Osho on the dynamic meditation

Before you read this blog, you can see what the Osho Dynamic Meditation is,

The whole energy has been called forth, nothing is left behind. All the frozen parts of energy are melting, flowing. You are not a frozen thing now, you have become dynamic. You are not like substance now, you are more like energy. You are not material, you have become electrical. Bring total energy to work, to be active, moving.

When everything is moving and you have become a cyclone, then become alert. Remember, be mindful - and in this cyclone suddenly you will find a centre which is absolutely silent. This is the centre of the cyclone. This is you - you in your divinity, you as a God.

All around you is activity. Your body has become an active cyclone - everything is moving fast, faster. All the frozen parts have melted, you are flowing. You have become a volcano, a fire, electricity. But just in the centre, amidst all this movement, there is a non-moving point, the still point.

This still point is not to be created. It is there, you are not to do anything about it. It has always been there. It is your very being, the very ground of your being. This is what Hindus have been calling the atman, the soul. It is there, but unless your body, unless your material existence becomes totally active, you will not be aware of it. With total activity the totally inactive becomes apparent. The activity gives you a contrast. It becomes the blackboard, and on the blackboard is the white dot. On a white wall you cannot see a white dot; on a blackboard the white dot appears to you.

So when your body has become active, dynamic, a movement, suddenly you become aware of a point which is still, absolutely still - the unmoving centre of the whole moving world. That is effortless. No effort is done for it. No effort is needed, it is simply revealed. Effort on the part of the periphery, no effort on the part of the centre. Movement on the periphery, stillness at the centre. Activity on the periphery, absolute inactivity at the centre. Effort and effortlessness, movement and no movement, activity and no activity, matter and the soul - these are the banks. And between these two flows the invisible, that which cannot ben seen, that which is really a subtle balance, nothing else, between these two - that art thou."
