Technique 95 FEEL THE FINE
QUALITIES OF CREATIVITY PERMEATING YOUR BREASTS AND ASSUMING DELICATE
CONFIGURATIONS
Osho - A few important points before I enter this....
Shiva is talking to Parvati, to Devi, his consort, so this technique is
specifically for women. There are a few points to be understood. One:
the male body and the female body are similar, but still, different in
many, many ways. And the difference is always complementary. Whatsoever
is positive in the male body will be negative in the female body; and
whatsoever is positive in the female body will be negative in the male
body. That is why when they meet in deep orgasm, they become one
organism. The positive meets the negative, the negative meets the
positive, and both become one -- one circle of electricity. Hence, so
much attraction for sex, so much appeal. This appeal is not because man
is a sinner or immoral, it is not because the modern world has become
too licentious, it is not because of obscene films and literature -- it
is very deep rooted, very cosmic.
The attraction is because both male and female are half circuits, and
there is an inherent tendency in existence to transcend whatsoever is
incomplete and to become complete. This is one of the ultimate laws --
the tendency towards completion. Wherever you feel something is lacking,
you feel that you would like to fill it, to make it complete. Nature
abhors incompleteness, any type of incompleteness. The male is
incomplete, the female is incomplete, and they can have only one moment
of completion -- when their electric circuits become one, when the two
are dissolved. That's why the two most important words in all languages
are love and prayer. In love you become one with a single individual; in
prayer you become one with the whole cosmos. And love and prayer are
similar as far as their inner workings are concerned.
Male and female bodies are similar, but their positive and negative
poles are different. When a child is born in the mother's womb, for a
few weeks, at least for six weeks I think, he is neutral -- he is
neither male nor female. He has the tendency, but the body is still just
in the middle. Then after six weeks the body will become either male or
female. If it becomes female, then the polarity of sex energy will be
near the breasts, the positive pole -- because the female vagina is the
negative pole. If the child is male, the sex center, the penis, will be
the positive pole, and the breasts are also there -- the whole mechanism
is there -- but they are negative. In the female body a counterpart to
the penis exists, the clitoris, but it is non-functional -- it has no
function.
Physiologists have been raising questions about why there are breasts in
the male body when there appears to be no need because a child is not
going to be fed. What is the need? They are negative poles. Hence so
much attraction of the male mind towards female breasts -- they are
positive electricity. So much poetry, literature, painting, sculpture,
everything, is concerned with female breasts. Really, it seems man is
less concerned with the whole of the feminine body, and more concerned
with the breasts. And this is not something new. The oldest primitive
paintings in the caves are of breasts, so emphatically of breasts that
the whole body is just around them. Breasts are basic.
This technique is for women because their positive electricity pole is
in the breasts. Really, as far as the vagina is concerned, it is more or
less insensitive. The breasts are the most sensitive parts, and the
whole creativity of the feminine body is around the breasts.
That is why Hindus have been saying that unless a woman becomes a mother
she is not fulfilled. The same is not true for men -- no one will say
that unless a man becomes a father he is not fulfilled. To be a father
is accidental. It may be, it may not be. It is not very basic, and a man
can remain without being a father without losing anything. But a woman
will lose something because her whole creativity, her whole functioning,
comes only when she becomes a mother. When her breasts become the center
of her being she becomes total. And she cannot come to the breasts
unless a child is there to call. So men marry women to get wives, and
women marry men to become mothers -- not to get husbands. Their basic
sole interest is to have a child who will call their womanhood. So
really, husbands are always afraid, because the moment a child is born
they move to the periphery of the woman's interest -- the child becomes
the center. So fathers always feel jealous because the children come
in-between. And now the woman is more interested in the children than in
the father of the children. He has become a peripheral existence --
necessary for survival but non-essential. Now the basic need has been
fulfilled.
In the West now there is a trend, a fashion, not to feed children
directly from the breasts. This is very dangerous because it means that
the woman will not come to the creative center of her being. When a man
loves a woman he can lover her breasts, he will love them, but he cannot
call them mother. Only a small child can call them mother. Or if the
love is very deep -- so deep that the husband becomes just like a child
-- then it is possible. Then the woman forgets completely that she is
just a consort and she becomes a mother to her lover. Then there will be
no need for a child; she can become a mother and the center of being can
happen near the breasts.
