I have also been utterly inspired by Osho's teaching and it's congruence with the Material. There is however something that doesn't yet make sense to me. Osho teaches that above love there is emptiness, and that is our destiny. A very Buddhist teaching.
A follower of his, Vedanta, recently described how she met him for the first time and experienced what she likened to death. All of her cells felt like they were exploding. She saw pure emptiness in him, not a man. It changed the course of her life.
How do you view this emptiness? Is this the goal we getting closer to achieve by removing our distortions?
I highly disagree with calling it emptiness. It's a state beyond circumstantial reference. The distortion (s), that effect other self's no longer have effect on you. Imagine coming into your true identity. Knowing you are immortal, immutable,and all that exist(s).
The factors that once drove you, no longer have bearing. Essentially how you view everything is changed. I find a lot of teachers corresponding this state as emptiness. To me it's our True Identity.
Eventually this state always finds us. The way we set all this up, is to prolongate the exploration of manyness. Do not fret, or worry. This state is unavoidable. Many things that can be viewed as malicious and malignant, is actually steps we intiated, as I said before. To prolong this state and further this/these experiences.
Find your anchor, what you enjoy andskip merrily merrily on your way. Rejoice in the power and peace of Oneness.
