OHSO MYSTIC ROSE

DAL 11-07 AL 31-07 Villa Francis Corfù

Tre settimane di guarigione e trasformazione, un processo di 21 giorni per 3 ore al giorno.

Cari amici,

La Meditazione della Rosa Mistica è un processo dinamico di trasformazione unico che Osho ha creato per l’umanità contemporanea. Questo processo potente penetra l'essenza stessa della nostra energia attraverso le risate, le lacrime e la meditazione. La profondità e l'intensità che andremo a sperimentare nelle prime due settimane, risate e lacrime, ci porterà a rilasciare i blocchi di energia , le credenze negative e la repressione sociale, permettendoci di vivere una vita più libera, spontanea e gioiosa. I tre elementi le risate, le lacrime, e la meditazione si combinano per creare una Meditazione energetica e dinamica , un nuovo concetto che unisce l'approccio occidentale della terapia e la conoscenza orientale della meditazione, in un profondo processo di trasformazione personale. Durante le tre ore del gruppo non si potrà parlare ma ci saranno tanti momenti di condivisione che ti aiuteranno ad andare più in profondità nella comprensione di te stesso/a.

A Three Week Healing and Transformation Process for 21 days, three hours every day.

Dear Friends,

The Mystic Rose Meditation is a unique, dynamic and transformational process that Osho created for today’s humanity. This powerful process penetrates to the very core of our energy through laughter, tears, and Meditation. The depth and the intensity that we experience in the first two weeks, laughter and tears, release energy blocks, negative belief systems and repression thereby allowing us to live a more free, spontaneous and joyous life. The three elements of laughter, tears, and meditation combine to create a dynamic Meditative Therapy, a new concept combining the western approach of therapy and the eastern knowledge of meditation, a profound process for personal transformation. There is no talking during the three hours of the process, this is indeed a healing beyond works.

