# 11~ Osho’s Enlightenment Day, Universal Harmony, and the Noosphere around you…

Dear Beloved Friend,

What a “day” today is~ I’m just loving it!  I feel like my whole past, my future, and my present have all merged into One Big, Organic Unity.  “This moment”, everything is perfect just the way it is.  There is no fear, and this space is so relaxing… so “non-serious”… and so full of radiating love and awareness.  It feels like nothing needs to be added, and nothing needs to be deleted… all fits together.  I’ve heard Osho say this on many occasions, and I have had glimpses of this blissful understanding before, but “today” it reaches into my total Energy Field so clearly.  Jai Osho!  And thank you so much for Being Enlightened!

It’s all pretty mysterious to me… not only am I feeling blissful…  today is the first day of Spring, and the time for renewal and joy in Nature… Today is also Osho’s Enlightenment Day… the blessed moment under a Maulshree tree in India, when back in 1953, Osho dissolved into Existence.

These 21 Days of Cleanse & Purification have been a blessing and a revelation to me on MANY LEVELS.  Anasha and I began on March 1st, so we could be “in the flow of energy” of it before you all began on March 7th… So today is our last day of “Universal Harmony~ ARUN Conscious Touch 2013: 21 Days of Love & Awareness”.   {Although of course we will be staying in touch with you to the end of yours on 26th March}. The “result” or the “effects” of these days is really stretching my ability to allow so much divine Grace… I feel Grace arising from within and descending from above upon me.  My limited Mind is really challenged because it wants to cling to old fears… but those fears are “not me” and are part of my Past, not my Present.  And those fears cannot co-exist in the crystal clear light of the “Love & Awareness” that has been generated inside through the Cleansing/ Fasting, the ARUN/Osho Yoga, the sharing with you all, Meditation, and the energy of Osho and Anasha showering my way.

Today, the Body is humming so beautifully!… the “Buddha-Eye” or inner vision sees in a new depth my organs, bones, blood, muscles, glands, breath, fascia, electro-magnetic energy lines, and senses the organic unity and the harmony, and the moment to moment dance of life.  The Spiritual Heart {“kokoro” in Japanese} is full of self-love that radiates outward like a mini-Sun… full of forgiveness and gratitude to all that has been given and revealed.  The Mind and Brain feels clear, creative, and at ease.  All physical, mental, and emotional pains have evaporated.  The Cleanse has been a TOTAL SUCCESS.  Thank you again Anasha!  I could not have gone so deep without you.

My love and gratitude towards Osho, Existence with all its Polarities, to all my friends, like you, on the Path of Awakening to Truth, and to the miraculous “Human Energy-Field” is overflowing the limited banks of my skin and aura…

I have been playing with Yoga, as shared directly from Osho, consistenly for 40 years now, and never have I experienced it like today… and Anasha had the same experience!  A palpable state of “Universal Harmony” flowing within and without… it’s pretty amazing what happens without food, when the tissues are really clean… meditation and silence comes naturally, and the cells vibrant differently.  Many inner structures, including the Mind, nerves, and glands, can rest and rejuvenate on a deep level.  The beautiful polarity within was that “I felt so solid, and yet, so like vapor” at the same time…  and the “strength of the Rose”.

There is something SO ALCHEMICAL that happens when we Cleanse and Purify the Body, especially if at the same time, we are open to purifying the emotions, and the the judging, mistrusting Mind.  At the same time we are disciplining our Body, and allowing the Wisdom of the Body to heal itself by not putting anything in that creates mucous or other toxins… we dive deeply into our inner anatomy through self-touch, conscious breathing, creative visualization and sensing of the Life Force currents, and Meditation.  And the loving “gathering of friends” that you relate with and open up to during your Cleanse is also a key to the alchemy.   Love “beautifies” both the observer and the observed.

Something BEAUTIFUL written by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin many years before captures very well what I would like to elaborate on, and share with you here.  According to Osho, Chardin was one of the strangest, yet mystical, men of the 20th century.  He was a scientist, a geologist, but with the heart of a Mystic, a meditator, a man of great prayer… Chardin says:

“THERE IS ALMOST A SENSUAL LONGING FOR COMMUNION WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE A LARGE VISION. THE IMMENSE FULFILLMENT OF THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THOSE ENGAGED IN FURTHERING THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS HAS A QUALITY IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE.”

Osho has said: “The Master simply means a certain Noosphere.  The word “Noosphere” is coined by Chardin… we are acquainted with the word “atmosphere”.  Atmosphere means the air that surrounds you… the climate that surrounds you.   “Noosphere” means the world of subtle vibes, thoughts, feelings that surround you… the Master carries a noosphere around himself… I call it the Buddhafield.”  

Osho goes on to say how if “one is open” just by being in the vicinity of someone enlightened, or who is self-realized, you can start feeling things that you were never aware of… it is like when you go to the lake, or the forest, or near the ocean, the atmosphere is different, and you feel a change in your energy… a relaxation and expansion.  Around a Master, or a gathering of friends devoted to truth, love, and awareness you enter a “noosphere”… and the same thing happens, plus something MORE… it affects you on all levels of your being.

According to Chardin, and his contemporary V.I. Vernadsky, the noosphere is the planetary sphere of mind or thinking layer of planet Earth. To grasp the idea of the noosphere we must elevate our consciousness and open ourselves to the most general, elemental and cosmic principles of life on Earth.

