Osho Insights for a new way of living
Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic
Intuition deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit. Logic is how the mind knows reality, intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho's discussion of these matters is wonderfully lucid, occasionally funny, and thoroughly engrossing.
All people have a natural capacity for intuition, but often social conditioning and formal education work against it. People are taught to ignore their instincts rather than to understand and use them as a foundation for individual growth and development-and in the process they undermine the very roots of the innate wisdom that is meant to flower into intuition.
In this volume, Osho pinpoints exactly what intuition is and gives guidelines for how to identify its functioning in others and ourselves. You will learn to distinguish between genuine intuitive insight and the "wishful thinking" that can often lead to mistaken choices and unwanted consequences. Includes many specific exercises and meditations designed to nourish and support each individual's natural intuitive gifts.
OSHO challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to experience 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. More than a decade after his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

About the author
Osho
4,302 books6,802 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

Osho is fantastic. At the moment I'm listening and committing to memory a number of string quartets, a most rewarding and energizing experience. What is required in doing this is not reason or logic but intuition, which reminded me of this inspirational book by Osho. I started to reread and couldn't stop. I wanted to share a few of my reflections.
“To know means to be silent, utterly silent, so you can hear the still, small voice within. To know means to drop the mind. When you are absolutely still, unmoving, nothing wavers in you, the doors open. You are part of this mysterious existence. You know it by becoming part of it, by becoming a participant in it. That is knowing.” ---------- Reminds me of Nietzsche’s Zarathustra urging us to flee from the flies of the marketplace; “You’ve been deafened by the noise of the great men and stung but the stings of the little men. Flee into your silence and solitude.” There comes a time when we have to turn off the TV and all the gadgets and simply rest in silence. There are few practices more refreshing.
“Intellect is your mind. Instinct is your body. And just as instinct functions perfectly on behalf of the body, intuition functions perfectly as far as your consciousness is concerned. Intellect is just between these two—a passage to be passed, a bridge to be crossed. ----------- This is a critical point that many people just don’t get: intuition is not a denial of reason or the opposite of reason, intuition transcends reason as, for example, when we look out at the ocean and feel a deep peace and oneness with the world or when we listen to a deeply moving piece of music.
“If the left hemisphere of the brain goes on dominating you, you will live a successful life—so successful that by the time you are forty you will have ulcers; by the time you are forty-five, you will have had at least one or two heart attacks. ---------- I vividly recall a friend of mine telling me he took everyone around him - friends, family, associates, people he met on the street - for granted and was focused on making money and being a great success in business. He then had a massive heart attack. He said when he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, he appreciated people for the first time. Changed his life completely.
“Reason is an effort to know the unknown and intuition is the happening of the unknowable. To penetrate the unknowable is possible, but to explain it is not. The feeling is possible, the explanation is not.” ---------- Case in point: aesthetic experience. When creating in writing, music or the visual arts, we can’t be too conceptual since too much thinking can hold us back. I recall that quote from Louis Armstrong: “If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know.”
“Because of the unknowable, life means something. When everything is known, then everything is flat. You will be fed up, bored.” ---------- Joseph Campbell reflected how the meaning of life is overemphasized, that is, figuring out the meaning of life isn’t really our prime question. The prime question we face is how we are going to live in a way that we feel completely alive. What I personally enjoy above Joseph Campbell’s words are the emphasis on ‘the way we feel’. In our modern world there is much too much disregard and disrespect for feelings and sensations. If we can relax into feelings and ongoing sensations, a rich, creamy many-textured world opens up.

