"Philosophia Ultima" is a profound exploration of the essence of ultimate wisdom, presented through Osho's insightful lens. This series delves deeply into the nature of philosophy as a pursuit of truth, transcending traditional boundaries and inviting a personal journey towards enlightenment. Osho articulates a revolutionary vision where philosophical inquiry becomes a lived, experiential wisdom rather than mere intellectual exercise. He emphasizes detaching from rigid ideologies and doctrines, leading listeners to embrace a fluid, open understanding of life. Central to the discourse is the dismantling of dualistic thought, encouraging a synthesis of reason and intuition as pathways to comprehend the ineffable. Osho addresses the limitations of language and logic and promotes a kind of inner silence that can witness life's mysteries directly.

"Philosophia Ultima" challenges seekers to move beyond comfort zones, to question inherited truths, and to embrace uncertainty as a fertile ground for genuine insight. Ultimately, Osho offers a compassionate call to awaken to one's true nature, advocating a life lived in harmony with the deeper truths of being.

Man is Born as Freedom 12 December 1980
Man is born as freedom: choose and create yourself; freedom is risky and can be misused, while true spirituality is ordinary, creative self-responsibility.
3
I Teach the Commune 13 December 1980
The family is outdated and imprisoning; communes, sexual freedom, contraception and even abortion free humanity from religious conditioning to rediscover love.
4
Be Assertive! 14 December 1980
Be assertive, not defensive or aggressive: truth must be nakedly proclaimed rather than compromised; don't betray your inner experience even under inquiry.
5
That State is Awakening 15 December 1980
Transcend waking, dreaming and deep sleep into the fourth (Turiya): true awakening is de-programming the ego and beyond introversion or extroversion.
6
You Transcend Duality 16 December 1980
Transcend duality: balance ecstatic creativity and silent egolessness—let the ego die so the true song arises; shout the truth yet embrace silence.
7
Spirituality is the Ultimate in Luxury 17 December 1980
Are the poor higher than the rich? Osho rejects that consolation: poverty is not spiritual. Spirituality is luxury that emerges once material needs are met.

Simply Get Out by the Door 18 December 1980
Become blissful yourself before helping others; genuine compassion flows naturally from meditation, not intellectual synthesis, so be the lit candle that overflows.

Silence and bliss unite in Turiya: a state beyond outer/inner awareness, beyond knowing or unknowing, realised only by becoming one with the Real Self.
10
A Challenge to my Love 20 December 1980
Poetic words can be beautiful yet unconscious; love is an awakened state realized by meditation, not mere song — Lennon's death shows talk without lived surrender.
11
Ego is Just a Habit 21 December 1980
Ego is a habit; spontaneity and love are found by removing mind's layers—negative work reveals your being. Don't drop ego, watch it; love can't be willed.
12
Get Disturbed 22 December 1980
Your moral outrage is projection: conditioning, conscience and fear disturb you; true religion is inner consciousness, freedom, and beauty in authentic action.

Make it Your Only Longing 23 December 1980
AUM's fourfold sound maps waking, dreaming, deep sleep and the transcendental fourth (Turiya); aim to become that wholeness - make it your only longing.
14
Wholeness -- A Single Word Contains It 24 December 1980
Inner growth without outer development breeds poverty; true service must build wealth, spread technology and promote birth control—then aid becomes real.
15
Truth as it is -- Naked 25 December 1980
Truth is seen, not argued: the original face is found beyond mind and words in silent meditation; beware cooked teachings and false saints!
16
This is Far Out 26 December 1980
Sex for reproduction is sinful - it's unconscious animality; free women from reproductive burden to unleash higher creative, playful, non-purposive love.
