Where is our innocence to be found?

From  Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself by Osho

But you have to begin from being innocent. So first, throw out all crap that you are carrying—and everybody is carrying so much crap! One wonders, for what? Just because people have been telling you that these are great ideas, principles … 

You have not been intelligent with yourself. Be intelligent with yourself. Life is very simple, it is a joyful dance. And the whole earth can be full of joy and dance, but there are people who are seriously vested in their interest that nobody should enjoy life, that nobody should smile, that nobody should laugh, that life is a sin, that it is a punishment. How can you enjoy life when the climate is such that you have been told continually that it is a punishment, that you are suffering because you have done wrong things, and it is a kind of jail where you have been thrown to suffer?

 I say to you life is not a jail, it is not a punishment. It is a reward, and it is given only to those who have earned it, who deserve it. 

Now it is your right to enjoy; it will be a sin if you don’t enjoy. It will be against existence if you don’t beautify it, if you leave it just as you have found it. No, leave it a little happier, a little more beautiful, a little more fragrant. P .xxi

The basic question for homo sapiens from a metaphysical perspective is: Were you born with original sin or original blessing?

The Judeo-Christian teaching is that human beings were guilty of original sin and therefore doomed to suffer. People are taught that life is a punishment and can only be redeemed with the help of religion and clergy, ritual and sacrifice, and suffering. This metaphysical teaching is deeply ingrained in  the human psyche and gives rise to hypocrisy, cynicism, fear, and suffering.

This idea of original sin leads to the two basic human dynamics of separation and divisiveness which is “one or the other” and “give to get.” The idea of Unconditional Love, God, has been forgotten which we have been told repeatedly over the centuries by the mystics is our natural inheritance.

And so the most fundamental question of all is: Are human beings basically good or bad? Are human beings cursed or blessed?

The ego offers us all kinds of temptations promising to make us happy: money, special relationships, power, status and prestige. In the end we come to realize that all these promises are false. We come to realize that we don’t need any of these things of the ego world to be happy. The life we have been socialized and conditioned to believe will make us happy is all a Big Lie.

Osho teaches us that we have to throw all the crap of the Big Lie out. We have to reclaim our innocence which resides in merging with the non dualistic Oneness from which we have separated ourselves.

We long to go home to that from which we came. That’s where our innocence is to be found.

The Spiritual Life, Topic Twelve, Death is a celebration of thanksgiving

The Spiritual Life - Topic Twelve

Death is a celebration of thanksgiving

Make everything creative, make the best out of the worst—that’s what I call the art of living. And if a man has lived his whole life making every moment and every phase of it a beauty, a love, a joy, naturally his death is going to be the ultimate peak of his whole life’s endeavor. The last touches … his death is not going to be ugly as it ordinarily happens every day to everyone. If death is ugly, that means your whole life has been a waste. Death should be a peaceful acceptance, a loving entry into the unknown, a joyful good-bye to old friends, to the old world. There should not be any tragedy in it. .pxx


One Zen Master, Lin Chi, was dying. Thousands of his disciples had gathered to listen to the last sermon, but Lin Chi was simply lying down—joyous, smiling, but not saying a single word. 

Seeing that he was going to die and he was not saying a single word, somebody reminded Lin Chi—an old friend, a Master in his own right; he was not a disciple of Lin Chi, that’s why he could say to him—“Lin Chi, have you forgotten that you have to say your last words? I have always said your memory isn’t right. You are dying … have you forgotten?” 

Lin Chi said, “Just listen.” And on the roof two squirrels were running, screeching. 

And he said, “How beautiful,” and he died. 

For a moment, when he said “Just listen,” there was absolute silence. Everybody thought he was going to say something great, but only two squirrels fighting, screeching, running on the roof … . And he smiled and he died. 

But he has given his last message: don’t make things small and big, trivial and important. Everything is important. 

At this moment, Lin Chi’s death is as important as the two squirrels running on the roof, there is no difference. In existence it is all the same. That was his whole philosophy, his whole life’s teaching—that there is nothing that is great and there is nothing that is small; it all depends on you, what you make out of it. p.xx

Osho teaches that death is no big deal. It is simply saying “goodbye” and moving on. Why do we make such a big deal out of it? Why are we so afraid on the one hand, and so sad on the other? Because we haven’t dealt with our ego.

