'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
In this compelling exploration of emotional life, Osho delves into the unconscious—the hidden basement of the mind where repressed emotions like anger, guilt, fear, and jealousy reside.
Osho's unique insight into the human mind and heart goes far beyond conventional psychology. He teaches us to experience our emotions fully and to deal with them creatively in order to achieve a richer, fuller life.
Discover:
- The impact that fear, anger, and jealousy have on our lives
- How emotions like guilt, insecurity, and fear are used to manipulate us
- How to break out of unhealthy responses to strong emotions
- How to transform destructive emotions into creative energy
- The role of society and culture on our individual emotional styles
"Unconsciousness is the basement of the mind. In your unconscious many things are buried which find expression through your conscious. For example, millions of people watch boxing or football matches and really get excited; and they never think about what they are watching. In boxing they are watching sheer violence. But there is enjoyment; this is the expression of hidden violence in you.
Society has managed man with an absolutely wrong strategy. The idea of the society has been, that if something is thrown into the basement, into the darkness of the unconscious, you are finished with it. That is not the case. You are not finished with it. It will come up in different form -- and with a vengeance. And it will go on collecting."
"Suppression has been the way, for the whole history, to keep man civilized -- but in fact, it has been the cause of keeping man only superficially civilized, skin-deep civilized. Just scratch anybody a little and you will find the barbarous, the primitive, the animal, all hidden behind him."
