Osho wake up to the world

Since the beginning of history: humanity is in a coma

Since the dawn of human history, most humans have lived in a state of mental coma, without true self-awareness. Man evolved from animals that are in deep sleep, continuing his existence in a vague and limited consciousness. Throughout the ages, only a rare few dared to open their eyes and look at reality clearly, choosing the path of awakening and enlightenment. Figures like Buddha, Socrates and Jesus are a few examples of those brave who shed the shackles of sleep and led a life of full alertness.

Investing in sleep: the difficulty of detaching from illusions

The emotional and mental investment of the person in the state of sleep is enormous. Like the beggar who dreams of being a rich and happy emperor, we too cling with all our might to familiar and comfortable illusions. Our resistance to awakening stems from the fear of losing the false security that dreams provide us, even when they are far from reality. We prefer to remain in the false comfort of the unconscious, than face the challenges of awareness and personal responsibility.

Wars and violence: consequences of ignorance

The incessant wars, conflicts and violence in our world are clear evidence that humanity has not yet awakened. As long as we are trapped in sleep, we act out of low impulses and passions, lack of understanding and selfish greed. The destructive results of this behavior are clearly visible in the complex and chaotic reality we experience. If we want to prevent further destruction and ensure a safe and healthy future for future generations, we must increase our efforts to raise our collective awareness.

Politics and lies: the ego as a central motive

In a comatose world, politics and leadership are also driven by ego and low needs. A stimulating person, free from the illusions of the ego, cannot be a politician in the conventional sense. He is unable to lie, make false promises or deceive the public for the benefit of his political survival. True leadership should arise from a place of inner truth, integrity and goodwill, and not from selfish ambitions for power and power.

The desire to go down in history: an animal instinct

The human urge to immortalize ourselves in the pages of history, to leave a mark and a legacy, has its roots deeply rooted in our animal instincts. Like a dog that marks trees to declare its ownership of the territory, we also want to “mark” the world with our presence, to leave an indelible impression. However, this aspiration stems from ignorance of our true nature and the essence of existence. As we awaken, we will realize that our true being goes far beyond the temporary personal identity and the need for external recognition.

The nationalities as an unnecessary marking of territory

The countries, nationalities and borders we created are also a form of artificial and unnecessary territory marking. The separation between peoples and cultures stems from fear, suspicion and a desire for control, and does not reflect the deeper reality of the unity and mutual connection between all human beings. The more we develop and rise above the narrow needs of the ego, the greater will be the recognition that we are one human family, sharing a common home on earth. The time has come to remove the imaginary partitions and live in harmony, out of mutual respect and understanding.

The path to awakening: developing awareness and courage

The first step on the road to awakening is developing self-awareness and the courage to look within. We must break away from identification with the ego and the inferiority complexes that feed it, and rediscover our true nature. It is a gradual process of self-exploration, of honest confrontation with our fears and pains, and of releasing the grip on limiting images and habits. The deeper we go into this process, the more we can connect to the inner source of peace, wisdom and love within us, and project them to the world.

Striving for a harmonious life and connection to nature

The awakening invites us to live in harmony with ourselves, with those around us and with nature. We must relearn the language of unity and connection, beyond the divisive and alienating impulses. Nature is an inspiration and a model for a balanced life, where every creature fulfills its role with humility and gratitude. The more we reconnect with the earth, the plants and the animals, the more we will remember our natural place in the fabric of life, and we will be able to live in an ecological consciousness of reciprocity and a positive impact on the planet.

A life of deep meaning and purpose

Real awakening requires a transition from a life of survival and satisfaction of superficial needs, to a life of meaning and realizing potential. We must discover the deep reason for our existence, the unique gifts and talents we have to offer the world. Instead of pursuing external material success and social status, we must cultivate the life of the soul and spirit, invest in inner development and a real contribution to our environment. The more we live from our heart and truth, the richer and more fulfilling our lives will be.

Small steps towards big change

The process of awakening is a long and slow journey that requires perseverance and determination. We cannot change the world overnight, but each of us can contribute in our own unique way. Every small act of kindness, empathy and acceptance of the other strengthens the conscious field of all of us and moves us another step towards the vision. Even on a personal level, when we face our deepest fears, release old angers and open our hearts, we contribute to overall change.

An invitation to a shared awakening

The collective awakening of the human race is the greatest challenge of our time. In an era of global crises and existential threats, we have no choice but to grow and develop. We must join forces, learn from each other, and dare to dream together about a new future. When we walk together on the path of awakening, connected to the heart and the shared vision, no obstacle will stand in our way. So let’s go on a journey, transform sleep into awareness and separation into unity. This is our opportunity to be a light to the world, and to create a new and wonderful reality.
