Why are Western and Eastern psychologists not recognizing Osho's teachings?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Modern psychology, shackled by materialism, overlooks the soul's depth, dismissing the very essence of being that it should seek to understand."
According to Osho, psychologists—West and East—ignore his vision because modern psychology is dominated by Western materialism. Born under the prestige of ‘science’ and its object-centered methods, psychology denies the soul and inner subjectivity it should study. Eastern academies imported this bias, abandoning their own millennia of consciousness inquiry. Hence teachings on inner evolution, being, and immortality are dismissed as unscientific.
They rely on tools that only measure what’s visible, so they ignore our invisible inner being—and Eastern schools copied this habit.
Why this matters practically
- Include inner experience, not just data, when understanding the mind and healing.
- Blend meditation and self-inquiry with scientific methods.
- Take responsibility for conscious evolution beyond biology.
