God is dead: Now Zen is the only living truth
Osho puts the finishing touches to his portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche with answers to disciples' questions on the work, vision and madness of this controversial philosopher. It is a perfect companion to Osho's two-volume Zarathustra series.

God is something to be experienced, not learned.

(Not Spoiler but encourager)
What to say...just felt it.
I felt right before Nietzche's great book described by beloved Osho.
Osho has given discourse a great philosophy with subtle remarks.
what a genius human Nietzche was and what an unlucky human as well. Unlucky in terms of not saving his mind in his last.
Osho tells he was half, deprivation of meditation did not give him enlightenment and not been perfect.
God - the thing, is a total lie/poison/fantasy/conspiracy "what" is ruling the world. Heaven/hell is manipulation to earn money and power.
Understand Osho, understand the inner circle.
Naman to Nietzche and Osho.
Great book, go read it or listen.

My fav quotes (not a review):
I have heard about one very famous atheist. He died, and his wife brought his best clothes, best shoes, before he was put in the coffin – the best tie, the costliest possible. She wanted to give him a good farewell, a good send-off. He was dressed as he had never dressed in his whole life. And then friends came, and neighbors came. And one woman said, ”Wow! He’s all dressed up and nowhere to go.” He was an atheist, so he did not believe in God, he did not believe in heaven, he did not believe in hell – nowhere to go, and so well-dressed!

As with every other book, Osho is as clear as a crystal with the concepts he tries to explain. This book has interpretations to Nietzsche's statements and to zen concepts. Interspersed in between these explanations are the answers to theological questions from his sannyasins.
