From Unconsciousness to Consciousness

These are the first talks Osho gave after a period of more than three years’ silence. Answering a diverse selection of questions. Osho outlines his vision for the future of mankind and reveals in stark terms how our social and psychological structures depend upon the illusion that there is a God. He speaks of how modern man, with his radically divergent left and right brains, currently appears to have two major thought systems to choose from for his understanding of himself and the world he lives in - science, with its logical certainties or religious superstition.
In this talk, Osho offers us a third alternative: consciousness.
He points out that a man divided against himself will create a divided world, while a man of meditation is a whole man, integrated. And such an integrated man can only create a world where love and understanding are the rule, and war and crimes the exception.
