In Search of the Miraculous: Chakras, Kundalini & the Seven Bodies
Osho writes in a style which is clear, simple and often humorous.
Guiding the reader through the seven bodies and their corresponding chakras, Osho talks on psychic phenomena, dreams, telepathy, hypnosis, color therapy, Dynamic Meditation, Kundalini, mediums, gurus, and the Tantric dimension of sex. "I am talking about very scientific things," he says, "not something belonging to religious superstitions."

About the author
Osho
4,353 books6,775 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.

تحرّك! كُن حركياً! ومهما فعلتَ، افعله بحُبّ كي يكون العمل مُبدعاً ومُقدّساً. أنا لا أقول إنكم جميعاً يجب أن تُصبحوا رسامين وشعراء، فهذا غير مُمكن، ولا حاجة له أيضاً. قد تكوني ربة منزل، فيكون طهوك مُبدعاً. قد تكون صانع أحذية، فيكون صنعك الأحذية مُبدعاً. مهما فعلتَ, افعله بالكليّة، بحُبّ, بعاطفة، تعمّق فيه بحيث يكون عملك ليس من الخارج. أنت تتحرّك وتتقدّم مع عملك, فيُصبح عملك إنجازاً مرضياً. عندها أنا أدعوك إنساناً مُتديناً. إنّ الإنسان المُتدين صاحب الوعي الديني مُبدع بشدة.

تقول ( ساهاجا) يوغا: اعرف ما أنت عليه، ولا تحاول أن تبتعد عنه بوصة واحدة، لا تحاول أن تكون مختلفاً عن ذلك ولو بأقل طريقة. في اللحظة التي تُصبح فيها على علم تام بالأشياء التي تتكون منها شخصيتك : آثامها واَلامها ، بؤسها وعذابها ، اشتياقها وأحلامها ، جنتها ونارها، فستقفز على الفور من أجل الخروج من ذلك، وستكون حراً منه في كل وقت من الأوقات، وستكون بعيداً عنه تماماً.
أنّ ما يقع خارج حدود الموت، يقع أيضاً خارج الحياة. لذلك لا نستطيع ان نقول إن الإله حي. فهذا قولٌ غير منطقي ، لأنه ليس تحت سلطة الموت وبالتالي هو خارج حدود الحياة. إنّ الحياة ترتبط بالموت ، ولا يمكن يتواجد أحدهما دون الآخر . إنّ الإله ليس له حياة وإنما له وجود ، بل إنه على الأرجح هو الوجود. بطبيعة الحال ، ولأننا كائنات حية فنحن أحياء ولدينا حياة، ويكون موتنا عندما نعود إلى الوجود

My fav quotes (not a review):
-Page 90 |"Meditators should always be wary of security. Security is the greatest web of attachment for a meditator."
-Page 146 "Surgery developed in the West because there they bury their dead. In a place like India where the body is burned this was not possible. And you will be surprised to know that this research came about with the help of thieves, so they would steal the dead bodies and sell them to the physicians for research and studying."
-Page 156 "Small children catch thought waves very quickly because their receptivity is very sharp. Seat a child in a dark room in one corner and tell him to concentrate on you for five minutes. Tell him that you will tell him something in silence and he should try and listen. If he hears it he should repeat what he heard. Then you choose a word, say Rama. Now concentrate on the child and repeat this word within yourself until it resounds in you. Do not say it aloud. In two to three days’ time, you will find that the child has caught the word."
-Page 197 "if the male body unites externally with a female body, coitus takes place; if the male body unites with its own inner female body, then also sex takes place."

It is a very wonderful book by Osho. He talks about a few wonderful meditation techniques. Not sure if it is in this book or another book of his, I have read and practiced a meditation technique which was very powerful.
There are a couple of concepts he spoke which are esoteric, but otherwise, the book is a wonderful read if you want to clear the mind from being a nebulous entity. Very wonderful book to become meditative. I haven't done the Dynamic Meditation talked about all through the book, however, just the talks which clear our mind from lots of confusion and social conditioning works in favor of one becoming meditative.
The Dynamic Meditation techniques mentioned sound very powerful.

الكتاب كان شوي دسم بالنسبه لي .
رغم ان فكره الكتاب بسيطه جداً.. كان يتكلم عّن التامل وطريقة اوشو لإيقاظ طاقة الكواندليني.
لكن عموما الكتاب جداً قيم للباحثين عن تقنيات للتأمل - المهتمين بطاقة الكواندليني - التنفس 🍃.

This book in particular contained a lot of concepts that I'm personally not too intrigued by Bhagwan often presented himself as a mirror but some of his techniques don't work for me personally which he himself said is fine everyone needs to find one's own techniques and paths

هذا الكتاب هو النفس العميق بحد ذاته..
لأول مرة وددت ألا أصل إلى الغلاف الآخر لكتاب أعني النهاية.

أول كتاب أقرؤه لهذا الكاتب الصوفي الروحاني. الكتاب يتحدث عن التأمل ويفصل فيه، ويحتوي الكتاب على بعض الحكم الفلسفية.

يتناول أوشو في كتابه البحث عن العجائب، موضوع الطاقة الكامنة لكل فرد منا، وكيف إن المسألة المصيرية ليست في عملية حفظ هذه الطاقة بل طريقة إيفاظها واستخدامها. فيدعو لإطلاق هذه الطاقة لنسبح في بحورها ونتحرر من التقيد بالقديم البالي لنسعى للتجديد.

Mis comentarios sobre el Libro "En Busca de la Trascendecia" por Osho.
En su titulo original In search of the Miraculous.
Un libro que por medio de un dialogo de preguntas y respuestas, que hacen referencia a una de sus charlas y luego a comentarios extendidos de modo exclusivo, en el libro encontramos cuales son los comentarios y respuestas que brinda Osho ante metaforas, explicaciones, y conceptos que tiene sobre la vida, meditación, energia, Kundalini, religión, etc.

Uno de los libros más esotéricos de Osho.
Explica en detalle muchos de los aspectos más relevantes con respecto a lo espiritual y también lo psíquico.
