What does it mean to become conscious?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To become conscious is to illuminate the darkness within, allowing awareness to expand into the vastness of cosmic consciousness, where clarity and silence dissolve all burdens."
According to Osho, to become conscious is to bring inner light—through meditation—so awareness expands from ordinary mind into superconsciousness, collective superconsciousness, and cosmic consciousness. This upward movement instantly burns the unconscious ‘rubbish’; you don’t dig into darkness, you illuminate it. Consciousness is presence, clarity, and silence that dispels burden and tension, like lighting a candle rather than wrestling with the night.
Becoming conscious means stop fighting the mess in your head and simply switch on an inner light (meditation) so the mess melts away.

- Reduces stress and old baggage by meeting life with present-moment awareness.