Umm. Wow, okay. I am so pissed, I expected so much from this.
If I could, I would rate this with 0 stars. No, -1. I still can't believe how bad this is.
I started reading this with enthusiasm as I wanted to learn more about intuition, and this seemed like the right pick. I knew little about Osho before this, I have only seen his name under some quotes I liked, and they seemed profound and spiritual. But after reading the actual philosophy of this man, I wonder if he has actually written any of those.
Where do I start...
So I noticed from the beginning that he keeps repeating sentences, saying the same thing in a different way, which is a tactic I noticed in other self professed gurus and so called mystics, such as Sadhguru. Basically, they use this enigmatic way of speaking and a cloak of mystery to fool people they're "enlightened" and to hide the fact that they only care about sex, money and power.
The first red flag I noticed:
"The mother crocodile has to keep the kids in her mouth to protect them from the father. She has a big mouth—all women have big mouths—she can manage to keep almost a dozen kids in her mouth."
All women have big mouths? What is that supposed to mean? This man calls himself enlightened, and I am supposed to listen to his "teachings"?
Then he continues:
"The man goes on seeking, persuading, writing love letters, sending presents and doing everything in his power; but once his sex is satisfied, he starts becoming uninterested. Now, it is not something that he is doing knowingly. He does not want to hurt; particularly the person whom he has loved he does not want to hurt. But this is the way of biology. All that romance and all the love was just smoke in which nature was trying to hide the sexual part, which in itself looks ugly, so it was giving it a beautiful cover.
But once nature’s work is done through you, all that smoke disappears. Instinct knows only sex. Love is only a sugarcoating on a bitter pill just to help you swallow it. Your love is just an illusion created by your chemistry.
Hmm. I can see this man clearly knows nothing about love, all he knows is his instinct, his sexual urge, and that is where he wants to take you, not intuition. There is a strong, consistent reinforcement of sex throughout the text.
"If a man is sane, he will use his intellect to help his unconscious be fulfilled.|
Nobody has told you how to use intellect to fulfill your unconscious, your nature, your biology, your chemistry. They are yours—what does it matter whether it is chemistry or biology or physiology? They are part of you, and nature never gives anything without reason. Fulfill it, and its fulfillment is going to make a path for the higher potential."
Do you see what I mean? He keeps repeating fulfil, fulfil, fulfil. It's all about sex for him.
This article confirms my gut instinct: https://newrepublic.com/article/14787...
"If you are some kind of crackpot—Catholic, Protestant, any kind, there are all sorts of crackpots available in the world."
Using words such as stupid, crackpot, calling people and religions mad without any explanation or a decent argument... how has this man managed to become so established in the world??
I can't believe someone like this has sold so many books, feeding people with these false ideas and brainwashing them into letting their sexual urges drive them, and believing love isn't real. Love is real. And this man knows nothing about it. I believe that I, a 21 year old girl, would have written a better book about intuition than him.
There were some reasonable thoughts to consider in the beginning of the book though, some quotes I really liked and they resonate. But I recognize that this is just a bait; and the real, underlying message and intention of this book disgusts me so I will not read it further.
I would never recommend anything by "Mr" Osho to anyone, and if they mention him, I will show them my review and that article that reveals the truth about him.

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.

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 those chains of metal that our beliefs have trapped us in with this book. If you want to reach a level higher than the one everyone, even the most successful people in the world are, you ought to read this book. He has so aptly said in one of the places, success is failure. The brilliance also lies in the simplicity in which he puts across those transformational thoughts across for a layman. It is a must must must read!!!!

ปัญญาญาณ Intuition โดย osho แปลโดย ดร. ประพนธ์ ผาสุขยืด สนพ. ฟรีมายด์ พิมพ์ครั้งที่ 9
ครึ่งเล่มแรก อธิบายญาณ 3 แบบ คือ สัญชาตญาณ ปรีชาญาณ(intellect) ปัญญาญาณ(intuition) โดยโอโชจะอธิบายอย่างละเอียดเปรียบเทียบทีละคู่
สายอนุรักษ์นิยมอาจอ่านการเปรียบเทียบคู่สัญชาตญาณ-ปรีชาญาณได้ลำบากสักหน่อย แต่สายจิตวิทยาจะอ่านผ่านไปได้สบายมาก เพราะใช้การอธิบายเรื่องแรงขับเคลื่อนทางเพศเยอะมาก
เนื้อหาสำคัญของเล่มอยู่ครึ่งเล่มหลัง หลังจากเปรียบเทียบ ปรีชาญาณ-ปัญญาญาณว่าไม่ได้เหมือนกันเลย อันนึงเป็นเรื่องสมอง/ความคิด อีกอันเป็นเรื่องของใจ/ความรู้สึก แล้วโอโชก็จะแนะนำคำใหม่ คือ เชาวน์ปัญญา(intelligence) ตามด้วยคำอธิบายว่า ปรีชาญาณ-เชาวน์ปัญญา ต่างกันอย่างไร อันนึงคือติดอยู่กับการสะสมอดีต ไม่ได้ใกล้เคียงกับการผุดบังเกิดและอยู่กับปัจจุบันเลย
ส่วนที่อ่านแล้วตะลึงเนื้อหาและความสามารถในการอธิบายของโอโชคือ 25% สุดท้ายของเล่ม คือ เปลี่ยนจากคิดมาเป็นรู้สึก, สร้างสภาวะที่ผ่อนคลาย, หาตัวนำทางจากข้างใน, ความสุขเป็นตัวตั้ง, ปล่อยใจไปกับบทกวี, ไม่มีจุดหมาย เนื้อหาช่วงหลังนี้สั้นและควรค่าแก่การคารวะค่ะ ภาษาเรียบง่าย ตรง ชัด แจ่มแจ้ง และ practical
ไม่แปลกใจว่าทำไมดร.ประพนธ์ชอบเล่มนี้มาก(จากคำนำ) จนหยิบเรื่องนี้มาแปลเป็นเล่มแรกของซีรีย์โอโช อ่านจบแล้วรู้สึกขอบคุณดร.ประพนธ์และสนพ.ฟรีมายด์มากๆ ที่ทำหนังสือดีมากขนาดนี้มาให้เราได้อ่านกันแบบสบายๆ ในเวอร์ชั่นแปลไทย เนื้อหาดีมากๆ ค่ะ

