According to Osho, unconsciousness is ‘false’ only in the sense of illusion: it exists psychologically, not as the way things truly are. Like mistaking a rope for a snake, the sleeping mind projects what is not onto what is. Reality is seen distorted in proportion to our sleep. Awakening—total awareness—dissolves the appearance and reveals what actually is.
Unconsciousness is like dreaming a snake when it’s just a rope—wake up and the scare ends.