As the Buddhists teach, we become attached to our ego. This attachment to the ego causes suffering especially if our spirit has to be pried loose.

For some people this detachment from the ego has been a gradual process and it has already been shed. For these people death is nothing to be feared because it has already occured.

Lin Chi, in Osho’s story about him, has nothing to say that hasn’t already been said. He has no more poignant last words.  He’d rather listen to the squirrels on the roof.

How about you? How will you spend your dying moments: terrified or listening for the music of the universe?

Osho teaches that death should be a celebration of thanksgiving for the wonder and awe that has been our existence here.

As George Burns used to say, at the end of the Burns and Allen show, to his wife and comedy partner, Gracie Allen, “Say goodnight, Gracie,” and Gracie would say, “Goodnight, Gracie.”

Burns and Allen brought a lot of humor and comfort and joy to the world. They both, now, have died but their memories live on as surely as any spiritual masters.

The Spiritual Life, Topic Eleven, Celebrate Life every day.

The Spiritual Life - Topic Eleven

Celebrate Life every day.

 From Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself by Osho

Have you ever thought about why, all over the world, in every culture, in every society, there are a few days in the year for celebration? These few days for celebration are just a compensation—because these societies have taken away all the celebration of your life, and if nothing is given to you in compensation your life can become a danger to the culture. Every culture has to give some compensation to you so that you don’t feel completely lost in misery, in sadness. But these compensations are false. Firecrackers and colored lights cannot make you rejoice. They are only for children—for you they are just a nuisance. But in your inner world there can be a continuity of lights, songs, joys. Always remember that society compensates you when it feels that the repressed may explode into a dangerous situation if it is not compensated. The society finds some way of allowing you to let out the repressed—but this is not true celebration, and it cannot be true. True celebration should come from your life, in your life. P .xvii

Transform small things into celebration. P. xviii

Osho’s teaching is that every day should be a celebration. It reminds me of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland who celebrated every day as a very happy unbirthday.

If we celebrated every day the small things in our lives, and if we stopped continually to “smell the roses” what would be the point of  holidays when expectations of pleasure rise to unfulfillable heights?

Why do people get depressed at the Christmas Holidays? Do they ever measure up to the idealized expectations that we have for them? Same is true for birthday celebrations, Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day, anniversaries, and other “special” occasions.

Osho’s teaching is pointing out that the things on the path of the ego usually disappoint and if they satisfy somewhat providing momentary pleasure, it quickly dissipates and then we have to do the same thing all over again.

These artificial celebrations, done according to a calendar, are often less than satisfying and don’t compensate us for what we have lost to our socialization and conditioning to compliance with the norms and expectations on the path of the ego.

Jesus teaches a similar idea when He says in Matthew 6: 26 - 30

26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

Jesus calls the worriers, the repressed, the socially conditioned, “you of little faith.”

Osho and Jesus are teaching a similar thing: that life is to be enjoyed and celebrated each and every day. There is no need to worry and wait for special times that the world of the ego holds out to us to relieve our tension, our boredom, our depression, our fears.

Take the time to savor the roses and a good cup of coffee or tea and the mystery of the people continually crossing your path. This is what Love would have us do - be happy and bask in the Love of the Creator and extend it to anyone and everything that crosses our path.

The Spiritual Life, Topic Ten, What is the purpose of art?

The Spiritual Life - Topic Ten

What is the purpose of art?

From Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself by Osho

Those statues and temples were not built for worshiping; they were built for experiencing. They are scientific laboratories—they have nothing to do with religion! A certain secret science has been used for centuries so the coming generations could come in contact with the experiences of the older generations. Not through books, not through words, but through something that goes deeper—through silence, through meditation, through peace. As your silence grows, your friendliness, your love grows; your life becomes a moment-to-moment dance, a joy, a celebration. P.xvi-xvii

What is the purpose of religious art whether it be beautiful architecture, sculpture, paintings, music, liturgy, stories and illuminated texts? As Osho points out, religious art is not for worshiping but for experiencing.

