"The feeling of not knowing your existence is a friendly wave of innocence, a sign that you are on the right path; trust it, for it leads you into the unknowable where your individual flame merges with the whole."
According to Osho, the sudden sense of not knowing your existence is an auspicious “cloud of unknowing”—a shocking but friendly wave of innocence signaling you’re on the right path. It is not from outside; it is your own fragrance—your joy, peace, and silence—emerging. Trust it, move fearlessly, and it opens into the unknowable, where your separate flame remains while your roots merge with the whole.
That scary not-knowing is your true self waking up—don’t fear it; follow it and you’ll feel one with everything.
