Osho – författare

In this comprehensive and practical guide, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience. Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience. As Osho shows in these pages, it is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra—the very word means “technique”—is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily lives.Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

När livet tycks vara fullt av tvivel och osäkerhet söker vi ofta en källa till inspiration: Vad händer om jag fattar beslut om det här, men inte om det där? Det är så man traditionellt har använt tarot, att få svar på frågor om det förflutna och framtiden. I den här leken, Osho Zen Tarot, är fokus istället lagt på själva förståelsen av nuet. Det är ett system som bygger på visdomen inom zen, en visdom som lär oss att händelser i det yttre helt enkelt speglar våra egna tankar och känslor, även om vi inte alltid själva förstår dessa.

Boxen innehåller 79 kort och en bok med tolkningar.

This is the smaller 'deck or pocket' edition of this title. The traditional tarot is often used to satisfy a longing to know about the past and future. What about my health, the children? What will happen if I make this decision and not that one? This Osho Zen Tarot focuses instead on gaining an understanding of the here and now. It is a system based on the wisdom of Zen, a wisdom that says events in the outer world simply reflect in the outer world simply reflect our own thoughts and feelings, even though we ourselves might be unclear about what those thoughts and feelings are. So it helps us to turn our attention away from outside events so we can find a new clarity of understanding in our innermost hearts. The conditions and states of mind portrayed by the contemporary images on the cards are all shown as being essentially transitional and transformative.

The tradition of Tantra or Tantric Buddhism is known to have existed in India as early as the 5th century AD. In this book Osho talks about the mystical insight of Tantra that is to be found in these ancient writings.  Mining these ancient Tantric writings and meditation practices Osho illuminates such concepts as the nature of darkness and light, the paradoxical wisdom of the "pathless path," and reverance for the body as a bridge to the divine.  No matter how complex, esoteric, or obscure the subject, Osho always examines it from a uniquely refreshing perspective - he uses time honoured traditions as a hook to bring timeless truths to the widest possible audience with irreverent wit and thought-provoking inspiration.

Awareness: Everyone has experienced moments of awakening when time seems to stop and you are suddenly aware of every movement, every sound, every thought. Awareness, says Osho, is the key to being self-directed, centred and free in every aspect of our lives. In this book, Osho teaches how to live life more attentively, mindfully and meditatively, with love, caring and consciousness.

Osho discusses where fears originate, how to understand them and how to find the courage to face them. The change in our lives that can cause fear is actually a cause for celebration. Rather than clinging to the familiar, we can learn to see new situations as opportunities for adventure.

INTIMACY: "Hit-and-run" relationships are common in a society that has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing - a quality of intimacy. In this gentle and compassionate guide Osho takes the reader step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openess and trust.

The model of the traditional family is breaking down, children barely into their teens are experimenting with sex, and half of all marriages in developed countries end in divorce. In LOVE, FREEDOM AND ALONENESS, Osho explains why these phenomena are happening and how they can actually be viewed as a cause for celebration rather than worry. In a post-ideological world, where all the old moralities are clearly out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. Literally starting fresh with ourselves and our relationships to others, and defining fulfillment and success for the individual and for society means understanding the new realities of our basic condition. Until we learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we will deny ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else. This book is a provocation and a guide for that fresh start.

What survives of yoga today are mostly the physical exercises that have helped people to achieve a more relaxed and balanced state in their lives. But in fact, as Osho explains in this book, the postures did not come first, rather, people began to notice that whenever they were in a state of meditation, the body naturally took on certain postures. Because body and mind are so intimately connected, it is possible to bring a certain peace to the mind by arranging the body in a posture that corresponds to this peace. But it's a misunderstanding to think that it's the cart that pulls the horse. Drawing from yoga's original teachings, Osho clarifies this mind-body relationship and reveals yoga to be not only a set of physical exercises but what he calls a "science of the soul".

A respected Indian authority on sex presents his theory that pure sex is equivalent to the human life force and deconstructs societal layers of sexual repression and guilt to explain how people can restore sexual functioning to a state of healthy sensuality and self-discovery.

"Innocence, Knowledge and Wonder" looks to each person's last state of innocence - childhood - to recover the capacity to approach life with a sense of wonder and spontaneous joy, rather than with the cynicism and sense of hopelessness that afflict so many adults. Every religion contains the idea of returning to paradise, to the simplicity we once knew.

Man is a bridge, says Osho, between the animal and the divine - and our awareness of this dual aspect of our nature is what makes us human. It is also what makes us restless, full of conflict, so often at the crossroads of selfishness and generosity, of love and hate, frailty and strength, hope and despair. "The Journey of Being Human" looks into how we might embrace and accept these apparent contradictions, rather than try to choose between them, as the key to transforming each twist and turn of life's journey into a new discovery of who we are meant to be.

In "Belief, Doubt, and Fanaticism", Osho brings his unique and often surprising perspective to the religious, political, social and economic forces that drive people into opposing camps, fanatical groups, and belief systems that depend on seeing every "other" as the "enemy." As always, the focus is first and foremost on the individual psyche and consciousness, to identify the root causes and hidden demons of our human need to belong and have something to "believe in."
