http://www.zengardner.com/life-and-death-and-love/ Life and Death and Love ConsciousnessEsotericaInspirationSpiritualityby Zen Gardner - Sep 15, 20135 102 Osho, Osho Times Waking Times Death is already happening. Death is an absolutely necessary process for life to be. It is not the enemy, it is the friend. Death is already happening. Whether you face it or not, whether you look at it or not, it is already there. It is just like breathing. When a child is born, he inhales. He breathes in for the first time. That is the beginning of life. And when one day he becomes old, dies, he will exhale. Death always happens with exhalation and birth with inhalation. But exhalation and inhalation are happening continuously. With each inhalation you are born; with each exhalation you die. So the first thing to understand is that death is not somewhere in the future, waiting for you, as it has been always pictured. It is part of life; it is an ongoing process-not in the future, here, now. Life and death are two aspects of existence. simultaneously happening together. Ordinarily, you have been taught to think of death as being against life. Death is not against life-life is not possible without death. Death is the very ground on which life exists. Death and life are like two wings: the bird cannot fly with one wing, and the being cannot be without death. So the first thing is a clear understanding of what we mean by death. Death is an absolutely necessary process for life to be. It is not the enemy, it is the friend. And it is not there somewhere in the future, it is here, now. It is not going to happen, it has been always happening. Since you have been here it has been with you. With each exhalation it happens-a little death, a small death-but because of fear we have put it in the future. The mind always tries to avoid things which it cannot comprehend, and death is one of the most incomprehensible mysteries. There are only three mysteries: life, death and love. All these three are beyond mind. So mind takes life for granted; then there is no need to inquire. That is a way of avoiding. You never think, you never meditate on life; you have simply accepted it, taken it for granted. It is a tremendous mystery. You are alive, but don’t think that you have known life. For death, mind plays another trick: it postpones it. To accept it here and now would be a constant worry, so the mind puts it somewhere in the future-then there is no hurry. When it comes, we will see. And for love, mind has created substitutes which are not love. Sometimes you call your possessiveness your love; sometimes you call your attachment your love; sometimes you call your domination your love-these are ego games. Love has nothing to do with them. In fact, because of these games, love is not possible. Between life and death, between the two banks of life and death, flows the river of love. And that is possible only for a person who does not take life for granted, who moves deep into the quality of being alive and becomes existential, authentic. Love is for the person who accepts death here and now and does not postpone it. Then between these two a beautiful phenomenon arises: the river of love. Life and death are like two banks. The possibility is there for the river of love to flow, but it is only a possibility. You will have to materialize it. Life and death are there, but love has to be materialized-that is the goal of being a human. Unless love materializes, you have missed-you have missed the whole point of being.

Yes, there is purpose. Familiar with this? http://www.amazon.com/42-Amazingly-Accurate-Universe-Everything/dp/1907616128"]42: Douglas Adams' Amazingly Accurate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything: Peter Gill: 9781907616129: Amazon.com: Books The answer to that question is actually one of the very specific reasons why we exist (our purpose). Here's a picture of 42 Every dream needs a foundation to stand upon, and be built upon. Dream those dreams, dream until your dream comes true (made real).
Purpose (of the Universe, and existence of human beings) is one of my favorite things to talk about. 42 is comedic to me .. table for two, table for two. I laugh every time. My mother and father had their table for two (now here I am!). I think they certainly did love each other, on some level, even though they did not remain as mates for life. I didn't read the post about death yet. Going to read it now.
It's important to have a good memory of your parents. My father and mother. Did love themselves for sometime but divorced, but got a good memory of them,now THEY'RE both long gone, but they did ok. Purpose being goal oriented, forces one to live in the FUTURE., and not live the present, miss it altogether. To otros will be another day, do you need to do TODAY, not live in yesterday that's gone, and tomorrow that has not yet come. TODAY is the moment, Time does not exist, it is infinite
There is a much LONGER Osho talk on time, but I found this except Individual Audio-libro Comprar € 1,48 Grace Is Being Herenow Track #6 of the Series, Zen: The Path of Paradox, Vol. 3 Osho, How may I live gracefully in time? In my times? "Grace comes out of eternity. Grace is never a part of time. Time creates hurry, time creates tension, time creates anxiety. The more you are conscious of time, the more neurotic you will be. Time is a neurosis. When you are not conscious of time at all, when there is no past and no future, when time is irrelevant to you, when you are just herenow, grace arises. "Grace is part of the eternal. Grace is a quality of God – and God is not in time. In time is mind, in time is ego, in time is misery, hell. The way of the meditator is how to go beyond time, how to drop time, how to become oblivious of time."

