Human is born as a potential (2)

Nov 12

Father, did suria namaskara. Couldn't get into breathing meditation. Shambavi was fine. These days fast breathing and locking is good.

Osho - Camel/Lion/Child
Lion - sometimes miserable and sometimes pleasant, sometimes painful and sometimes pleasurable.
Camel - is like a parrot, just memories and nothing else. Lives in the magic of believing. It works. It can work miracles, but the camel remains a camel, the growth is missing.

In the first stage, everybody has to be a camel, a yes-saying, believing whatsoever is given, assimilating, digesting, but this is beginning and not the end. And u becomes a perfect camel. The first state is given by society. Camels lives in the past

The second stage, as a lion, u have to become on ur own - remember it. If u don't decide to be a lion, u will never be one. By becoming a lion, there is a risk as u will annoy all the camels around u, as camels are peace-loving and ready to compromise. Camels don't want to be disturbed, don't want any new thing to happen in the world. The second state has to be attained by the individual. In attaining it, u become an individual, u become unique. This state is against authority, against everything. Lion heralds the future, and the future can come only if the past is destroyed. Disbelief is his characteristic, doubt is his characteristic.

Camel is non-egoistic.
Lion is egoistic.

Lions live their life, they do their thing. They don't care a bit about others. Let others go to hell. They are no more part of any structure, they become free from the structures. The movement, the lion's roar, is bound to be egoistic. They need a great ego to go into this.

In the East, u will find more camels. In the West, u will find more lions. That's why in the East, to surrender seems so easy as they don't know how to say no. For the Western's mind, surrender seem difficult and it is costly. Only a few courageous people can afford it. That's why when the Western mind surrender, there is great transformation.
When the lion surrender, he becomes a child. When a camel surrender, he remains a camel.

Exactly what I said about Bitches with high energy. High ego is required to go into Inner Journey as it takes energy and courage. Now I know why its so difficult for me and CEO to surrender. I also mentioned that CEO is my best student and she took responsibility and act for her personal growth.

Osho
It is a paradox. But each individual has to be taught the ego before he will be able to drop it. Each individual has to come to a very crystalised ego, only then is the dropping of any help, otherwise not.

The first state, of the camel is unconscious.
The second state, of the lion is subconscious. It is a little higher than unconscious as few glimpses of the conscious has started coming in.

The change from camel to lion is not very great, unlike lion to child. The difference between the camel and lion is big, but both exist on the same plane. Movement is born, but the plane is the same.

You being a camel is a gift of the society. You being a lion will be the gift u give urself. Unless u love urself, u will not be able to do it. Unless u want to become an individual, unique in ur own right, unless u take the risk of going against the current, u will not be able to become a lion.

The majority is stuck at the camel stage, the minority is stuck at the lion stage. The majority means the masses, and the minority means the intelligensia (poet, artist, painter, musician, thinker, philosopher, revolutionary).

The third stage (child) is possible only if the catterpillar comes close to a butterfly, otherwise it is not possible.
From the camel to lion is an evolution. From the lion to the child is a revolution.
The society can make u a camel. U urself can make urself a lion, but u will need a master to make urself a child.

The camel, was dependence;
The lion, was independence;
The child, was interdependence and creativity.

Interdependence means neither is there dependence nor independence. Existence is interdependent - all are dependent on each other. It is all one. The sense of the whole is born; no I, no thou, no fixation with yes or no, no obsession either to say yes always or to say no always, more fluidity, more spontaneity, neither obedience nor disobedience, but spontaneity. Responsibility is born. One responds to existence, does not react out of the past, and does not react out of the future.

The camel lives in the past;
The lion lives in the future;
The child lives in the present, here-now.

The camel is pre-mind (pre-self), the lion is mind (self), the child is post-mind (post-self).
The child is a state of no-mind.

The camel has memories
The lion has knowledgeability
The child has wisdom.

The camel is either Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Buddihst, theist
The lion is atheist
The child is religious, neither theist or atheist, neither Christian, Hindu, Muslim nor Buddihst, just a simple religiousness, the quality of love and innocence.

I have been asking why am stuck. Why no progress? Alas, I have my answer. I think m now at a crossroad between lion and child. Perhaps samyama may be the key. But I still practise it reluctantly and infact time myself so to do not more than half an hour. Breathing meditation also inconsistent. Sometimes delightful, sometimes torturous. Perhaps this is the lion state, sometimes pleasurable, sometines miserable.
The saving grace is I have found my Master and has been given a tool. So use it!
Father, thanks for this clarification. I now don't judge myself for being stuck in lion state since is common state. As for the child, it comes, it comes. If not, I am a lion. So be it as I am not able to surrender fully, am not willing to pay the price.