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

Osho... True to form :)
Like many of Osho's books, this one is about what the title concludes, and yet also... not (or at least not in the way some readers might be expecting). He sometimes makes creative leaps into seemingly-unrelated content, but it always comes together for me at some point when I can see the bigger picture he is pointing to. There is a lot more to this book than most books on intuition, and yet this book is tiny! If you're looking for one of those quick "psychic development" books, this book could leave you confused and disappointed. If it does, go with it! See where your own confusion leads you by settling into it. If you are looking for a higher (but, paradoxically: simpler) discussion of Intuition which asks big questions and provides a little challenge (and why wouldn't you be...?) then this is a great little book.
I was very well-read on the subject when I read Intuition, and had even been hired by two different companies to offer intuitive consultations. But, I learned more from this book, with Osho's standard style of poignant insights and his challenging inquiries, than from the large majority of other sources. It was perfect for where I was, and redefined intuition for me in a fantastic new way.
Loved it! And it only took a morning to read the whole thing!

I'm very disappointed. I had never read a book from Osho before and probably won't do it again.
His views are very radical and often based in a very black and white understanding of the world. Also, his arguments are very biased and some are even contradictory. Honestly, I just don't see how this book could change anyone's life for the better.
In addition, his speech is very anger based (just for reference, I read the book in Portuguese), which I think just shows that he is not at all enlightened.
I would surely never recommend his books to anyone.

This is a beautiful book and the most unique, penetrating and effective book about intuition that I have ever read. And I believe the most truthful. Because OSHO, who many refer to as a rebel mystic and philosopher for his bold and controversial ideas, shares a different take on intuition. He guides the reader to how intuition works with a meditative and spiritual perspective and how it cannot be explained or diagramed. Anything you are thinking about is not intuition, he says. Intuition is when you stop thinking. Intuition is the center of your being; it is not the intellect. He calls intuition the greatest guide for navigating through life. As he says, “Intuition has no process; it simply jumps from the problem to the conclusion. It is a shortcut. It is a flash.” He calls it a “quantum leap.” OSHO even goes as far as to say that there is no need for holy books or gurus—just your inner navigator once you’ve connected to your center.
For those who are seeking a spiritual experience through a book, I highly recommend this title by OSHO. This is the fourth book by him that I’ve read and I have yet to be disappointed by any of his books (other titles I’ve read by him are Trust, Meditation, and Destiny, Freedom and the Soul). You have to keep an open mind when you read his books because of his unconventional and bold take on spirituality and religion. I enjoyed it immensely and was engaged from the first page to the last!

