In passato la persona creativa è sempre stata costretta a ribellarsi contro la società. Oggi la situazione sta cambiando, e questo perché l'intero contesto in cui viviamo sollecita nuove sfide che richiedono "risposte creative" funzionali al mondo liquido sorto intorno a noi. Per non lasciarsi travolgere dagli eventi, occorre spostarsi dall'abitudine a rispettare le certezze culturali e della tradizione, la propensione a dipendere dagli insegnamenti e dai comportamenti convenzionali, per avvicinare e coltivare le proprie qualità essenziali ed esistenziali.

Questa è un'opera sullo stupore e la meraviglia, che si rivolge a tutti coloro che sentono il richiamo del risveglio mormorare all'interno del loro essere, come un bisbigliare assordante; ma che al tempo stesso non sanno come orientarsi in quell'onda di piena che a tratti travolge. Osho avvicina alla più grande avventura cui l'essere umano possa aspirare. E ricorda che l'esistenza è meraviglia!

"Se ti senti un alieno in questo mondo, va benissimo; non è affatto qualcosa di sbagliato. Dovresti sentirti proprio così, perché il mondo nel quale devi vivere non ti permette di entrare in sintonia con gli altri, con le loro idee, con i loro comportamenti. Questo non è un mondo giusto - intendo dire che non è un mondo a misura d'uomo. E tu vorresti stare in questo mondo e sentirti parte? Sarà naturale sentirsi degli alieni; ma è qualcosa che dovrebbe renderti felice."

Noi tutti siamo in viaggio, o meglio in fuga. Gli eventi ci invadono, nel bene o nel male, rendendo impossibile qualsiasi elaborazione. E nulla di tutto ciò pare acquietare il bisogno profondo di sentirsi a casa nell'esistenza; anzi, la fantasia, l'immaginazione, ma anche i viaggi veri e propri non aiutano: qualcosa in noi sa che "essere a casa" è unaltra cosa, ha un altro sapore, una vibrazione differente. A un certo punto, viene il dubbio che il Reale sia qualcosa di diverso dalla realtà che l'umanità sta vivendo, agendo o subendo.

Una vita autentica, è questa la proposta esistenziale di Osho che qui affronta il tema della ribellione da diverse prospettive quotidiane, senza perdere di vista quello che da sempre è il vero destino dell'essere umano: una gioiosa comunione con l'esistenza. Nel caos sovrano che sembra ritmare la nostra epoca, potrebbe sembrare un discorso "fuori dal mondo". Di certo lo è, considerato lo stato in cui versa; infatti, Osho invita a guardare le cose con occhi più limpidi, per non tardare più l'assunzione delle proprie responsabilità, anche rispetto a quel caos.

Collana: I classici occidentali del risveglio Nietzsche prosegue così, nel suo così parlò Zarathustra: "Invero, vi esorto a fuggire dal prossimo e ad amare ciò che è più lontano!" E Osho chiarisce: "Il tuo prossimo non è altro che una parte della stessa folla alla quale anche tuappartieni. Non è diverso da te: segue la stessa religione, parla la stessa lingua, segue la stessamorale, ha gli stessi valori, crede nella stessa idea di Dio, va a pregare al tuo stesso tempio.
