In Zen: The Path of Paradox, Osho suggests Zen as a possible bridge between East and West, and between the scientific and the spiritual.
"Without science, the East has lost much; without meditation, the West has lost much. I am trying to bring together East and West, because together they will create the whole."
Osho encourages the reader to throw off the accumulated "knowing" of a lifetime-to let go of physical, mental, and emotional tensions,...

Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind, and as never before, there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories. He shows us that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them. It is a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis. Zen is for those intelligent enough to understand...

The qualities of a seeker of truth, the transmission of truth through spoken words, attachment to the physical presence of a master and a taste of silence are the subjects of this talk by Osho.

And the question is natural -- "I must know the reality of my being." It is not a curiosity."...

We are constantly being pulled away from the unique nature that is our birthright. In place of that original and unique self, a false self called the "ego" is constructed that eventually gains control of our creativity, our ideas about what it means to be successful, our relationships,...

Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring book, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. In The God Conspiracy, Osho offers a solution beyond Nietzsche meditation, a direct connection with existence itself....
