Dissolution

Q: What happens when I feel, 'I am dissolving'?

According to Osho, when you feel 'I am dissolving,' the ego actually dissolves, because the sense of 'I' is only a feeling—not an objective reality. Unlike a house, which won’t vanish by feeling, the 'I' can be erased by its opposite feeling. Hence "false" spiritual methods (samadhi, imaginative cutting) effectively undo the "false" illness of ego.

Dissolution

In the moment of feeling one's own dissolution, the ego surrenders, revealing that the 'I' is merely a transient sensation rather than an absolute truth; unlike a house, it can vanish through the embrace of its opposite, exposing the illusion that false spiritual practices seek to remedy.

"When you feel 'I am dissolving,' it is the ego that dissolves, revealing that the 'I' is merely a fleeting feeling, not an objective reality."

Because the 'me' is just a feeling, if you truly feel it melting, it melts—unlike real things outside you.
