NO YOU ARE NOT AT THE CENTER ON THE UNIVERSE!
The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 1 Chapter 17:A Flowering of Consciousness
OSHO
You can use it in two ways: either in rationalizing that you are already conscious; that’s what we are doing. Or, in digging deep and realizing that we are unconscious. That minute part of consciousness, that one-tenth part of the human iceberg, can be used in two ways: one is to go on rationalizing, thinking, imagining, dreaming that you are a conscious human being; this is what we are doing. Or, you can use it in digging within and recognizing that you are not conscious at all. This is what a seeker is expected to do.
Once you begin to feel that you are not conscious, consciousness has dawned on you. You are on the path. Now much can be done! Once you realize that you are imprisoned and “This is not my home but a prison,” now something can be done so that you can break out, escape. Now devices can be used, now something can be arranged. Now some contact can be made outside the prison. Now the guard can be bribed or something can be done. But nothing can be done if you go on thinking that you are not in the prison, that it is your house, that the prison guard is your watchman and he is in your service. If you were really born into a prison, it would look like that – as if everyone is in your service. The whole prison establishment seems to be in your service if you were born into the prison. How can you think that this is a prison?
To realize this, that this is a prison, is the first basic step for going out, because then something can be done. So you are unconscious. This is not a theory – mm? – this is a simple fact. This is not a theology: this is simple science. It is not concerned with religions and their hypothetical mythologies. Now it is a fact of science. That was the reason Freud was despised so much, condemned so much.
They say there have been three revolutions. One was the Copernican. Copernicus said that the earth is not the center of the universe and the sun is not going around the earth, but the earth is moving around the sun. The earth was deposed, the earth was dethroned. It was very humiliating to man’s mind, because when the earth was the center, man was the center of the universe. Everything was moving around man and man’s earth. Suddenly earth was not in the center at all – not only not in the center, but it was even not a very significant star. It was negligible, as if not. The earth was found to be moving around the sun, and the sun – our sun itself – was found to be moving around some greater sun, so we were not the center.
Then came Darwin, and he said man is related not to the divine but to the animals. He is not a descendant of God, but linked with apes, baboons, chimpanzees. He is a link in a long animal process. This was the second revolution – a very humiliating one, very ego-destroying. The earth was not the center, and man was not just below the angels – he was just a bit above the animals and nothing more, and even that “above” was not certain. Man was dethroned, deposed. He was just an animal.
