According to Osho, a quantum leap isn't something you do; it's the sudden disappearance of the doer itself. See that the past is only memory, that thoughts fabricate the thinker. When thought subsides, the 'me' vanishes; this is utter discontinuity with the past. In this empty, ownerless awareness (anatta), the leap has already happened.
Stop trying to jump; when you see your thoughts and past are just stories, the busy 'me' disappears, and that's the leap.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
Entering the doorway of the divine is not as difficult as it seems. Everything we haven’t yet done appears difficult. The unfamiliar, the unknown, looks hard. That with which we have never been in relationship—how could we relate to it? We cannot even imagine it. One who does not know how to swim is astonished to see another moving easily in water. He thinks, This must be very difficult—surely a matter of life and death. Yet what could be simpler than swimming! In truth, swimming is not an art; it is simply the fruit of the courage to fall into water. The first time one falls in, one flails arms and legs, a bit chaotically. After a few days, a little order arises. That is what we start calling “swimming.” And once you can swim, you know well it was hardly something to be learned at all!
Osho, is there any practical process for being in the realm of existence beyond thoughts, in the void?
The way to thin them out is non-cooperation. Right now we are their makers—that is, we are the ones maintaining them. When we sit idle, some thought or other is running, because without our cooperation they cannot run. Withdraw your cooperation from whatever thoughts are running, and do nothing else; regard just this as samayik, as meditation. If all thoughts dissolve, you will feel no ego and no person within. You will know only being—only being will be known, in which the distinction “I am an individual” or “I am the whole” will not be felt. Only pure being will remain—pure existence. In truth, because of the thoughts accumulated upon that pure existence, we appear to be a person. This sense that I am “A,” you are “B,” you are “C”—the A, B, C we have pasted on—is our thought-power. We commonly say, “I will become liberated”—this is not quite…
Question: OSHO, EXACTLY HOW DO YOU NOT DO IT? I said, "This feeling is not from the awareness that you are, because your consciousness has remained the same. This sense of a new birth is coming from your ego; your ego is tremendously gratified, strengthened. That is your 'gain.' But according to those who know that is your loss." What is gain to the ego is loss to the soul. What is a blessing to the ego is a curse to the soul. What seems to be of tremendous importance to the ego is just sheer stupidity to the innermost core of your being. The logic of the ego is that it is never interested in the simple things, because if you say, "I can breathe!" that is not going to bring crowds to welcome you, to say, "Teertha, you are great! Your name will remain immortal because you breathe.
You begin, but if the end is also yours then the dancing was just ordinary dancing. But if you begin and by the end you feel as if somewhere in between the dancing was taken over by a nonvoluntary mechanism, then it has become a dervish dance. You move so fast that the body shakes and becomes nonvoluntary. That is the point where you can go crazy or you can jump. You may go mad, because a nonvoluntary mechanism has taken over your body movement. It is beyond your control: you cannot do anything. You may just go mad and never be able to come back again from this nonvoluntary movement. This is the point where there is either madness or, if you know the technique to jump, meditation. That is why Sufis have always been known as mad people. They have been known as mad! Ordinarily, they are mad.
In 1969 followers of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi invited Osho to talk to them. This was the first occasion on which Osho addressed a western audience, and the first time he talked publicly at length in English. The discourse has been published in OTI January 1 & 16, 1991; and February 1, 1991. Osho: Really, there can be no method as far as meditation is concerned. Meditation is not a method. Through technique, through method, you cannot go beyond mind. When you leave all methods, all techniques, you transcend mind. So meditation itself is not a method. Truth cannot be achieved through method. Method is our own invention. We, who are ignorant, have achieved knowledge through methods constructed, created, projected, in our ignorance. Through method you can achieve a sort of self-hypnosis, a sort of auto-hypnosis. Any method, whatsoever it's name, can only give you an illusory kind of peace.
