Primal Mirror

How did your parents mirror you in childhood and what is it you had to repress to receive their love? Recognizing when our childhood movie takes over, we can mobilize the adult part inside us and come back to what is natural and healthy.

Looking in the mirror of the past; recognizing the false identifications from childhood

“From childhood we are taught that be a good man. Nobody teaches us to be a true person.”  Osho

 
As children we develop a series of false identities or masks in response to the expectations and projections of those we depend on for survival. Over time these roles become autonomous and start to run our lives. We move between these roles with little or no awareness when we get triggered by external events in our woundedness.

Wounding happens when we are not seen and loved unconditionally as children. The wounded child inside us is a powerful and convincing identification which can keep us stuck in defense mode and, when triggered, we start to act out the same childhood movie from our past.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

In Primal Mirror we learn to bring in awareness so we can recognize when we are triggered and can step out of the unhealthy identifications from childhood. We start to listen and accept ourselves instead of remaining stuck by criticizing ourselves or blaming others. We begin to heal our wounded inner child by giving it the love and reassurance it needs – from our own adult resources.

You can attend this course when you are newly exploring the concept of the inner child or when you are familiar with your inner child, to reconnect again with this immensely resourceful part inside us.

Reclaiming and healing our inner child allows us to regain the spontaneous joy and wonder of life. It is the essential journey of life to become a child again – healed, whole and awake.

“Watching the mind, being aware of the mind — without choosing any side, choicelessly being aware — that is the secret.”  Osho

“Parents, because of their own investment – business, politics, religion, philosophy – are less interested in the potential of the child. They are more interested in how to mold the child so that he fits in their world, becomes respectable in their world, is not an outcast, is not a misfit. All this arises out of good intentions, but the result is not good. It is almost slaughtering the child, destroying, killing him. Most of his potential will always remain only potential. He will never be even aware what treasures he has brought with his life. He will die and those treasures will remain unopened.”  Osho.

The Rebel

This course is for everyone who has participated before in Primal Deconditioning Intensive and who still feels that certain patterns or habits are challenging to break or seem to slip back in over time. Where exactly do you sabotage yourself in your life and find crippling beliefs, or excuses not to show-up for yourself in the most loving way?

Owning up to ourselves is a liberating gift

“A rebel is one who does not react against the society, who understands the whole game of it and simply slips out of it. It becomes irrelevant to him.”  Osho

 
To keep living life according to our conditioning leaves us running around in circles, repeating patterns that keep us addicted, co-dependent, and fixed in negative behavior patterns.

When we stop blaming an outer reason or someone else to be the cause of our misery, we come to understand that the only change that can happen takes place from within ourselves. Then, whether our lives turn out to be an experience in paradise or having to go through hell again and again, is solely within our own willingness to take responsibility for what we have and what we can create in this very moment in our own lives.

“The pilgrimage of the rebel is full of surprises. He has no map, no guide, so every moment he is coming to a new space, to a new experience — to his own experience, to his own truth, to his own bliss, to his own love.”  Osho

 
Finding the source of our conditioning and taking responsibility for the unconscious patterns, enables us to start living our lives in a new way – in tune with the essential qualities and potential we were born with.

“Don’t become a revolutionary; become a rebel. A rebel is one who has no ideology, no ideals, who has nothing to impose upon himself, who takes life as it comes and takes it easily, who enjoys it, dances it and sings it. This spontaneity will give you the flavor called meaning. Otherwise life becomes just a repetition of the past. It is no more alive – just formalities and rituals; it becomes burdened.”  Osho

 
This course is recommended as a preparation for AFH – The OSHO Freedom Process.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

The Rebel focuses on developing our ability to watch without judgement – the key to a life of tremendous joy and freedom.

“The rebel is in a state of tremendous love with freedom — total freedom, nothing less than that. Hence, he has no savior, no God’s messenger, no messiah, no guide; he simply moves according to his own nature. He does not follow anybody; he does not imitate anybody. Certainly, he has chosen the most dangerous way of life; full of responsibility, but of tremendous joy and freedom.”  Osho

 
WHAT WILL I LEARN?

  • How to show up with presence and clarity in our own lives
  • Learning that taking responsibility for our own life sets us free
  • Understanding that freedom rests in our ability to go with the flow
  • How to be in the present moment with an open attitude towards life
  • How to live our lives as an unfolding adventure

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

  • A live 5-day residential course running over approximately 15-hours per day
  • Daily practice of OSHO Dynamic, OSHO Kundalini and OSHO Evening Meeting Meditations
  • Different techniques to become an independent grown-up
  • Silence and isolation outside the group sharings
  • Daily homework and introspection exercises
  • Osho insights and quotes about early childhood conditioning
  • Q&A with the facilitator

“The rebel has no path to follow; those who follow any path are not rebels. The very spirit of rebellion needs no guidance. It is a light unto itself.
 
“The people who cannot rebel ask for guidance, want to be followers. Their psychology is that to be a follower relieves them of all responsibility; the guide, the master, the leader, the messiah become responsible for everything. All that is needed of the follower is just to have faith. And just to have faith is another name of spiritual slavery.”  Osho
