responsibility for who we are without compromise.

The Last Testament Vol 3, #16, 97 min.

"The whole Earth can become enlightened"

It is a tragedy that enlightenment is a concept that we might not be familiar with or that we might see as something bad or something for saints or for a very few exceptional people. Here Osho speaks about enlightenment as our birth right and about obstacles that keep us from achieving it: the ego and our own conditioning.

From Misery to Enlightenment #19, 111 min.

"Consciousness cannot have any destiny. Consciousness has freedom"

The greatest problem in the world today is our belief in a concept of humanity which allows us to avoid the reality of our individuality. We have been cheated with the idea that we are tied to a destiny, but consciousness is freedom and to awake our consciousness is to find the solution; to be reborn as a human being, an individual. In this talk Osho addresses with mastery, the question of man’s freedom as man’s highest value.

"Life is a creative Challenge..."

Has life any meaning? Osho in this talk analyzes in depth this eternal, life question, saying: "I am an existentialist. And I say to you that life is neither meaningful nor meaningless. The question is irrelevant. Life is just an opportunity, an opening. It depends what you make of it. It depends on you what meaning, what color, what song, what poetry, what dance you give to it."

The Golden Future #5, 90 min.

"The East has been working for thousands of years; its whole genius has been devoted to only one thing, and that is meditation."

Osho refers to meditation as golden moments of losing yourself into something vast. Here he comments on essential statements of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who Osho saw as a genius; who by mistake arrived at the wrong time in the wrong place. Nietzsche’s statements touch something from beyond the world of philosophy -- expressing a first experience of the mystical, the mysterious.

The Hidden Splendour #25, 107 min.

"Meditation is not a by-product of any technology. It does not need any technology. It doe not need anyhow. It simply needs now."

According to Osho something like ‘peace of mind’ has never existed. Peace of mind is intrinsically impossible. Peace can only happen when mind is not. In this beautiful response to a question about meditation and relaxation Osho shows us the whole drama of the mind – how we get identified with things which are simply not our reality. When there is only a watcher and nothing to watch, suddenly everything becomes calm and quiet.

"To know anything, you have to begin with yourself"

For Osho truth can be indicated but cannot be said; it can be only experienced in silence. “And truth is just within you. Truth needs no journey. It needs only a remembrance. To know anything we need to start by ourselves”. Osho, ever the contrarian, invites us to be selfish and to find our truth, our love, our compassion and to seek the answer to the greatest question, What is truth.

"Man goes on growing: Dogmas don't"

One of, if not the greatest fallacy spread by religion is that humanity needs to be saved. An original and unpredictable speaker Osho, through his answers to our questions, shows us the consequences that arise from this religious trap. At the same time, with immense mastery, touches of humor and using graphic examples from his own childhood, he offers us the opportunity to experience the way out - meditation - by simply listening to his words.

The Invitation #4, 100 min.

"You are surrounded by many hypnotic strategies developed by society down the ages. And those hypnotic strategies are the root cause of your ignorance, of your misery, of your unenlightened state."

You are in prison and you think you are free – a tremendously important statement by a contemporary mystic George Gurdjieff. Osho analyses the false freedom, which just gives you security, safety, and in exchange takes away your very being, your freedom, your joy, your dance. And once you recognize your prisons, it is not difficult to get out, because they are your own creations.

Rinzai: Master of the Irrational #3, 120 min.

"Zen does not want anybody to be a believer. Either experience or just go home. Except experience, no belief is going to help."

Commenting on statements by Zen Master Rinzai, Osho brings us into a direct experience of Zen and its tremendous effort to bring an authentic rebellion into the world – a rebellion against the past. In his provocative way Osho connects Rinzai with our contemporary reality – challenging old superstitions and belief systems – in favor of a very living tradition, Zen.

True education consists in not ‘helping’ our children but by letting them grow free, to develop natural talents and to reach an unknowable potential as unique and unrepeatable individuals: “Your concern should be to take away all the dangers, but not to interfere with the child; let them go their own way”, he says. In this talk, with his singular perspective, Osho analyzes the life of a human being, demonstrating amongst his other insights, that the first seven years have a powerful significance for a child’s growth.