LA MEDITAZIONE DELLA ROSA MISTICA

Ho creato una terapia nuova, per quanti desiderano andare più a fondo. La prima parte di questa meditazione sarà la risata: si deve semplicemente ridere senza ragione, per tre ore. Scavando per tre ore. E quando le risate si smorzano, ripetete: “Yaa-Hu!”, torneranno.
Scavando per tre ore, rimarrete sorpresi di quanti strati di polvere si sono accumulati sopra il vostro essere. La risata li taglierà come un colpo di spada. E per sette giorni senza interruzioni, per tre ore al giorno… non potete immaginare che trasformazione avverrà nel vostro essere.
A quel punto viene la seconda parte: le lacrime. La prima parte rimuove tutto ciò che blocca in voi la risata; tutte le inibizioni frutto del passato dell’umanità, tutte le repressioni, vengono spazzate via,portando in voi una nuova dimensione.
Tuttavia, dovete scendere ancora qualche gradino per raggiungere il tempio del vostro essere, poiché avete represso tristezza, disperazione, ansie, lacrime in misura immensa. Esse sono li, vi ricoprono e distruggono la vostra bellezza, la vostra grazia, la vostra felicità.
Nei tempi antichi, in Mongolia, si credeva che qualsiasi sofferenza veniva repressa, in ogni vita… e il dolore viene represso, perché nessuno lo desidera.
Tu non vuoi soffrire, per ciò lo reprimi, lo eviti, volti il tuo sguardo altrove. Ma il dolore rimane.
E in Mongolia si credeva – e io sono pienamente d’accordo – che quel dolore si accumula dentro di te, vita dopo vita, fino a diventare una dura scorza fatta di sofferenza.
E se entri in te troverai sia la risata che le lacrime. Ecco perché, a volte accade che ridendo, all’improvviso ci si ritrovi a piangere. La presenza di risate e lacrime, confonde, perché di solito si pensa la cosa opposta: quando piangi non è tempo di ridere, e quando ridi non è la stagione giusta per le lacrime.
Ma l’esistenza non crede nei tuoi concetti, nelle ideologie; l’essenza trascende tutti i tuoi concetti, la realtà è dualistica, che si fonda sulla dualità. Giorno e notte, risate e lacrime, dolore e estasi, giungono sempre insieme.
Quando un uomo raggiunge il suo essere più intimo, scoprirà che il primo strato è composto da risate e il secondo di agonia, di lacrime.
Per cui dovete concedervi di piangere, senza motivo alcuno, per sette giorni, e le lacrime saranno pronte ad affiorare . siete voi che lo impedite, non fatelo!
E quando avete la sensazione che non arrivino, dovete solo dire: “Yaa- Buu!” Si tratta di suoni puri, utilizzati come una tecnica per far venire alla luce tutte le vostre risate e tutte le vostre lacrime, per ripulirvi completamente, in modo tale che possiate tornare a essere bambini innocenti.
Alla fine, la terza parte è essere testimoni, l’osservatore sulla collina. Finalmente, dopo la risata e le lacrime, esiste solo un silenzio testimoniante. Da sola, la testimonianza è una repressione automatica: quando sei un testimone, le lacrime si fermano, si assopiscono.
Questa meditazione porta in primo luogo a liberarsi dalla risata e dalle lacrime, in modo tale che nulla possa poi essere soppresso dal tuo osservare in quanto testimone. In questo caso l’osservazione si apre su un cielo limpido. E quindi, per sette giorni, sperimentate questa semplice chiarezza.
Questa è la mia meditazione più perfetta. E vi stupirà vedere come nessun’altra meditazione vi possa dare tanto quanto questa semplice strategia.
Questa è la mia esperienza, dedotta da molte tecniche: si devono spezzare quei due livelli dentro di te. Tu hai represso la risata; ti è stato detto: “ Non ridere, sono cose serie!” E non ti viene permesso ridere in chiesa, a scuola….