This technique says: FEEL THE FINE QUALITIES OF CREATIVITY PERMEATING
YOUR BREASTS AND ASSUMING DELICATE CONFIGURATIONS. The whole creativity
of feminine existence is rooted in motherhood. That is why women are not
interested in any other type of creativity. Man is a creator; woman is
not a creator. She has not painted, she has not created great poetry,
she has not written big books, she has not created great religions --
she has not done anything really. But man goes on creating, he is mad.
He goes on inventing, creating, making, constructing. Tantra says that
this is because man is not a creator by nature -- he remains
unfulfilled, tense. He wants to become a mother, he wants to become a
creator, so he creates poetry, he creates books, he creates many things,
he will `mother' many things. But a woman is at ease. If she can really
become a mother she is fulfilled, she is not interested. It is only when
a woman cannot become a mother, cannot love, cannot really come to the
peak of her creativity, that she will start thinking about doing
something else. So basically, uncreative women will become creators --
poets and painters -- but they will always be second-rate, they cannot
be first-rate. It is just as impossible for them to be creators of
paintings and poetry and other things, as it is impossible for man to
create a child. He cannot become a mother, that is biologically
impossible. And he feels the gap. To fill the gap he goes on doing many
things -- but still even a great creator is not as fulfilled, or only
very rarely, as a woman is if she really becomes a mother.
A Buddha is fulfilled because he has created himself. He is reborn, he
has given rebirth to himself, he is a new man, he is both father and
mother to himself now. He can feel fulfilled.
A woman can feel fulfilled more easily. Her creativity is just around
the breasts. That's why all over the world, women are concerned so much
with their breasts -- it is as if their whole existence is concentrated
there. They are always alert about their breasts -- hiding or
exhibiting, but always concerned. The breasts are their most secret
part, their treasure, their center of being; of being mother, of being a
creator.
Shiva says: FEEL THE FINE QUALITIES OF CREATIVITY PERMEATING YOUR
BREASTS AND ASSUMING DELICATE CONFIGURATIONS. Just concentrate on the
breasts, become one with them, forget the whole body. Move your total
consciousness to the breasts and many phenomena will happen to you. If
you can do this, if you can concentrate totally near the breasts, the
whole body will lose weight, and a very sweet, deep sweetness will
envelop you. It will pulsate around you, within you, above, below,
everywhere -- a deep feeling of sweetness.
Really, all the techniques that have been developed have been developed
more or less by man, so they always give centers which are easier for
men to follow. As far as I know, only Shiva has given some techniques
which are basically for women. A man cannot do this. Really if a man
tries to concentrate near the breasts he will become very uneasy. Try
it. Even within five minutes you will start perspiring and you will
become very uneasy, because male breasts are negative, they will give
you negativity. You will feel uneasy, uncomfortable, that something is
going wrong in the body, ill.
But female breasts are positive. If women concentrate near the breasts,
they will feel very happy, very blissful, a sweetness will pervade all
over their being and their body will lose gravity. They will feel light,
as if they can fly. And with this concentration many things will change:
you will become more motherly. You may not become a mother but you will
become more motherly. To everyone your relationship will become motherly
-- more compassion, more love will happen. But this concentration near
the breasts should be done very relaxedly, not tensely. If you are tense
about it there will be a division between you and the breasts. Relax and
melt into them, and feel that you are no more, that only the breasts are
there.
If man has to do the same he will have to do it with the sex center, not
with the breasts. Hence the importance of the first chakra in all
kundalini yogas. He has to concentrate just at the root of the penis --
there he has the creativity, there he is positive. And remember this
always: never concentrate on anything negative because with the negative
everything negative will follow. With the positive, everything positive
will follow.
When the two poles of man and woman meet, negative is in the upper part
of man, positive is in the lower; and negative is in the lower part of
woman and positive in the upper. These two poles of positive and
negative meet and a circle is created. That circle is blissful, but it
is not ordinary. In ordinary sexual acts, the circle does not happen --
that is why you feel so attracted towards sex, and so repelled also. You
feel so much for it, you need it so much, you ask for it so much, but
when it is given, when it is there, you feel frustration -- nothing
happens. It is possible only when both the bodies are very relaxed and
very open to each other without any fear, without any resistance. Then
the let-go is so complete that the electricities can merge and meet and
become a circle.
