ECLETIC MIND. OSHO.

 

THE ECLETIC MIND. OSHO. (19-08-2020).

HI AGAIN FRIENDS... OSHO TALKING AGAIN ON SUCH AN ESPECIAL DAY.

YOU WILL ASK ME WHAT IT HAS OF ESPECIAL. WELL, FOR ME IT IS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY.

 LET’S TALK ABOUT THE ECLETIC MIND, NOT FROM DE ORDINARY ONE, THE FANATIC ONE, THE SUBVERSIVE, THAT WHO EXCUSES EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME; THAT WHO PREDICT WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING, NOR THE IRREVERENT.

THE ECLETIC MIND IS THAT WHO BELONGS TO A BEING THAT HAS KNOWN HOW TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN WHAT IS “GOOD AND WHAT IT’S NOT SO MUCH OR ABSOLUTLY HARMFUL”.

IT BELONGS TO FEW INDIVIDUALS ON THIS EARTH OR, BETTER SAYING: CONSCIENTIOUS DIMENSION ON WHICH EVERTYTHING TURNS HEAD DOWN, BY THE LACK OF DISCERNMENT AND MOST OF ALL, BY THE ENORMOUS RADICALISM THAT EMANATE THE RELIGIONS, DOGMAS, ESTRUCTURES, TRDITIONS, ETC.

EVERYTHING THAT DICTATES YOU: “THIS MUST ALWAYS BE THUS”, IS NOT ECLETIC.

THE ECLETISM IS FLEXIBLE, ONE OF ITS MAJOR VIRTUES. FLEXIBILITY IS A SYMBOL OF OPEN MIND TO THE GOOD, THE WISE, TO CONRIBUTES MORE VIRTUES TO BE APLICATED ON THE DAY BY DAY.

GOMMON PEOPLE IS “STUCK” ON WHICH HAS BEEN SAID CENTURIES AGO OR WHAT WAS SAID A DAY AGO; AND CONSIDERER IT AS TRUTH. HOWEVER, THEY DON’T PASS ALL THE THING BY THE SIEVE OF THEIR ECLETIC MIND, WHICH CARRY A COUNTLESS MICRO-NEUROTRNSMITTERS THAT ELABORATE, SOMETIME WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTY OR WITH IT TOO. (THAT IS CALLED WISE MENTAL PROCCESS)… WHICH SERVES TO THE COMMON WEALTH AND PERSONAL WEALTH TOO.

BY LOGIC, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT SELFISHNESS, NEITHER AVARICE, NOR GREED… OR GET STONED WITHOUT HAVE THE MINIMUM OF WISDOM.

THE ECLETIC MIND MAKES YOU GROW UP ON THE MOMENT TO MOMENT. WHAT WAS GOOD YESTERDAY MAY NOT BE THUS TODAY. IT’S LIKE EATING COD THREE DAYS IN A ROW… WELL… IT’S A SIMPLE EXAMPLE... (LAUGHTERS).

SOMETHING MAY LIKE YOU… YES. NEVERTHELESS, FOR SOME MOTIVATION, THAT LIKE SOMETHING, HAS BEFORE PASSED THROUGH SENSIBILITY, (IF THE PERSON HAS IT), FOR WANTING SOMETHING IN RETURN… FOR CRAVING SOMETHING… FOR COVETING SOMETHING… ON THE OTHER HAND, SIMPLY BY THE SAME LOVE TO THE WELL DISCERNMENTE WHAT IS THE BEST FOR EACH ONE OF YOU.

TO BE ECLETIC IS SOMETHING THAT MANY PEOPLE CONFUSE. “AH”, THEY SAY… “I AM AN ECLETIC PERSON”. IN ADDITION, BY SAYING THAT, THEY BOAST THEY ARE OPEN MIND PEOPLE. THEN, THEY OPEN THE DOORS TO ALL KIND OF PRUDERY THAT TURN THEM INTO EASILY PUPPETS TO BE MANIPULATED. THE FACT IS TO KNOW WHOM IS HANDLING THE STRINGS OF THOSE PUPPETS.

YOU MAY READ, BY EXAMPLE, ABOUT ANY RELIGION. MOREOVER, WILL ALWAYS FIND POSITIVE THINGS, EDUCATIVES ONES, AND CONSTRUCTIVE ONES. ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU ALSO FIND NEGATIVES THINGS, INCLINES TO THE FANATHISM. AND EXQUISITELY PREPARED TO TRANSFORM YOU ON AN EDUCATED PUPPET IN THIS OR THAT RELIGION. I’M SICK OF THAT!

