1 July: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "1 July" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Strong emotions that we dont know how to handle effectively lie at the core of so many difficulties in the life of the individual. They can affect our relationships with loved ones, and how we function in our work. They play a profound role in how we feel about ourselves, and can even affect our physical health. And we are too often trapped in the dilemma of expression versus repression. Expressing our emotions can often hurt others, but by repressing them even in the benevolent guise of self-control we risk hurting ourselves.Osho offers a third alternative, which is to understand the roots of our emotions and to develop the knack of watching them and learning from them as they arise, rather than being taken over by them. Eventually we find that even the most challenging and difficult situations no longer have the power to provoke us and cause us pain.Oshos unique insight into the workings of the mind, the heart, and the essence or being of the individual goes far beyond the understandings of conventional psychology. Over more than three decades of work with people from all walks of life, he has developed simple techniques and insights to help modern-day men and women to rediscover their own inner silence and wisdom.

Introduction
The title of this little book might give readers the idea that they have found another how to book. Not at all - this book will provide you with a different dimension, where all the questions about how are dissolved into a direct perception of your own, hidden reality.

Osho says:

We reduce everything into a how. There is a great how-to-ism all over the world, and every person, particularly the modern contemporary mind, has become a how-to-er: how to do this, how to do that, how to grow rich, how to be successful, how to influence people and win friends, how to meditate, even how to love. The day is not far off when some stupid guy is going to ask how to breathe. It is not a question of how at all. Dont reduce life into technology. Life reduced into technology loses all flavor of joy.

Here you will find insights to unlock your own intuitive understanding of yourself and your inner world. Some of the ideas you encounter may disturb you, may go against everything you think you already know. Others may fill you with the shock of recognition, as they bring words to a truth that it suddenly feels you have always known.

Whatever the case, relax.give it some time to sink in and watch. Come back to it again and again - and soon you will find new levels of understanding growing between the lines, as you come closer and closer to the truth of your own being.

No, this is not a how to book. It is a lamp that you can use, no matter who you are, to light the hidden corners of your own unique individuality.
What are emotions?
What are your thoughts except ripples on a lake?

What are your emotions, your moods, your sentiments?
What is your whole mind? - just a turmoil.
And because of this turmoil you cannot see your own nature.
You go on missing yourself.
You meet everybody in the world and you never meet yourself.

You are angry, but you cannot remain angry forever.
Even the angriest man laughs sometimes, has to.
It cannot become a permanent state of affairs,
being angry.

Even the saddest man smiles;
and even the man who laughs continuously
sometimes cries and weeps and tears come to his eyes.

Emotions cannot be permanent.
Thats why they are called emotions!
The word comes from motion, movement.
They move; hence, they are emotions.
From one to another you continuously change.

This moment you are sad, that moment you are happy;
this moment you are angry,
that moment you are very compassionate;
this moment you are loving, another moment full of hatred;
the morning was beautiful, the evening is ugly.
This goes on.
The ordinary commonsense view
is that the heart is the source of emotions like love or hate or anger. Just as the mind is the source of conceptual thoughts, the heart is the source of all that is emotional and sentimental.
That is the commonsense view.

We have lived with this traditional division,
that imagination and feeling and emotions
and sentiments are of the heart.

But your heart is just a pumping system.
Everything that you think or imagine or feel
is confined into the mind.
Your mind has seven hundred centers
and they control everything.

But when a person like Buddha talks about the heart
he means the very center of your being.
It is his understanding that your love,
your hate, everything, arises out of your mind.
And I think he is being absolutely scientific;
all psychologists will agree with him.
You can experiment, yourself.
You can see from where your anger arises - it is the mind;
from where your emotions arise - it is the mind.

Mind is a big phenomenon. It covers conceptual thinking,
it covers your emotional patterns, your sentiments.

This has to be understood: emotions are in your head!
But consciousness is not in your head.
In fact, your head is in your consciousness!
Consciousness is vast, infinite.

Emotions, desires, ambitions, are in your head; they will dry up. But even when your head has completely dropped and disappeared into the earth, your consciousness will not disappear. You dont contain the consciousness, the consciousness contains you; it is bigger than you.

It is absolutely true:
your emotions, your sentiments, your thoughts - the whole paraphernalia of the mind - is from the outside, is manipulated by the outside. Scientifically it has become more clear. But even without scientific investigation, the mystics, for thousands of years, have been saying exactly the same thing - that all these things that your mind is filled with are not yours, you are beyond them.

You get identified with them,
and thats the only sin.
Mind is a division which thinks,
and heart is another division of the same mind, which feels.

Feeling and thinking,
thoughts and emotions...
but witnessing is separate from both.
When you are thinking, the watcher watches... a thought is passing by, or you are feeling angry - the witness still watches. An emotion is passing by, just like clouds pass, and you see them.

You are neither the good nor the bad.
You are neither the pleasant nor the unpleasant.
You are neither the thought nor the emotions.
You are neither the mind nor the heart.

Love always makes one nervous.
There are reasons why it makes one nervous. It comes from the unconscious, and all your capacities are in the conscious; all your skill, all your knowledge, is in the conscious. Love comes from the unconscious and you dont know how to cope with it, what to do with it, and it is too much.

The unconscious is nine times bigger than the conscious, so whatsoever comes from the unconscious is overwhelming. Thats why people are afraid of emotions, feelings. They hold them back, they are afraid they will create chaos.

They do, but chaos is beautiful!

There is a need for order, and there is a need for chaos, too. When order is needed, use order, use the conscious mind; when chaos is needed, use the unconscious and let chaos be. A whole person, a total person, is one who is capable of using both, who does not allow any interference of the conscious into the unconscious or of the unconscious into the conscious.

We believe in life in its totality, in its days,
in its nights, the sunny days and the cloudy days.
We believe that everything in life can be enjoyed.
You need just a little more awareness,
more consciousness of what is happening.
You are not your mind, you are not your body.
There is a witness somewhere inside you