One person said that she didn’t go to church for the worship, or for the people, but for the building. She liked being in such a beautiful building. The building filled her with a sense of reverence, awe, joy, and peace.

Does beauty lead us to an awareness of Godliness? It can,  if we stop to smell the roses. If we savor the experience. The beauty of Godliness is sublime, moving, and lifts us to an awareness of wonder. This experience has been called “rapture” as if we have been taken up into the Oneness of All.
Religious art is not made up of objects to possess, to view, to analyse, to sight-see. Religious art is a gateway to a higher state of consciousness, to an experience of celebration of the wonder of existence and creation and beauty.

The Spiritual Life, Topic Nine, Form vs. Content

The Spiritual Life - Topic Nine

Form vs. content

From : Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself by Osho

We have not bothered about the outside; we have insisted that only the inner should be paid attention to. The outer is unimportant. Somebody is young, somebody is old, somebody is black, somebody is white, somebody is man, somebody is woman—it does not matter; what matters is that inside there is an ocean of silence. In that oceanic state, the body takes a certain posture. p.xvi

On the path of the ego we focus more on the form of things, how things look, than we do on the content, the essence.

Forms change constantly and are impermanent. Content, essence, does not change, but is eternal. What a person looks like is not important, it is what is in their heart and yet we try to discern what is in their heart by perceiving their form. The old saying goes, “You can’t tell a book by its cover.”

The immature perceive and judge reality based on form. That’s why as children grow they get such a kick out of playing “peek-a-boo”. Is mommy or daddy here or gone?

Immature people play peek a boo with God. If things are going their way, they believe God is here, but if things stop going their way they get angry and blame their God for abandoning them and in their anger and resentment give up their belief.

Jesus often said to His disciples, “Oh, you of little faith………..”

Form is made up of the tricks of the ego, but content, essence, the ground of being, is eternal and is forever. The physical body dies but the spirit, the ground of being, the energy which our incarnation has made manifest lives on forever.

The Spiritual Life, Topic Eight, Reclaiming the innocence, wonder, and awe of childhood

The Spiritual Life - Topic Eight

Reclaiming the innocence, wonder, and awe of childhood.

Whenever you understand that you have missed life, the first principle to be brought back is innocence. 

Drop your knowledge, forget your scriptures, forget your religions, your theologies, your philosophies. Be born again, become innocent—and it is in your hands. Clean your mind of all that is not known by you, of all that is borrowed, all that has come from tradition, convention. All that has been given to you by others—parents, teachers, universities—just get rid of it. 

Once again be simple, once again be a child. And this miracle is possible by meditation.

Meditation is simply a strange surgical method that cuts you away from all that is not yours and saves only that which is your authentic being. It burns everything else and leaves you standing naked, alone under the sun, in the wind. It is as if you are the first man who has descended onto earth—who knows nothing, who has to discover everything, who has to be a seeker, who has to go on a pilgrimage. p.xii

This “being brought back to innocence” of which Osho speaks is the idea of being “twice born” which is a common concept in all mystical traditions of the world religions. Jesus teaches that “unless you become like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.” It is this reclamation of our innate innocence that Jesus is talking about.

And how is this reclamation of innocence to be done? There are many ways. The first is to give up our attachment to the idols on the path of the ego recognizing that they will never give us permanent happiness. Whatever happiness they may seem to give is temporary, effervescent, never seems to live up to our expectations and never lasts long enough.

When we are disappointed that the things we thought would make us happy don’t make us happy, we experience disillusionment which triggers anger, confusion, fear, and depression. These feelings of dysphoria lead to an awareness that there must be more to life. This hitting bottom and wondering where we have gone wrong is called “the dawning.” It dawns on us that there must be a better way.

