| 085 | The New Dawn Talks given from 18/06/87 pm to 04/07/87 pm, English Discourse series, 33 Chapters, Year published : 1989 Content : A many-faceted series of discourses in which Osho dismantles a great variety of questions from disciples. One asks : With the imminent possibility of global suicide isn’t it a paradox that all we can do is to sit silently? Another worries about the misuse of genetic science, and a third isn’t sure how to respond to the madness of living in the world. And there are many questions of the heart: about feelings of unworthiness; how to make the transition from loneliness; to aloneness and what we learn from love. Osho’s responses are applicable to everyone, everywhere, who is sincerely seeking to understand and to evolve. “Never before or after have I encountered anybody having such a harmonious and immensely creative view encompassing art, science, human psychology and religiousness. Certainly we would lack substantially without his vision of the new man.” Dr. A. Schleger, Ph.D., Institute of Technology, Switzerland | Read |