Clock time is perfectly okay, utilitarian. If you have to catch a train, you have to remember the clock time. But that is not a problem. That doesn't create anxiety, that doesn't destroy your grace. The clock is perfectly okay in its own way. But when you become entangled in psychological time, then you lose grace. "What is psychological time? To live in the past is psycho-logical time. And then out of it arises another problem: one starts living in the future. Past starts projecting itself into the future. You had some experience yesterday, you would like to have it again tomorrow. You had some experience yesterday that you did not like, and you don't want to have it again tomorrow. The tomorrow comes out of the modifications of yesterday. It is a refined version of yesterday, of all your yesterdays. "What are you hoping for in your life in the future? What are you going to do tomorrow, or the next year, or the next life? Sometime look into it – what are you going to do? And you will find your whole past clamoring to be repeated – in a better way, of course. Some depressing moments have to be dropped, some dark corners have to be made light, some ugly states are not to be repeated again, some faults not to be committed – and some joys have to be strengthened, prolonged, made more joyful. "Your future has been chosen from the past, so in these two you are entangled. Either you are entangled in the past, thinking of that which is no more, or thinking of that which is not yet. And meanwhile you are missing the present. And the present is part of eternity. The present is not part of time at all. "Be herenow and grace comes of its own accord. "Whenever you are herenow, suddenly you will find tremendous grace, harmony, equilibrium, a melody in your being, a tranquillity – and a tranquillity that has not been forced from the outside, a tranquillity that is not part of any discipline, a tranquillity that is not quiescence, a tranquillity that is not a kind of managed stillness." OSHO
Performing samyama on the present moment, the moment gone, and the moment to come brings kwoledge born of the awareness of the ultimate reality. What is time? Now Patanjali asks the timeless question, the perennial question and he comes to it at the very end of Vibhuti pada because to know time it the greatest miracle. To know what time is, is to know what life is. To know what time is to know what truth is. Before we enter into the sutras, many things have to be understood; they will become an introduction to the sutras. Ordinarily what we call time is not real time. It is chronological time. So remember that time can be divided, classified, in three ways. One is "chronological," another is "psychological," and the third is "real." CHRONOLOGICAL TIME The chronological time is clock time. it is utilitarian; it is not real. It is just a belief agreed upon by society. We have agreed to divide the day into twenty-four hours. It is very arbitrary that the earth moves in one complete circle on its axis in twenty-four hours; Then we have decided to divide each hour into sixty minutes. there is no intrinsic necessity to to divide it that way. Some other civilization may divide it in a different way. We can divide the hour into a hundred minutes and nobody is going to prevent us. Then each minute we have divided into sixty seconds. that too is arbitrary, just utilitarian. It is clock time. It is needed; otherwise society will fall apart. Something as a common standard is a necessity--just like money, currency money. A hundred -rupee note, a ten dollar bill, or anything else--it is just a common belief that the society has agreed to use. But it has nothing to do with existence. When man is not there on the earth, clocks may go on chiming time, but it will not be time at all. Nobody will bother, nobody will look at them. Clock time will stop immediately if man is not there; so it is man-created, a social by-product. The higher a society moves--and when I say "higher" I mean the more complex it becomes obsessed with chronological time, A primitive man has no use for a watch. If you present him a watch, he will be simply puzzled, for what? What is he going to do with it? a civilized man cannot live without a watch. It is almost impossible to live in a civilized society without a watch because the whole society runs acording to the watch, even sometimes to ridiculous states. Once the chronological time is taken too seriously then one forgets everything else. The whole West is obsessed with time too much. Everything has to be done on time. In England you hear expressions like "teatime", "dinnertime", "lunchtime." With chronological time, the world of the expert has come into existence, becasue you have lost your roots into reality. For everything you have to ask somebody, people come to ask how do they feel. How you are feeling you have to know. But I understand. The touch the contact, the connectedness with reality is lost. Even how you are feeling you have to go ask somebody who knows. You have to rely on somebody else. This is unfortunate ,but it has happened in slow steps and humanity has not been aware. CHRONOLOGICAL TIME IS NOT BEING USED NOW. IT IS NO LONGER A MEANS; IT HAS ALMOST BECOME AN END. Remember, it is false time. It has nothing to do with reality. PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME DEEP DOWN FROM IT, JUST UNDERNEATH IT, IS ANOTHER TIME WHICH IS NOT REAL, BUT MORE REAL THAN THE CHRONOLOGICAL TIME; that is psychological time. There is a clock, biological clock, within you. More than men, women are alert to it. they will also not be alert for very long because they are trying in eveyway to imitate men. Still their body functions as a clock. Psychological time is your inner time; and we live in the chronological time altogether ,the Greenwhich time--it is not personal. Psychological time is personal, and each has his own. If you are happy, your sense of time slows down. If you are not unhappy, time lengthens. If you are deep in meditation time stops. In fact in the East we have been