 Tedious Read! September 26, 2008

This was my first time reading Osho: I bought the book for an assignment on my favourite subject, which was what the book was about. I found the book content tedious to read because the author's mother language was obviously not English:The book seemed to have been put together as an after thought. While there were a select few gems of wisdom, Osho does tend to philosophise and waffle on endlessly: great if you live in a Utopian society, but I found most of his waffle had little to do with reality. Yes, of course we could all be walking around in bliss, but he didn't really elaborate on how that can be achieved. He mentioned that he doesn't advocate preaching rules as everyone is different, and that is all fine and well, but he didn't really tell me how to do anything different.All he had to offer (as far as I am concerned)is philosophical waffling piffle, which is no better than what alot of gurus out there are doing: taking your money and giving nothing back to the reader except lofty ideas and pretty,inspiring words, which as this book shows more often than not, has little to do with reality!By the time I got to the end, I didn't even bother with the enclosed CD, I was just glad I had got to the end of the boredom.

The concept of BODY MIND BALANCING is that our thoughts and ideas have been trained to be one way, while our bodies operate naturally, which generally puts the two at odds. The harder you try to force them together, the more they fight each other. This book hopes to help you find a way to balance them, so that you can function at your highest level mentally, physically, and emotionally. It only follows naturally that if each person could reach their best level, the world as a whole would be better.
This book requires that you keep an open mind. I also found that you have to be willing to take the author with a large grain of salt. There are times when he seems to be overly impressed with his own intelligence and message. He seems to have some issues with major religions in general. Also, not all of his ideas are completely real world practical.
If you can get past those things you'll find that the author makes some very good points in this book. Many of them seem so simple and obvious it's hard to imagine that we don't automatically behave that way. I especially liked the idea/realization that your body knows what it wants and when it wants it. To give it different things when it doesn't want them seems absurd, yet we all do it every day.
Included with the book is a meditation CD. I'm not sure I can review it for you. All guided meditation attempts seem to put me to sleep. Unless it was actually just a really deep state of meditation, in which case, it worked!

the attached meditation is great shame about the voice but you get used to it. it gets you in touch with your body as an insider which is great becos it means u have been able to switch of your mind.
The book is even better it explains in depth in a way that is understandable even for those who are sceptical. Explaining how are body sends us signals to let us know something is not wrong that we need to look deeply. i love all osho books this is a great tool.
