Una nueva arca de Noé

by Osho

Ante una situación de crisis generalizada, Osho nos propone construir un «arca de Noé de la conciencia» para liberarnos de aquellos valores caducos que no nos dejan avanzar. Parece que día tras día la Humanidad se acerque cada vez más a lo que se ha denominado «la gran extinción»: el cambio climático se está acelerando a un ritmo alarmante; la globalización, por otro lado, no ha cumplido sus promesas de acercar a la gente y crear una sociedad más abierta, inteligente e inclusiva, todo lo contrario; y las instituciones públicas, que deberían velar por un mundo más justo, no hacen más que agravar esta situación de crisis. La presente edición está formada por una serie de charlas en las que Osho propone la creación de una suerte de «arca de Noé de la conciencia», que nos permitirá superar todos aquellos valores antiguos y caducos que nos han llevado a esta situación, y ser más conscientes de la realidad tal y como es. Osho también nos enseña que el único momento que podemos vivir es el ahora, solo así hallaremos la fuerza necesaria para superar estos tiempos tan difíciles.

About the author

Rajneesh (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.
