Can the soul move about in the bodiless state between two births?

outcome
"In the bodiless state between two births, the soul transcends movement and rest, existing in a timeless dimension where these concepts dissolve into oneness."
According to Osho, between death and a new birth the soul is bodiless and abides in a dimension beyond time and space; therefore the categories of movement and rest do not apply. Movement and non‑movement are only degrees of the same phenomenon within time; in the bodiless interval they dissolve, so the soul can neither be said to travel nor to stay.
Between lives, the soul is in a place with no time or space, so ideas like moving or staying don’t make sense.
Why this matters practically
- Eases fear of death by reframing it as a timeless gap, not a journey.
- Encourages meditation beyond dualistic thinking like motion vs. rest.
- Reduces anxiety about “progress,” inviting trust in simple being.