It is when it dawns on us that there must be a better way that we begin our search for what that better way might be. This search does not take us outward to external things but inward to the peace of “no-thing.” This activity of shedding all our false beliefs and conditioning, Osho, calls “meditation.” Meditation is the clearing of the mind of all thoughts so we enter into a vast, clear sky of pure consciousness. At first this experience is fleeting and momentary, but with practice we are able to extend this sense of being one with All for what seem to be longer periods of time on the earth plane, but on the path of the Spirit is timeless.

When we are able to drop our egos and become one with the All and experience cosmic consciousness we have reclaimed the innocence, awe, and wonder of childhood.

The Spiritual Life - Awakening to what Love would have me do.

The Spiritual Life - Topic Seven

What would Love have me do?

From Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself by Osho

In the second birth he is going to gain what was available in the first birth, but the society, the parents, the people surrounding him crushed it, destroyed it. Every child is being stuffed with knowledge. His simplicity has to be somehow removed, because simplicity is not going to help him in this competitive world. His simplicity will look to the world as if he is a simpleton; his innocence will be exploited in every possible way. Afraid of the society, afraid of the world we ourselves have created, we try to make every child be clever, cunning, knowledgeable—to be in the category of the powerful, not in the category of the oppressed and the powerless. xii

This is the original sin, the socialization by society. It is necessary for human functioning, but it destroys innocence. Socialization obliterates any memory of the Divine essence from which we have come.

The irony is that we don’t even know that we have forgotten our natural inheritance. It is this lack of memory and experience of our natural inheritance which the mystical traditions call “sleep.” The mystics teach that people need to be awakened from this sleep, this dream world that their socialization and conditioning has encumbered them with.

Plato’s allegory of the cave explains the idea well.

Waking up from this lack of memory and awareness can be gradual or sudden. It can be episodic or less likely continuous. Waking up takes us to the sixth stage of spiritual development in Fowler’s model which is cosmic consciousness.

Osho teaches that the way to this awakening is meditation. The first step in this awakening is just knowing what you don’t know and remembering that the socialization and conditioning on the ego plane is not real. It is illusory, impermanent, and will never provide the peace and bliss that we humans yearn for.

In twelve step programs in the third step, a practitioner is encouraged  to “make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand God.” This third step is the willingness and decision to surrender our ego and enter onto the path of the Spirit. It is a willingness and decision than can transform our lives. This practice is as simple as asking ourselves 100 times a day, “What would Love have me do?”

The Spiritual Life - Topic Six

Every day words for Fowler’s stages of faith development.

People do not proceed through the stages of faith development in linear step by step fashion. There is some back and forth and oscillation in the pattern of growth and development. However, a person, using this framework, can usually determine the stage that they are in predominantly at any given point in their life.

Fowler uses academic abstract terminology to name his six stages. In this article, names will be given to these stages that are more colloquial and hopefully more understandable and  memorable.

Stage one which usually occurs in ages 3-7 Fowler names “intuitive-projective” and which can also be called the “Fairy tale stage.” God is imagined as a fanciful figure like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny who cares about good and bad behavior and rewards or punishes accordingly.

Stage two which usually occurs between 8 and 12 Fowler names “mythic literal” and which can also be called the “heroic stage” wherein  the person believes in avatar figures who can be athletes, celebrities of all sorts, or mythic characters like the Power Rangers, the Ninja Turtles, or other heroic figures who are idealized. God is imagined the biggest heroic figure of all with superior powers of all sorts.

Stage three which usually occurs in adolescence Fowler names “synthetic-conventional” and which can also be called the “moral code stage” wherein good guys win and bad guys are caught and punished. God is thought of as the judge, jury, and enforcer of moral and social order.

Stage four which usually occurs from early twenties to late thirties, Fowler names “individuative - reflective” and which can also be called the “questioning stage” in which what the person was taught earlier about God and their religion now doesn’t seem to make total sense and it dawns on the person that there must be a better way to make sense of one’s life and experience. God is no longer thought to be a dependable and/or understandable concept, and people, at this stage, often are seen to be losing or having lost their faith.

Stage five which usually occurs at mid life, Fowler calls “conjunctive” and which can also be called the “searching stage” in which the person is aware of paradox, mystery, and that logic and rational thought does not help them name their deep longing for the comfort of a foundational experience of truth. God becomes a symbolic term for something which is perceived as being transcendent and mysterious.