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 not necessarily agree or disagree with what he says - just be with him him. Like you do not agree or disagree with a sunset or a rose, just be - do not agree or disagree. Significant social conditioning denies us this pleasure of being. The mind needs to settle everything in one of lobes.
So, I have nothing to tell you about the book. No experience is ever the same - especially with books and what we gain (or not) from them, this book is a shining candidate. I was just going along reading without thinking (which was a huge effort, I will admit).
In the end, it was an enjoyable experience.
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 not necessarily agree or disagree with what he says - just be with him him. Like you do not agree or disagree with a sunset or a rose, just be - do not agree or disagree. Significant social conditioning denies us this pleasure of being. The mind needs to settle everything in one of lobes.
So, I have nothing to tell you about the book. No experience is ever the same - especially with books and what we gain (or not) from them, this book is a shining candidate. I was just going along reading without thinking (which was a huge effort, I will admit).
In the end, it was an enjoyable experience.

Listening and following your Intuition is something that is never taught in schools or anywhere really... this book opens up the idea of your putting trust in your inner guide. Very interesting read!
January 2, 2011
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.

Osho as usual is a person who always gives you the truth in your face!

من الضروري أن نقرأ كتابًا سيئًا في العام .

It was a waste of time. #sorrynotsorry
February 17, 2021
Uvijek mlad, svjež, britak, mudar, životan, autentičan, lucidan i prkosan. Uvijek Osho. Ali ne prkosan od sna, kao Dizdarova zemljica Bosna, nego prkosan od pokušaja uspavljivanja života. Volim ljude sa "luđačkom" iskrom u oku.
"Kad tijelo spontano funkcionira, to se zove instinkt. Kad duša spontano funkcionira, to se zove intuicija. Slični su, a ipak potpuno različiti. Instinkt je tjelesni - grub; intuicija je duševna suptilna. A između to dvoje je um, stručnjak koji nikad ne funkcionira spontano. Um znači znanje. Znanje nikad ne može biti spontano. Instinkt je dublji od razuma , a intuicija je viša od razuma. Oboje je izvan razuma i oboje je dobro."
"Razum je pokušaj spoznavanja nepoznatog. Intuicija je događanje nepojmljivog. Moguće je spoznati nepojmljivo. Ali ga nije moguće objasniti. Moguće je osjećati. Nije moguće objasniti."
"Ja nisam protiv ničega. Ja sam samo protiv nesklada. I zato što vaša glava stvara najveći nesklad,htio bih da svoju glavu stavite na odgovarajuće mjesto. Glava je sluga,nije gospodar."
"Razum je slijep, ne zna kako se treba nositi s nečim novim: na novo pitanje uvijek daje stari odgovor."
"Čovjek koji je potpuno logičan - potpuno razuman,uvijek razuman, nikad u svom životu ne dopušta ništa nelogično - je luđak. Zdrav razum treba uravnotežiti s nerazboritošću,logika se mora izbalansirati s nelogičnošću."
"Poslovica koja govori da je prazan um vražja radionica,čista je glupost. Istina je posve suprotna: zaposlen um je vražja radionica!"
"Žena nije ni inferiorna ni superiorna muškarcu. To su samo dvije kategorije čovječanstva - ne mogu se uspoređivati. I samo uspoređivanje je idiotsko, jer čim počnete uspoređivati, naći ćete se u nevolji."
"u nekom boljem svijetu intuitivni bi ljudi trebali biti vodiči onima koji ih barem intelektualno mogu shvatiti. A intelektualni političari-profesori politike,školovani ljudi,teoretičari - oni bi bili vodiči instinktivnim političarima. tek bi tada svijet živio lagodno."
"Odbacite um koji razmišlja u prozi; oživite onaj um koji razmišlja u poeziji. Odbacite svoju vještinu silogizma; neka pjesme budu vaš način života. Krenite od uma prema intuiciji,od glave prema srcu, jer je srce bliže misterijima."
"Funkcionira li vaše seksualno središte kao seksualno središte, to je posve u redu.No, ljudi toliko toga potiskuju, da se mnogima seksualno središte ne nalazi u genitalijama, već se premjestilo u glavu."
"Muškarčeva intuicija je gotovo posve iskvarena. Ženska intuicija nije toliko iskvarena - zato žene imaju nešto što se zove "predosjećaj". Predosjećaj se samo dio intuicije. Ne može se dokazati."
"Ženski um je uglađen, muški učinkovit. Dakako , vodi li se stalna borba, na kraju je uglađeni um osuđen na poraz, pobijedit će ga učinkoviti um, jer svijet ne razumije jezik ljubavi, već jezik matematike. U trenutku kad vaša učinkovitost pobijedi vašu uglađenost, izgubit ćete nešto neizmjerno vrijedno: izgubit ćete kontakt sa vlastitim bićem. Možete postati veoma učinkoviti, ali više nećete biti stvarna osoba. Postat ćete stroj,predmet nalik robotu."
"Ne riješite li svoj unutarnji sukob izmežu lijeve i desne polutke, nikad nećete moći biti spokojni u ljubavi - nikad - jer će se ta unutarnja borba odraziti i izvana."
"Kad tijelo spontano funkcionira, to se zove instinkt. Kad duša spontano funkcionira, to se zove intuicija. Slični su, a ipak potpuno različiti.

