Love your body -- this is your body, this is a gift from god ...
Love your body -- this is your body, this is a gift from god. (OSHO)
You have a certain idea about how the body should be, and if you have some idea you will be in misery. The body is as it should be. If you have some idea you will be in misery, so drop that idea.This is the body that you have got; this is the body that god has given to you. Use it... enjoy it! And if you start loving it, you will find it is changing, because if a person loves his body he starts taking care, and care implies everything. Then you don't stuff it with unnecessary food, because you care.
Then you don't starve it, because you care. You listen to its demands, you listen to its hints -- what it wants, when it wants. When you care, when you love, you
become attuned to the body, and the body automatically becomes okay. If you don't like the body, that will create the problem, mm? because then by and by you will become indifferent to the body, negligent of the body, because who cares about the enemy? You will not look at it; you will avoid it. You will stop listening to its
messages, and then you will hate it more.
And you are creating the whole problem. The body never creates any problem; it is the mind that creates problems. Now, this is an idea of the mind. No animal suffers from any idea about the body, no animal... not even the hippopotamus! Nobody suffers -- they are perfectly happy because no mind is there to create an idea; otherwise the hippopotamus will think 'Why am I like this?' (laughter) There is no problem in it.
Just drop the ideal. Love your body -- this is your body, this is a gift from god.
You have to enjoy it and you have to take care of it. When you take care, you exercise, you eat, you sleep. You take every care because this is your instrument, just like your car that you clean, that you listen to, to every hum -- to know whether something is going wrong -- mm?
You take care even if a scratch comes on the body. Just take care of the body and it will be perfectly beautiful -- it is! It is such a beautiful mechanism, and so complex, and yet working so efficiently that for seventy years it goes on functioning. Whether you are asleep or awake, aware or unaware, it goes on functioning, and the functioning is so silent. Even without your caring it goes on functioning; it goes on doing service to you. One should be grateful to the body.
Just change your attitude and you will see that within six months your body has changed its form. It is almost like when you fall in love with a woman and you see: she immediately becomes beautiful. She may not have cared about her body up to this moment but when a man falls in love with her, she starts taking care. She stands before the mirror for hours... because somebody loves her!
The same happens: you love your body and you will see that your body has started
changing. It is loved, it is taken care of, it is needed. It is a very delicate mechanism -- people use it very crudely, violently. Just change your attitude and see!

The truth is always individual. It is experienced in the very core of your being - where you cannot take anybody with you. You cannot take the person you love, you cannot take your friend with you. You have to go alone, and only in your aloneness is the realization . ~ OSHO

White Tārā ...
Tārā is a female Bodhisattva typically associated with Tibetan Buddhism. She is one of the more popular figures in the Tibetan pantheon of deities. Tārā (pronounced tah' rah), whose name in means “Star”, originated in Indian Hinduism as the Mother Creator, and her many representations spread from Ireland ...to Indonesia under many different names. As White Tara, she rose from a lotus blooming in the lake that formed from the first tear of compassion of great bodhisattva Avalokiteswara (whose human incarnation is the Dalai Lama), and is considered his consort
The White Tārā is the personification of compassion, long life, healing and serenity. The followers of the White Tārā believe that the gift of longevity is granted for the practice of compassion and service to others.

Iodine and Detoxification
Iodine and Detoxification
Iodine intake immediately increases the excretion of bromide, fluoride, and some heavy metals including mercury and lead. Bromide and fluoride are not removed by any other chelator or detoxifying technique. Dr. Kenezy Gyula Korhaz states that iodine chelates heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum and halogens such as fluoride and bromide, thus decreasing their iodine inhibiting effects[1] especially of the halogens.

it takes two thousand five hundred years for it
to stop completely….” says Osho.
“The wheel that Buddha moved has stopped.
The wheel has to be moved again.
And that is going to be my and your
life’s work – that wheel has to be moved again.
Once it starts revolving it will again have twenty
-five centuries’ life.”

As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral... As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.

Awareness ~ OSHO ~ ...
Awareness ~ OSHO ~
Watching is meditation. What you watch is irrelevant. You can watch the trees, you can watch the river, you can watch the clouds, you can watch children playing around. Watching is meditation. What you watch is not the point; the object is not the point. The quality of observation, the quality of being aware and alert – that’s what meditation is.
Meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation. Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action. Walking can be a meditation if you walk alertly. Sitting can be a meditation if you sit alertly. Listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness. Just listening to the inner noise of your mind can be a meditation if you remain alert and watchful. Then whatsoever you do is meditation – and don’t be worried about it!

May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere,

May all beings everywhere, Seen and unseen, Dwelling far off or nearby, Being or waiting to become:

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.

The thought manifests as the word
The word manifests as the deed
The deed develops into habit
Habit hardens into character
So watch the thought and its ways with care
And let it spring out of love
Born out of concern for all beings
As the shadow follows the body as we think,
So we become...

Sakka asked the Buddha: 'Do different religious teachers head for the same goal or practice the same disciplines or aspire to the same thing?'
'No, Sakka, they do not. And why? This world is made up of myriad different states of being, and people adhere to one or another of these states and become tenaciously possessive of them, saying, 'This alone is true, everything else is false.' It is like a territory that they believe is theirs. So all religious teachers do not teach the same goal or the same discipline, nor do they aspire to the same thing.
'But if you find truth in any religion or philosophy, then accept that truth without prejudice.'

This is how you should contemplate. The world is an idea in the mind to which the word world has been attached. Beyond this idea is the mystery of beingness. But it's not possible to free people from their attachment to the idea--to that which blinds them to the reality--without appropriate methods. So you should tread the path of perfect giving, of patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom. Yet while following these activities, you should remain aware that the world is illusory. It is for the sake of those who do not know that you engage in dynamic and vigorous work and also in meditation and one-pointed attention. Understanding that without wisdom you can do nothing for others, you remain in the perfection of wisdom, which is the awareness that what you are doing is both essential and illusory.

The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time.
And that's why when one has become a forgiving person,
and has managed to let go of the past,
what they've really done is they've shifted their relationship with time.
