According to Osho, when you 'lose consciousness' in a discourse you’re not comatose but spiritually asleep: thoughts, desires and conditioning form a dusty veil that screens about ninety‑eight percent of what’s said. You hear the sound yet miss the meaning. You exist in an in‑between state; only alert, choiceless listening and meditation remove the dust so the message penetrates.
Your busy mind blocks most of the talk, so you hear it but don’t really get it until you become quietly present.
