So much of the experience of everyday life is shaped by religious and social conditioning. We are constantly pulled away from the unique nature that is our birthright and into a false self called the "ego," which eventually gains control of our ideas, our relationships, and the very experience of who we are. At the same time, the collection of egos known as "society" shapes our political, educational, and religious institutions, forcing the same old patterns onto new generations. In this book, Osho shows how to discard these old patterns in favor of a new and nurturing trinity of watchfulness, awareness, and alertness.
