I remember coming out of satori just feeling at home with myself . The process itself had without a doubt given me a direct experience with myself, and had brought me to a space in which I felt comfortable watching whatever was happening through me. I experienced many moments of understanding, and touched a quality of love, awareness and silence within that I had only experienced as glimpses before. It is aprocess of breaking through illusions, and yet despite my experiences, I still held on to the idea that I had something to do / somewhere to go to reach my awakening ... I guess I was not ready to accept the ease of being at home ... in other words, in satori, you are, nothing else is happening but your absolute awareness of what is going on every second of every moment of the day. The truth is that this is all there is: the awareness of life happening through being. The obviousness of it is clear to me now, and looking back on the quality of the process of satori, and in fact my entire life, I wonder how I could have missed it!!

I awake with the awareness that my eyes are open
Even as I sleep they were not closed
To watch another brings the question of 'What Other?'
For there is me , who I am, dissolving with each breath
Into the one-ness that is all around and all within.
Where is this boundary that holds me
Looking into the moment I see no boundary
No thing in and No thing out
All things are, and that is where I am
So smiling appears before these eyes that never close
And a newness washes over this shore of relaxed intensity
And I arrive at the place where I never left
To consider this journey that never took place.

People keep asking me why I participate in every satori group that happens After all it is "hard" work, you get up very early in the morning, you sit all day, even have to do Mandala meditation, have no free time whatsoever and most of all , no free will to do what you like to do. Well, no "free will" is the blessing. Because what else is our "free will" than the ego, the manipulating mind. How free is the dewdrop when it can say: "I am a dewdrop and I am not the ocean" How free are we when we say" I want to be free" As long as the "I' is there, all there is is ego, (mind , personality , inner child or whatever you want to call it) I love the satori process simply because in satori seekers who really want to find, find. It is as simple as that. If you are ready to die and seek with all the intensity that you can possibly gather, you find. And it is not a question of old seekers or young ones. Of course it helps if you have been peeling the onion for many years , but in every Satori group I see new people , young people, with a real thirst for truth , with a burning question of "Who am I?" ,finding that "I" For a moment may be, but finding it. And once found, you can never again say that you do not know who you are, you may be able to forget, you may want to run away from it again because it means death to the ego. but you can no longer say that you are looking for the house of God because you know that you are god and that your body is it's temporary house.

For me Satori is the ultimate expression of Osho's vision of therapy being a bridge to meditation. Satori with it's structure and process goes beyond therapy and reveals the essence of meditation, of being in the moment - of no-mind. No group has ever made such a lasting impression on my being as Satori. Through Satori I have had glimpses of "who I am", and through this understanding, my understanding, trust and love for Osho has deepened immensely.

Satori...
first i did not get what i was doing there- I just went on looking and digging and sharing and struggling- and than suddenly I was right there-in a total moment- unexpected and that's why it was like a storm inside. So vast and so silent at the same time. Just this experience of me of my nature of being. Going through all this different facets and layers and believes of who i thought i am or should be-and recognizing that it is actually so beautifully simple! Love to this process which in a way opened me up to life!!
