definition
"Spirit exists beyond the confines of memory; it is a timeless presence that transcends both the factual and the psychological."
According to Osho, there are two kinds of memories: factual and psychological—not spiritual. Spirit has no past or future; it is a timeless presence without memories or imagination. Factual memory records events mechanically, leaving you a detached witness. Psychological memory is identification with emotions about events. Through meditation and witnessing, psychological memory dissolves, while factual memory becomes crystal clear, freeing energy and ending unnecessary suffering.
Your real self doesn’t store memories; only the mind does—when you stop adding feelings and stories through meditation, the hurt fades and only clear facts remain.