Everybody interested in humanity and human beings is always wondering why there is so much violence amongst us. Osho shows that Man has immense capacity to love, has immense capacity to be compassionate - but he has to be awakened to realize this capacity. According to Osho, humanity has only one saving device available - meditation. In his vision every university can become a place, not only to teach you geography, history -- but to teach you something very essential: meditation, love, the art of living, the art of being human.

160 p., Paperback, with DVD included

Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind and there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Here, contemporary mystic Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories, showing that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them — a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis. Zen is for those intelligent enough to understand the limitations of the intellect and ready to recognize the significance of intuition in the world of mysticism.

Paperback, with DVD included

In this tenth volume of the popular Insights for a New Way of Living series, Osho examines the nature of compassion from a radically different perspective. He points out that “passion” lies at the root of the word, and then proceeds to challenge assumptions about what compassion really is. Many so-called acts of compassion, he says, are tainted by a subtle sense of self-importance and desire for recognition. Others are based in the desire not really to help others, but to force them to change. Using stories from the life of Jesus, Buddha, and the world of Zen, Osho shows how the path to authentic compassion arises from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself. Only then, says Osho, does compassion flower into a healing force, rooted in the unconditional acceptance of the other as he or she is. Compassion includes an original, 120 minute talk by Osho on DVD. This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source.

224 p., Paperback, with DVD included

Danger: Truth at Work goes to the heart of our most fundamental human issues. Why can’t we just live happily and be content? While we seem to have all the knowledge we need to solve our problems, we haven’t. In this timely book, Osho explains that religious conditioning has held us back. Each chapter covers a different aspect of this conditioning, and, in gentle but persuasive language, shows readers how to transcend it. Individual chapters cover such subjects as The Nuclear Family: The Imminent Meltdown; Pseudo-Religion: The Stick-on Soul; They Say Believe, I Say Explore; and Ecstasy Is Now: Why Wait? and others. The enclosed DVD gives a firsthand experience of the process of spiritual renewal, which Osho calls a "dry cleaning of the mind." While Osho passed away in 1990, he left a rich legacy of video recordings that form the basis of this important book and video.

About Fame, Fortune and Ambition

 “I want you to be rich in every possible way – material, psychological, spiritual. I want you to live the richest life that has ever been lived on the earth.” - Osho

Fame, Fortune, and Ambition examines the symptoms and psychology of preoccupations with money and celebrity. Where does greed come from? Do values like competitiveness and ambition have a place in bringing innovation and positive change? Why do celebrities and the wealthy seem to have so much influence in the world? Is it true that money can’t buy happiness? These questions are tackled with a perspective that is thought-provoking, surprising--and particularly relevant to our troubled economic times.

Timely and relevant to a society increasingly populated by people who depend on prescription drugs to get them through the day. Osho challenges us to look into the ways we so often create - and then cling to - our own unhappiness. And urges us to reconnect with the natural joy we were born with, and that is available to us the moment we turn our attention to the silent space within.

Paperback + DVD, 224 pages

Power, Politics, and Change takes on the conventional wisdom that “power corrupts” and proposes instead that those who seek power are already corrupt: Once they attain their goal, their corruption simply has the opportunity to express itself. That’s why even those who seek power in order to bring about radical change so often fail, despite their best intentions.
Osho looks at where this “will to power” comes from, how it expresses itself not only in political institutions, but in our everyday relationships. In the process, he offers a vision of relationships and society based not on power over others, but on a recognition of the uniqueness of every individual.
Power, Politics, and Change includes an original talk by Osho on DVD. This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source.

In this highly accessible introduction to Zen and its spiritual origins, Osho talks on the stories of Chinese mystic Chuang Tzu, revitalizing the 300-year-old Taoist message of self-realization. He speaks about the state of egolessness, or "the empty boat," spontaneity, dreams and wholeness, living life choicelessly, and meeting death with the same equanimity. This beautiful new edition overflows with the wisdom of one who has realized the state of egolessness himself.
