According to Osho, when the sahasrara (crown center) first flowers there is an acute sense of inner silence and void, felt as something “other.” As it deepens, sensation diminishes while the reality intensifies; the gap closes, otherness dissolves, you become the happening. Finally, like healthy breathing, it’s present and expanding yet unfelt—pure, effortless being.
At first the crown opening feels like a big, strange quiet, but as you unite with it, the feeling fades because it becomes you—like not noticing your own breathing when all is well.