Then there is a very strange phenomenon.... Tantra has recorded it but
you may not have heard of it. This phenomenon is a very strange one.
When two lovers really meet and become a circle then a flickering
happens. For a moment the lover becomes the beloved and the beloved
becomes the lover, and the next moment, again the lover is lover and the
beloved is the beloved. The male becomes the female for a moment, then
the female becomes the male for the moment -- because the energy is
moving, and it has become one circle. So it will happen that the male
will be active for a few minutes and then he will relax and the female
will become active. That means that now the male energy has passed to
the female body and she will act while the male will remain passive. And
this will go on. Ordinarily you are man, and woman. In deep love, in
deep orgasm, it will happen that for moments man will become woman, and
the woman will become man. It will be felt, absolutely felt and
recognized, that the passivity changes.
In life there is rhythm; in everything there is rhythm. When you take a
breath, the breath goes in -- then for a few seconds it stops, there is
no movement. Then again it moves, out it goes -- and again there is a
stop, a gap, no movement. Movement, no movement, movement. When your
heart beats, there is one beat, gap, another beat, gap. The beat means
male, the non-beat gap means female.
Life is rhythm. When two persons meet, male and female, it becomes a
circle: there will be gaps for both. You will be a woman and suddenly
there will be a gap and you are no longer a woman, you have become a
man. You will be man and woman and man. When these gaps are felt you can
feel that you have achieved a circle. This circle is represented in
Shiva's symbol-the shiva-linga. This circle is represented by the yoni
of Devi and linga of Shiva. It is a circle. It is one of the peak
phenomena of two high energies meeting.
This technique will be good. FEEL THE FINE QUALITIES OF CREATIVITY
PERMEATING YOUR BREASTS AND ASSUMING DELICATE CONFIGURATIONS. Simply
relax, move into the breasts, let your breasts become your whole being.
Let the whole body be just a situation for the breasts to exist, your
body has become secondary, just a background, and the breasts are
emphasized. And you are totally relaxing in them, moving in them. Then
your creativity will arise. The feminine creativity arises only when the
breasts become active. Merge into them and you will feel creativity
arising.
What does it mean when creativity arises? You will have many visions
around you. Buddha and Mahavir have said in their past lives that when
they are born their mothers will see certain visions, certain dreams.
Because of those dreams, it could be predicted that a Buddha was going
to be born. Sixteen visions would follow each other.
I have been experimenting with this. If a woman really melts into her
breasts, certain visions will follow in a certain sequence. She will
start seeing certain things. To different women there will be different
sequences, but I will tell you a few. One, there will be figures, human
figures, and if the woman is going to give birth to a child, then the
figure of the child will appear. If total melting has happened in the
breasts then the woman can see what type of child is going to be born to
her. The figure will appear, and then it will be more clear. If she is
not going to be a mother soon or she is not pregnant, then very unknown
scents, perfumes will happen around her. The breasts can become sources
of very delicate perfumes which are not of this world, which cannot be
created chemically; sounds, harmonious sounds will be heard; all the
realms of creativity can appear in new and many configurations. All that
has happened to great painters and poets will happen to the woman if she
can melt into her breasts.
And this will be so real that it will change her total personality --
she will become different. And if she goes on with these visions, by and
by they will drop, and a moment will come when nothingness, void,
emptiness will happen -- SHUNYATA will happen. This SHUNYATA is the
highest of meditations.
So remember this: if you are a woman, don't concentrate on the third
eye. It will be better for you to concentrate near the breasts -- on the
breasts, right on the two nipples of the breasts. Concentrate there. And
the second thing: don't concentrate on one breast -- concentrate on both
simultaneously. If you concentrate on one, your body will immediately be
disturbed. Even paralysis is possible if you concentrate on only one. So
just concentrate on both simultaneously, melt into them and allow
whatsoever happens to happen. Just go on watching and don't get attached
to any rhythm because the rhythms will be very beautiful, just heavenly.
Don't get attached. Go on watching them and be a witness. A moment will
come when they will start disappearing -- and when SHUNYATA,
nothingness, happens, when just space, just space remains and the
breasts have disappeared, then you are under the Bodhi tree.
