Can I still catch measles after being inoculated as a child?

"To truly awaken, you must unlearn the conditioning that inoculates you against the living truth; only then can you meet existence with fresh eyes."
According to Osho, you've been 'inoculated' by social and religious conditioning, so you cannot catch the 'measles' he means - the living contagion of awakening. Fixed images of Christ, Buddha, or any master act like vaccines, blocking direct recognition. Unless you unlearn these implants and meet existence freshly, even a living Christ could stand before you and you'd miss him.
Our upbringing stuffs us with ideas that block real spiritual aliveness; drop the ideas to feel it directly.
Why this matters practically
- Notice when second-hand beliefs are filtering what you see.
- Practice unlearning—question images and doctrines to regain openness.
- Meet people and moments freshly, so truth can touch you directly.
