definition
"Foresight is the ability to recognize that the masculine mind will falter, and only the feminine consciousness can heal humanity; in our deepest crises, we find the urgency to embrace the teachings of Lao Tzu and choose the path of Tao."
According to Osho, foresight is Lao Tzu’s capacity to see, millennia ahead, that the masculine mind—logic, aggression, conquest—would fail and that only the feminine consciousness—simplicity, humility, receptivity—could heal humanity. His teachings are revived now because crisis makes them urgent: at the far extreme we’re ready to reverse course, choose Tao, avert total war, and rebuild a sane, familial world.
Foresight means seeing trouble before it happens; Lao Tzu saw our pushy, fighting way would hurt us, so we’re bringing back his gentle, simple way to heal things now.