Stage six which usually occurs later in one’s life, but can occur at any time, Fowler calls “Universalizing” and which can also be called the cosmic consciousness stage which is the non dualistic apprehension of Oneness. The person in this stage puts the rational mind aside and rests in the experience of being one with All. Another word often used for this stage is “enlightenment.”

Most people who read this blog and are following this series of topics on The Spiritual Life would be at stage four and above. It would seem likely that most people would be at stage five.

The Spiritual Life - Topic Four, The Stages of Faith Development

The Spiritual Life - Topic Four

Stages of faith

Young children, below the age of 7  believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc. Young children give up this belief in magical figures and so It seems odd that people's concrete thinking when it comes to a deity doesn’t  mature.

It is somewhat comical that when God is referred to as  "she" this upsets many people. Even further, people get upset when people are told that “God” is not a noun but a verb.

A person's conception of "God" as an anthropomorphic persona is a sign of their spiritual immaturity which hasn't moved much beyond what Fowler identified as Stage one and two and three.

Using Fowler's developmental model of faith (click the link above), what stage do you think you are in?

The spiritual life - topic three 

What is being twice born?

Osho, - Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself

The first step in the art of living will be to understand the distinction between ignorance and innocence. Innocence has to be supported, protected—because the child has brought with him the greatest treasure, the treasure that sages find only after arduous effort. Sages have said that they become children again, that they are reborn. 

In India the real Brahman, the real knower, has called himself dwij, twice born. Why twice born? What happened to the first birth? What is the need of the second birth? And what is he going to gain in the second birth? 

In the second birth he is going to gain what was available in the first birth, but the society, the parents, the people surrounding him crushed it, destroyed it. Every child is being stuffed with knowledge. His simplicity has to be somehow removed, because simplicity is not going to help him in this competitive world. His simplicity will look to the world as if he is a simpleton; his innocence will be exploited in every possible way. Afraid of the society, afraid of the world we ourselves have created, we try to make every child be clever, cunning, knowledgeable—to be in the category of the powerful, not in the category of the oppressed and the powerless. P.xi - xii

Society socializes us, conditions us, diminishes and eliminates the innocence that we were born with. That child-like innocence is our natural inheritance, our birth right, but it gets destroyed by, first our families, and secondly our community, and thirdly the wider society.

The goal of this socialization and conditioning is what we are told is “success” in the ego world. What parents, what teachers, what coaches, what religious mentors, what other societal authorities don’t want the individual to be successful? And so children are taught their manners, their etiquette, the right way to behave, to manipulate, to find the loopholes, to be pleasing to others or to dominate others, to be charming or be a bully or both.

The child is taught to perform to gain status and prestige through competition so the parents, the school, the community, the team can be proud. And then after the ego is stroked and celebrations are held, what’s next, but more prizes to be sought after or to coast and relive the ego stroking in memory for weeks, months, years, and decades.

The sages tell us that ego prizes and ego stroking does not lead to a satisfying and fulfilling life well lived. What leads to peace and joy is the eschewing of the path of the ego and embarking on the path of the Spirit which is based on Unconditional Love and remembering the innocence and wonder and awe from which we have separated ourselves and have forgotten.

As we mature spiritually, we give up the things of the ego and come to appreciate the inner world more than the outer world. Jesus teaches His followers to be in the world but not of the world.

Today, we can ask ourselves not “what is this going to get me” but rather, “what would love have me do?” It is in asking the second question rather than the first that we are being twice born.

The Spiritual Live, Topic two, Remembering we already have all that we ever wanted

Topic two

Remembering we already have all that we ever wanted.

