This is from Osho… whoever the heck that is. Best I can find out is he seems to be or have been, some Indian godman guru.
According to this he is: Rajneesh, also known as Acharya Rajneesh, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and later as Osho, was an Indian godman, mystic, and founder of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime, he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
You know one of those super duper thinkers that actually thinks he’s got it all figured out and people believe his blabbering, and the kind that dies and actually finds out he wasn’t god after all.
Anyway I ran across this today and wanted to share. He really does make some great points about the effect of fear and how it can basically dumb down your mind. That being said, read and take it for whatever you think.
Osho was asked about this about 40 years ago when aids was spreading… ′′
You’re asking the wrong question Osho answered – The right question should be: HOW TO AVOID THE FEAR OF DEATH, CAUSED EPIDEMIC?
It’s very easy to avoid a virus, but it’s very difficult to avoid fear in you and the world. People will die more of fear than of the epidemic.
No virus in this world is more dangerous than FEAR. Understand this fear, otherwise you will become a dead body before your body dies. Nothing to do with the virus.
The scary atmosphere you feel in these moments is collective madness. This has happened thousands of times and will continue to happen. And it will last if you don’t understand CROWD AND FEAR PSYCHOLOGY.
You usually hold back fear, but in a moment of collective madness, your consciousness can be completely lost. You won’t even know when you lost control of your fear.
Then fear can make you do anything. Be careful. Don’t watch news that causes fear. Stop talking about the epidemic, repeating the same thing over and over again is like auto-hypnosis.
FEAR IS THE TYPE OF AUTOHIPNOSIS. It causes chemical changes in the body. And when you say it over and over, then a chemical change is triggered, which can sometimes be so toxic that it can kill you.
During the epidemic, energy around the world becomes irrational. This way you can fall into a black hole anytime.
Meditation then becomes a protective aura that NO negative energy can penetrate.