الكتاب جميل و يرجعك إلى نفسك .. يستحق ٥ نجوم لكن قيمته ٤ بسبب التكرار .. اول تجربه مع أوشو ولن تكون الأخيرة
June 18, 2017
قرأت هذا الكتاب لسببين :
أودّ أن أفهم الإحساس التوقعات الغير منطقية التي تحدث حقيقة مثل شعور الأم بحدوث خطر لأبنها و يكون فعلاً هو في خطر. ما هذا ؟ مالذي يحدث في دواخلنا ؟ ( فلربما أجد شيء هنا ) او القدرة على توقع حدوث الأشياء و حصولها فعليًا.
السبب الثاني أود أن أقرأ لأوشو لا عن آراء في أوشو .
الكتاب تكلم عن فطرة القلب بالشعور او حتى الإحساس بالخطر مثل الأمهات -او مثل ما يحدث معي- . كما للعقل فطرة المنطق و للجسد الغريزة .
يقول :"الحدس هو ظاهرة مختلفة كليًّا عن التفكير المنطقي ؛ يجادل يستخدم عملية منهجية ليصل إلى خلاصة و الحدس يقفز - إنه قفزة نوعية مفاجئة يصل إلى الخلاصة من غير أي عملية ممنهجة"
"الفكر أعمى ، لا يعرف كيف يتعامل مع الجديد ، هو يستحضر دائمًا اجوبة قديمة لأسئلة جديدة"
"إن الشخص الحكيم يخلق إنسجامًا بين الرأس و القلب و الجسد"
"الرأس خادم وليس سيدًا و كخادم هو عظيم و مفيد"
أتفق مع هذا الكلام و يذكرني بمقولة لعلي ابو الحسن .
الإنسان عبد لله وحدة و سيد لكل شيء بعده .
يرى أوشو أيضًا ان حدس المرأة أفضل من الرجل و أعطى بذلك مثال بسيط كأن تشعر المرأة بعدم إرتياح للسفر في ذلك اليوم ثم تخبر زوجها بعد فترة يتبين لها ان الطائرة حطمت او خطفت ... الخ "لقد كان حسًا باطنيًا فحسب و هذا ليس بالحدس المكتمل بل ومضة حدسية منفردة ."
يبدو الكلام جيد لكن من ناحية علم نفس الحديث . ماذا لو كان الإحساس ناتج عن تراكم في الأفكار من الماضي و مترسبة بالاوعي ؟ ممكن لما لا
لكن أعتقد ان هذا شيء و ترسب الأفكار القديمة و الحكم على الأشياء الجديدة بمنظور قديم شيء آخر .
على أيه حال شخصيًا أؤمن بأن من رحمه الله تتجلى في الإلهام داخل قلوبنا . إلهام / بصيرة / فراسة . و هي و رزق من أرزاق الله يهبها لمن يشاء . ( رأي أوشو: ان الجميع لديه هذه الهبة لكن لعدم إستخدامها و إهمالها تتراجع قدراتها )
يقول أيضًا وهذا الجزء اعجبني اننا نضيع الفرص بسؤالنا المنطقي "ماهذا الهراء؟"او "هذا الشيء غير منطقي و سخيف!"
فعلاً قد يقول القلب شيئًا حقيقيًّا و نستهين بهذا الصوت بإحكام العقل عليه بالمنطق و الإثباتات . تم تكون الفرصة قد ذهبت وقتما نحن نحلل و نفرط في التفكير.
و يفرق بين "الشخص المنطقي" الذي لا يقبل إلا المنطق . و "الشخص العاقل" الذي يقبل بوجود الأشياء المنطقية و الغير منطقية كالحب مثلا .
يعقب على قصة أرخميدس "يوريكا يوريكا وجدتها وجدتها"
أن فكرة معرفة وزن الذهب من التاج عن طريق غمره بالمياة لم تكن من خلاصة فكرية و إنما حدسًا . لانه لم يعرف طعم النوم لأيام و عندما غطس "مسترخيا" في حمام ساخن أتته الومضة .
طبعًا هذه ليست القصة الوحيدة و من المعروف ان الحلول و الأفكار الجيدة تأتينا في وقت الإسترخاء كوقت الإستحمام او قبل وقت النوم ...
لماذا حوض الإستحمام ؟ لأنك مسترخ و الاسترخاء أساس التأمل عندما تسترخي تزول جميع التوترات ، المياه الساخنة و سكون الحمام و وحدتك .
فرط التفكير و فرط الرغبة في أن تسير الخطة كما هي مرسومة بالدقة ، الرغبة في ان يكون كل شيء تحت السيطرة و التملك و التحكم . يغيب معه العفوية ثم التمهل في الوصول إلى معنى الحياة و من ثم يحرم نفسه من الحياة التي من المفترض أن تعاش .
عمومًا من لا يريد التجربة في شيء جديد . لا أنصحه بقراءة الكتاب + و من يحب التجربة تحتاج صبر في قراءة معتقدات الآخرين التي لا نؤمن بها كمسلمين. بالإضافة هناك بعض الأفكار الشاطحة جدًا و الأخطاء العلمية مثل فصين الدماغ حمُل ما لا يٓحتمل . فأنتبه و تخطى ما لا يصح . أيضًا ذكر عن هتلر و إستخدامه للمنجمين بالحرب . لا أعلم عن مصداقية المعلومات .
-اعتقد هذا الملخص البسيط يغنيك عن قراءته -
سبب قراءتي الأول "الفهم" وهذه رغبة عقلية في فهم شيء لا علاقة له بالعقل
وفِي آخر الكتاب يقول "ماهذا الهوس بالفهم!"
و برأيه عند الفهم يتفقد الحياة معناها .
و إن الجمال و الحب و الشعائر الروحانية لا يمكن إدراكها إلا بالقلب لا بالعقل وهي ما تعطي الحياة معنى.
و عندما يوجد التفسير تختفي الشاعرية
" كأن التقدير و الحب لا يكفيان" و هذه رغبة القلب
حسنًا أوشو أنا متعايشة مع حدسي لكني فضولية بفهم ماذا يحدث .
هذا لا يعني أن لا أجرب أن أقرأ مؤلف آخر لأوشو . سأجرب مرة أخرى بإذن الله .

