There are many frightening sayings about beings who are sensitive to forms and formless spirits. However, in the operation of the seven chakras and seven bodies, the perception of energy and contact with souls is an ability possessed by those who are aware of their second and third chakras (bodies). It is also a basic latent potential of humanity. However, due to cultural influences and the fact that the wisdom of highly enlightened beings has not yet penetrated the general populace, some mysterious events are described in increasingly terrifying ways. For example: spiritual obstacles created by past-life karmic debts, or a certain “life mission” that must be fulfilled due to a past-life promise… all sorts of bizarre claims.
Awareness, Humanity’s Basic Potential
According to Osho’s explanations, if humans can become aware of the state of their fourth body, many of humanity’s hidden potentials can be developed. At that time, we begin to enter a truly superhuman life. Our potential includes the ability to create gods and to create some of the mysterious happenings in nature. And these are potentials that can be developed by anyone who enters a correct way of living.
Beyond this, we still have the wisdom of the fifth, sixth, and seventh bodies that can be excavated even more deeply.
We Are All “Primordial Buddhas”
But people are still unable to squarely face the fact that “human” beings all carry the same potential as the highest saints. This is just as in Buddhist sayings, where we all carry the “seed of Buddhahood.” Therefore, many cultivators will respectfully call us ordinary people “Primordial Buddhas.” Because of this, if we can perceive ourselves from the perspective of a future Buddha, then perhaps we can more deeply comprehend that many mysterious phenomena are nothing more than natural cosmic phenomena.
The Buddha’s Recommendation: The Metta Sutta
Of course, for a person to deeply respect themselves and understand the sacred connection between the self and the universe, it still requires a kind of “effortless effort” (不努力) that must be achieved through effort. Before we can be perfectly accomplished, the Buddha once preached the “Metta Sutta” (The Sutta of Loving-Kindness, 慈經) for those who were trapped by external spiritual obstacles and unable to practice. It allows those of us who are not yet accomplished to live in friendly and perfect harmony with all sentient beings in this natural universe. Of course, we can also use recollection and recitation to help ourselves and to pay respect to all beings who coexist with us.
