About the author
Osho
4,285 books6,791 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

قرأت كتاب شمس الوعي واستمتع به
يتحدث الكتاب عن السوترات التسع .. المراحل التسع لليوغا والمتأملين.. مراحل معرفة الانسان للأنا ووصوله لذاته, ثم تضييعها والتحرر منها ,للوصول للمرحلة العليا
المراحل كالاتي
ان اساس الكون هو الطاقه
للطاقه بعدان.. وجود وعدم وجود
للجود نوعان .. وعي ولاوعي
كل شيء مرتبط بالأخر .. كل الكون مرتبط فطاقه الكون واحدة
الموجود في الذرة موجود في الكون .. اذن لا معنى لشعور النقص او التشامخ
ليس دائما الصغير متلق والكبير معط
للوعي بعدان ... ذاتي , لا ذاتي ( المدرك لوجوده او غير المدر ) ز
للوصول للتنوير ان يكون واعيا ذتيا
انكار وتواضع الذات
السوترا الثامنه ايجاد الذات ثم تضييعها .. لا يوجد شيء اسمه الأنا .. مجرد حدود وضعناها وجدران
سوترا التاسعه طاقه الموت .. فكما للحياة طاقه للموت طاقة
أحببت الكتاب .. ووجدت عدة نقاط تلفت النظر لأمور مهمه بحياتنا .. لكن يوجد أيضا بعض النقط التي لم أفهمها .. وبعض أخرى لم أوافق رأي الكاتب عليها
الكتاب يشعرك بأنك تحضر ندوة أو مؤتمر أكثر من كونك قارئ .. أحببت مخاطبه الكاتب للقارئ والقصص التي رواها والأمثله
استمتعت بالكتاب .. اقتنيه من معرض كتاب دمشق 2017

My fav quotes:
They said, ”This tree is useless. To cut it is a waste of energy.” The disciples returned and told Lao Tzu, ”The secret is that the tree is useless. The wood is not straight and also it emits much smoke. Even the leaves are not useful as any medicine. Even animals do not eat these leaves. This tree is absolutely useless.” Lao Tzu told them, ”Blessed is this tree. Its branches did not try to become straight and hence they are saved from being cut. The trees that are making efforts to become straight... can you see? They are being cut. The leaves of this tree have not tried to become something, did not try to become tasteful, and hence they are, and are in total bliss. Lao Tzu said, ”This is my method too. No one could ever defeat me because I did not want to win. For ever and ever I am defeated and hence it is difficult to defeat me.