One of my favorite books of all time. Simple, honest, profound... Life changing.
April 24, 2013
Reviewing this book will never do it justice.
September 20, 2018
I was very excited about the idea of the book. However, I didn’t t like that in order to prove an idea or a point he was destroying another . The author kept condoning Religion and how it interferes with our ability to be in touch with our intuition, which I thought was absurd. In addition after reading about the author and his history, he lost his credibility in my opinion.

الغريب في كتب أوشو المليانة كلام فاضي الا ان في الكلام شي يشدني اقرأها وبين الكلام الدش ألاقي كلام مفيد وحكمة

Este é o terceiro livro que leio de Osho e não tenciono ficar por aqui...
Embora tenha começado a lê-lo em Agosto e terminado apenas em Novembro, a verdade é que o li depressa quando decidi lê-lo a sério!
No ano passado e neste ano que se encontra a terminar, deparei-me com vários episódios e pessoas da minha vida a chamarem-me à atenção para a importância da intuição, uma capacidade que todos nós temos, mas teimamos em ignorar... Porque não é algo lógico e muitas vezes (talvez até todas as vezes) não se explica no imediato. Sente-se e pronto.
Mais uma vez, Osho não desilude. Volve e revolve as nossas ideias, tendo inclusivamente a capacidade de nos surpreender... Até provocando uma inesperada gargalhada quando menos esperava.
Sem querer entrar em excessivos detalhes, mas procurando reforçar o facto de ter adorado este livro, sublinho, por exemplo, o interesse na diferença entre o hemisfério esquerdo e o hemisfério direito da nossa mente que o autor explora, a divisão dos seres humanos em três camadas (instinto-intelecto-intuição) é igualmente fascinante, sem esquecer as diferenças, as caracteristicas
e os esperados comportamentos de homem e mulher numa relação a dois, mas também na própria organização do mundo...
É excelente!