Quindi, il primo strato è formato dalle risate, ma quando questo si è sciolto, all’improvviso ti troverai travolto dalle lacrime, sarà un’agonia. Ma anche quello si rivelerà un fenomeno di sollievo immenso, ti sgraverai di un peso.
Scompariranno vite intere di dolore e sofferenza. E se riesci a liberarti da questi due strati, troverai te stesso.
Nelle parole “Yaa-Hu”, oppure “Yaa-Buu”, non esiste significato alcuno. Si tratta di semplici tecniche, di suoni che possono essere utilizzati per uno scopo particolare: per entrare nel tuo essere. Io ho ideato molte meditazioni, ma questa forse sarà la più essenziale e quella fondamentale: può trasformare il mondo intero…
Ogni società ha fatto un danno molto grosso, impedendovi di essere felici e di piangere. Se un vecchio si mette a piangere, lo redarguite: “cosa fai? Dovresti vergognarti; non sei un bambino, nessuno ti ha rubato la banana! Anche se fosse, prendine un’altra, ma non piangere”.
Osservalo: mettiti in mezzo alla strada e inizia a piangere. Si riunirà una folla a consolarti: “non piangere! Qualsiasi cosa sia accaduta, dimenticatela: è passata!” Nessuno sa cosa ti sia successo, nessuno ti può aiutare, ma tutti si sforzeranno di farti smettere di piangere. E il motivo è semplice: se continui a piangere, si metteranno a piangere anche loro, perché anch’essi sono sommersi di lacrime. E quelle lacrime si assiepano dietro i loro occhi.
Ed è segno di perfetta salute piangere, singhiozzare, ridere. Ora gli scienziati hanno scoperto che ridere e piangere sono segni di perfetta salute, non solo dal punto di vista fisico, ma anche da quello psicologico.
Sono elementi in grado di conservarti in perfetta salute. L’intera umanità è ammattita, in misura più o meno grave, per il semplice fatto che nessuno ride più di cuore. Siamo circondati da persone che salterebbero su:”Cosa fai? Sei forse un bambino? Alla tua età? Cosa penseranno i tuoi figli? Stai quieto!”
Se piangi e singhiozzi senza motivo, solo come esercizio, come meditazione…. Nessuno potrà crederci. Le lacrime non sono mai state accettate come una meditazione. Ed io vi dico che non solo sono una meditazione, sono anche un medicinale: la tua vista migliorerà, e così pure la tua visione interiore.
Io vi offro una tecnica essenziale, fresca, mai utilizzata.
E verrà diffusa nel mondo intero, non ci sono dubbi, perché i suoi effetti dimostreranno a tutti che quanti la praticano, ringiovaniscono, diventano più vivi, acquistano grazia e flessibilità; si diventa meno fanatici, più allegri, si è più disposti a celebrare.
Questo mondo non ha bisogno d’altro che di una ripulizia del cuore, lo si deve ripulire da tutte le inibizioni prodotte in passato. E la risata e le lacrime possono fare due cose: le lacrime vi libereranno da tutta l’agonia nascosta dentro di voi, e la risata libererà da ciò che ostacola la vostra estasi. E quando avrete compreso quest’arte, rimarrete immensamente sorpresi: perché nulla di tutto questo vi è stato detto finora?
Il motivo c’è: che nessuno ha voluto che l’umanità fosse fresca come una rosa, che ne avesse la fragranza e la bellezza.
E ho denominato questa serie di discorsi “La Rosa Mistica” in quanto essa rappresenta la crescita suprema dell’uomo: se un uomo si prende cura del seme che viene alla luce con lui, se gli dà il terreno adatto, la giusta atmosfera e le giuste vibrazioni, a germogliare, allora consegue quella crescita suprema, di cui la rosa mistica è il simbolo, allorché il tuo essere si apre a fioritura e dischiude tutti i suoi petali, sprigionando la sua fragranza meravigliosa.
“Yaa- Hu” è il mantra per ‘portare la tua rosa mistica nel centro del tuo essere, per dischiudere il centro e sprigionare la tua fragranza e la Rosa Mistica è la realizzazione del tuo essere interiore.

