"The sensation of flying is not madness; it is a glimpse of grace, the upward pull of life that meditation reveals. Embrace the lightness within, but remain grounded in reality."
According to Osho, the sensation of flying or being free of gravity isn’t craziness; it’s an authentic glimpse of “grace,” the upward pull of life felt in deep meditation. You are the meeting point of gravity (body) and grace (consciousness). Meditation reveals this while increasing awareness, so you don’t confuse inner flight with outer reality. Enjoy the lightness inwardly, but don’t attempt physical flight; drugs can mimic it without awareness and are dangerous.
Feeling like you can fly in meditation means your inner self feels light and free, but your body still follows gravity—so enjoy it inside and don’t try to jump.