As the mental sheathe of the planet, the noosphere characterizes mind and consciousness as a unitary phenomenon. This means that the quality and nature of our individual and collective thoughts directly effects the noosphere and creates the quality of our environment—the biosphere.  We are co-creators of our reality.

As the Earth’s “mental sheathe,” the noosphere represents the breakthrough to a new consciousness, a new time and a new reality arising from the biospheric crisis. This is known as the biosphere-noosphere transition.

Just as the biosphere is the unity of all of life and its support system, the noosphere is the unity of all mind and its thinking layers. In this way the noosphere can be understood as the sum of the mental interactions of all life. Within the noosphere exists the evolutionary control panels, known as the psi bank, the storage and retrieval system for all the mental programs.

As the next stage of evolution of the terrestrial biosphere, the noosphere signifies the advent of a qualitative/dimensional shift – the passage from one state to another.

This perspective of the noosphere, as an evolutionary event, has been scientifically anticipated by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the noted French paleontologist, as well as his colleague (with whom he jointly coined the word noosphere in 1926), Russian geochemist, Vladimir Vernadsky (see The Theory and History of the Noosphere).

“The historic process is changing dramatically before our eyes … Mankind taken as a whole is becoming a powerful geological force. Humanity’s mind and work face the problem of reconstructing the biosphere in the interests of freely thinking mankind as a single entity. This new state of the world we are approaching without noticing it is the ‘Noosphere.’”

V.I. Vernadsky

By the way, Chardin also coined the beautiful saying: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”   { I’ve even read that on my “Yogi tea bag”!}

Chardin also said, and I totally agree with him:  “Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.” 

What does this mean for you and me?  For me, the significance of the “noosphere” as an energy-field “of subtle vibes, thoughts, feelings that surround you” …tells me how important it is who I spend my time with, and who I trust and open up myself to.  Their thoughts, feelings, vibes will be mixing with my energy, and I want to consciously put myself in a noosphere that supports the expansion of my trust, love, and awareness… it will become my nourishment… and trust is the real inner nutrition.  That is why I don’t pay any attention to what the Priests, and the Politicians, and the mainstream Doctors, the power-hungry businessmen like Monsanto, and the Pharmaceutical industry are saying… I would rather listen to the Mystics, the Poets and musicians, the Holistic Healers, the Natural Hygienists, the organic farmers, the people of the Heart, the Meditators, and the creative visionaries.  People that allow me to be myself, without trying to manipulate me in any way.  In the same way, the physical atmosphere I choose to live in is important and will affect my health~ and that is why Anasha and I are living here in Vilcabamba, Ecuador… in clean air, away from pollution and with pure water, creative nature loving friends, and silence available.  The noosphere is different here.

“Where your attention goes, your energy flows”… is the wise and ancient proverb.  “Consciously co-creating our own nurturing noosphere” also makes clear why one should avoid certain traps and temptations around us~ like constantly watching violence on TV or movies, watching idiotic people doing idiotic things, always watching sensationalistic news, and listening to and being around people full of greed, competition, jealousy, anger, perversions and negative energy of all kinds.  It is highly toxic to our psyches!   We are being bombarded by advertising from the “Culture of Death” that will lead us deeper and deeper into tension and disease, and will eventually create disturbances inside of our Energy Field… but we are not victims, we have the freedom to choose Life.

Don’t misunderstand me… I am not being moralistic or condemning when I say this… and Anasha and I and other lovers of vibrant health are not being moralistic when we talk about how the Food you eat and your behavior affects your energy and will either move you towards more inner harmony or towards disease and dementia.  We are all free, and I accept that everyone does not share our vision.  To Osho, and to us, “freedom is the highest value”.  And with freedom comes great responsibility… The ability to consciously respond and to see, and to feel the energetic implications of our actions and the environment we live in, is a sign of true intelligence, in my opinion.  Our actions are also a tangible proof of our love and awareness for ourself and for others.   

Living with Osho in his Ashram and Commune, every March 21st was a special day… there was always a big music celebration with singing and dancing in Buddha Hall with Osho present.

 On Osho Enlightenment Day, 25 years ago in Pune India, at 8 am in the morning, i was touching Osho on his balcony in his Ashram…  breathing in his noosphere.  The vibe, or noosphere, was different for a big radius all around the Ashram in Koregaon Park {thousands of people have noticed this}, when you entered the Gateless Gate you could feel it more, and when you entered his house, it was even stronger.  What to say about looking into his eyes, or feeling the vibrations of his voice, or touching his body?!?  It takes me back to what I shared in the very  beginning of this Song… when I remember those days now “I feel like my whole past, my future, and my present have all merged into One Big, Organic Unity.  “This moment”, everything is perfect just the way it is.  There is no fear, and this space is so relaxing… so “non-serious”… and so full of radiating love and awareness.  It feels like nothing needs to be added, and nothing needs to be deleted… all fits together”.

About 7 minutes into our “Touching Meditation” on March 21st, 1988 on his balcony, I was touching Osho’s neck very softly, with tears in my eyes… I said to him: “Osho, thank you so much for being enlightened”.   He opened his eyes and looked at me with so much love, and smiled.  He closed his eyes again, while the meditation continued… and the love and meditation is continuing to this day.

Sending many smiles and good vibrations your way… with love,  Anubuddha
