Quote from Osho:
Your own consciousness has no wounds.
Your own consciousness knows nothing of misery.
Your own consciousness is innocent, utterly blissful.
To bring you in touch with your own consciousness, every effort is being made to detract you from the mind. The mind contains all your misery, all your wounds. And it goes on creating wounds in such a way that, unless you are aware, you will not even find how it creates them….
All our miseries are so superficial-and most fundamentally, they are all borrowed.
And everybody is giving his misery to everybody else he comes in contact with. People are talking continuously about their miseries, about their troubles, about their conflicts. Have you ever heard anybody talking about his joyous moments? About his dances and songs? About his silences and blissfulness? No, nobody talks about these things. People go on sharing all their wounds, and whenever you are talking about your misery to somebody, without your knowing, you are transferring a miserable pattern. The person may be thinking that he is only listening to you, but he is also catching the vibe of misery, the wounds.
When I said that you carry other people's wounds, my statement meant that your own consciousness has no wounds. If everybody becomes alert, meditative, there will be no wounds in the world. They will simply disappear. They will not find any house, any shelter. This is possible. If it is possible for me, it is possible for everybody.

Osho is talking about a state of being. a state of consciousness Dave mentions as Sammadhi. (spelling?)
this is the future of mankind's state of consciousness. it is also a state of non-duality or balanced brain activity, the left to the right.
Ohso is right on, however he is not discrediting any other teacher or guru while he discusses this blissful type of consciousness that we are to realize ourselves to be. he says if it is possible for him, it is possible for everybody, that is his punchline, which makes him to be perceiving correctly. (my opinion)
perception is what we do here. perception is not the whole of knowledge. words are symbols of our own perceptions, that we share together in communion, or simple communication.
We do indeed share each other's wounds, and misery does love company. but we can move beyond that sharing of misery to something even better to share, in the near future if I can be so bold to say that. talking about PUL. btw, speak of JC, theres one who shared our wounds without much complaint, for we went on to think about his death so much, we shared his wounds too, through stigmatism, and mental ways, when we should have concentrated on his resurrection point he was trying to make from the beginning.
he came to give us life abundant, not death.
personally, I took on my stepfathers wound. it got made whole. I perceive that as destiny. I can see destiny as merging into the world, collective consensus area, where this is taking on the wounds of the world.
the way I reconcile this to reincarnation, is to go forth on the premise, We are One. Whether I want to be here or not, we are one in this regard, to share our misery or our joy, then this is free will, which one to share.
then, I would say to go into a nonduality 4rth dimension, Samadhi, enlightenment, ascension, whatever, "the end", to enter there is to choose to enter there, by graduating from the necessity of taking on another's wounds, thus creating more wounds by identifying with pain and separation from the heart of god, that blissful life abundant, Osho is telling us, is our inheritage.
as to reincarnating, this can be seen to be taking on wounds, yet it can be seen to be entering a movie set the same and taking on a role, as in entering a movie house, there is a beginning, a middle point, and an ending to all movies.
while in the movie, one becomes engrossed in the plot and identifies with the hero or the heroine, exercising their emotions and mental areas.
then when the movie ends, we get up, walk outside, and go home, but the memory lingers of the movie we just got out of.
I can view our lives as memories, and each new baby as a brand new consciousness, ready to absorb life's experiences. I can also view that there is a body before me that is part of god's heart and life that has lived in another flesh body and whose memories are kept in the akashic records for it's point of re-emergence into All That Is, god, home, starting place.
split mind is what we are talking about. the time will come, we all come back together within one mind, and for awhile, we may experience this wound carrying thing, we develop compassion this way.
there is one new thought here, that is of the question of new souls born. none of us can know how that occurs, but we do note a population explosion of bodies.
if the body is nothing and temporary, and dies, while we continue on as our snowflake selves, and even in our oneness, the same, then this mystery of new souls has to be relegated to a creator and to that state of blissful awareness, where it simply doesn't matter that we don't have all the answers yet, because that state of awareness of being alive and well, and in PUL, means we have gained our soul groundedness and can afford to be patient with one another.
I forgot, those others in my disc, who are me, they too, have life eternal, and life just keeps this expansion process whether materializing through the flesh or remaining as nonphysical beingness.
thats why, being so creative, we can create a fluid higher vibrating body of form around ourself within the astral layers. and the reason I saw my mother and grandmother in their younger bodies, versus the way they looked when they died. (they were real, my perception and experience. which in no way invalidates the people that they had been in another movie set, who also have their individuality in their disc.
it also explains how I perceived and experienced intrinsic being as an orb of light on one occassion, where I did escape the confines of my now body, yet retained nonphysical sensing of sight, hearing, etc. what a trip.
love rules, good post Desert.
