I was enamored with him then and still am today. <br /><br />I tended to do this with him and others that came later: I'd "borrow" the teacher's realization. I laugh at it now. Wondering why what happened to them, their waking up experiences, wasn't happening to me exactly the same way. It was like getting so caught up on the finger instead of seeing where it was pointing to!<br /><br />It wasn't until I "killed" Osho that I saw that it wasn't about his experience at all. I got caught up in the finger. No, this was about me, my waking up, and how it is perfectly unfolding. And I see that my self-discovery was helped along by Osho and various other teachers but it was when I stopped trying to use their teachings as some blueprint for my own awakening I saw the perfection of life and my own experience.<br /><br />And nowadays I find that everything is the teacher. Life is the teacher. Also, I smile because I recognize those past teacher's words and what they were pointing to as my own words, it's my own seeing now...and it's fresh and brand-new every moment.lintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983240141612461842noreply@blogger.com
