Ask Osho!

Why do people throughout history have a great capacity to imagine ghosts?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Ghosts are born from the fertile soil of fear, belief, and ignorance, where the mind weaves shadows into the fabric of reality."

We were scared of the dark, didn’t know what happens after death, and when sick people acted oddly we called it ghosts—then rituals and stories kept the idea going.
Why this matters practically
- Replaces fear with understanding, reducing superstition-driven harm and panic.
- Encourages compassion and treatment for mental illness instead of labeling 'possession.'
- Helps question inherited rituals and beliefs, choosing practices rooted in clarity.
