provacative and convicting

In the style of many spiritual teachers, Osho grabs his reader's attention with his counter-intuitive declarations. For this reason it is absolutely necessary to continue reading through his entire thought development in order not to conclude the exact opposite of his meaning. This is a work worth one's time and effort.

Pathbreaking work

To me, it was enlightening. OSHO is one of the greatest mystic and deals with everything with excellent logic and scientific attitude. No prejudice and old beliefs. It starts from scratch discussing about sex-energy and how to use and transform into a greater reality....love and meditation. A treat to the reader. Specially, I think every traditional people and old religion like hinudism, jainism, mohammedanism, christianity should read it atleast once.

Truly important book

Sex is the strongest energy we can produce as humans "out of the box". We can learn techniques over time to recreate that wonderful state of superconsciousness, through magick, through meditation,... but sex will always be at the core. We are born out of it, it is our primary experience of the dualism of I and other. Understanding the dynamics surrounding it, and the oppression of individual freedom through the association of guilt and shame with sex, which our society has upheld for thousands of years in order to ensure the slow and steady flow of evolution, understanding and overcoming these dynamics appears to be a root responsibility of every individual on the path to superhconsciousness.

Lessons from Osho

In this book, Osho teaches us that sex is more then a physical compulsion between to people towards gratification. And after we realize this, we can then begin to explore new levels of sexual experience with our partners. Through understanding, insight a free mind we discover new worlds with not only our bodies, but our innerselves.