measuring states of mind through time. If time stops completely, then the state of bliss. If time slows down very much, then the state is of misery. The psychological time is personal. You have yours, your wife has hers, your son his, and all are different. that is one of the causes of conflict in the world. Man has moved to chronological time; the woman lives in psychological time still. The child lives in a totally different world. the child has his own psychological time, completely unhurried, almost in a dream. He cannot understand you, you cannot understand him. You aare far apart; there is no way to bridge. When an old man is talking to a child, he is talking from another planet--it never reaches the child. The child cannot see why there is so much hurry, for what? Psychological time is absolutely personal. That's why chronological time has become important, otherwise where to meet, how to function, how to be efficient? If everybody comes to the office at his own feeling, then it is impossible to run an office. If everybody comes to the station at his own time, the trains can never leave. Something arbitrary has to be fixed. The chronological time is history, and the psychological time is myth.That is the difference between history an Myth. In the West history is written, in he East Myth. The truth is never news because it is always there. It does not happen; it has already happened. Untruth is news. You will not find more futile and superficial people than journalists. they have a knack for finding out useless things. Journalists are impotent politicians. Politicians make news; journalists collect news. Journalists are like shadows to politicians. That's why newspapers are full of politicians; from this end to that, from the begining to the end, just politics, politics, politics. A journalist is one who has failed in making news, now he collects them. THE CHRONOLOGICAL TIME CORRESPONDS TO THE BODY, PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME TO THE MIND, REAL TIME TO YOUR BEING. One has to pass through the psychological. that territory has to be passed fully alert. you should not make yur abode there. It is a bridge to be passed; you should not make your abode there. If you make yur abode there you become mad. that's what has happened to many who are in madhoues. They have forgotten chronological time, they have not reached real time ,and they have started liing in the bridge, the psychological time. A madman lives in a private world, and the man you call sane lives in a public world. the public world is just confined to yourself; but the real world is neither public or private. It is universal, it is beyond both. And one has to go beyond both. The primitive societies live in the psychological time. The East has lived in the psychological time; the West lives in the chronological time. If you move farther into the primitive societies hidden behind the hills and the forests ,deep, you will see the live abolutely in psyhological time. there are a few primitive societies in which dreams is more important than reality, and the first thing a child has to do before breakfast is to relate his dream to his elders. The first thing is psychoanalysys. The dream has to be related to his elders before brerakfast , and they all gather together and they analyze the dream. And then they tell the child to do something, because the dream is symbolic and it shows that something is needed to be done. EXISTENTIAL TIME And the third is real time, existential. The real time is no time at all, because the real time is eternal. Time, real time--is not a process. it is simultaneity. Future, past, resent are not three separate things; it is eternal NOW, it is eternity It is not that time is passing by your side Time IS, it is not a process. If you can see time through th eyes of SATORI ,samadhi ,time dissapears. But this is the last miracle; after it there is only KAIVALYA ,liberation. When time dissapears, everything dissapears because the whole world of desire ,ambition, motivation is there because of the wrong conception of time. time is created; time as a process--past, present, future--is created by desiring. This is one of the great insights of the Easter sages: that time ,the process is really a projection of desire. Because you desire something, you create future. And because you cling, you create past. Because you can no longer leave that which is no longer before you ,and you want to cling to it- you create memory. One who has come to know the ultimate., becoming aware of time. When time dissapears and eternity surrounds you ,when time is no longer a process but a pool of energy, eternal now then you become capable of entering into things and of knowing without definitions from the outside. Real time is existence ,science and religion. Science is trying to penetrate the existence through the objective approach; and religion tries to penetrate thesame reality through the subjective approach; and yoga is the synthesis of both.

Osho said, The world can listen to him or go to Hell. At the time, Reagan was president. He was asked if he had a message for Americans. Osho responded by saying .. denounce war, get rid of nukes and if somebody invades the United States, to welcome it. Obviously, the world didn't listen to him. As for Hell, in 2001 (post 9/11 .. which was the call to God) Blue Oyster Cult released this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn-6dO4Bh3k"]Blue Oyster Cult: The Old Gods Return - YouTube
I awoke to Eternity years ago. To awaken is really just remembering. We remember Eternity. Literally. It's true .. Eternity is now. Eternity is all there is. It is every yesterday, every tomorrow. Only have to "wake up" to it (remember).

That's funny! Last year, I started to learn Hindi and I found out that the head shake is produced by getting the pronunciation of the words correct. Every time I said a few words correctly my head would shake! lol Here's an Indian cooking channel on YT https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVeggieDelight/featured
