A quiet tension in the background
Most of us don’t think about death very often.
And yet, somewhere in the background, it is always there.
Not as a clear thought, but as a subtle tension… a quiet fear that keeps us from fully relaxing into life.
It shows up in small ways — in the difficulty to switch off, to let go, to trust life as it is.
And what is not faced doesn’t disappear — it stays with us.
A different way of approaching it
In this course, you begin to explore this directly. Not by thinking about death, but by learning how to let go — of tension, control, and the constant activity of the mind. Because the way we meet small “letting go’s” in everyday life is deeply connected to how we meet death itself.
Meditation as direct experience
Osho calls meditation “total death, voluntary death” and says that only by dying to the past do we become alive to the present. Meditation is the only way to know death from the inside. Until then we have only experienced death from the outside, other people’s death, or the death of an animal or plant. To know, from within, what it means to release, to soften, to disappear as the mind… while something deeper remains.
Through selected meditative techniques from Osho’s Book of Secrets, you are invited to experience this space of witnessing for yourself.
What begins to change
And from this, something real begins to change. You become less reactive. Less afraid of losing control.
More able to stay present — even in difficult or unknown situations. Including moments of loss, change… and death.
From this space, a natural trust arises — something that grows from your own experience.
And this trust doesn’t stay only within you. It changes how you are with others — especially in moments when presence matters most.
“If just once a person could see what dying is like, what happens in death, then the next time he would have no fear of death because there would be no death.”

"It is just like when a drop is afraid before it falls into the ocean because to fall into the ocean means to dissolve, to disappear. It is natural for the drop to be afraid. To meet the ocean means its death, and death creates fear. But if the drop could know that there is also another aspect to dissolving into the ocean – the drop will disappear as a drop and it will become the ocean… If the drop could only realize that its death is also its life as the vast, as the deathless, then it would not be afraid." - Osho
