It was the most innocent pick-up of the year, I think. When I picked up Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic, by Osho, you could say, it was intuitive.

I am amused and smiling as I write the review. One of the resonating themes of the books is to let go of the shackles of the belief system(s) that you have adorned, imbibed and ingrained over the years. Whatever these may be - religious, spiritual, social or political.

Osho says in a section of the book - to be in the moment and More...

When I picked this book, I must admit I was quite skeptical as to what influence will it have on me. And for me a good book is not what I read, it is a book which reads me. I was in complete awe after finishing it. This book definitely makes you break free the shackles of the rigid mindset that keeps your life grounded in the complexities of everyday living. You never get to lift your feet from the ground realities; fly with the wings of your imagination is pure fiction. Osho just dissolves thos More...

There were some really interesting concepts. And then there were entire passages that I could not relate to - or agree with - at all!!

WOW! Super amazing. If you ever wondering why your logical brain can't figure out intution, this book will tell you why!!! Your rational mind can not accept or understand anything that exists above it. In other words, your intution is above your intellect. Bottom line: so don't cling to what you know, cause what you don't know is stronger than what you do.

I couldn't make it through the book, it was a little vague and incoherent. There are some interesting insights, about Western culture and our problems, but I had to laugh at his idea that living in a nudist ashram will shake off our sexual repression and eventually make us lose interest in sex and therefore be enlightened and transcend ourselves, leading us to our intuitive state. That is just not helpful to me!

There are few "spiritual", "mystic", meditational books that I can read page to page and agree with everything being said- I mean that's rare in any book. Osho does a great job of seperating "fact from fiction" and the overbearing traditions from long practiced meditations. Taught me great insight on the silent side the of the mind.

One of the best books I've ever read. It helped me tremendously with my life and outlook. Osho can be provocative and downright confrontational in a lot of his writing but I found intuition very affirming and helpful. Trusting oneself is a lifelong quest that should be pursued.

Intelligence is the inborn capacity to see, to perceive. Every child is born intelligent, then made stupid by the society. We educate him in stupidity, and sooner or later he graduates in stupidity.

Taxonomy of bases for our actions: instinct, intellect, and intuition. The differences and similarities between these methods are explained. A very good book to read for a scientist.

I like to re-read books by Osho from time to time, there is always some reminder to look at the things in a different way, to better understand yourself, to remember that logic and reason are only parts of decision making.

I guess I was expecting a little more than what was provided.

I had always believed in intuition. But was always in an imbalance with the inner voice and the sense of reasoning. Osho has given me enough insight to be comfortable with my intuitions and to follow it in life as you follow your instincts.
