Osho’s Code

By Arman • January 23rd, 2009 Bookmark / share this post

I have finished reading “Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic” by Osho. What a beautiful and intelligent man. An agent of radical change. As usual, I modeled him as I read, so here is his code (see below for a short intro to modeling):

  1. I am not going to tolerate anything that is wrong to my conscience.
  2. God is not a thing but a process.
  3. Everything belongs to me.
  4. Whatsoever the consequences, I am not going to be deviated from myself.
  5. Don’t give me advice, – I want to learn on my own, – life has to be learned through trial & error.
  6. If I accept death, there is no fear. Only life creates worry.
  7. I am not here, I am a nobody, nothingness.
  8. Never to allow an unintelligent thing to be imposed upon me, to fight against all kinds of stupidities, whatsoever the consequences. Be rational, logical to the very end.
  9. Be more and more alert, so I don’t end up being just intellectual.
  10. When I do something, I do it to the very end.
  11. What is gone is gone, – I never look back.
  12. I am not a man who can be stopped.
  13. I am satisfied with something very simple – the very best of things.

Modeling forms the heart of NLP. It is a process of extracting the recipe, the blueprint behind repeatable success. Such recipe typically consists of patterns of beliefs, psychosomatic states and specific behaviors. When modeling from a book, only beliefs are visible (the other two require being with the person), so that is what I have listed above.

Osho was a most wonderful man, and a teacher of the highest order I think.
For someone coming/reading this material without having exposure to Osho’s work, I will say that when he says he is the world, do NOT read it as arrogant and self centered but rather SELF centered and the sense of identity being beyond just the body.
I believe that as consioussness grows, the sense of “who I am” also grows until the point it encompasses the universe ..

I think what M is trying to say is that when Osho says “I’m the world”, he also says “I am not here, I am a nobody, nothingness” (#7 of Armand). It may seem contradictory but he has gone beyond it, he has integrated both truths.

Osho developed what he called active meditations. I’ve practiced several of them and they are very powerfull because his practices of breathwork, movement and stillnes, enables the entrance to a state of “No mind” and the activation of the kundalini. I believe that there must be some similarities with 5 rhythms.

Good clarifications, its sometimes hard to language that which is by its nature beyond language.

%rhythms was deeply influenced by the work of Osho and sufi dervishes, so you see those threads deeply entangled, just as all paths link up anyways :)

cheers