From Osho’s book, “Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself”

“Meditation means going into your immortality, going into eternity, going into your godliness, And the child is the most qualified because he is still unburdened by knowledge, unburdened by religion, unburdened by education, unburdened by all kinds of rubbish. He is innocent.” p. x

“Ignorance is poor, it is a beggar - it wants this, it wants that, it wants to be knowledgeable, it wants to be respectable, it wants to be wealthy, it wants to be powerful. Ignorance moves on the path of desire. Innocence is a state of desirelessness. But because both are without knowledge, we remain confused about their natures. We have taken it for granted that they are the same.” p. xi

“Maturity is a rebirth, a spiritual birth. You are born anew, you are a child again. With fresh eyes you start looking at existence. With love in the heart you approach life. With silence and innocence you penetrate your own innermost core. P.xi

Religion is about belief. Spirituality is about experience. As we progress in our spiritual development we move from our heads to our hearts, from belief to experience. This is why Osho recommends meditation. Meditation is the eschewing of beliefs and thoughts and clearing one’s mind of what the Buddhists call “monkey mind” that part of our experience which is the constant chatter of talking to ourselves in our heads.

Clearing the mind of all the talk allows for the experience of a rebirth, the “spiritual rebirth” which Osho describes. Meditation takes us inward to our innermost core where Unconditional Love resides which is our natural inheritance.

In our fast paced world focused on acquiring pleasure and external things we think will make us happy puts us on a frantic wild goose chase. We are like the hamsters running in our wheels which spin nowhere. In our ignorance we pursue the idols of the ego world having been taught by society that these things will make us happy. As we become more spiritually aware, we come to realize that these expectations, hopes, dreams, and aspirations have been misguided and it dawns on us, often with great anguish and suffering, that we have been on the wrong path. We say to ourselves in exasperation and dysphoria, “there must be a better way.” And it is in this thought born from frustration, depression, anxiety and fear that the first step on a spiritual path begins as we begin to search for what that better way might be.

Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This free and responsible search is the rebirth that Osho describes which takes us from ignorance to innocence,  from a state of stressful desires to the peace and joy of desirelessness. We come to remember that on the path of the Spirit we already have all that we ever wanted, the Unconditional Love of creation.

The Spiritual Life, topic one, Regaining the wonder and innocence of a child.

Topic one, Entering into a spiritual life.

Today is Easter. Jesus rose again into a new life. Today, after a season of lent, we recognize, acknowledge, and validate this understanding.

Jesus has left the world of the ego behind. An illusory world which didn’t want to learn what He was trying to teach, and to silence Him they arrested Him, tortured Him, and killed His body, but His Spirit rose alive and well to become One with the All and with Us who understand what He was teaching.

One of our contemporary teachers, a spiritual master, is Osho, and during this Easter season we will be reflecting on Osho’s teachings along with Jesus’ as well as other mystical traditions and describing how they can be applied in a Unitarian Univeralist Way Of Life.

Buckle your seat belts and prepare yourself for a wild ride.

People enter into a spiritual search when the path of the ego isn't working for them any more. It dawns on them one day that the idols of the ego world have not made them happy and in their angst and depression and anxiety they start to search.

Many people come to Unitarian Univeralism because it is one religion that affirms and promotes the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Osho teaches that rebellion is the first step on the path of an authentic spiritual life.

In Osho’s book, “Maturity: The Responsibility For Being Oneself” on page xi he says,

“Maturity is a rebirth, a spiritual birth. You are born anew, you are a child again. With fresh eyes you start looking at existence. With love in the heart you approach life. With silence and innocence you penetrate your own innermost core. “

The seeker starts to renounce and shed the shackles of prior socialization and conditioning and starts to look at the world fresh again from the path of the spirit instead of the path of the ego. Jesus says in Matthew 18:3 “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”

And so the Evangelical Christians have it right when they say that people have to become “born again” if they are to enter the kingdom of heaven, but this involves more than just accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior whatever that means.

What being “twice born” means in the perennial psychology is that a person has to give up their social conditioning on the path of the ego and embark on the path of the Spirit which is Unconditional Love.

Embarking on this other path of the Spirit is what Jesus’ life was all about which is pointedly exemplified with Easter resurrection of the spirit as Jesus invited us to enter into a spiritual life and Osho encourages us and suggests ways we might do it through developing a meditative mindset and celebrating life.

Join us on this journey of reflections through the Easter season as we explore becoming "twice born" and regain the innocence and wonder of a child.
