Totdat iemand zich helemaal losgemaakt heeft van het idee: "ik ben", is er nog iets gebeurd. Je bent alleen van kleur veranderd. Je bent een kameleon, je bent gewoon van kleur veranderd. Maar alleen de kleur is veranderd, jij niet.' – Osho

'Het gaat dus over wat er is in die "gaps",
het gaat over het bubbelgevoel,
het gaat over overgave,
het gaat over het intense gevoel van genieten,
het gaat over dat wat werkelijk is

En dat wat je werkelijk bent.

The mind, says Osho, has the potential to be enormously creative in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and the problems of the world in which we live. The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives. Its ambitions, belief systems, and interpretations rule our days and our nights—bringing us into conflict with minds that are different from ours, keeping us awake at night rehashing those conflicts or planning the conflicts of tomorrow, and disturbing our sleep and our dreams.

If only there was a way to switch it off and give it a rest! Finding the switch that can silence the mind—not by force or performing some exotic ritual, but through understanding, watchfulness, and a healthy sense of humor—is meditation. A sharper, more relaxed and creative mind—one that can function at the peak of its unique intelligence—is the potential.

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.

In Joy, Osho posits that to be joyful is the basic nature of life. Joy is the spiritual dimension of happiness, in which one begins to understand one's intrinsic value and place in the universe. Accepting joy is a decision to "go with the flow," to be grateful to be alive and for all the challenges and opportunities in life, rather than setting conditions or demands for happiness.

The Insight for a New Way of Living series aims to shine light on beliefs and attitudes that prevent individuals from being their true selves. The text is an artful mix of compassion and humor, and readers are encouraged to confront what they would most like to avoid, which in turns provides the key to true insight and power.

Joy is a wondrous investigation into the source and importance of joyfulness in our lives.

In this comprehensive and practical guide, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience for the first time. 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.

August 1986 - after a world tour in which twenty-two countries had either deported him or denied him entry, Osho Rajneesh returned to India, and began giving nightly talks in the living room of a Bombay disciple's home. People gathered from all over the world to be with him, even though they might have to wait for days to take their turn in the small space available for the discourses. Nobody knew what the future would bring, but for now, it was a joyous reunion.  The excerpts in this book were taken from that period of Osho's work, before he eventually settled at Rajneeshdham in nearby Poona. It is a rare glimpse into the world of those who have undertaken the inner search, in the company of the most talked-about and extraordinary enlightened mystic all the time.

An indispensable work for understanding the life and teachings of one of the most unusual mystics and philosophers of our time.Ten years have past since, in the words of his attending physician, Osho prepared for his departure from the body that had served him for fifty-nine years "as calmly as though he were packing for a weekend in the country." This volume is recognition that the time has come to provide a historical and biographical context for understanding Osho and his work. Who was this man, known as the Sex Guru, the "self-appointed bhagwan" (Rajneesh), the Rolls-Royce Guru, the Rich Man's Guru, and simply the Master?Drawn from nearly five thousand hours of Osho's recorded talks, this is the story of his youth and education, his life as a professor of philosophy and years of travel teaching the importance of meditation, and the true legacy he sought to leave behind: a religionless religion centered on individual awareness and responsibility and the teaching of "Zorba the Buddha," a celebration of the whole human being.

The author, George Meredith, has been the personal physician of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh for the past nine years. A graduate of St. Thomas Hospital, London, and a member of the Royal College of Physicians, Dr. Meredith met Bhagwan in 1976, became a disciple a year later and moved into the Shree Rajneesh Ashram in Poona, India.

Dr. Meredith accompanied the famous mystic to America in 1981, caring for him during the four years at Rajneeshpuram - the commune in Oragon, USA. During that time Dr. Meredith was the target of a murder attempt. In 1986 he was one of the small party who accompanied Bhagwan on his extraordinary world tour.
In this, the first of three volumes, the author examines the widely accepted sensationalistic perspective of life around Bhagwan: What part did love, sex, violence, drugs, psychotherapy, conspiracy and betrayal really play in the the drama of those early Poona days?

This entertaining and easy-to-understand books looks at the connection between your mind and your health, examining whether meditation can help one enjoy a better health and sense of well-being.

The last morning star symbolizes all that is ephemeral in this world. Talking on the playful and provocative poetry of Daya, Osho takes us on a journey from the transient, from our world outside, to the eternal, our boundless world within. This is the journey of the heart - the joyous, spontaneous, and at times uncompromising way of an enlightened woman mystic. 'Bear this in mind. When the dissatisfaction you have with thins is turned inwards and the contentment that you have towards the inner is turned outwards, you have already become a religious person. You only have to make this small change.' - Osho