I was skeptical in reading this book as science still doesn’t know much about intuition. But wow Osho’s logic just makes you believe in every word he says. This book changed the way I see life.
Read
January 25, 2016soho characterises the new human being as "Zorba the Buddha", capable of enjoying both the earthly pleasures of Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of Gautama Buddha. According to reason, there are two realms of existence, the known and the unknown. Instinct is what belongs to the animal past, intellect is human, it is our present. Intuition on the other hand opens its doors through meditation. Instinct does not hear, it is deaf. Intellect will hear and philosophize. Intuition is a seer, it does not think. It sees the truth. Instinct is the power of unconscious nature, intuition is in the hands of the super conscious universe. Intellect is of the head, it it taught by others. It is not inborn. Intelligence is inborn. It is your very being, your very nature. Intelligence dies in imitating others. The animals got together in a forest one day and decided to start a school. The rabbit insisted that running should be part of the curriculum, the bird insisted on flying, the fish on swimming, the squirrel on perpendicular tree climbing. They insisted that all animals take all subjects. Although the rabbit was getting an A in running, perpendicular tree climbing was a problem for him. He kept falling over backward. Pretty soon he was brain damaged and could not run any more. The bird was beautiful at flying, but when it came to burrowing in the ground, he kept breaking his beak. The moment you compare yourself to others, you lose your natural potential. You will lose your clarity and vision. Intelligence is to relate with reality unprepared. Repitition is stupidity, it is cheap because you need not learn. Learning is arduous. Intelligence is the capacity to be reborn again and again. To die to the past is intelligence, and to live in the present is intelligence. All great discoveries, all great breakthroughs have come from beyond instinct and intellect. From Archimedes, to Albert Einstein to Marie Curie, scientific discoveries have arisen not out of the mind but beyond it, in meditation.. In Carlos Castaneda's book , Don Juan gives him an experiment . He asks him to run on a dark night, on a hilly track, dangerous, without any light. He says, you simply believe in the inner guide and start running. Don't walk, run! Castaneda found it simply suicidal, but his master ran off like a wild animal and then came running back. Castaneda gathered courage and felt that if the old man could do it, why not he. You only are when you stop thinking, the moment you stop thinking, the inner happens. The moment you start using reason to convince your inner guide is when reluctance starts creeping in. Great scients say that whenever a great discovery is made, it is never made by the mind but by the inner guide. It was when Madame Curie decided to stop worrying about the problem after 3 years of painstaking effort to solve a problem that the inner guide awakened. You cannot reach a truth through a master, you can reach only to the inner master through a master and then the inner master leads you to the truth. A guru will push you down from your intellect to your instinct, from your reasoning to your intuitive force, from your argumentative mind to your trusting guide.

Beyond mind is the no-mind. If you develop your no-mind, you will get in touch with your intuition.
Think about this: the mind wants you to be successful and the intuition wants you to be happy. You need to develop both.
The school system helps you to to develop your mind. The logic one. And that mind wants success first to be happy. But life does not work in that way, because sometimes success is not reach, or at least not in your expectations and you feel sad.
On the other hand, the no-mind wants happiness first to be successful. It is possible. If your are feeling happy doing your job and taking massive action, the results will come. And if the results are not coming, the happiness state will help you to think in new possibilities and to take massive action again and again.
This book will show you in detail how does this works, so that you can enjoy the emotional benefits in your life now.
You already know what your mind wants. Now it is the time to be curious and discover what is beyond logic with your no-mind.

Como sempre controverso, este livro é difícil para quem ainda não leu nada do Osho. Ele diz que temos instinto, intelecto e intuição, e que cada um desses é uma forma de inteligência. No entanto, supervalorizamos o intelecto, o que nos limita como seres humanos e nos impede de acessar uma forma superior de inteligência para muitas situações da vida, a intuição. Hoje a neurociência têm conseguido trazer entendimento às limitações do nosso racional. E a meditação continua ao nosso alcance, há milênios.

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!
