Does anyone else feel an “ick” when people reduce themselves only to identity?

Sometimes I get this strange feeling when I see people completely revolve their existence around being “a girl” or “a man.”

Like everything becomes about being pretty enough, masculine enough, desirable enough, aesthetic enough, alpha enough.

And honestly, I understand why it happens. Identity makes existence feel more structured. It gives certainty in a very uncertain life. Humans want to feel seen, wanted, and like they belong somewhere.

So this is not hatred toward people at all. I see the pain and conditioning underneath it.

But still, something in me feels sad seeing humans reduce themselves to a role so deeply that they stop seeing themselves beyond it.

You are not just a girl.

You are not just a man.

Before all of that, you are a living being experiencing existence itself.

I don’t know. Maybe this sounds abstract, but it gives me this bittersweet feeling.

the wisdom age that the world will eventually enter.

has anyone ever heard about the wisdom age?

its gonna be an age where the world will collectively or at least in many parts of the world people will start to look inside of them for once and that they will pause and start to live more consciously , not all at once , not by sudden magic turn , but by collectively entering the state of mind they once avoided completely.

6 months of listening to Osho — here's what actually changed in me

Not writing this to preach or convince. Just sharing what I genuinely noticed.

A real sense of humor showed up

Osho talks about emotions with unusual depth. Somewhere in that, I started finding things genuinely funny — not performing humor, not borrowing jokes. Just seeing the absurdity of life clearly. It grew on its own.

The "I should've said that" thing stopped

For years my best responses came after the conversation ended. I'd replay and regret. Slowly that gap closed. Now thoughts arrive in the moment. Conversations feel natural instead of something I recover from later.

People started enjoying my company more — because I stopped trying

As the "I" loosened, something shifted socially. No performance, no managing impressions. Just showing up. Turns out that's what people actually respond to.

Talking to anyone without fear

Manager, stranger, anyone. I give respect where it's due but not from fear anymore. I don't plan conversations. I just show up and it happens.

You start seeing other people's minds too

When you watch your own mind long enough, you recognize the same patterns in everyone. Same fears, different faces. This could be misused — but honest awareness feels more like compassion than control.

Steadiness. This one's the most important.

Everything above sits on top of this. A quiet stability that wasn't there before. Things happen and I don't get swept away as easily. Hard to explain but once you feel it, you notice when it's missing more than when it's there.

That's it. Six months. Still going.

Ashtavakra Maha Geeta discourses by Osho. That's what I've been listening to.

Who is in Oregon?

Hello Friends and Family,

I am local to Oregon:

Do you want to make right where Osho's followers have made wrong?

I will be looking for people to join me in protest in the near future.

We have a moral obligation to protest the police, the landlords, the politicians, ICE, and we will even protest the protestors. The left and the right grow more delusional every day.

We understand you can not teach ignorance and delusions with words alone. The time for actions has arrived.

I have creative ideas for all of our oppressors.

Is anybody here familiar with the Sohei?

You can help me purify Karma to protect the children of tomorrow. We must not falter. As our numbers grow, our tactics evolve. Soon, we will find the heads of the snake.

🙏

Sādhu Sādhu Shanti.

With wrathful compassion and embrace,

The Dharmapalalama.

We cannot throw the responsibility on anybody's head, there is no God, then the whole responsibility falls on us. That is my hidden desire. Why am I throwing God down the toilet? Because I want man to understand that he is responsible - OSHO 💖

To be conscious means you are mature enough now to accept all responsibility for yourself and for the existence that surrounds you.

Risk everything for the awareness

Osho is my guru and this is one of his profound teaching which has helped me in my journey of life. I used to listen to Osho from very young again of twelve or thirteen years because I felt like i was an outcast. I hated the sytem of the society and education system because they're creating robots who are in the endless chase for money, fame, power, etc. Osho teaches me to be content with my life and never be jealous of others. I know that if i become robot then i will never be content with my life. I will always be sad. I am not a mechanical being. I don't have to be efficient. I don't have to be sucessful.

I know that if i lose my awareness. I will not be my true inner self. Risk awareness means that i am risking my own identity. That only brings sorrow and agony nothing else. I should stop comparing myself with others.

After listening to Osho i realized that i was getting away from my inner self because of the expectations of my parents. I am not obliged to complete it. I will do what i feel like doing. I have to live in the present. I have to forget my past. Awarness is the most important thing in a person's life for grace and beauty.

I believe Dharmapalism is the "religionless" religion Osho wanted. It is the religion of the science of virtue ethics. The religion of self-defense and true love.

Heres an original teaching by me.

Just like Osha was a Buddha:

Plato Aristotelēs and Christ were Buddhas.

Zoom in on the wax seal on the scroll. This is the Dharmapala Om symbol. This is the symbol of OUR people.

Guidance for a beginner 🙏🏻

Hello Everyone 🙏🏻

I’ve recently started listening to snippets of Osho’s talks on YouTube and find many of his ideas deeply interesting, but I also realise short clips can sometimes lack context. I’d really like to understand his work more seriously and systematically rather than through random excerpts.

For those who have studied Osho in depth, what would be the best path to approach his teachings through books and discourses, preferably in English? Are there certain talks or books that are considered the best starting point for understanding his philosophy, meditation practices, and overall worldview?

Would also appreciate recommendations on how to engage critically and thoughtfully with his work rather than just consuming isolated quotes online.