INTEAD THAT, AN ECLETIC PERSON, HAS A MIND THAT IS NOT SELECTIVE AS YOU TAKE THE TERM, BUT BESIDES HAVING A VERY SELECTIVITY, THEY DO NOT DISCRIMINATE. THEY SIMPLY ACCEPT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEIR BEING AND THE REST THEY DISCARD. HOWEVER, THEY DO NOT HATE NEITHER THE PERSONS WHO THINK ON A DIFFERENT WAY.

THE ECLETIC ONE IS PAR EXCELLENCE. IT IS BECAUSE IS SEARCHING INSIDE AND GET SURPRISED ON HOW MUCH MAY BE CHANGING ON THE MOMNET TO MOMENT. FOR THAT REASON, THE ECLETIC PERSON HAS A MODUS VIVENDI: LIVES DAY BY DAY. FOR TOMORROW, ALL THAT WAS USEFUL FOR THAT MOMENT OF HIS LIFE IS ALREADY UNSEFUL FOR THIS MOMENT OF HIS LIFE. IT’S NOT SO USEFUL BY THE HERE AND NOW… SO THEN, HE WILL DO SOME CHANGES ON HIS WAY OF THINKING, FEELING, ACTING, ETC. DO NOT FORGET: THE ONLY THING THAT DOESN’T CHANGE IS THE CHANGE ITSELF.

THE PHANATICS ARE LIKE THE HIEROGLYPHS OR THE MONOLITHS… ALWAYS STUCK. YOUR LOOK AT THEM AND DON’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AT ALL. FIRSTLY, FOR UNDERSTANDING THE HIEROGLYPHS, THERE IS UNNECESSARILY TO DO AN EXHAUSTING CURSE OF WHAT THEY MEAN. IN THE SECOND PLACE, IT MUST BE RESPECTED THAT THEY WERE WRITTEN MILLONS OF YEARS AGO OR THOUSAND OF YEARS AGO. SO THAT, IS IF AVERYTHING IS ACCEPTED WITHOUT PASSYNG THORUGH THE ECLETISM, YOU WILL TURN SO HARDENED AS THAT MONILITH THAT IS THERE…. LOOKING AT THE TIME PASSING BY AND THE ONLY THING THAT GOES MODIFYING IT (NOT CHANGING IT), IS THE CORROSIVE CLIMATE AND ITS SOLITARY ASPECT.

MAKE THE EXPERIENCE: GET IN FRONT TO A MONILITH AND TRY TO MEDITATE. YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR EYES AND A UNIVERSE OF NEW THINGS WILL IMMEDIATELY COME TO YOU. WHY? BECAUSE SIMPLY AND WONDERFULLY, YOU WHOULD BE INTRODUCED IN YOUR INNER GOD. THERE IS SUCH A DIFFERENCE!

DO NOT CONVERT YOURSELVES IN MONOLITHS, I BEG YOU. ON THE FIRST PLACE, THEY ARE VERY BORED. IN THE SECOND PLACE, THEY ARE SUCH NO COMMUNICATIVE BEINGS. AND ON THE THIRD INSTANCE, CONTINUE BEING SO BORED. THEY DO NOT CONTRIBUTE IN ANYTHING AT ALL. THEY TURN THEMSELVES INTO ROUGH BEINGS TO WHICH IT IS NOT EASY TO CARESS, WITHOUT INCLUDING FEELING BEFORE HIS ROUGHNESS, IN SPITE OF THEIR SMILING FACES.

BE “CHILDREN”. THEY ARE ECLETICS. BUT, BE COMPETENT CHILDREN, ADULTS ONES, WITH DISCERNMENT ABOUT WHAT WELL CONTRIBUTES YOU ON THE DAY BAY DAY, BECAUSE YESTERDAY IS GONE.

MOVE YOUR FEET. A STEP BEHIND ANOTHER. SO, YOU WILL KNOW THE ECLETIC MIND. DON’T TELL ME THAT WHEN YOU ARE WALKING BY A LITTLE PATH ON THE GROUND OR THE GRASS, WITH LITTLE STONES, FLOWERS, BUSHES  OF SO MANY SPECIES, YOUR ATTENTION WILL NOT BE INTERESTED ABOUT WHAT THERE ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PATH. AND DO NOT FORGET TO LOOK AT THE SKY OCCASIONALLY. BUT NOT FOR MUCH TIME, BECAUSE YOU MAY TRIP ON WITH SOME UNEXPECTED THING. AND THEN: GOOD BYE PATH! NO MUCH TO SAY.
