奥修 再次出生 静心
奥修说：
记住，恢复到你的孩提时代。每个人都渴望它，但
是没人正在做任何恢复它的事，而每个人都渴望它！人
们一直在说孩提时代就是天堂，诗人们也一直在作孩提
时代的美丽的诗歌，谁在阻止你呢？恢复它！我给你这
个机会恢复它。
________________________
变成游戏的，这会是困难的，因为你有那么多的模
式，在你四周有一副盔甲——去松开它是如此困难，你
无法跳舞，你无法唱歌，你无法只是跳跃，你无法只是
尖叫、欢笑和微笑，甚至你想笑的时候，你也首先想要
有某种可笑的东西，你无法只是笑，一定要有某些原
因，只有那时你才会笑；一定要有某些原因，只有那时
你才会哭和流泪。
将知识放到一边去，将严肃放到一边去，完完全全
地去玩几天，你不会丢失什么东西！如果你不去得到任
何东酉，那么你也不会失掉任何东西，在游戏中，你会
失掉什么呢？但是我要对你说：你将永远不会再像从前
一样了。
我坚持主张变成游戏的，就是因为这个原因。我想
要将你扔回到你停止成长的那个点，在你孩提时代会有
一个停止成长的点，那时起你开始变得虚假，你或许在
生气——一个小小孩在发脾气——而你的父亲或母亲会
说：「不要生气！这样是不好的！」那时你是自然的，
但是一种分裂被制造出来，对你来说有一种选择：如果
你想要成为自然的，那么你将不会得到你父母的爱。
在这八天里，我要将你扔回到那个点，是你开始以
「好的」来反对自然的那个点，变成游戏的，好让你的
孩提时代再恢复，这将是困难的，因为你必须将你的面
具、你的面子放到一边，你必须将你的个性放到一边。
但是记住，只有当你的个性不在那儿时，本质才能维护
其自身，因为你的个性已经变成一种监禁，将它放一边
去！这将是痛苦的，但是这是值得的，因为你将从中再
次出生，而没有出生是不痛苦的，如果你真正地决心再
次出生，那么就去冒险。
要领
下面是奥修的「再次出生」的指导。
第一阶段：
第一个小时，你像一个小孩一样行动，只要进入你
的孩提时代，无论你想要做什么，去做——跳舞，唱
歌，蹦跳，哭泣，流泪——任何事，任何动作，除了不
要碰到别人外，毫无禁忌，在团体中不要碰到或伤害到
任何人。
第二阶段：
第二个小时，只是静静地坐着，你会更有朝气，更
天真，而静心会变得更容易。
每天两个小时，共七天。
要下决心在那个七天中，你会是和你出身的时候一
样的天真——就是一个孩子，一个新生儿，什么也不知
道，什么也不问，什么也不讨论，什么也不争论。如果
你能成为一个小小婴孩，那会有很多可能，即使那看起
来是不可能的事也是有可能的。
English instructions and explanation for
Osho Born Again Meditation:
Born Again is a process that takes place for two hours a day, over
seven days. For the first hour, participants take the space and
freedom to behave as children. For the second hour, they sit
silently, doing nothing.
Osho has this to say about the first part of the process:
Remember this: regain your childhood. Everyone longs for it but no
one is doing anything to regain it. Everyone longs for it! People go on
saying that childhood is paradise and poets go on writing poems
about the beauty of childhood. Who is preventing you? Regain it!
Take this opportunity to regain it.
Poetry will not help, and just remembering that it was paradise is not
of much use. Why not move into it again? Why not be a child again? I
say to you that if you can be a child again you will start growing in a
new way. For the first time you will be really alive again. And the
moment you have the eyes of a child, the senses of a child -- young,
vibrating with life -- the whole of life vibrates with you.
Remember, it is your vibration that needs transformation. The world is
already always vibrating in ecstasy; only you are not tuned. The
problem is not with the world, it is with you: you are not tuned to it.
The world is dancing, always celebrating, every moment it is in a
festivity. The festival goes on from eternity to eternity, only you are
not tuned to it. You have fallen apart from it, and you are very
serious, very knowing, very mature. You are closed.
Throw this enclosure! Move again into the current of life. When the
storm comes, the trees will be dancing, you also dance. When the
night comes and everything is dark, you also be dark. And in the
morning when the sun rises, let it rise in you also. Be childlike and
enjoying, not thinking of the past.
A child never thinks of the past. Really, he has no past to think about.
A child is not worried about the future; he has no time consciousness.
He lives totally unworried. He moves in the moment; he never carries
any hangover. If he is angry then he is angry and in his anger he will
say to his mother, "I hate you." And this is not just words, this is a
reality. Really, in that moment he is in total hate. The next moment he
will come out of it and he will be laughing and he will give a kiss to his
mother and he will say, "I love you." There is no contradiction. These
are two different moments. He was total hate and now he is total love.
He moves just like a river goes on moving, zigzag. But wherever he is
-- wherever the river is -- he is total, flowing.
For these days be like a child -- total. If you hate, hate; if you love,
love; if you are angry, then be angry; and if you are festive, then be
festive and dance. Do not carry anything over from the past. Remain
true to the moment; do not hanker for the future. For these eight
days drop out of time. Drop out of time!
That is why I say do not be serious: because the more serious you
are, the more time conscious you are. A child lives in eternity; there is
no time for him. He is not even aware of it. These eight days will be
real meditation if you drop out of time. Live the moment and be true
to it.
Be playful. It will be difficult, because you are so much structured.
You have an armor around you and it is so difficult to loosen it, to
relax it. You cannot dance, you cannot sing, you cannot just jump,
you cannot just scream and laugh and smile. Even if you want to
laugh you first want something there to be laughed at. You cannot
simply laugh. There must be some cause: only then can you laugh.
There must be some cause: only then can you cry and weep.
Put aside knowledge, put aside seriousness; be absolutely playful for
eight days. You have nothing to lose. If you do not gain anything, you
will not lose anything either. What can you lose in being playful? But I
say to you: you will never be the same again.
My insistence on being playful is because of this: I want you to go
back to the very point from where you stopped growing. There has
been a point in your childhood when you stopped growing and when
you started being false. You may have been angry, a small child in a
tantrum, angry, and your father or your mother said, "Don't be angry!
This is not good!" You were natural but a division was created and a
choice was there for you. If you were to remain natural then you
would not have got the love of your parents.
In these days I want to throw you back to the point where you started
being 'good' as against being natural. Be playful so your childhood is
regained. It will be difficult because you will have to put aside your
masks, your faces; you will have to put aside your personality. But
remember, the essence can assert itself only when your personality is
not there, because your personality has become an imprisonment.
Put it aside. It will be painful, but it is worth it because you are going
to be reborn out of it. And no rebirth is possible without pain. If you
are really determined to be reborn, then take the risk.