The Mystic Rose Meditation
Laughter, Tears, and Silence

This Osho Meditative Therapy has been described as the most important new meditation since the creation of Vipassana.
It has three steps. All are designed for a particular purpose: to bring out all the poison from your being that has been injected by every generation for centuries.
Laughter is the first step. One of the great writers, Norman Cousins, has just now written of his life long experiment: that if he laugh for twenty minutes without any reason, all his tension disappear. His consciousness grows, the dust disappear.
You will see it yourself, if you can laugh without any reason, you will see something repressed within you… From your very childhood you have been told not to laugh —“be serious” you have to come out of that repressive conditioning.
The second step is tears. Tears have been repressed even more deeply. It has been told to us that tears are a symptom of weakness—they are not. Tears can cleanse not only your eyes, but your heart too. They soften you, it is a biological strategy to keep you clean, to keep you unburdened. It is now a well-known fact that less women go mad than men. And the reason has been found to be that women can cry and weep more easily than man. Even to the small child it is said, “be a man, don’t cry like a woman!”
But if you look at the physiology of your body, you have the same glands full of tears whether you are man or a woman. It has been found that less women commit suicide than men. And of course, no woman in history has been the cause of founding violent religion, war, massacres. If the whole world can learn to cry and weep again it will be a tremendous transformation, metamorphosis.
The third step is silence. I have called it “the Watcher on the Hill” become as silent as if you are alone on top of an Himalayan peak, utterly silent and alone, just watching, listening… sensitive, but still.
Osho, this, this a thousand times this: the very essence of Zen, chapter 1
I have chosen one of my therapist to create a new meditative therapy. The first part will be “yaa.hoo!” for three hours, people simply laugh for no reason at all. And whenever their laughter starts dying they again say, “yaa-hoo!” and it will come back. Digging for three hours you will be surprised how many layers of dust have gathered upon your being. It will cut them like a sword, in one blow. For seven days continuously, three hours every day… you cannot conceive how much transformation can come to your being.
And then the second part is “yaa-boo!” the first part removes everything that hinders your laughter all the inhibitions of past humanity, all the repressions. It cuts them away. It brings a new space within you, but still you have to go a few steps more to reach the temple of your being, because you have suppressed so much sadness, so much despair, so much anxiety, so many tears – they are all there, covering you and destroying your beauty, your grace, your joy.
In old Mongolia they had an ancient idea that every life, whatever pain is suppressed… and pain is suppressed, because nobody wants it. You don’t want to be painful so you suppress it, you avoid, you look somewhere else. But it remains.
And the Mongolian idea was – and I agree with it – that life after life it goes on accumulating in you; it becomes almost a hard shell of pain. That’s why all the saints and the sages have been telling you, shouting – “go into yourself!” you listen to them, but you don’t go. There is a reason why you don’t go: you know that going in, you have to encounter pain; going in, you have to encounter misery, suffering, agony. Ti is better to remain outside – engaged, busy. Never be alone, it does not leave you unoccupied.
These are devices of your mind. There are people who are chewing gum. Now what a nonsense thing to do! – chewing gum? Are you sane or insane? Can’t you chew anything else? No sane person can do this unnecessary exercise of chewing gum. But it helps just one thing: you don’t come across yourself. There is too much pain.
So you can listen to the sages, to the awakened ones, and you can nod – “you are right, but my time has not come yet. Please forgive me; I have still to chew gum, I have still to smoke cigarettes. You are grate, you can drop these things. We are small people, how we can drop cigarettes and chewing gum?”
Just see the stupidity of it all. But behind the stupidity there must be some psychology and the psychology is: anything that helps you to avoid yourself becomes useful. Football match, volleyball, boxing.. somebody else doing it, you are just looking, but that looking takes you away from your own inside.
If you go in you will find both, laughter and tears. That’s why sometimes it happens that by laughing, suddenly you find tears also start coming together with it – very confusing, because ordinarily we think they are contrary. When you are full of tears it is not a time to laugh, or when you are laughing it is not the right season for tears. But existence does not believe in your concepts, ideologies. Existence transcends all your concepts, which are based on duality. Day and night, laughter and tears, pain and blissfulness, they both come together.
When a man reaches into his innermost being he will find the firs layer is of laughter and the second layer is of agony, tears.
So for seven days you have to allow yourself to weep, cry, for no reason at all – just the tears are ready to come. You have been preventing them. Just don’t prevent, and whenever you feel they are not coming, just say, “yaa-boo!”
These are pure sounds, used as a technique to bring all your laughter and tears and clean you completely, so that you can become an innocent child.
This is absolutely my meditation.
You will be surprise that no meditation can give so much as this small strategy. This is my experience of many meditations, that what has to be done is to break two layers in you. Your laughter, but once laughter is over you will suddenly find yourself flooded with tears, agony. But that too will be a great unburdening phenomenon. Many lives of pain and suffering will disappear. If you can get rid of these two layers you have found yourself.
Maneesha, there is no meaning in the words, “Yaa-Hoo! Or Yaa-Boo!”. These are simply techniques, sound which can be used for a certain purpose to enter into your own being.
And you may have felt it – when you shout, “yaa-hoo!” you may have felt a sudden breeze of freshness and joy.
I don’t want so many meditations, but perhaps this will be the most essential and fundamental one. It can take over the whole world. Already from every country news cutting are coming to me – “what is this Yaa-Hoo!?” people are making up meanings of their own, but it has taken over around the world. Now the second thing is Yaa-Boo! And the whole process of yaa-hoo and yaa-boo, the couple, married… arranged marriage!
Every society has done so much harm by preventing your joys and your tears. If an old man starts crying you will say “what are you doing? You should feel ashamed; you are not a child, that somebody has taken your banana and you are crying. Have another banana, but don’t cry.”
Just see – stand on the street and start crying and a crowd will gather to console you: “ don’t cry!” and the reason is that if you go on crying, then they will start crying, because they are also flooded with…
