Life is a dream.

2. The second stage must be done totally. You should not be outside the body; you should be in it. When you do something, do it completely: be the action itself, not the actor. This is what I mean by totality: be the action, be the process; don't be the actor. The actor is always outside his play, never in it. When I love, I am totally in it, but when I act love, I am outside the play. On the second stage, so many possibilities will open up… and for each individual, something unique will happen. One person will start dancing, another will start crying. One will undress completely, another will start jumping, and a third will start laughing. Everything is possible. Move from within, move totally, and then you will be able to move to the third stage. The third stage is achieved as a result of the first two stages. In the first stage, the electricity of the body – or you can call it Kundalini – is awakened. It begins to rotate and move. Only then does the body experience complete release, not before. Only when the inner movement has begun does the possibility for outer movements arise. When, in the second stage, the catharsis reaches its peak, its limit, then the third, ten-minute stage begins. Start vigorously chanting the Sufi mantra “Hu!” “Hu!” “Hu!” The energy that was awakened through breathing and expressed through catharsis now begins to move inward and upward; the mantra redirects it. Previously, the energy was moving down and out; now it begins to move inward and upward. Continue to strike the sound “Hu!” “Hu!” “Hu!” inward, until your whole being becomes sound. Exhaust yourself completely; only then can the fourth stage – the stage of meditation – happen. The fourth stage is nothing but silence and waiting. If, during the first three stages, you have moved totally, completely, leaving nothing behind, then in the fourth stage, you will automatically fall into deep relaxation. The body is exhausted; all repressions have been thrown out, all thoughts have been thrown out. Now relaxation comes spontaneously – you don't need to do anything to make it happen. This is the beginning of meditation. A situation has been created: you are not here. Now meditation can happen. You are open, waiting, receptive. And whatever happens, happens. Osho
