Synthesized from Source
definition
"Homosexuality is a natural step in the journey of sexual growth, but true liberation lies in transcending all sexual identities to embrace love and spiritual awakening."
According to Osho, homosexuality is a natural yet earlier rung in sexual growth—after autosexuality and before heterosexuality—but the real task is to transform and ultimately transcend all sexuality. He isn’t “against” it; he warns against clinging to any stage. Guilt is unnecessary; awareness and maturation move one beyond sexual identity toward love, meditation, and a post-sex, spiritually ripened life.
Homosexuality can be a normal step, but Osho says don’t get stuck—keep growing beyond all sexual labels into love and meditation.