Those tears are very close to the eyes.
And it is a healthy thing to cry, to weep, to laugh. Now scientists are discovering that crying, weeping, laughter, are immensely healthful; not only physically but also psychologically, they are very much capable of keeping you sane. The whole of humanity has gone a little cuckoo, for the simple reason that nobody laugh fully because all around there are people who will say “ what are you doing? Are you a child? – at this age? What will your children think? Keep quiet!”
If you cry and weep without any reason, just as an exercise, a meditation… nobody will believe it. Tears have never been accepted as meditation. And I tell you they are not only a meditation, they are a medicine also. You will have better eyesight and you will have better inner vision.
I am giving you a very fundamental technique, fresh and unused. And it is going to become worldwide, without any doubt, because its effects will show anybody that the person has become younger, the person has become more loving, the person has become graceful. The person has become more flexible, less fanatic;; the person has become more joyful, more a celebrant.
All that this world needs is good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. Laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised: why has this not been told up to now? There is a reason: nobody has wanted humanity to have the freshness of a rose flower and the fragrance and the beauty.
I have called this series of lectures The Mystic Rose “ yaa-hoo!” is the mantra to bring the mystic rose in your center, to open your center and release your fragrance. You life becomes for the first time significant, not just useful. Right now it is only useful – you are a father, useful. Without you want will your children do? You are mother, useful; you are a wife, useful – without you what will your husband do? He may go astray.
He is already going astray, so you have to hang around! If the husband is too joyous the wife cannot believe that is joyful because of her. There must be some other woman: “just tell us, what is her name? who is the other woman? Why are you laughing!?”
The husband cannot cry, because the wife will say, “what is the matter? I have been telling you continually, these love affairs won’t do. Has the woman gone, leaving you behind crying and weeping?”
Two old people appeared in to the court, husband and wife – the husband was ninety-five years old, the wife ninety years old, and they wanted a divorce. The magistrate could not believe it he said, “ my god, at this age! For what? How long have you been married?” they said, “who remembers? Maybe sixty year, seventy years, but we cannot give you a certain date. It was long before.” The magistrate said, “if you have lived together so long that you can even remember when you started living together, then why are you divorcing now? If life was not good, and things were not going well, you should have appeared before the court long ago!” the old man said “we wanted to come, but the children… now all the children are dead, so we decided there is no point in torturing each other. Now should get a divorce: you torture somebody else if you can find anybody; I will torture somebody else if I can find. Otherwise we can be alone far better than we are together. Together we become so sad that this woman destroyed my life or this man destroyed my life.
People marry not because of love – love knows no marriage, because love will not create any contract. It is not business. Love knows no marriage because it is not business, it is not law. It won’t reduce the freedom of the other. If anything, it will increase and enhance the freedom of the other. Love cannot cut the wings of the other. It will give you more wings, more skies, vast spice to fly and to be.
But that does not happen. Marriage is utility. It is a need, it is not a celebration. Everything in life has become so mundane, so burdensome, but you don’t know what else to do, where to go. Everybody is suffering his own suffering. You cannot change place. Even if it were possible to change places you would not change, because our own misery is at least ours and we are well acquainted.
At a party one man was asked by his wife, “ I hear that the woman sitting over there is your mistress?” the man did not want to create a fuss in the party, so he whispered; he said, “yes, everybody has mistresses here, so don’t make any trouble” she said, “then tell me who is whose mistress?” so he told her: “this man has that mistress, and his wife is somebody else’s mistress. Things are so puzzled…” he told her about everybody. The same women, the same men, but all have mistresses, all have wives. The woman looked at all of them and finally said, “but ours is the best.” Her husband’s mistress! It was an agony, but OURS..!” others are being more idiotic – these horrible women… I know all of them.” Even the agony, the pain becomes by and by an acquaintance, old and familiar. You cannot part with it , you will miss it. I have seen people missing their wives, just after two or three days when the wife has gone to her parents. For two or three days they are so joyful, but the fourth day they start missing the wife. And I have said to my friend, “you always wanted to get rid of your wife. It is good that she is prolonging her holiday – enjoy!”
And what have I heard from my friends? “Yes, it is true, when she is here I feel like killing her. But when she goes somewhere else I feel so alone, that I go on writing letters and sending telegrams and every day a phone call – “come back soon; without you, life is not life” strange people! And when she comes then want to kill her. They don’t kill, just because they know it is very risky. If there were rewards for killing wives, I don’t think you would find anybody who would not participate in the competition. Afterwards they will cyr an weep and they will remember the golden days, but right now it is a nightmare.
The whole of life has become just a utility: either you are an inspector, or you are a police commissioner, or you are a minister, or you are a teacher – just a function which any robot can do.
The only thing that the robot cannot do is meditation. In other words, I am saying that those who are not in meditation are being robots, without being aware that they are just utilities, functions, they are needed.
But a man of meditation for the first time realizes that it does not matter whether he is needed or not – he himself is a joy unto himself. He himself is bliss, he does not depend on anybody to make him blissful. That is the only freedom possible in the world. Otherwise everybody is a slave.
L would like people to understand it absolutely that unless you become blissful on your accord, unless your rose opens within your being, you are just a commodity, just a thing, an object. Meditation reveals your subjectivity. Subjectivity is your consciousness, and your consciousness and its experience make your life significant, meaningful, eternal, immortal, without any beginning and without any end. A celebration, moment-to-moment a dance.
And unless you have transformed your life into a moment-to-moment dance you have missed the opportunity that existence give you.
