Living in Illusion and the Fear of Truth

By: OSHO

Narrated by: OSHO

In this provocative talk, Osho starts with our assumption that we are interested, maybe even passionately interested, in knowing the truth - and he tears it to shreds. He goes back in history with razor sharp clarity to illustrate our long-time avoidance of the truth, and our need to hide out in illusion.

Hits specifically at Christian values, and leans toward Buddhism.

I would be fine if the philosophy hit several belief systems, but there are a lot of specific hits at Christianity specifically. Specifically sides with Buddhism, when simply could mention separating your identity from any religion itself.

Simple gets to the point of what it is trying to get across and I enjoy coming back to read later on.

Mingled philosophies

There are certainly parallels between religions but this talk draws on concepts from Christianity and twists them to match his own (and others’) teachings. Parts of it draw near to truth, but it’s stacks principles on falsely adapted points and continues to build off of their foundation, this building a house of cards with a precariously assumed foundation. I disagree with many foundational points, thus the house falls apart. Maybe listening to it again will yield a better perspective, but my feeling is “no, just no.”
