The present framing of the cultural debate in terms of materialism versus religion has allowed materialism to go unchallenged as the only rationally viable metaphysics.

We are all living an existence that none of us chose and none of us truly understand. Naturally, everything can—at times—feel strange, chaotic, and overwhelming.

In "Tao" nimmt Osho die Zuhörer mit auf eine Reise in die Welt von Laotse, Zhuangzi, Liehzi und Koh Xuan – die Welt des Taoismus, einer der vier großen spirituellen Traditionen Chinas. Die 3000 Jahre alte taoistische Botschaft der Selbsterkenntnis wird lebendig, während Osho die Geschichten dieser chinesischen Mystiker erzählt. Im Gegensatz zur gängigen Vorstellung vom Taoismus, der einen eher gelassenen, dem Fluss des Lebens entsprechenden Lebens nahelegt, beschreibt Osho das Tao als ein Konzept von Freiheit, Anarchie und Chaos.

In this book, we respond to that question by reclaiming the truth of our identity as Evolution in Person—not as a contrivance or social construction but rather rooted in the best integration of the great interior and exterior sciences. We are not separate selves, but Unique Selves—irreducibly unique expressions of the LoveIntelligence and LoveBeauty that is the initiating and animating Eros of Cosmos, living in us, as us, and through us. An essential part of reclaiming our larger identity is the question of gender identity.
