The Rebellious Spirit 2 (The Rebellious Spirit): Rebellion Has to Have the Flavor of Love
About this audiobook
Part 2 (talks #11-#20)
Our lives are filled with expectations, fixed ideas of what should be; ideas and prejudices that are given to us by the world – according to Osho, they are all, without exception, based on lies.
People are usually very happy, if their prejudices are met with agreement and their expections fulfilled. When you find Osho, a different approach to life is uncovered, as he speaks on something we have always been looking for – a way to be alive. His vision of becoming alive is expressed in this series THE REBELLIOUS SPIRIT.
This series continues with these next ten talks in Part 2. Osho lays out his vision of a balance between the primary need for personal transformation as the foundation and at the same time not ignoring contemporary political and social issues.
We live today in times of tremendous change – which most people are afraid of. People want certainty, security and control. According to Osho, this is not life. An obedient child is almost dead; hence, the parents are very happy,
because he is always under control. A rebel does not follow the crowd on the superhighway, is not afraid of being alone and is someone, who lives life according to his own light, moves according to his own intelligence. A rebellious life is dangerous – a life that is not dangerous is not life at all.
The longing to be yourself is, what drives all of us but our existence feels mostly just like a dull carbon copy and we are clinging to it. And it is one of the most important things to remember – that if you can drop your ego, your personality, and allow existence to take its place, all the best and most beautiful qualities will follow on their own accord. You will not have to be good, you will find you are good. You will not have to be loving, you will find you are love. You will not have to meditate, you will find you are meditation.

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.
