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."

4.0 out of 5 stars Climb the ladder, July 23, 2007

This review is from: From Sex to Super Consciousness (Paperback)

In 5 days discourse, Osho delivers a solid foundation, showing that the basis of our obvious compulsion with sex and sexuality is founded in the creation of false taboos and restrictive suppressive frameworks of so called religions conflicting with suggestive marketing and advertising. Osho makes it perfectly clear that our western society is far out of order, and we will be very well served when we open up the dialog about sex and accept and embrace our deep inner longing for love, intimacy and unity. We are invited to begin to utilize sex as a means to persue this true longing and to see that our compulsive fascination with irresponsible pleasure is best replaced with a healthy sacred approach to sexuality. Sex is the bottom rung (perhaps the bottom 10 rungs) on the ladder to the divine, it must be understood, stood upon, over stood, and explored before any higher consciousness can manifest... It is very dangerous and rather pointless to try to jump up and grab the upper rungs of a ladder, when the ladder was intelligently and logically constructed to bear our weight on each rung in sequence...
