this book is about tantra (not sex - that's kama sutra). tantra is about uniting of all of our experience (body, emotions, mind) for the pursuit of a greater purpose, such as spiritual fulfillment. the processes of tantra are highly psychological in nature, so if you like psychology, eastern yoga, esoteric metaphysics, or even just something new on the philosophical horizon, this book has it in concentration. personally, i have read this book 10+ times. this is one of my all-time favorite books

When I was a little girl I was traumatize by the film In Cold Blood. You see when it first was aired on network television WMT (now KGAN) chose to show it after 10:30 P.M. My brother Steve and I snuck into the living room to watch it and of course came into the movie as the farm family was being slaughtered. It took a boyfriend forcing me to watch the movie in 1991, to realize that it wasn’t the movie that scared me as much as it was the stuff I let be associated with that film. I had convinced

I usually try to avoid "feel-good" New Age books, mainly because I know that life is not always about feeling good, and I don't want to believe in, or practise, lies and deception, especially towards my own self. Who can want to deceive their own selves?
If you're a truth seeker, or have felt that at many points in your life you have had truths revealed to you that others don't seem to either know or care about; if you feel akin to Indian ways of thought and peaceful living, More...

As a Seeker you must learn a much higher code of conduct then just those taught to you as a child. This requires your willingness to integrate many points of view. What wisdom list of books would be complete without at least one more perspective about the divine? Start with your own great spiritual or religious tradition then read the Book of Secrets. Osho speaks fluently in the tradition of all great spiritual teachers - with love, kindness, tolerance and compassion. Tantra is teaching spirit f

A good book to reread now and then, but in small doses. Like all wisdom literature it should be taken with a proverbial grain of salt. But there is more powerful insight in this one book than in all the new age babble that lines the self-help shelves. At times contradictory or reductive (Osho's grasp of science is rudimentary), it is the imperfect work of an imperfect mind speaking truths that are difficult to hear and even harder to live. At any rate, the transformation it aims at won't come f

Although I havent read many of Osho books, I have read his Autobiography [http://www.iosho.com/oBook/The%20Life%20Of%20Osho/] (collection and excerpts of his lectures over the yrs about his life) and From Sex to Superconsciousness. One major difference in this book is that his goal in the book is very clear. Its not abstract in any way, its like math- clear cut and concise. He talks about the difference between Yoga and Tantra in the beginning and explains their differing philosophies in a sim

This book, more than any other that I have found, provides simple practical techniques (112 of them) for breaking through the veil of illusion and entering truth. While the techniques are simple and profound, the author has written over 1,100 pages of commentary that provide context and insight. This is a very readable book. It is the right book for me now. Interestingly, many of its techniques are ones that I had practiced on my own without knowing from whence they came or why I was practicing

The author's musings on the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. Osho's commentaris on these sutras are based on the translation of Paul Reps rather than the Sanskrit originals. Neverthelss, they are so original in their approach and speak so directly that they warrant study. This is not a book to be read cover to cover. Each sutra suggests a meditation practice. Each meditation practice could occupy one for a lifetime.

This commentary is one of the best I have read from OSHO. It is quite extensive, and to study it properly will require much time, but for those on a quest for spiritual truths and methods of preparing the mind for awakening, this is an excellent resource.

be careful
if you read to much of this or any osho- you might end up looney.
however, there's some good tidbits of wisdom here and there.

I picked and chose chapters of it that appealed to me and each one was creating drastic shifts in my perceptions and experiences but somehow the book failed to hold my interest for longer than 1 week. Perhaps I need a little more time to rest where I am before I am again drawn to return to it to continue my transformation.

Up to page 200 or so now. A simply brilliant, clear, and practical close-reading of the Tantra Sutras (only 6 of which have anything to do with sex), plus long aleatory lessons from Osho. Both good for your soul and handy for your new project on Irigaray. Seriouly one of the best "esoteric" books I have ever, ever read.

I know its a huge book, but you have to do more than read this one. Cover to cover, this is a complete work. For those who are just curious, its perfectly alright to skip around to whatever catches your eye.
