According to Osho, 'false' never means nonexistence. Unconsciousness exists as appearance—like mistaking a rope for a snake—an undulation of mind overlaying what is. In sleep, truth is mixed with distortion; awakening reveals reality as it is. Practices (meditation, kundalini, sadhana) are provisional 'sticks'—false cures for a false illness—useful only to cancel illusion until direct seeing makes them unnecessary.
Unconsciousness isn’t nothing; it’s a mental mistake that feels real until you wake up—like seeing a snake when it’s only a rope.
