Is choiceless awareness a kind of choice, and what is the paradox involved?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Choiceless awareness is not a choice; it is the purest form of awakening, where you simply observe without the interference of bias or preference."
According to Osho, choiceless awareness is not a choice but pure awakening: you simply look, without deciding right/wrong or accepting/rejecting. Awareness by nature is choiceless; the moment choice appears, bias and psychological sleep begin. The paradox is that trying to 'choose' choicelessness reintroduces choice—so one cannot decide into awareness; one relaxes into simple, preference-free seeing.
Don’t pick sides—just watch everything without liking or disliking, because choosing blocks clear seeing.
