What happened between my last life and my present life?

"Between lives, there is only a silent gap of awareness or oblivion; no events transpire, for happenings require a body."
According to Osho, nothing happened between your last life and this one. There is only a bodiless gap where no events occur, because happenings require a body. In that interval you are either unconscious (no memory) or conscious (you remember only emptiness). Hence the question “what happened?” doesn’t apply—there were no happenings, only awareness or oblivion.
Between lives there’s just a quiet pause with no events; if you were awake you’d notice the silence, if asleep you’d notice nothing.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces fear of death by seeing the interval as a neutral pause, not a drama.
- Refocuses attention on living and growing now—where events and choices actually happen.
- Encourages cultivating awareness so even the gap can be consciously witnessed.
