Book Description

July 7, 2009
Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring book, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. In The God Conspiracy, Osho offers a solution beyond Nietzsche — meditation, a direct connection with existence itself. Here he shows how Zen and meditation allow us to find meaning and significance, creativity, receptivity, and a path to freedom. Zen has no God, but it has a tremendous power to transform our consciousness, to bring so much awareness that committing evil becomes inconceivable. This book argues persuasively that transformation cannot be imposed, but must come from one’s innermost being and understanding.

More About the Author

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.


Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today.

His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-READ!, August 25, 2009
This review is from: The God Conspiracy: The Path from Superstition to Super Consciousness (Paperback)
I've been waiting to read a book like this for quite a long time!!

I think nobody has questioned the role of religious and political institutions as gracefully and wisely as Osho does in this book.

`Do not believe anything unless you have experienced it. Go on questioning, however long it takes. Religions are not capable of answering sceptical questions, they want only believers.' When I read these lines from the preface for the first time, I said to myself: `I have to buy this book!'

Religious institutions as well as politicians need believers. They create the picture of salvation and protection if you are loyal to unrealistic dogmas. The believers (actually the whole Humanity) that Osho mentions only find frustration because the real Truth is far away from those beliefs-concepts that the mind (Ego) recreates.

The only Truth that any human being recognises is the one that it is connected to your soul, your pure essence that in fact it is part of the Unique Essence of the Universe. And I completely agree with Osho when he says that meditation, silence, no-mind (no beliefs but only experience) opens the door to the real dance with the Existence- it is when you really experience life to the fullest!

This is one of the rare books that have the power to transform your life for good. Definitely A MUST-READ!

Thanks Osho for your inspirational words!

5.0 out of 5 stars OSHO: The God Conspiracy, August 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The God Conspiracy: The Path from Superstition to Super Consciousness (Paperback)
Length:: 1:41 Mins

The God Conspiracy exposes the age-old alliance of the politician and the priest against human freedom, joy, pleasure, comfort and luxury. The politician pays homage to the priest in order to legitimize his power, and the priest enforces the rules of individual behavior - all in the name of God.

It is one extreme to believe in God; it is another extreme not to believe in God. Osho is not about `belief, ' he is all about `experience' -- so that in the ideological debate about the existence of a supreme being, both atheism and theism become irrelevant.

It is through meditation that one can come to discover the universal truth of one's own consciousness -- and through this direct experience, to know that life itself is enough unto itself, does not need the fiction of any god. Once this is experienced inside at one ' s deepest core, one will never project the same superstitions again.

Authentic living , free of divisive belief systems based on fear and greed, does not need any god, does not need any priest, and does not need any prayer. All that it needs is an exploration of one's inner world , and a recognition of that inner world as the place where all divisions and belief systems disappear. That exploration Osho calls Zen, going inwards, reaching to the very point where we are connected to all that is divine in existence.

This experience and understanding creates a new human being and consciousness, which is so urgently needed today.

Books like The God Delusion by British biologist Richard Dawkins and God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens all demonstrate a growing understanding that the fictitious father figure of God might not be the most intelligent arrangement to determine the course of human affairs.

This book brings a transformation -- making us aware of the freedom and responsibility we have for ourselves and the environment of which we are part - here - now

This review is from: The God Conspiracy: The Path from Superstition to Super Consciousness (Paperback)
Osho is wonderful! This book is insightful, inspirational, and humorous as are all of his books, which are not his writings but live teachings to his disciples copied down in print. Osho was Totally Enlightened. He says what Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, etc. said but in a new style for a new age. Very positive. At the end of each chapter is a meditation on merging into the Oneness of Existence. A must have for those seeking authentic enlightenment.
