Solve mystery of life through meditation

[rajneeshosho]

Majority of the people in the world are unaware of their goal in life. In other words, they have no idea why they came into world and what is the aim of their life. The truth behind this unknown mystery is that every human being in born to do some spiritual tasks in their lives, that is, they have spiritualistic goals. Once you are able to discover and become aware of these goals your purpose of life becomes known, it is up to you how you achieve your goals in life. Meeting these spiritual goals is not a simple task from any individual's point of view.

One is required to practice meditation to be in a position to attain these goals. You can start learning meditation by going through fundamental techniques of meditation consisting of breathing exercises and focusing on your inhaling and exhaling of breath. Some people are able to master meditation through these techniques and consequently meet their spiritual goals. On the other hand, there are people who suffer from poor concentration and are thus unable to concentrate on their breath. Osho designed active meditation techniques involving movements of the body such as dancing and stretching for such people to enable them to achieve their spiritual purpose of life.

And on the other hand there are those who are quite aware of their purpose in life and do not need the requirements you have outlined.

There are also those out there that do not believe that there is, nor needs to be, a purpose.

I am the purpose.

All religious stuff is spam of a sort.

Meditation is very useful, but not mandatory, in my opinion. And not religious in the slightest.

However, I do think a lot of people could benefit a great deal from it.

Please excuse me as I pick this apart.

Majority of the people in the world are unaware of their goal in life.

Correct. An better, from what I can tell the majority do not WANT the truth. The why of this as best I know is rather simply because knowing the truth will invalidate things. For example, how can you live as a "normal human", when you KNOW that you are neither. (Hint, it never worked for me. I know, I've tried.)

The truth behind this unknown mystery is that every human being in born to do some spiritual tasks in their lives, that is, they have spiritualistic goals.

If you mean "spiritualistic goals" as in goals set by the "deeper"(for lack of words) self for the life you are living, then I agree for the most part. I.e. to know what it is to rule an empire or be a conquerer or a leper or an average joe. Or even just events, say being raped or murdered or the like, or a love lost that is so painful. Ah life is full of so many different experiences.

Once you are able to discover and become aware of these goals your purpose of life becomes known

Keep in mind that knowing isn't always a good thing.

it is up to you how you achieve your goals in life.

An it may be setup already. Sometimes it is honestly easiest and best NOT to muck with the machinery of life.

An sometimes it certainly nicer to NOT know. That statement also applies to past lives as well.

Meeting these spiritual goals is not a simple task from any individual¿s point of view.

It isn't?
I've had two goals in this life.

One, Be the child for my parents. (Known from a very young age.)
Two, nudge a friend if she needed it. (Done, realized after it was accomplished. I.e. after I could no longer "screw it up".)

Frankly the events in motion now are tacked on as best I know. I did NOT come here for these things. But that is not to say that I am not here for these reasons. The Divine is, after all, rather clever.  So too the infernal(please do not read this as being bad, just different.) for that matter, I must remember to thank her for that.

One is required to practice meditation to be in a position to attain these goals.

An it's a statement like this that makes me comment.

I've meditated a hand full of times.
The first time I opened the figurative door and was greeted by a hellish fiery pit with a devil in the middle. At least I think it was a devil, I saw the figure and I ran like hell. Why? I wasn't ready. An while I understand the meaning now, I've acquired it (with help* mind you) WITHOUT meditation. Let me repeat this. I have not used meditation to find my truth. It might well have been easier mind, but frankly I think one should advise the use of whatever works for THEM, not what works for you or I.

Mind you, I have nothing against meditation to be sure, it's just not what I've used.

An, to be blunt, I expect what I've written here to fall upon deaf ears because, as I said and have been convinced of. The majority of people do not want the truth, an that isn't a bad thing at all. Trust yourself, I suggest. That is very probably your key.

But, meh, sand in the wind...

*I was thinking mostly of the Divine when I wrote this, an as an example of this I've had an Angel remind me of my name, an I wasn't ready for it then either. But keeping with my desire of credit where credit is due, the infernal(again, not bad just different), specifically one whom I treasure has done a wonderful job of reminding me of things important.

Or you could view it as a sincere attempt to try and help?

To some this is the same as saying all scientific stuff is spam of a sort.

Personally I see religions for the most part as well meaning misguided to explain something relatively simple. "There is more to life than this" Perhaps a futile hope, and perhaps not.

Meditation is very useful, but not mandatory, in my opinion. And not religious in the slightest.

However, I do think a lot of people could benefit a great deal from it.

^*grins* Certainly more eloquent than my drivel. Thank you.
