Consciousness (Keys to a New Way of Living)

A Map to Awakening by Osho's Hand of Wisdom

The more conscious one becomes, the more one remembers oneself, the more cautiously one acts, the more alert one is, the more wounds start disappearing, there are fewer outbursts of anger, less hatred, less jealousy, and fewer possessive feelings. The more conscious one becomes, the more health and wholeness take root. One day, one simply discovers that all that has become irrelevant, it has become history, it is no longer about living issues but about dead issues.

This is the miracle of becoming conscious: that everything that is wrong begins to fade away and everything that is right begins to happen. Individually, and as a society, the paramount question is to decide whether we prefer to be asleep or awake, unconscious or conscious.
