De-hypnosis A Way to Superconciousness
My talking to you
has not the ordinary purpose
that talking serves:
indoctrination -
that is not the purpose of my talks.
I don't have any doctrine.
My talking is really
a process of de-hypnotization.
Just listening to me, slowly slowly, you will be
free of all the programs that the society
has forced you
to believe in.
Just by listening
with an open heart, with a receiving
gratefulness,
it is bound to happen.
There have been hypnotists
but nobody has ever tried speaking itself
as a method of de-hypnotizing.
It can become a music in you,
can relax you,
can make you silent,
can give a new rhythm to your heart -
a new feeling of my presence,
a new perception of reality.
And I may be talking about anything.
It is not the question
that I am talking about these things;
these are by-products.
I may be talking about A or B or C -
which are absolutely unrelated with de-hypnosis.
The question is your way of listening.
If it is right, then whatever I am saying
will relax your being totally,
and slowly, slowly your conditionings will start falling apart.
And I want to do it this way.
I don't want to hypnotize you -
that means first to make you unconscious.
This way there is no need to make you unconscious.
You become more conscious,
more alert.
You are becoming conscious and alert to listen to me.
But my purpose is
not to teach you something,
but to use teaching as an excuse to make you
conscious, alert,
so you can start touching the superconsciousness in you.
And from superconsciousness
a higher quality of hypnosis arises.
The ordinary methods of hypnosis
can be dangerous;
you can be in the hands
of a person who can use you
against yourself,
because you are in unconscious.
You are not
in a better state than your normal consciousness.
Nobody before has used speaking
to help you to become superconscious,
so I need not say to you, "Drop this, drop that" -
I do not have to give you post-hypnotic suggestions.
Everything will be happening here now,
and it will be happening in your fully-alert state,
so you cannot be used, cannot be misused;
you cannot be exploited.
Hypnotism became condemned because people started
exploiting it.
Anybody who himself is as unconscious as you are
can use the technique of hypnotism.
That's why it became condemned;
otherwise such a beautiful phenomenon which can help you towards meditation
would not have been condemned.
My way cannot be misused.
And when people say to you that you are hypnotized,
don't feel hurt.
Tell them, "Yes, we have been hypnotized to wake up.
We have been hypnotized to enter into superconsciousness.
We have not been hypnotized to go into lower realms of the mind, but
to the higher
superconscious or collective superconscious" - and finally
if you simply go on listening to me, doing nothing,
the cosmic consciousness is going to be your experience.
But I have never said it before,
and people have always wondered:
if I don't have a religion, don't have a doctrine, don't have a teaching,
then why I go on talking to people?
I could not say to them; they would not understand.
Only those who will experience the relaxation of superconsciousness
will be able
to see the point.
And then certainly, as Kaveesha says, they will understand
how long I have been waiting, and how long I have been patient,
and how I have been condemned for things which have nothing to do with me.
But I have remained silent -
because it does not bother me;
the only thing that
I am interested in is
my people
should attain to the state from where they cannot fall
before I leave the body.
I cannot give you anything more precious.
