They have different individuality , you are born with a unique individuality (true personality).

Why do you think personality doesn't changes with change in face and physique ? (I don't mentioned appearance or state of mind)

Then certainly he is not a happy person.

Learn Osho dynamic meditation.

Face changes when your being changes.

The horror of Meth: Before-and-after

He considers only the space in which he is. Now it is his freedom to speak according to the peak, the sunlit peak where he is, or to consider the people who are still in the dark valley. An enlightened person is never wrong, but he can be useful or he can be useless.He is useless! for us because we cannot think to his level He is perfectly right; about that there is no question, because I know the peak and what he is saying is certainly true -- from the vision of the peak. Those who have arrived, for them the journey becomes almost a dream phenomenon. For those who have not arrived the journey is real, the goal is just a dream. They are living in two different worlds. For thousands of years we have been told the ego does not exist. Has it helped us in any way? There have been people who have told, in India particularly, that the whole world is illusory, MAYA, it does not exist, but has it helped India in any way? The true test is there: whether it has helped, whether it has made people more authentic, more real. It has not helped at all. It has made people more deeply cunning, split, schizophrenic; it has made them hypocrites. Zen says no effort is needed, nothing has to be done. When nothing has to be done, what is the need of a Master? -- because the Master will tell you to do something. Nothing has to be done -- what is the need of the scriptures? -- because the scriptures will tell you to do something, to know something. Nothing has to be done, nothing has to be known. You are already there where you are trying to reach. And I know this is true, but to talk about this ultimate truth to people who are living in tremendous darkness is futile .No enlightened person can ever be wrong, but only few enlightened persons have been of help. The majority of enlightened people have been of no help at all, for the simple reason because they never considered the other.

First you have to understand that your personality is not your reality; it is given by the culture, by the society. Individuality is yours, but personality is not yours. As personality you are always dead; only as individuality are you alive. But to be an individual you have to rebel against personality and against all those people who are forcing a certain personality on you. Each child is born with a certain potential to be – and each society tries to make him something else. The greatest adventure that can happen to a human being is the movement from mind to no-mind, the movement from personality to individuality. The no-mind has an individuality: the mind is social. All your personalities are absolute cover-ups, hiding your individuality. Try to find your individuality, your integrity, and make the effort of not compromising. Because the more you compromise, the less you are an individual. You are only a cog in the wheel, just a part in the vast mechanism, just a small part of the mob -- not an individual in your own beauty, in your own right. The disappearance of your person is not your disappearance, remember; on the contrary, it is your appearance. As your person disappears, your personality falls away; your individuality, your individual arises. To have a personality is hypocrisy. To be an individual is your birthright. To be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. Nobody wants you to be on your own. The first step is: accept yourself as you are; drop all shoulds. Don't carry any ought on your heart! You are not to be somebody else; you are not expected to do something which doesn't belong to you -- you are just to be yourself. Relax! and just be yourself. Be respectful to your individuality. and have the courage to sign your own signature. Don't go on copying others signatures. Don't bother whether you become a world-famous artist or not; that is not the significant thing. But create something -- a beautiful song, a little music, a dance, a painting, a garden. Unless a person decides that "Whatever the cost, I want just to be myself. Condemned, unaccepted, losing respectability -- everything is okay but I cannot pretend anymore to be somebody else"... This decision and this declaration -- this declaration of freedom, freedom from the weight of the crowd -- gives birth to your natural being, to your individuality. Then you don't need any mask. Then you can be simply yourself, just as you are. And the moment you can be just as you are, there is tremendous peace that passeth understanding. It happens in poetry, in music, in dance, only for a small moment that you slip out of your personality and touch your individuality. But only because it happens for a small moment, you are not afraid; you always come back. In meditation, once you are gone in, you are gone in. Then, even when you resurrect you are a totally different person. The old personality is nowhere to be found. You have to start your life again from ABC. You have to learn everything with fresh eyes, with a totally new heart. That's why meditation creates fear.

You can go into meditation just by sitting, but then be just sitting; do not do anything else. For some beginners sitting silently doing nothing is very difficult. If you are told to become silent without making any effort you will find great difficulty. I listened to http://osho.radio.net/ . Osho said that, " My words keep you awake, and just between the words I give you gaps. And those are the real, essential things. Waiting for another word, you have to listen to silence. "

The problem is, you have to bring the child up, and somebody has to take care, and whoever is going to take care is going to, knowingly or unknowingly, condition the mind of the child. It is not a question that you have to program consciously. There is no possibility of anybody being brought up unprogrammed. In that thought-less state of mind there is no conditioning. Only meditation can uncondition you. You are a conditioned mechanism. Only through meditation is there a possibility to uncondition the mind. Only a meditator goes beyond conditioning. Why? Because every conditioning works through thoughts. If you feel you are a Buddhist , what is it? ― a cluster of thoughts given to you when you were not even aware of what was being given to you. A cluster of thoughts and you are a Christian, a Catholic, a Protestant. Only in meditation thoughts dissolve ― all thoughts. You become thought-less. In that thought-less state of mind there is no conditioning: you are no longer a Hindu, nor a Christian, nor a Communist, nor a Fascist. You are no longer anybody ― you are simply yourself. For the first time all conditioning has been dropped. You are out of the prison. There is only one possibility: that is individual flowering of no-mind. You attain to thoughtlessness. then nobody can condition you, then all conditionings drop. Then, for the first time, you are free. Then the whole space is yours: without any limitations, without any walls, in life you move, you live, you love, you rejoice, you delight.

Check again, now there no God, only nothingness.

