About The Book of Secrets 112 Keys to the Mystery Within In The Book of Secrets we are invited to experience and experiment with the games and situations that everyday life brings through the tools of our senses. The 4000-year-old Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is a compendium of highly condensed, telegraphic instructions for 112 different awareness techniques that bring us into the present moment. Osho describes each technique in detail, and explains how we can discover the best one for us and integrate it into our daily lives. In this book, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience. Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today, Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience but is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra – the very word means technique – is a set of powerful transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily lives. “These techniques, if followed, suddenly turn your mind. It comes to the present. And when the mind comes to the present it stops, it is no more. You cannot be a mind in the present, that is impossible.” Osho Chapter Titles Chapter 1: The World of Tantra Chapter 2: The Path of Yoga and the Path of Tantra Chapter 3: Breath - A Bridge to the Universe Chapter 4: Overcoming the Deceptions of the Mind Chapter 5: Five Techniques of Attentiveness Chapter 6: Devices to Transcend Dreaming Chapter 7: Techniques to Put You at Ease Chapter 8: Total Acceptance and Non-Division: The Meaning of Tantric Purity Chapter 9: Techniques for Centering Chapter 10: Self Actualisation: The Basic Need Chapter 11: Techniques to Penetrate the Inner Chapter 12: Beyond Mind to the Source Chapter 13: Inner Centering Chapter 14: Changing the Direction of Energy Chapter 15: Seeing the Past as a Dream Chapter 16: Beyond the Sin of Unconsciousness Chapter 17: Several Stop Techniques Chapter 18: Remaining with the Facts Chapter 19: A Technique for the Intellectual and a Technique for the Feeling Type Chapter 20: Ordinary Love and the Love of a Buddha Chapter 21: Three Looking Techniques Chapter 22: Unblocking the Third Eye Chapter 23: Several More Looking Methods Chapter 24: Doubt or Faith, Life or Death: The Bases of Different Paths Chapter 25: From Words to Pure Words to Being Chapter 26: Acceptance of the Peaks and the Valleys Chapter 27: Soundlessness, Soundfulness and Total Awareness

This is the basic note -- total acceptance. And only through total acceptance can you grow. Then use every energy you have. How can you use them? Accept them, then find out what these energies are -- what is sex, what is this phenomenon. We are not acquainted with it. We know many things about sex, taught by others. We may have passed through the sex act, but with a guilty mind, with a suppressive attitude, in haste, in a hurry. Something has to be done in order to become unburdened. The sex act is not a loving act. You are not happy in it, but you cannot leave it. The more you try to leave it, the more attractive it becomes. The more you want to negate it, the more you feel invited. You cannot negate it, but this attitude to negate, to destroy, destroys the very mind, the very awareness, the very sensitivity which can understand it. So sex goes on with no sensitivity into it. Then you cannot understand it. Only a deep sensitivity can understand anything; only a deep feeling, a deep moving into it, can understand anything. You can understand sex only if you move in it as a poet moves amidst flowers -- only then! If you feel guilty about flowers, you may pass through the garden, but you will pass with closed eyes. And you will be in a hurry, in a deep, mad haste. Somehow you have to go out of the garden. Then how can you be aware? So tantra says, accept whatsoever you are. You are a great mystery of many multidimensional energies. Accept it, and move with every energy with deep sensitivity, with awareness, with love, with understanding. Move with it! Then every desire becomes a vehicle to go beyond it. Then every energy becomes a help. And then this very world is nirvana, this very body is a temple -- a holy temple, a holy place.
