Prison

Q: What are the prisons that I call 'home'?

According to Osho, the 'prisons' you call home are your own conditioned mind: the hypnotic self-images, consoling religious beliefs, and denials that build a superficial personality and make you feel exceptional or already free. This unconscious conditioning keeps you ignorant of your actuality. Liberation begins when you first recognize you are in prison; in fact, that you are the prison, and refuse the comforting hypnosis of borrowed beliefs.

Prison

True liberation emerges when one acknowledges that the prisons we inhabit are woven from the fabric of our conditioned minds—hypnotic self-images and comforting beliefs that mask our reality, binding us in an illusion of freedom.

What are the prisons that I call 'home'?

definition

"Your true prison is the conditioned mind, the self-images and beliefs that create a false sense of freedom; liberation begins the moment you recognize that you are both the prisoner and the prison itself."

You’re stuck by the make-believe stories and comforting beliefs in your head; freedom starts when you admit you’re the one building the cage.