Now, there are 2 positive. So many dogs, my god! In fact dog is just a god spelt wrongly.

The word warrior has lost its old meaning. Now there are no warriors; there are people who will come like a thief on the plane and drop bombs and escape. Forced celibacy helps tremendously in becoming a warrior, religions preached celibacy which resulted in holy wars, crusades, jihads. If your whole energy is diverted in learning martial arts, you will become great warrior. A great warrior lives with the belief of victory, and a great warrior cannot be defeated, because of his belief. His belief is an Armour. Bruce lee said that "What good would it do a boxer to learn to meditate?, he is a fighter, not a monk." And he was right , meditation can fill you with compassion.

@Sidi Don't help until you become so crystallized that you are not affected by their depression. Awareness becomes your natural state, if you are doing efforts to remain aware, that awareness is not real. I'm not saying don't help a child in the forest if you find him crying and weeping. But try to understand: your own light is not burning and you start helping others. Compassion is a very delicate affair. It certainly has some place in making an effort to help others, but there are many conditions which have to be fulfilled first.. Compassion certainly includes the idea of helping others, but not against their will. If somebody does not want to be helped, you are not to force him; not at the point of a sword do you have to help him. That is not helping. That simply shows that in the name of helping you are trying to dominate people. Compassion cannot allow you even to do good to the other person if he is not ready for it. Compassion gives total freedom, respect and dignity to the other person. When you sympathize with somebody, you are higher, better, and the other is lower, falling, degraded. Your ego gets immense satisfaction out of sympathy. But this is how the unconscious mind functions. You don't know exactly what you are doing. First grow into a meditator. Meditation becomes your way of life, not an activity. Then only you will know, how to help others, and yourself.

@Memeito Any spiritual growth is your transformation. Change is very deep. It is flowering of your personality. There can't be any technique to do it quickly.

Anybody who promise fast enlightenment is deceiving you. Unless you have infinite patience , forget about enlightenment.

All masters teach you in such a way that you don't harm yourself and others by these practices. They teach you to clean the mind through meditation. The more we progress through meditation, the more we destroy even the subtlest of ego.

They are doing the greatest miracle , turning unconsciousness into consciousness. A real master can do miracles, still he don't do , this is the miracle, who can resist ? A disciple of a certain Master came to see another Zen Master. The disciple said to the Zen Master, "My Master can do miracles. Can you also perform miracles? My Master can do great things. Once he told me to stand on one side of the bank of a river and he went to the other side. He told me to hold a piece of paper, and I was holding a piece of paper. Far away from the other side, he started writing on it with his pen. The distance was so great, but still the writing appeared. Can you do something like this?" The Master laughed and he said, "If your Master can only do miracles, and is not yet able NOT to do miracles, then he is not enlightened. Because to be capable of not doing miracles is the ultimate in miracles. It is very difficult to resist the temptation when you can do something so special that nobody else can do. If you can materialize things, or if you can fly, or if you can read others' thoughts, or if you can heal people just by touching them, it will be impossible for you to resist. It is so tempting, but it is dangerous. One has to be aware not to use these things, otherwise you will be stuck there and you will never move upwards.

@Gneumatics Music can become meditation—it has both possibilities—it can come down and become mind. Then you are only a technician, not a musician. You may be playing perfectly on the instruments, without any faults, but still you are only a technician. You know the technique perfectly and entirely, but it is not your heart and it is not your being; it is just your knowledge. If you play music for joy, not for profession or to impress others , it is helpful.

@egoeimai You can watch people, and you can see their dances have different qualities. Somebody’s dance is a kind of rage; anger is filtering through his dance, through his gestures. Somebody’s dance has grace to it, love is flowing, a kind of elegance. Somebody else’s dance has compassion in it. Somebody else’s dance has ecstasy in it. somebody else’s dance is just stale and dull, he is just making empty gestures, there is nobody behind them – mechanical. Watch. Why this difference? – because they are carrying different layers of repression. When you dance, your anger will dance if it is there. Where can it go? The more you will dance, the more it will dance. If you are full of love, when you start dancing your love will start overflowing – it will dance all around you, all over the space. Your dance is going to be your dance, it will contain all that you contain. If you are sexually repressed, then your dance will have that.

Osho Dance before music is over

Faith is not belief, it is love. Faith is not belief because it is not half, it is total. Faith is not belief because there is no doubt in it, so how can you believe? Faith is not a rationalization at all: neither for nor against, neither this nor that. Faith is a trusting, a deep trusting, a love. You don’t find any rationalizations for it, it simply is so. I am not talking about the dictionary meaning of the words — in the dictionary it may be so: belief means faith, faith means belief — I am talking about existence. In an existential way belief is borrowed, faith is yours. Belief you believe in but doubt exists just underneath. Faith has no doubt element in it; it is simply devoid of doubt. Belief creates a division in you: a part of your mind believes, a part of your mind denies. Faith is a unity in your being, your totality. Belief is of the mind, of the thinking; faith is of no-mind, of awareness, understanding. Remember the distinction between belief and faith: belief is in an idea; faith is in total reality, faith is a reverence for the whole. Belief is of the mind; faith is of your totality. When you believe in God, you believe in the God of philosophers. When you believe in God, God is an idea, a doctrine. It can be proved or disproved and it will not transform you. But if you have faith, it has already transformed you. I will not say that it WILL transform you. If you have faith, it has ALREADY transformed you. Belief is opposite to faith. You believe because you have doubt; the belief is an antidote to doubt, it is a need to cover up the doubt. Faith is when you don’t have any doubt, so faith is not a belief.

I will trust, whatever you call it, whatever may be the consequence.
